Last year I worked full-time from April - September and felt like I missed out massively on all the fun stuff my friends were doing on their summer break from uni. I was earning good money but never had anything fun to spend it on! This year I've sworn to have as much fun as I can, so I've made a few plans that I thought I'd share with you.
1. Explore more of London. I've lived just half an hour from London (on the train) for a long time now and only ever visited for the same sort of things: Oxford Street, mostly. Recently I've been going to different places and simply wandered, without a direct place or purpose. It's so beautiful, and I can't wait to do this more.
2. Go to Brighton. I've seen a hundred photographs, vlogs and blog posts about Brighton and it looks lovely. I've never been and it doesn't take that long to get there, so I'd love to visit.
3. Read more books. I've got an extensive list of books I want to read, and with my kindle it's a lot more possible than before. If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
4. Meet new people. I love catching up with old friends and meeting new people, and I aim to do a lot of that this summer. I didn't get to do this at all last year and it made for a very quiet summer!
5. Be more productive. By this I mean preparing for my dissertation (waaa), exercising a lot more and continuing to blog a often as I have been. I find I'm happier when I have things to do; I really don't like sitting indoors doing nothing all day!
Love the necklace and the skirt- it's really pretty!

Thank you lovely xx
DeleteWow I love this outfit, I have been awful at embracing midi skirts if they aren't bodycon but this has genuinely swayed me- I want to buy one now as you look so pretty xx

Thank you sweet! Bodycon clothes do not flatter me at all so I've never swayed towards them haha xx
DeleteI really love what you're wearing, the colour of your top is gorgeous. I love your skirt too, midis are a style that have really grown on me of late!
ReplyDeleteOne of my aims (in summer or later- depending on when I have enough money really haha) is to go to London for the first time. Some of my family are only an hour away from there so it seems silly that I've never visited!

By the way, I've nominated your blog for The Liebster Award: http://asseenonlouise.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/leibster-award-nomination.html :)
DeleteYes you should definitely visit! There's so much to see and do, and especially when the weather's good everything is so much more beautiful! xx
Deletei would love to explore london, i really want to be there so badly and i feel like i wouldn't leave anymore but that doesn't bother me at all. you look lovely in that skirt, i know what you mean by working full time but i don't have time to see my friends when i have my finals, its just so much stress.

london is such an amazing place but i'm still unsure as to whether i could live there. i like being close enough that it's easy to get to but it's just so hectic and chaotic! ahh yeah it's so rubbish :/ i hope you're not too stressed! xx
DeleteI love this outfit! I think we have the exact same hopes/plans for this Summer, I was working all of summer last year as well :-( xx

thank you! ah it sucks doesn't it, the money is great but i missed all my friends! xx
DeleteThis is such a lovely outfit - you do not look frumpy at all. You should definitely reach at least a few of these goals, from what you've said, you should definitely enjoy your summer more! If you're up for a good fictional read that's full of humor, I recommend anything by Sophie Kinsella. Anything from her Shopaholic series or other novels; she'll be cracking you up all day and her writing is so witty and addictive.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all these goals! I'm going back to college in September so I'm planning on going for a week or so to the beach to enjoy the last few weeks before it's all fall/winter and heavy college work.
