Hey hey :)

Finally i am ready to make a post! hehe

Been busy these days, studying, studying and...erm.. studying? lol I am so much looking forward to complete studying in University and get a degree! This will hopefully happen in summer! yaaaay! :)

Every friday my friends and i go figureskating for the whole night! A nice tradition, isn't it? :P

It's always a night of laughter and joy :))  Since it rather cold on the ice rink i have decided to buy a warm vest, which you can see on the pic! I found it in a shop called "Romashka" (the name can be translated as "Camomile" in english :) ) Also bought a short green coat from Zara, since it is not very cold outside and i am tired of wearing my long winter overcoat...

Seen a nice swimming suit in a sport shop near my house. Couldn't help buying it! :) 

Here are all the pics... :)

Some days ago i had "nothing_to_do" mood and decided to get some pics in arabic style! haha

this is me, pretending to look like arabian woman! lol

Romance

By C.Elizabeth


I haven't done much around here lately but I simply feel that it should be something natural that I do when I want to and not when I feel I have to... Though, to be honest, I've been thinking of writing something for over a week at least. I took some pictures last week and all but we keep having problems with our laptops. Yes, both of them at once! Looks like we'll have to get new ones soon!

Last week, we bought some aromatherapy bath salts from the Dead Sea at Boots and I absolutely love it. It has some jasmine oil white roses petals in. The smell is lovely and relaxing and it gives such a romantic look! I really recommend it.

Here it is:






Today Andy and I went for a walk out to get some pictures printed among other things. Though, the weather here being what it is, rainy and nippy, I had to take the pictures inside. I can't wait to actually be able to go out and enjoy a nice warm day. If there's such a thing in England! Here's what I wore:



Bow from Accessorize, white t-shirt from New Look, yellow top is an old one my mom gave me, black skirt and white tights from Simons (Canada), yellow shoes from Targets (USA).

On our way back, Andy spotted a very nice jacket... and knowing I've been looking for one for what seems to be ages, he showed it to me. I really loved it right away so after trying it on, I bought it! Can't believe I finally found one I like. I can be so fussy! The cut is perfect. I'll take pictures of it later and post them on here.

On a rainy Wednesday evening

By C.Elizabeth


Good evening,

I simply don't like not to write on here for a long period of time... though this post won't include any new photos. I've been ill with a bad cold for about a week now and had some other little problems so I didn't really feel like being photographed. I suppose we all have times like this.

Lots of interesting happened to me though. The main thing is that I found a long lost friend from Canada on Facebook! It's just fantastic. We've been best friends for years when we were younger until we moved to different places and then lost touch. I've been thinking about her quite a few times during those lost years and I'm so happy that I finally have found her! Things have changed so much in our lives... but strangely, in a very similar way. She also moved to a foreign country and got married there. She now lives in Japan! So now I've got no excuse not to learn Japanese. I've been thinking about learning a third language perfectly (since my Spanish and Italian are quite rubbish now) and was think of either Chinese or Japanese. Well, I found my answer when I found my old friend! hehe I know it's going to be hard but I've always loved challenges! I actually need to have new things to learn to be happy. Anyway, we'll see how it goes!

Also, a couple of weeks ago I bought L'Oreal True Match Minerals foundation and I really love it. It gives me the coverage I want and it does last all day. It's the best foundation I've had so far... I prefer to the Elizabeth Arden one I had just before.

Right, enough blah blah now. I'll go watch "24"! hehe

A flat and a tag

By C.Elizabeth


I'm so tired these days that I barely spend any time on my laptop. It seems that all I do is getting up in the morning, going to work, coming back at night and go to bed! I think it will be better when the days start getting longer again. I'm sure most of you feel the same!

I've thought about writing a post about my flat for quite a while now and since I took some pictures of it over the weekend, I decided to finally do it.

I absolutely love our flat. The lighting is gorgeous because of the sky light and also because of the 2 Juliet balcony. It's also very big and in a lovely location. If only I could move this flat with us to Canada! hehe

Anyway, here are some pictures of our living room and dining room.




Natalia and I have also been tagged by Karina. It's actually the first time I do a tag so excuse me if I'm not doing it properly! Anyway, I'm supposed to post the fourth picture from the fourth folder on my laptop... Here it is, a picture of my sister and I taken in Canada in November 2008. It's quite funny 'cause this is also the picture I have as a profile picture on Facebook. =) As you can tell, I'm the fair skinned one... hint: I, at the moment, live in the UK!



I'm going to tag Daydream lily and R is for Rodellee.

Bits and bobs

By C.Elizabeth


I have no idea about how to begin this post. Maybe by saying I’m feeling a bit better concerning what happened in my family? I guess that would do.

After this very exhausting week, I was looking forward to having a quiet weekend. Wrong. We’ve been invited by Andy’s dad and stepmom to go to Ashton Market. I wasn’t impressed with it… Just a typical market, selling lots of useless things. Though, we saw there was an IKEA there as well, so of course, we went! We bought a new bookshelf since we really needed one. We were tired of seeing books all over the floor due to our other bookshelf being more than full. We also bought a new lamp for the living room. Oh, and candles. I always buy candles. I will take some pictures of the flat once we’ve sorted it all out tomorrow.

I forgot to bring the camera with me today (typical)… but Andy took some pictures of my outfit once we got back. It was dark and rainy outside so it had to be done indoors, even if it’s nowhere near as nice.

Better late than never

First of all, I need to apologize for once again taking so long to write here. Something tragic happened in my family last Friday, therefore I didn't have the chance and didn't really want to be on my laptop much. I don't feel like explaining what exactly happened because it's still not easy for me to talk about it... I'm sure you'll all understand.

I had some friends over on Friday night, something that was planned ages ago. They arrived right after I got the bad news on the phone from my mom... so it was nice to have something nice to do instead of thinking about it all. We watched movies and ate chocolate (bad... but so good!). I watched "Mamma Mia" with them and I really enjoyed it.

On Saturday, Andy's stepmom and I went shopping to a gorgeous shopping centre in Manchester. I didn't really feel like going due to the mood I was in but Andy told me I should go as it would do me good. I reluctanly went and he was right... I enjoyed myself. The shopping centre is fantastic and so different! It has its own China Town, New Orleans... I definitely will have to go again and take some pictures of it to post on here.

I, of course, bought some clothes. Though, I wasn't really impressed with the sales this year. I found a lot more stuff last year. Unless it's simply because I wasn't in the mood for it!

Anyway, I bought 2 lovely skirts, a gorgeous pair of tights, some bows for my hair and some makeup.

Black skirt from Top Shop

Tights from Dorothy Perkins

Blue & Red Polka Dots skirt from Top Shop at Selfridges

Since I'm writing a post, I also want to put a picture of the beautiful cardigan my lovely friend (and co-writer) Natalia sent me for Christmas. I absolutely love it! I didn't have a white one, so she got it right!
