The peculiar post

I like making lists. I like to know where I stand, what comes next, what's the next thing to take up my time and thinking. So I make lists. Lists I always keep and lists I never keep. This week is a ghost for me. It wasn't supposed to happen. I was given some extra time I didn't want, some time I was convinced I didn't need. But, here it is, anyway.

So I made a list with some possible things I will be doing, until I get better.

1. dye my hair chocolate brown

well, this time of the year has come, when no one will protest again ruining my ombre. it's winter, it's a new year, it's a change I want to make and quite honestly: why the fuck not? if I absolutely hate it, ombre again it will be. until then, calm the fuck down, people.

2. wear my 2013 charm bracelet before the actual 2013

I got it delivered tonight and I feel so confident about it. every year I leave it until January, and by then there are no stylish ones left at the jewellery stores. it's a minimal black cord, it has my second luckiest number on it (13, my luckiest is 21 obviously), a bronze circle and I like it. don't be a twat about it, now that Apocalypse jokes are over, 2013 will eventually come.

3. do some serious studying

well. this needs to be done so buckle up and just do it. step by step, page by page, class by class so there will be no tears at the next month's exams.

4. wait in patience for my black boots order

I did it, I ordered them, and before they even came, I have regretted it a little bit. what was I thinking? they are so gorgeous; I can't pull them off! Or can I? (highly overpriced any way) I will wait for them to arrive and make up my mind.

and for irrelevant things' sake, here's the post picture.

to take your minds off the starbucks cups, the red lollipops, Santa Baby, ugg boots and Demi Lovato(?)

because we've had enough already

and because it WILL be summer again

p.s. I enjoyed writing this post more than I should have,

I think

Oh, bloody h

I am finally home, after a really uncomfortable time I had at the airport, waiting for someone to pick me up. Okay, since last Sunday I suffer from Laryngitis (wikipedia info: is an inflammation of the larynx; it causes hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal cords). Of course I had complete loss of my voice. You know, it's so frustrating not to be able to speak. Add that to a locked SIM and you'll get in what condition I was yesterday alone at the airport. I had a little fever too, so as soon as my parents found me sitting alone with my two suitcases, I burst into tears. A happy start to my holidays, right?

Did you notice my photo on my last post? I didn't want to mention it, but I will keep it up for a little bit longer so you can see. A month earlier I mentioned that I am about to have some kind of nose job. That means, I will fix the technical problems with my breathing, and then I will have it 'toned' (?). We're not going to crack any bone, but I will fix the look of it too, so it can be more lean and thin. It's pretty thick now, if you go check.
But, due to Laryngitis, the anesthesiologist refused to let me have the surgery tomorrow, so it will be postponed until next Friday. It's such a major setback though, because obviously I was prepared to have it now, and I wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve stitch-free. Moreover, I wanted to be able to go back home without having a bloated nose..

Anyway, we couldn't risk it, and I really hope everything will go (more than) well next week.

London Shopping

So I tried to gather almost everything I purchased from my trip to London and show it to you! Excuse the poor quality, it was a cloudy day today, and please comment with your favourites!


Topshop tee, already one of my faves, shit quality though

Primark shirt
(my first ever purchase from Primark, not a big fan)

Urban Outfitters dress (this is the back of it) on SALE!

Urban Outfitters sweater (this is the back), so over sized I'm wearing it as a casual chunky dress with tights :)

Topshop real leather purple on one side, black on the other, bag. VERY handy on a night out!

Brandy Melville's gym bag.
I was SO thrilled to discover a Brandy Melville at London!!

Brandy Melville again. I've got so many compliments on this shirt.

Brandy Melville, and personal favourite and a winter must-have!

From Anthropologie's sale, obviously.
Even a candle is overpriced in there..but such a pretty store!!

Topshop studded cardigan, slouchy and soft!

My new cases, from Topshop, I don't know which one to like the most!

Kurt Geiger boots.
I tried like a hundred of similar boots but decided to get these. Love them!

So, all in all, these are my main purchases. What is your favourite one? I also got some underwear and sweats from Victoria's Secret and a couple of simple earrings from U.O. The last thing I wanted but decided not to have it, are a pair of studded biker boots, that I got online yesterday for under-the-tree present. Photos when they arrive!

have a beautiful pre-holidays weekend everyone :)

When tea is all that's left

I am not sure what day it is, but let's assume I check my laptop and it says Thursday. ooooh my god, this week is passing so fucking slowly! I have so many things to do, so many things have happened since I set foot back home, and I am waiting for the weekend to get some extra sleep.

Some of the highlights of this past week..

My friend broke up after three years of an unhealthy relationship and she's obviously been very moody. Since I'm her only (pretty much) friend around here, we've been drinking, singing, watching movies, making vodka jello shots, doing sleep overs and in general everything to keep her from thinking and to realise this is a right decision. Hopefully she won't go back, if asked to.

I went on a date with this biology guy, which I had turned down last May, and we had a nice time kissing. Wondering why I want him now or why I turned him down last year? Oh well, you know how fucked up I am when it comes to relationships and yes, I have nothing else to 'play with' lately and I'm bored. But that's a secret. Of course he now plays hard to get, but I don't mind just going out for a few dates and then don't speak anymore. In any other case, I can see me and him dating until Easter holidays. But no, no further.

My experiments are going well, and even though I have the flu these days, I like going to the lab and actually getting some job done. The lab people are so friendly with me and actually call me "little miss". I feel lucky to work with them a year, compared to the lab people my friends are in.

Oh, yes, I've been starving and binging all week now it's madness. It's the mood swings, it's the cold, it's the delicious Christmas food, it's me.

Maf is sooooo pretty!

Very berry

I thought to make an appearance on here, just to let you know I'm alive. The journey back was long and lonely and to be completely honest, a little hangover-ed too. I had such an amazing time!! London is always great, but it keeps getting better every time I visit.
On the second plane home I was so scared because of the turbulence that my hands were shaking when we finally touched down. That gave the opportunity to the guy sitting next to me to start talking and talking until I could actually get off that plane. He calmed me a bit with his jokes though. I assume I was pale with fear, because another man told me something funny as well, so thank you kind guys!

Back to reality much quicker than I thought, my lab work is by now very interesting and I could do lots of stuff alone -no need for my supervisor to stand beside me all day- so I got extra credit for that! Sad thing is that exams start on 10/01 so (as always) no Christmas holidays for me..
Not that I was planning on doing so, because by then I will be wrapped around my nose like a giant brunette present. Yes, we set the surgery date for the 21st, so it's getting pretty close and I'm getting really nervous.

Well, that is all. The first catch up for my post-London blogging. Obviously I will make a shopping post and an award one, because I have apparently been nominated for two! But I just need to find some time to do quality posts.

Till then, many kisses!
