Pre-emptive outfit

I took my last exam this morning and left school smiling non stop! This also means that after I've written 9 posts I'll return to my normal posting schedule of once a week on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.

I applied to go to a one day course at SOAS which is The School of Oriental and Asian Studies, this is one of the universities that come under 'The University of London'. My course is in International Law and its a taster day. I'll write more about these kinds of thing in my student series so students at the GCSE/A Level stage and look into it and apply for similar courses if they want :)

I was choosing an outfit and my cousin was free so we did a mini photoshoot of an outfit I may wear for this course tomorrow, which is why I titled this preemptive. Also, it's not too clear in the photos but I tried out the Benefit 'They're Real!' gel eyeliner pen at the counter today. It comes out on Saturday and I paid a £5 deposit to make sure I could get one - I love it that much! I'll probably write a post on it soon after.

I've listed the shops/brands that I bought everything from, but I'm pretty sure that except the Pandora rings and jewellery from Accessorize, I purchased them quite a while ago so shops aren't likely to stock them, sorry!

Apologies and explanation

Hi! I'm really sorry that I haven't done my weekly post and including this week I have 5 to make up. I just want to quickly explain. Even though I said I would continue posting during exams, my exams haven't been going too well and I've been going through a lot of personal stuff also therefore I decided to stop posting and put more focus into my exams then make up the posts after I finish.

I have 2 more exams on Monday and Tuesday next week, then on Wednesday I'm in London for a one day course I signed up for. This means that for the most part I will have the free time to make up my 5 posts and write the post due for next week and resume my normal 'schedule'.

If it's reassuring in any way, I do have a few of the posts planned out - just from stuff I've done or thought about recently:
- I went shopping in London with a friend last week so I'll probably do an outfit and haul post since I didn't buy a lot;
- Quick fix beauty tips for after the gym or swimming or the beach;
- I've been thinking about starting a 'student' series, talking about university applications and extra curricular stuff people my age can do because I've researched quite thoroughly into it and I know some schools don't really offer many of these opportunities;
- A mini series about beauty DIYs;
- 'Summer legs' DIY.

To finish off, sorry for not posting and not writing a little note explaining that I wasn't posting but I hope you'll come back to find the new content next week. :)
