Birthday Wishlist 2016

It's coming up to my 23rd birthday in a few weeks, 26th of November to be exact. Just in case you want to make a note for your diary... I have some mixed feelings about it. It seems only yesterday that I was even leaving my teens behind, to be now heading directly into my 20s is a little crazy to me... I sometimes panic that I'm not going to have enough time to do everything I want to do! Even when I tell coworkers or people of an "older generation" that I'm getting old, they just laugh at me & say I've got my whole life ahead of me. I don't think it helps when my baby face is staring at them, talking about ageing. So I have to try and remind myself what I have seen and done so far, as well as realising people are living right up to their 90s nowadays. Not that I think I should ignore the fact that time is passing by significantly quicker than it used too... But It does make me more determined to conquer the world, to see & hear as much of it as possible. Because there is still so much more to be done!

So since it is coming up to my birthday, I thought it would be pretty cool to share what I'm currently eyeing up. As well as giving some hints to my nearest & dearest... I'm not expecting to receive everything here, some of these things I'm hoping to maybe catch in the Black Friday sale. It's actually fallen on the weekend of my birthday this year. I went crazy last black Friday, but I'm not planning to this year. If anything from this list has money off during black friday and I haven't gotten it as a present, then yes I will probably buy it myself to say Happy Birthday. I'm not embarrassed to treat myself just because I'm getting older, any excuse to get a little treat. This year I'm more interested in the boxing day sales. Just because there isn't anything I'm overly desperate to get, but it will be great to see what deals there are after Christmas. So if I get any money, I think I'm just going to save it this year.

Who knows, since it is coming up to that time of year. Maybe you'll take inspiration from this yourselves. Maybe you'll see something for a family member, or a close friend. Or maybe you'll even see something you would like for yourself! Let me know what you think in the comments below. I would love to hear what you're asking for this year. For your birthday or Christmas!

What To Choose For Work?

Hiya guys, sorry I've not posted in awhile! I had a week or so there where I was just crashing after work & napping... I'm sorry. I got stuck in a bit of a rut, so it's made me realise I need to look at my blog planning more and schedule as many posts where I can so I don't get stuck in a rut! Unfortunately, I'm one of those people that if I miss a target or goal I can loose a bit of motivation and become mad at myself. I'm trying to learn to let that go. So this week I'm going to keep to my aim for at least 2 posts a week and schedule posts for the upcoming weeks while I have the motivation to work on my blog! I feel it's really important, more so personally for myself, to keep to a routine though. Sticking to my blog schedule (find here).

I'm determined to not let it get me down if I do miss a post, as we are only human and it is ok! Or at least thats what im trying to get into my head... Plus, this time around, I really don't want to put up haphazard posts that I'm not entirely happy with. This year I really want to work on giving you the best quality I can. If I'm not 100% happy with something, I don't want to just post it because I "have" to keep to a schedule. As ill just be more upset with myself that I let the standard slip!

Anyways, now that I've explained all that onto my post! So on saturday at work, my manager pulled me over and said I had been selected for more uniform, but specifically more tailored looks. Of course I was honored and jumped at the chance! It's my life & enjoyment to put looks together, so to then have the opportunity to have that cross over into work is brilliant. Plus, anything to get the creative juices flowing! She said they were looking for more quirky looking outfits, to help customers feel my confident at wearing different styles or get more ideas from what we wearing.

I thought this would be a great post to do for lifestyle as it's to do with my work and working is pretty much a part of everyone's life! Hence why I'm not doing this post on thursday where the topic is fashion! Anyways, I hope you like my picks and maybe get some inspiration.

I also just want to point out this is NOT SPONSORED! I do actually work at Next and as I pointed out earlier, I really do feel this is a lifestyle post as it is my real life and I'm sure workwear is important for a lot of you! I was just so excited to be selected that I wanted to share that & my ideas with you. I love Next as a shop and I have done since I was about 14/15, so I love that I get a uniform allowance, plus I just walk around all day window shopping! As well as actually working of course...
