Sunday Morning Without a Warning.....

So I've decided to change up my weekly updates to Sunday. I've now settled down here in Bournemouth so I decided Sunday is my less busiest day. OK so lets get down to business. Let me tell you how much I love where I live. I live in the town of Poole. It's a natural harbor and surrounding the east of the harbor are some million dollar homes. Yeah the rich like it here because the weather is milder and there are less schools, traffic, pollution, etc etc. So its definitely a serene location if you want to retire and live it up! My dorm is pretty new and what I like the most is my privacy. I have my own suite including a bathroom, bed desk, and teeny closet(urgh). School doesn't start til tomorrow and I already had my first anxiety dream. In my dream I stupidly went home for the weekend and realized that if I left on Sunday I wouldn't make it back in time for school...NIGHTMARE!! LOL

TIME FOR THE GOODIES:

I scored two giveaways this week! One from the awesome blog "The Budget Babe". She is what I call my BLOG hero :) Check out the site you will not be disappointed.
I won the Paddington Hi Boots from EMU Australia (Retail $189.00). Which is a major god send because it will keep my toesies warm in the cold England weather that I have not the pleasure of experiencing yet.



Next, I won a $25 GC to use at http://www.shopecbc.com/. Denim Debutante was kind enough to sponsor this lovely giveaway.

So I don't know what to get yet but here are some faves ( leave a comment to help me choose which is your fave)Tie dye denim



Drapey Bib Design Top

Boho Tunic

I definitely love the jean but they only have a 27 left. It has some stretch so I think I can pull it off without trying it on. But that always scares me. I think the two tops are cute but in UK the middle one is pretty much the style here. So don't forget to leave a comment below and tell me which one you think is best.

SOTD: Site of the Day

My Pretty Sample Bag is a site that sells samples of makeup products. The cool part about it is that you can choose what samples you want out of a pretty decent list of brands. I just ordered some samples from MARK, Eyeko, Mineralicious and NYX. There are three easy steps: choose what size bag you would like (5 or 8 samples), add the samples you would like to the cart then checkout. Easy peasy right?? The mini bag is $5.50 and the regular is $8, this price includes the shipping. In the days of yore, samples were only given if you bought something from a makeup counter. At this site, you can buy a handful for a pretty little price. Can't wait to get my package!! (Use code ONEOFF to get $1 off your order)

Jet Set Woes!

Hiya Everyone :) My first post from across the pond! I can't believe I've been here 5 days already. On the way over I was able to sit FIRST CLASS! Yeah whole new world up there. Seriously only way to fly. I can see why people get a spoiled "I'm rich and you're not" attitude when they are up there. But not me I was just grateful to be amongst the elite. Oh and for my Chi Omega fans, I was sitting next to an Alumni. She was telling me how she forgot the words to 'Shades' and I was like "Don't worry I never knew them in the first place!"....Small World, right Chi O's???? Anyway, weather in London has been up and down. Typical weather is sunny one day then cloudy or rainy the next. I bought one of those tiny little folding umbrellas to put in my purse just in case. I've already managed to spend money at a couple of shops called Primark and TK MAXX. Primark is comparable to H&M but WAY cheaper and I'm assuming TK MAXX is their version of TJ Maxx. This weekend I plan on visiting the Portabello Market in Notting Hill Gate. Pics to come :)
