30 Day Snap #4 | Quiet time in Starbucks & OOTD

Well hello there, long time no see...

I managed to shove a little OOTD into this post. But it's just one picture and you can't really see exactly what I'm wearing, plus there's no shoes... pretty much it's a useless OOTD, but whateves as the young ones say.

I love chunky necklaces, well I love jewelry in general but chunky necklaces are an amazing fashion statement. I decided to wear my Primark one today (remember guys, yesterday... I'm taking this challenge from a different angle) and well I thought it blended in with my shirt.

Coming to London I can wear what I want and not feel self-conscious about it. Like seriously you can see anything in London. Not saying it's a bad thing, it's a very good thing as a matter of fact.

Fashion is the way to express yourself. Like you can kinda tell a lot by a person with how they dress themselves. I myself like to change around a bit, apart from gothic/ punk clothes. They do not suit me. That I do know!

My favourite style to wear is more of a sophisticated, chic, classic sort of look. I've begun to love black all of a sudden, before I used to hate it, believing it washed away everything. But no it appears I'm becoming my mum and loving the classic noir colour.

What I wore

Necklace - Primark (We call it Pennies back home in Ireland, no idea why)

Top - quiet old and came from a vintage boutique in Co. Galway, Ireland

Trousers - Next

Peachy The Randomness of Unicorns and Jaz (who will have a blog coming to you peeps soon enough) sat in Starbucks after receiving good news on our tests. I myself got a vanilla latte, sorry pardon me, a venti-skinny-vanilla latte, you have to know how to speak Starbucks! Haa!

Anyway as you can see from the picture, there's Jaz with the Hedwig b-day pressie I got her from King's Cross Station and Peachy looking dissatisfied with the coffee smell surrounding her. She doesn't drink the stuff and yet even with not being able to handle caffeine she was waking up to the aroma of the room, a very strong aroma at that! Yes she was quiet hyper at this point.

I wouldn't be anywhere without my oyster card. Oh and did you hear that they won't be taking cash anymore on the bus from the beginning of July. I love to slow them down with my pennies :) EVIL!

I bought a makeup bag that was badly needed. I bought the beauty in 'Superdrug' for about £7.99

Quiet time is in Starbucks with a book and a drink. Even though I don't particularly like the layout of the cafe in Barnet I like to sit there and pretend as though I'm in another world.

The town library is another, strange to say it, a chilling out place. I didn't do any work in it though, I just answered and read a few emails and caught up with you lovlies on Bloglovin'.

Where is your perfect place for quiet time? Meditation, yoga, walking, applying nail varnish with some music playing...don't forget to always give time to yourself.

Thankful Thursday

I really don't know whether my week will interest you. Nothing exciting really, just plain old giving in last module assignments and working  A LOT of shifts. Working half days I think is perhaps the worst as you dread the beginning of the day. I feel as though I don't have enough time to do what I want.

But since it is summer mid-term break over here in the UK, I at least have my chance to get some money earned for the summer. It's the reason why I smile at work, cos it's not a death sentence being there. I see people sulking around wanting to go home. They should be happy that they have a job at all, and with good pay.

So what I've been thankful for...

Being able to earn money for this coming summer. Not to be badgering Mum for it heehee.

New blog design by Edel... cheers Edel, it's amazeballs. I love how the house on the hill reminds me of my home back in Ireland, placed on top of a great hill with a view of the Sligo mountains.

More pressies - some beauties such as revlon lipbutter in strawberry shortcake, a Next Nail set and lastly on Saturday I was surprised by a parcel at my door. My friends in Ireland all bought me a lovely Pandora bracelet, with a 21 charm, a bar of Milka chocolate bar (they know me so well), a collage photo & a card. I do love the sterling silver bracelet. So beautiful.

I'm thankful for knowing the wonderful mother Linda in my class. She reminds me of my mum so much. She's happy and uplifting to be around. Her infectious laugh has me in stitches all the time. I admire how she handles her stress. So, naturally, I sit with her in the library, hoping her stability will rub off on me.

Getting to listen to my bestie Edels voice. I haven't heard her singing in such a long time and I miss her funky music.

Having a nice chat with mum on the house phone with a cupcake and a pot of tea.

Costa time with my little cousin 'Coco' as I call her, with her chocolate brown eyes. Me with my caramel iced latte and her with her trying-to-be-grown-up baby chino.

I have only 3 weeks (not counting this week as it's almost up, plus it sounds much better) until I'm on the plane back to Ireland. I'm taking each day as it comes but my heart is thumping for the yearning of getting back to my home. Of getting to see the beautiful scenery, and seeing my new lambs... so cute. Oh and seeing my brother with his curly red head. Poor lambs think he's one of them.

Thanks for reading.

I imagine next Thursday I'll be all hyped up, getting closer to departure :)
