Tis the season to be... festive?

WINTER WONDERLAND... London Hyde Park.

I was lucky enough to get a job with a great company PWR LTD Events ( Check their fab events out here! ). They run most of the ice rinks around London over Christmas and do a brilliant job at it - maybe I am biased! So we took advantage of the pretty scenery and went for a magical skate one eve before Christmas...

The atmosphere was amazing, pretty little fairy lights lit up the dark sky, and the 'German Log cabins' were great! There was even a talking reindeer head, alongside artificial snow falling from the 'sky', which was a great hit with everyone!



The talking reindeer, accompanied by the artificial snow falling around us...



Brrrr it's Cold outside...

Although the park was amazing, the temperature dropped rapidly (being Winter and all) so we rushed to the best bar at the event - The Spiegel Saloon;


You wouldn't believe that inside this temporary portable tent, such magical things could happen! It was a fully loaded bar with all the warmed mulled wine and German beer you could drink; the scent of the air was filled with spices & 'Christmas Cinnamon'...



Ahh the photos alone bring back sweet sweet memories of Christmas, and the event, I will definitely be heading back there in 2012! Did any of you manage to visit this festive magical event? What did you think of it?

The After Parties of Graduation!

One Weekend. Two Nights. Five Crazy Parties.




Drinking our tipples from cups because that's just what you have to do in the face of adversity...


A famous Southampton drink called 'Kryptonite' - What makes it so bright green, I do not know, but it's pretty potent!



I seem to be in my natural habitat within a nightclub and I have a buzz constantly, especially when I see friends dancing...





Next Club...Same Night.




My Darling Sister who accompanied me every step of the party ;)




After a good night's sleep and a walk into town to find some greasy food to combat our hangovers, we were ready for an afternoon of relaxation. We stumbled back to our hotel and snuggled down under the duvets watching the best film 'Curly Sue', whilst the rain tapped at our window.


Before we knew it, it was 8pm and time for round two... The Official Graduation Ball.











The ball was amazing, everyone was very glam & sophisticated, so after this we decided to continue the night with even more fun....




It was the best weekend to finish what was the best three years of my life at Uni in Southampton, I loved every minute of it!

First Class Honours!


Yes I graduated, finally (after an unusual wait from uni) it took place in the Southampton Guildhall, and it really was an amazing moment.

My Parents had bought me some brand new Christian Louboutin heels, which were just perfect for a fashion student graduating! The day was fairly nerve-wracking but once I was up on stage collecting my certificate, it all became real! The Dean who shook my hand even asked me how I walked in my heels!






My great Daddy & I...



My best friend 'Bradders' from my course, she's a real superstar!


PHEW! I did it!



My House mates throughout my course, we supported each other, laughed together and went mad together through final major project times. Love you girlies!






My best friend in the whole worrrrrrld (ever)... :D



As I went to return my gown, I walked back down the fashion corridor for the last time and noticed they had put my Final work up for other students to look at, I still cannot believe how quickly those three years went!


Now graduation was done, there was only ONE thing left to do... party.

See my next blog 'The after parties of graduation' for the wild side ;)

My 22nd Birthday!

Well I actually turned 22 in November, but I have been so busy lately (lots of good things to show you!) I owe you guys lots of fun blogs. So I'll keep it quick and easy to read so you can catch up on everything...

My 22nd, my friends and I got glammed up and headed over to Leicester Square, darted around a few quick bars to get into the mood and then finished the evening at the amazing Penthouse nightclub, just around the corner... When you enter the club, you are met by a lobby area, in which you are guided to an elevator, which takes you up to the 6-7th floors! The views of London were just incredible, and the night was brilliant! (With lots of Sambuca!)

My friends bought me lots of lovely presents, including; yummy pink champagne, jewellery and even baked me cakes!










Then every girl needs 1 (or 2 parties) to celebrate so that weekend, on the Saturday I had another cheeky celebration. This time we went into Kingston and partied even harder (!)




They are so tall, it's getting ridiculous, or I am just very small (probably the latter! ;) )



My lovely friend attempting to get in my fluffy pink onesie,
because that is totally normal for a 6ft tall guy....




Overall, it was an amazing birthday, thank you to all my lovely friends & family!
