Let the REAL holiday begin :)

Packing. Definitely not one of my favourite things to be doing when it's a beautiful 30 degrees outside, without a single cloud in sight :)But, it has to be done if I want to spend 8 weeks in SA with clothes. LOL.

Im looking forward to this trip home (to South Africa) as I haven't seen my 6 year old brother since December! Seeing friends and family is going to be great.

I hate packing because no matter how hard I try to remember to pack everything I need to, there's always SOMETHING I forget.

Im not sure when I'll be able to blog next, not that there isn't internet, but because i'll be too busy having an amazing time :)

Inspiration

"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

♡ Forever, I Do ♡

Aren't those the words every little girl dreams of hearing one day? And don't forget the big, magical princess wedding that only you can perfectly envision every detail of?

How about the gorgeous hunk of a man you have fallen completely in love with, about to become your husband? Yes Please :)

On 1st May 2010 my cousin Nick married the girl of his dreams, Rebecca. I wasn't able to attend the wedding as it was in the beautiful Kwazulu Natal Midlands in South Africa, 6000 miles away from London.

A breathtakingly stunning blushing bride.

They had an AMAZING photographer, Drew Mc Gibbon from Cellar Weddings, that captured every moment perfectly.

"I promise to love you forever"

Although I couldn't be there, these photographs have truly captured the joy, happiness and love on the day :)

A girls best friend

Seeming as its the holidays, what more could a girl want than to spend some time shopping? I ADORE Summer. Sigh.

Harem trousers are everywhere, and one of my favourite trends at the moment. They are simple and comfortable and can be easily dressed up with a pair of heels, accessories and a jacket.

These are amazing and just perfect.

Eva Mendez is the face of Calvin Klein Jeans 2010, and looks amazing in the add campaign!

If only we all had a body like that. Sigh.

British Pride

So I know I haven't blogged for a week, but what a busy week i've had! Studying is DEFINITELY not one of my strong points, and is exactly what I have been doing. Can you believe that there is a Citizenship test in the UK? CRAZY I TELL YOU! Luckily, the studying has paid off, because I am now one step closer to becoming British :)

On top of having to study a book on "Life In The UK", yesterday I wrote a 3 and a half hour Aptitude and Careers test. Not knowing 100% what I actually want to study anymore and do with my life is getting really irritating. Hopefully the results will help me make some decisions :)
