My four-month long holiday from university began last Wednesday (5:30pm, to be exact) and so far my time has been filled with grocery shopping, a novelty I had not experienced in some time (seriously—and I missed it); seeing family; a Guy Fawkes BBQ on Saturday; spending time with my new boyfriend (yup, he’s pretty great, so I should probably tell my mother about him); cleaning; and shopping. Next up is finding a job and organising Christmas presents, as well as numerous summery adventures I have planned.

In other news, I am beginning to throw around some ideas for a new site design, and expect another instalment of the 5000 Question Survey and a post about the Books & Bubbles evening with Paullina Simons that I went to!

I shall leave you with a few photos of my most recent purchases:

Dress from Peachy Keen Vintage. The shop only got this in on the day I went and the owner was going to take it home for his wife. Alas, I snapped it up first! All I need is a petticoat to poof the skirt out a bit.

I want one of every colour they have, please.

Stockings and garter belt from Farmers; faux pearl earrings from Cotton on.
