So, I have to write a book review for Styleclone.com on the new Audrey Hepburn: International Cover Girl book.



I got it free from the website last week and as it's about £25 in the shops, I'm pretty happy. Audrey Hepburn is an absolute style icon but I've never reviewed a book before. I will post it here when I'm done with it.

Well..

You know theres always that one band that you just HAVE to see live, and although they aren't actually my favourite band, I had to see Green Day live. I've been a fan for years and years now and I've gone through stages of listening to them furiously and then not listening to them for ages.

I really wanted to see them live when they came to the UK last time, which was quite a few years ago now so I was mega happy that I got tickets to their 2009 UK tour and I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was for me to get tickets, I literally bought mine a minute before they were meant to go on sale, which was weird?!

Anyway, the show was amazing, intense, brilliant, inspiring and every great describing word you can imagine. For a band that are the same age as I am, they are extremely impressive live, they know how to hold the audience in the palms of their hands and they just love to lap up all the attention from the crowd. It was an awesome awesome awesome gig, one of the best I've been to. I loved every moment of it, especially the encore of Wake Me Up When September Ends and Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) which was played on acoustic guitar, with a spotlight and 16,000 singing all at the same time, which is the best sound ever.

I am just hoping they bring out a DVD of their current tour so I can relive it all again, haha. The only down side was that we had to leave early this morning because I had a presentation to do. I wanted to go into the city centre and do a bit of shopping, but maybe it was lucky that we didn't because I really can't afford it at the moment!

Tomorrow will be a day of work I think, have to pop to the library to take a book back because some damn person has requested it and I haven't even looked at it yet! But other than that, I'm going to try and get my Ugly Betty feature finished as well as trying to write a review of last nights show.

On with the pictures!

Wow, I can't even remember what I've been up to since my last blog to be honest. I keep meaning to update here but I have so much work to be doing at the moment that I keep putting it off but right now I have a bit of spare time.

I think it's easy to overload yourself with work in the third year, theres no need to stress and panic, we don't need to be doing work 24/7, we need to have a life aswell. As long as it all gets done in the end, who cares that I'm currently sat in my room doing NOTHING? Not me.


So, since my last blog I went home for the weekend after my birthday and went for the best meal ever with my parents and Vince, it was a REALLY posh restaraunt in town that always seems to be empty - and now I know why after looking at the pricelist! Anyway it was such a nice meal and dad bought us champagne =] I got a lovely cushion and a digital photo frame from my mum and dad. My sister bought me a purple bag which I love and I got a very posh bracelet from my Nan and Grandad, a bracelet and a new jewlery box from my Nan and earrings from my Auntie. =] It was good to go home. I think I need another visit soon, I get this all the time. I'll be at uni for a couple of weeks and then suddenly I start to really want to go home and just be carefree and go shopping or make cakes with my sister, see my dog and my cat and just generally have a nice time being at home.

I'll be going home this Wednesday but I'm only going to be there for about an hour or so. Vince and I are driving down so I can pick up the Green Day tickets and he can pick up his contact lens solution and then we're meeting Kayleigh and driving to Birmingham for the Green Day gig. If I didn't have my presentation this Thursday I would have gone back home after the gig for the weekend but this presentation has totally messed everything up and it's also not going great either. Have I ever told you how much I hate presentations?! Yeh, well I really do.

I'm so excited to go and see Green Day, we have standing tickets so I'm bracing myself for getting battered and pushed around a whole lot. I haven't been to a gig for a band I love in SO long, I'm so excited. :)


Today I had a bit of a spring clean which consisted of me hoovering, washing and changing the bedding but now my room smells all fresh and lovely and I read somewhere that a clear workspace helps you concentrate better, not that mine is clear, it's just organised mess.

I can't be bothered to bore myself and you with talking about Uni work so I shall talk about clothes instead. Thanks to the lovely Vince, I had a TopShop giftcard loaded with £100 and I've been spending and spending and now only have £41 left, oops. I just love shopping, which is quite dangerous for a student, but the thing is I can only shop by myself or with one other person. It's strange.
