BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR

  

 

Recently I've begun learning how to drive (finally)and third lesson in I think I've caught the bug.
I don't think you can beat driving down a straight stretch of road, cruising along. It's so 

much fun! And with each lesson I get a little less scared and more confident, and now
I want to drive around everywhere all the time just because it feels so goooood. 

So to honour that, I've found some photos of cars I really love, and trust me, it was 

so hard to pick these out when I just wanted to include every goddam photo!!

GEEK GLASSES APPRECIATION

What better way to begin a Saturday than a geek glasses appreciation post.

Me think they look rather swanky, if I do say so myself...

   

   

  

  

Have you ever seen a better end to a post than this, seriously?

FEMALE EMPOWERMENT

I don't know about you, but I have these days where I come home and

I just feel a bit deflated or disheartened, for whatever reason.

It's like that core sense of strength has been weakened and it needs 

rebuilding again, or it needs to be revitalised.

And I find that imagining myself as a strong, confident, independent woman
(like that tape Chandler listens to on Friends) normally helps add a spring in

my step and refocuses my thoughts in the right direction.

I hold my head higher, I believe I can do anything and everything, I value

myself in all my perfections and imperfections, I care less about the petty things

and more on the things that really matter, I walk with a purpose, a reason, I embrace

who I am and find I am content with who I am, I have a positive outlook on life. 

I am empowered.

And to all my ladies out there, who sometimes feel the same, these are for you.

HELLO VALENTINES DAY

As you're probably more than aware, tomorrow is

Valentines Day, and as is always the case with me,

I don't have a Valentine.

My Nan & Grandad took pity on me this year and

sent me an 'anonymous' card in the post (LOL LOL
LOL LOL) and bought me chocolates to make

me feel better (which I can't stop eating).

I have to say, from my first ever experience of receiving

an 'anonymous' card, I ruddy hate it because I don't

like not knowing who sent it me.

Does my absolute NUT in. 

As soon as I opened my card I was straight on the phone 

to my Nan & Grandad,interrogating them for five minutes 

straight until they finally gave in and admitted it 

was them.

Of course I then said they could do better aka. give me 

more chocolates next time plz. 

But back to the matter, this year is the first

year EVER where nearly all my friends have boyfriends and

whatevs', and they're all getting cooked for or taken

out and getting more chocolates than me & all that jazz.

I of course am single as always, but today I've

been thinking things through and realised that I haven't

really met anyone who 'floats my boat' yet, or basically

I like/ love enough to want him to be my boyfriend.

And I'm actually strangely excited, once again, at the 

thought of being a single lady (ooh er).

And as for Valentines Day, well I can't say it

matters that much to me any more. It's a cute idea but
me being me, I always expected some guy to come out of 

the shadows and proclaim his love for me on that one 

specific day every year, and that we would live happily 

ever after, which of course never ever ever EVER 

happened. 

So this year, I'm spending the day with one of my lovely 

single friends and weirdly enough, one of my friends who

is in a relationship, and who was moaning to me last year

about being single still (bless her), because she 'didn't 

want to be left out' and 'miss out on all the fun' (hah)

I think we're going to go mini golf in Nottingham

or stay in and watch movies and eat chocolates and

be like 'woo hoo, single lyf 4 da win'.

Either way, it's a vast improvement on last year

when I got locked inside a toilet in Spain and

had to be rescued by a hunky Spanish man in front

of my entire Spanish class plus some Spanish people 

too ;)

Happy Valentines Day to you all!

DUNGAREES: THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

Yesterday I went shopping and as is always the case,

I was resolute on the matter that I would not buy a 

single thing. Under no circumstances would a shiny gold 

pound slip out of my hand, nor would my debit card be 

swiped, swished or see the light of day.

LET ME TELL YOU RIGHT NOW

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.

And I'll tell you why.

It was all H & M's fault. 

In my mind, as I walked into the store,

I was thinking 'I will only part with my cash

if I find a piece of clothing that is truly amazing,

an investment piece unlike anything I already own.

I can't want it, I have to desperately need

it to be mine.'

And there was me, thinking that this criteria

was pretty solid and all that, impossible to fulfil,

 but lo and behold, my eyes fell upon a collection of 

dungarees and I was instantly smitten.

I tried on a few pairs in a variety of styles

and colours, but when I tried on the pair you can

see in the photo above, I knew they were the one.

They fit like the most perfect dream.

They were the right length, they were high waisted,

they were comfy, fitted, they accentuated and 

complemented my figure, they were the perfect colour, 

design.

You can see them below:

Normally I wouldn't go for dungarees, or I wouldn't

have thought that they'd fit me or look any good on me,

yet finding these babies has completely changed my 

perspective of them. Dungarees are so versatile,

you can wear them oh so many different ways and

what's best, they make fashion easy, even if going

to the toilet becomes a bit of a nightmare what with

all the buttons, straps and zips.

Just throw on a t-shirt or jumper underneath,

or over the top (that's another reason why dungarees

are so cool) and you're good to go.

Here are some pictures of people cooler than me

wearing dungarees for you to peruse over.

Dungarees were meant to be having some big fashion

comeback yet it never really seemed to take off, so

let's start a dungaree revolution jah?!?!
