Clothing Crisis

Ok, crisis is a bit of an exaggeration but I can't decide what to wear to my Staffordshire uni interview tomorrow (if the interviewer is reading this then I'm a good student, promise). On the letter the dress code says smart and smart is something that I'm not very good at. I've  struggled to put an interview look together and I'm still uncertain so any feedback would be useful! Would you about able to comment outfit 1 or 2 to help me decide? If not tweet me a number at @evehewitt. Obviously I wouldn't wear the starry leggings (which are great) to the interview, I'm just lazy. Please note the props in outfit two.

Keep Calm and Drink Tea

Yes, I did see the title of this blog post printed on a mug and I did steal it. I've been rather busy this week and I have an interview on Friday (wish me luck!) so I'm going to keep this short and sweet so I can return to my student finances. It's one of those times when you're all stressed out and you want a relaxing bath but it will take up too much time so you have to have a quick shower and return to your books which isn't satisfactory at all. I apologize if I am not making any sense. This is how I have been trying to stay sane over the past few days:

Drinking gallons of tea - I usually have around 4 mugs a day but during times of stress or when I have days at home this tends to excel to around 8 cups of tea per 24 hours. Milk and 1 sugar every time.

 My best friend - what a beautiful face! We see each other almost everyday and are often found drinking milkshake, watching Family Guy or eating. Jasmine has to endure all my complaints and stress and I would be useless without her.

My mantra - before my English exam my teacher said I should have a mantra to keep me calm in important situations, this was his suggestion and I have found it rather useful recently.

How do you keep calm? 

Glitter at Your Fingertips

This week is going to be very busy for me so I may get a little behind on blogging which makes me sad! I thought I'd do a quick post about my current nail varnish, it's Nails Inc. shade Sloane Gardens which sounds a lot fancier than blue and glittery. In the bottle it looks great but I was slightly disappointed when I tried it on, plus it peels off very easily. This is unusual for a Nails Inc. as they're usually really good. On the plus side, it dries ultra quick so I can touch it up before college and the sparkles look fab in certain lights. What do you think?

Sunday Nights are for Looking at Pretty Pictures

Monday morning is only a couple of hours away so the last hours of your weekend should be spent wisely, there's no use moping around and scrolling through Facebook, you may as well give your eyes a treat. I found Lukas Wierzbowski on Dazed Digital and I love his work, he uses everyday settings and beautiful models to create fun and gorgeous photographs. His blog is worth checking out, it's a charming collection of interesting sights he has seen, take a look here.

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

Saturday night is for painting the town red, Sunday morning is for wallpapering over the town with pain killers and untagging the pictures on Facebook that you don't remembering being taken. Sunday morning hangovers can be killer but a I'm here to provide you with a little remedy to soften the blow, I present to you: the ultimate breakfast toastie. Of course each toastie can be tailored to the hungover zombie's personal preference, but this is what I like to have in mine:

• seeded brown bread
• Flora (margerine)
• Marmite
• cheddar cheese
• Quorn bacon
• beans

You can either grill your hangover toastie in the oven or use a toastie machine/one of the best inventions of all time.
So, enjoy your Saturday night, knowing that you're able to defeat that pesky hangover in the morning with this simple and delicious recipe. Wrap up warm and stay safe!

Another Day, Another Jumper

Hey guys, happy Friday! Unfortunately I've not got any celebratory plans for the end of this hectic week so I'm having a nerdy Friday night in, blogging and drinking glasses of water (party animal, I know...). 

I've began to love taking photos of my jumper collection, so I thought I'd share my 'jumper of the day' or JOTD for short. This beauty was given to me by a friend of mine who got it online from a Japanese company on eBay. Sometimes I despise internet shopping but I find buying things from other countries by the click of a button great! The orange animal print is fun and kooky, I don't think you'll find anything similar on the British highstreet. I try to use plain backgrounds for photographs but I think my chaotic bedroom suits the playful print of the jumper, what do you think

I've had Django Django on repeat all week, I'm a sucker for indie music and this band have that delicious indie funk in every track. Have a listen to Default, it's full of unusual sounds and the video is just as creative as the song.

I'm always looking for new music, have you got any recommendations?

For the Love of Alpacas

The Company Magazine blogger issue certainly gave me some tips and ideas for improving my blog, the main message of the article was to be passionate about what you're writing and think of some original ideas. I think this post hits the nail of the head; I'm passionate about alpacas and I haven't seen another alpaca dedicated blog yet. 

I live in a rural village which is home to an alpaca farm and last summer they had an open day which it advertised itself as free fun for all ages; it did not disappoint. Jasmine and I spent an afternoon in awe of one of the greatest animals on earth: the alpaca.

Dapper chaps

I love their hair

They had mini goats too!
