The room is turning slowly away from the moon

 

 

Hello,

I feel like my greetings are always so dull but what can you say other than hello , hi etc...? Hola? Greetings? I'll think on that. Anyway, this post is based around a wonderful little find I had yesterday. I had just got off the bus on my way to work and happened to see a charity shop open. I was 20 minutes early for work and so decided to pop in for a quick nosy. Little was I to know I was about to tumble across the greatest pair of shorts I think I will ever own. AND IN MY SIZE. I MEAN, WHAT ARE THE ODDS? They were high waisted, with a beautiful floral pattern with a black background and were only £3.50! It was obviously meant to be so I (very spontaneously for me) bought them immediately, along with a gorgeously elegant cream headscarf.

 

 

HERE THEY ARE! These photos really don't do them justice - they are so beautiful. (I apologise for the background in these photos i.e. the teddies etc. We were in a slight rush this morning so I just snapped a few pics before I left. I will get round to using a more creative setting one of these days!)

 I know the rest of my outfit is quite dull really, just back tights, black shirt and I wore brown boots and a maroon cardi, but the shorts and hair were my main focus today!

And ohhh the headscarf. My friend slept over last Thursday and we were messing around with one of my headscarf's and she (jokingly, to start off with) twisted one around a bit and twisted it then around my head. I was feeling rather ridiculous until I looked in the mirror and realised that with a few adjustments and clips, this could be a look I could pull off. And so today, I finally did it. I did something with my hair. I honestly never do anything with my hair because... well, I just don't like my hair really! But today I tried it and I think it went alright? It probably doesn't look like much but it felt so weird as normally I just have my hair down, covering my face and chest! I felt so ridiculously sophisticated and with a slap of my cheap red lipstick and my groovy shorts I felt more confident than I have done in a looong time. it felt very 'vintage-esque' as well, which made me feel all the more comfortable and...well, me!

 

 

 I threw on some (VERY cheap) gold earrings and this camera necklace I bought in the sale at Culture Vulture in Leeds ( amazing shop), and I feel that this pulled the whole look together.

Today was a brilliant day. I went shopping for the first time in a long time - honestly, I felt like I was having withdrawal symptoms. I actually think I am having withdrawal symptoms from 'Our House'. The shows all went amazingly well (apart from Saturday matinee, but honestly, that show is best forgotten about...) and I loved every second of it. I get way too attached to the show and the people at these things. (We got some brilliant 5 star reviews too!)

Anyway, today was shopping at White Rose Centre in Leeds, mostly for the holiday this time next week! I actually hardly bought anything for the holiday as I just saw so many other things that I didn't need at all but absolutely fell in love with at first sight! I'll take some pics of everything I bought soon, probably on Wednesday, as I'm working all of tomorrow, but honestly, some things were just to die for!

It was so lovely to be able to get dressed up again after weeks of rehearsals in sports gear! My mum also treated me to my first proper red lipstick from The Body Shop, as she was buying an orangey one and they were on three for two. Safe to say I've fallen in love with it and it
 probably won't last very long! I'm going out with some friends on Wednesday night so that's another chance to get dressed up woopee! (Just read that back...oh god. Sounds very sad, but that is my life as of now!)

I'm off to watch the end of 'Wuthering Heights' now (with Tom Hardy, mmmm). Hope everyone's having a wonderful summer! Much love,
