In November...

Well its here!! Its actually December which means my festive induced excitement is actually allowed. Apologies for the lack of posts recently but as soon as it hits November I can't help but become childlike and not stop thinking about presents, wrapping and decorations so I've been slightly distracted that coupled with having guests over pretty much every weekend I've not had a chance to sit down and blog but heres a sneak peek at whats kept me away this month...
(apologies for the super long post!)

Remembered the 5th of November...
Me and the boy decided to take a trip to Wilmslow to watch the bonfire display and although its not a favourite night of mine, standing in the cold isn't my choice of way to pass the time, but the boy loves this night so I grinned and bared it and actually had a great time!




Had a change...
I decided that after 22 years of never dying my hair it was time for a change - this was not a easily made decision as I'm ridiculously precious over my hair after only 2 occasions of actually leaving the hairdressers happy rather than in tears. So I decided to ease myself into the process and opt for an ombre effect rather than an all over colour so I had some warm tones put throughout my hair and lightened the ends and a new fringe! I love the subtle effect and I plan to go lighter in the summer months - not a huge change I know but hey baby steps!




Went to an Event or Two...
This month was pretty busy with two blogger events to attend, the first was thrown by PopCouture.co.uk in London held at the Neo Barbican bar, it was small and intimate and perfect for their first event. They had amazing "PopStar" Martinis as refreshments and a great make up artist who tried out some daring glitter lips, smoky eyes and I even tried a black gloss lip - which I loved! Heres some snaps from the night and be sure to check out www.popcouture.co.uk as their party collection is amazing! Full outfit post coming soon.





The second blogger event was held closer to home in Manchester, thrown by DaisyStreet.co.uk to showcase their A/W collection and celebrate their first brand birthday. It was a great night at a cool venue and I got to meet some great bloggers some of whom I've read their blogs for ages and love! Plus  the personalised DaisyStreet.co.uk cupcakes were amazing! I wore my new sequin leggings which I love (also from DaisyStreet) and styled them similarly to this outfit here.






Had the Best Catch Up...
The last weekend in November had to be one of my favourite weekends of the year so far, one of my closest friends from back home came to visit and although I don't have hardly any photos of the weekend it definitely deserves a mention as it was so lovely to catch up - we literally didn't stop talking the whole weekend and as we don't live down the road from each other anymore so we made the most of it and attended a vintage clothing fayre, saw the Twilight film and generally spoke non stop and put the world to rights. I was tempted to hold her captitve when it was time to leave!
