project 365: 138-144

138 Rewriting and revising all the notes.

139 First exam done!

140 Far too many books and documents that I had to learn.

141 Some days my hair's actually quite nice, some days I have no idea what is going on with it. I've actually been thinking I might need to start straightening my hair, but I'm pretty sure I've either given my straighteners to my mum or sold them. Genuinely think it's been  at least six years since I last straightened my hair, haha!

142 Very happy to have done my last exam and finished uni!

143 Now I can finally start reading non-uni books, which is quite exciting:-)

144 I've had this giraffe ring for years, but I rarely wear it as it's a tiny bit too big. Might try giving it more use though because it is cute!

project 365: 131-137

I'm a bit bummed that I couldn't keep to my schedule, and last week's project 365 photos are now a day late, but, you know, life happens. I was dying in bed all day on Sunday and revised all day on Monday, so there wasn't too much time to spare for editing and posting. But I've still been doing this project every day, which is good and I'm almost half-way through! How exciting.

 131 Took some outfit photos in my favourite place and there was lots of lil' flowers, too.

 

132 I'm doing grandma chic quite well at the moment, if I do say so myself.

133 Leftover spinach pancakes for lunch! I may have made enough pancake batter so that I had pancakes for three days..

134 In addition to pancakes, jaffa cakes have been my latest food obsession. Does anyone else eat something for weeks without getting enough of it and then go off the food for a while, haha? That's me. I eat in phases, and now's definitely a 12-jaffa-cakes-a-day phase.

135 Emotional times. If you don't share my love for Steven Gerrard, I don't want to hear your opinion. Really.

136 Half a day of revising, but after the disastrous Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace game everything went downhill and I spent the rest of the day watching TV and films with my housemates.

137 Like I said, I spent all of Sunday in bed dying of a migraine. I'm not too fond of not-having-a-good-head life. And my head's been really bad lately. Anyway, here's a not at all interesting fact: my favourite position to lie in bed is on my back with my feet up. Also, a good reading position. Although, I mainly do it when no-one's there to see me 'cause it does look weird. But not weird enough not to share on le internet. If you have a foot fetish, you're welcome, and if you hate feet, I'm sorry!

V&A

 A puppy coming out of a flower, because why not?

 I don't know why but I want/need this wine cooler in my life.

All of this belongs to you. I feel like that is a really nice museum sentiment.

 A bit annoyed at myself for thinking I'd remember what the story behind this was, and now I can't even remember the name of the statue..

 Love this ceiling, the colours are stunning.

 Felt a spiritual connection with the middle angel. All the other angels seemed to have a purpose of playing an instrument &c. whereas the middle one is just posing there as if he either had no clue or just had a fabulous attitude.

I've been meaning to visit the Victoria & Albert museum for so long that it really was high time I did it. And I wish I had done it ages ago because now I'm in love with the place. It is so beautiful and everything is so visually pleasing. I found out that I have a thing for the colour combination of white and gold, as well as for pictures of myself in centuries-old mirrors. I rediscovered the feelings I had in the period in my life a few years back when I was really into keys. I also thought about the strange(ish) fact that queen Victoria is always portrayed in her later years and the sculpture of a young Victoria is probably one of my favourite things at the V&A. A bit envious of that rose flower crown, too. If you've seen my selfies with Victoria and Albert on Instagram, you might have been reminded that they're my favourite royals. I half on purpose forgot that I was recommended to have a scone at the V&A, so now I have a reason to go back soon. If I lived any closer, I could see myself spending a lot of me-time here, haha:-) So beautiful.

project 365: 124-130

124 I've been trying to tidy up my room, which is taking so much more time and effort than it really should.. But I found my mum and dad's wedding photo that I keep in my wallet. How cute. It's so strange to me that my mum is actually a couple of years younger in the photo than I am now.

125 Also re: tidying, I was trying to organise all of the paper things I've acquired over the past few months. Because, obviously, I need to keep them all.

126 Wearing my favourite print, and the pile of books on my bedside table has become a lot smaller since I don't have to have all the books for research on it anymore. Hooray!

127 Only realised my shoes and purse match while walking to go vote. Accidentally matching outfits make me happy, I suppose.

128 Post-GE feelings.

129 I ordered myself a graduation ring! Actually going to cry if I've measured my fingers wrong and it's not the right size.

130 Hope you all remembered your mothers, if you were celebrating Mother's Day yesterday. And if you're from the UK, you should still call your mum, she deserves it. (Tip for people considering having children: have them with someone from a different country/country with different holidays, and you'll get to celebrate two Mother's Days (and Father's Days) and possibly get more presents. My mum's clever like that.)

why don't you break my heart one more time, just for good luck

 Dress - 2nd hand/Nanso/Diy

Leather jacket - Auntie's old

Belt - Primark

Shoes - New look

Backpack&Padding - Amazon

I've come to realise that during the past year or so I've accumulated quite a few things that I've been meaning to show and share with you, but haven't. I'll have to try and change that! So here's two things that I've been wearing a lot since I got them. The dress is something I got from a friend of my mum's. You probably haven't heard of a Finnish brand named Nanso, but they often do crazy patterns and use good quality fabric, which is evident from the dress, too. It's just something really easy to throw on, I usually don't even add a belt, and I really like it. It was originally a shirt, but to make it more wearable for myself I diy'd it a little. I've sewn the slits from the sides away as well as added and changed the buttons. Such simple little things, but they still make a great change as before I did them I never wore this.

While the dress was something that was really nice to receive (my mum's friends are the actual best), the backpack is something I needed to get. 1) Because I didn't have anything to carry my camera in and 2) because my back has been so bad that I needed a backpack instead of carrying a bag on my arm or over my shoulder. Clearly I'm getting old and practical. I considered buying a proper camera backpack, but they're so pricey (and I am so poor) that I figured I'd get this and the padding so that I can remove it and use with other bags if I want/need to. The seller calls it pink, but I'd say it's more magenta/aniline, or am I colour blind? In any case I really like the colour with the leather, and kind of look forward to it looking more tattered after many adventures. This is basically my go to bag now, especially if I'm going on a day trip out of town or just spending the day out my house. And although my camera does take up about half the space inside, it's still roomy enough for me to have other essential (and not so essential) things with me.
