Copy Cat Friday #4

(^this was the best of many failed attempts :P)

For this month's CopyCat Friday series, I thought I'd attempt to copy this picture of Meredith!

Her blog was one of the first I ever read and one of the main reasons I started blogging :) She does this awesome 'Picture of the Week' series and a while back she posted three photos of her day in stages and I just loved the second picture! Ever since, I have been set on finding something in that colour combination and this was the closest I could get. Ok, so my jeans aren't brown, more of a terracotta red, but you get the idea :P I was going to attempt to put on lipstick as well but a) I am awful at it so I would have looked like the joker and b) I don't have a coordinating colour like Meredith!

And just a heads up to let you guys know that today was the last day of college and I am so pumped for the holidays! Hopefully I'll be able to post more frequently :D

See ya,

Say :)

Copy Cat Friday #1

 {via}

So today I'm taking part in Sarah's copycat challenge for the first time and who better to copy than the amazing and beautiful Sydney from The Daybook! So here is my interpretation of this outfit I found when I went through her archives the other day :)

I had to go blue instead of black, as I have both a blue stripy jumper and blazer :P And I'm sorry that I wore my jumper again, it's just that my amazing and beautiful boyfriend bought it (I'm doing a clothes fast and therefore can't buy clothes!) and I love it!

Seeing as I copied Sydney and I missed out on awkward and awesome Thursday, I thought I'd kinda make it  awkward and awesome Friday instead :P

Awkward:
-Getting a D on my law exam mock when I had my notes in front of me and no time constraint
-Agreeing to babysit for someone when they text me but not recognising the number and therefore not knowing who I was babysitting for
-Reaching the house I was babysitting for (I found out who it was eventually!) and not being able to find the house as I haven't been there for a while, it was dark and they had their driveway redone

Awesome:
-Finding out that there is an Outfit just down the road and that I can use my previously-thought-to-be-useless gift card from Christmas there (I can use gift cards to buy clothes as it is as if someone is buying them for me- see how I got round that? Smooth)
-Finally getting my bike lights put on so I don't risk dying on the way home from college (Cheers Oliver's mum!)
-Wagon wheels. I had forgotten how amazing you are. (And bad for me, but we can forget that)

That's all folks,

Say :)

Last Friday Night :)

So, today it was my friend Trudy's house party. Now, I don't normally go to house parties, or indeed parties of any kind because I don't really drink and I am kind of antisocial. But I made an exception for this one. I was gutted that Oliver couldn't come because I actually had to speak with other people, but it was really good in the end. I enjoyed speaking to the few people I spoke to, and never felt awkward or out of place, despite remaining completely sober all night. I brought Oliver's 550D to the party to take some pictures for this blog- and it was a good conversation starter!- but it meant that I couldn't get as good pictures because everyone kind of knew I was taking pictures and most people posed or pulled a face for them! But here they are, badly manually focused with low light levels. Enjoy!

This one is of me and Trudy, taken by a photography student I so happened to be talking to at the time :) She did a pretty good job, seeing as she told me she couldn't use manual focus!

So they are the 'nice' if slightly out of focus ones. Then you have the drunken dancing shots.

My favourite shot is this one, though, by far:

I took it from upstairs in her ginormous house, a converted old people's home and I love it. It was such a good party, thanks Trudy!

See ya,

Say :)

Ps. If anyone of these pictures are of you and you don't wish them to be on my blog or the internet or whatever, just comment and I'll take it off for you :)
