Supermarket Sweep

Hi guys. Still a manic week and I start a second job tonight, but I managed to squeeze in some shopping during a food shop and found this gorgeous cardigan from Asda which needs to be shared.

These pictures really don't do it justice as my camera is awful and I'm desperately saving for a posh one :)

The beige thread you can see is actually a gold wool and it's very vintage 1980s. A bargain for £16, especially as when I got to the check out the lady said she'd seen an exact copy for £110 in French Connection. Chuffed.

I also brought Kesha's album for a fiver. I wasn't her biggest fan but it's amazing work out music, and I actually love the video for Your love is my drug.

In other news, I've been making candles since the beginning of summer as I couldn't afford the posh ones.

Scents and wax are really cheap off ebay and my new batch came today. Their arrival has made my day.

Hopefully when life calms down next week I can whip some up, so expect strawberry scented tea-cup candles soon.

Favourite things this week

The past couple of weeks have been one of those times when everything seems to happen all at once.

You end up rushing around on sheer adrenaline and miss out on everything.

But it's also one of those times when I appreciate the little things more. Here are a few of the things that have made my week :)

The boyfriend. Enough said

QVC. It sends me to sleep.

The Dome. Also sends me to sleep.



Mini poppadoms. Yum.

Girlie nights. When friends descend at 11pm armed with wine.

Lemon aid. For the ridiculous bags ughh.

This blog has been so slow starting.

I started this aiming to post every other day and I will once this hellish week is over. Scout's honour.

I do have some ideas in the pipeline and want to share them with you all, so stay tuned ladies.

“The key to change... is to let go of fear.”

This is actually dictating my life right now

Amy

Amy. 20.

I'm awful at introducing myself, so I figured start with the hard facts, and as this progresses who I am will become pretty obvious.

Basically, I'm 20 (and a month) and study journalism at De Montfort uni.

I come from a village near Birmingham, stay in Leicester during term time and dream of living in London.

I love life- and everything about it.

I love music, art, fashion, people, places, things, words...

I tried this blog lark before, but my heart wasn't in it and I wasn't sure what I was trying to achieve.

This time, it doesn't matter about achieving anything, it doesn't matter that it has no direction- It's about expression; where all my passions, hopes and realities will be recorded and shared.

It's called Flamingos and Bows as they're my current obsessions, I'm dooding flamingos on everything and am wearing bows in any form. I'll probably be over them by 2011, but this is who I am right now.
