1. Playing with my Cockapoo puppy Archie.
2. Shopping. Any kind! Clothing...home-wares....food....i love all shopping.
3. Watching movies, especially scary ones.
4. Spending time with my fella, going on adventures or just lying about on the sofa watching telly and eating pizza and popcorn.
5. Getting all dolled up together and going out with my friends. Almost all of mine and my boyfriends friends are mutual, so this works well!
6. Illustration. I love to use inks and watercolours.
7. Reading. I'm very picky about what i read though. I have to be absolutely captivated by it, i can't read things just for the sake of it. I love writing too.
8. Traveling and exploring new places. One of my most memorable experiences was taking a tour of the River Styx. We walked and then waded through some parts, swam across (and under) deeper parts, climbed up rock faces and explored caves. Magical.
9. Styling. I love the buzz of the preparation for a shoot, creating a story and characters.
10. Spending time with my mum and dad! It sounds so cheesy, but i couldn't be more grateful and thankful for such wonderful parents.
Today I Did... (Well...yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday and therefore a lot more exciting!)
1. Opened my presents (Some lovely perfume, a beautiful necklace from Charlie and an Alexander McQueen 'Faithful' black leather Demanta clutch) and then went for a coffee with my parents before they headed back to the Midlands.
2. Dragged Charlie around Topshop and bought some beautiful (but painful) Carvela shoes in the sale. They look like they are made of mermaid scales.
5. Ate lunch at an amazing 50's American style diner in Carnaby Street. We've been there twice now, and i love the atmosphere of the place, and the rockabilly music. The food is brilliant and the staff are really friendly. I had a bowl of chilli with sour cream and cheese, and a cherry cola. Charlie had some chilli fries and some mac 'n' cheese accompanied by a Dr Pepper!
6. Caught the train back to Southampton, and met our friends in a bar for a quick bite to eat and some cocktails. My friends bought me a lovely bottle of pink champagne and a chocolate cake, which we all tucked into!
9. We all moved on to Orange Rooms, where we were just in time for 'Burlesque Rocks', which was amazing! We cracked open the champers and drank some more cocktails. Suddenly i was invited up on stage only for the host to sing Happy Birthday to me a la Marilyn Munroe, and give me a bottle of Sailor Jerry's! All in all a fantastic night.
