The night is falling, the night is calling...

"But I keep climbing and hoping things would change...
And the sky turns grey, and the water from the rain washes progress away. "
-Usher

What I'm Wearing:
Being completely broke, with hardly a pile of pennies for food, I took on the "charity-shop challenge": buying a complete outfit for less than five pounds. This is what I conjured up: a polka dot one-piece swimsuit & a granny skirt I hacked at with some scissors. All for 4.50...Bargain, right? I wore this ensemble to my most favourite nocturnal spot in Durham: Klute. In fact I love it so much that I was recently given a V.I.P card which means I never have to pay or queue to get in ever again! yay!

P.S: In case your wondering where my extra long hair came from,
I give you the answer of clip in extensions.

Currently in the process of moving house: my once-covered walls are completely striped bare and there are no longer necklaces and shoes filling every corner & every space. It is always nostalgic leaving a home behind: but I am excited for my final year as a student in a new, more comfortable residence.

FINALLY: Liz over at the addictive modcloth.com invited me to be their latest BLOGGER OF THE MOMENT: not only did they interview me, they also asked me to pick my favourite modcloth products and then, even sent a box of them to me! You can read my interview here & view my favourite modcloth products here.

Great combo of the polka dots with the flower print skirt! It's lovely, and you wouldn't have known it was less than 5 pounds if you hadn't told us. I love the hair extensions by the way.

Amazing idea! I'm definitely going to have to try that challenge myself! Rumaging through charity shops is one of my favourite things to do, I've got some amazing finds. xx p.s I've been using clip in hair extentions for a few years now...surely one of THE best inventions ever!
