Sunday Portrait #12

01. It's been a while, well 2 months to be honest and I really have no excuse apart from the fact I am lazy and not had any motivation nor luck with lighting this winter. However, I am starting fresh next week with a change of hair colour, quite a big move from being blonde since the "start" of this blog so it'll be a bit of an adjustment after being this weird blonde colour for around half a year but I need a change.

02. I'm heading of to New York next week so I shall be taking my camera everywhere and just getting continuous snaps which I'll be uploading to my flickr for you, I'll make a small selection of instagram images from my favourites to go on here the weekend I'm back hopefully. I hope to find some cute jazzy outfits to add to my inspiration and such like because the weather is so bitter right now it's resulted to me turning to plain normal and boring outfits, although I shall be scouring ebay/the streets for cute new tops to add to my wardrobe. 

03. I've now got a dog, well he was my Grandma's but we've had to take him in as she's no longer in any state to look after him and he's just depressed which is unfair. He's such a lovely little thing and I'll expect they'll be some pictures uploaded soon as he doesn't stop following me when he's wide awake.

Much Love

Merry Christmas my darlings! This is a day late but in honesty I am not sorry at all, I've been busy scoffing my face and relaxing with my family so I didn't find any time to post the photo. I've had a lovely day and got some lovely things from my family and hopefully will spoil myself later on. Well, I hope you've had a lovely couple of days wherever you are!

Merry Christmas

Much Love

Sunday Portrait #10

1. I'm back to my usual spot, this week the parents have been home so photographing myself hasn't been particularly top of my list as I barely get to see them in the evening after college so I spent a bit of time with them and my boyfriend having meals and such like. Also, I think this will continue to be my Sunday Portrait area, I have time in the mornings on Sunday to capture the right lighting which good.

2. I went to London with my sister Sunday to see Puss in Boots, which was amazing and bought this poster in the background (originally for my boyfriend) because it's rather wonderful. I like that it's not tied to any of the Doctor's either, so my love for Tennant isn't taken over my Smith.

3. I've have a hair cut, well "fringe cut", and it's so weird and different and I don't think I look a thing like me any more. I've wanted to get a full fringe for months now, but being the whimp I am never got the guts to do it until yesterday where I had no choice once I was in the chair. Overall, I love it. It's so much easier so far to look after, the only issue is I can't sweep all my hair back onto the top of my head now!

Sunday Portrait #9

1. Today has been amazing, yet extremely tiring -aren't Sunday's meant for relaxing? My sister got us tickets to go see a preview of Puss in Boots, which may I say is brilliant and I recommend you go see it if you like the Shrek movies and such like! We had breakfast in this little French Cafe by the station, we both had ham and cheese croissant (I cannot remember the name for the life of me) and spent the day wandering around London really.

2. I had "proper" Boba Tea today for the first time in two years, and both me and my sister were so close to crying because nothing compares to Milky tea, we made our way to Covent Garden to have a mosey about, before seeing the film and having Wagamama's for dinner. It's been a good day overall, I bought presents, sweeties, and had milky tea which is the highlight of my year.

Much Love

Sunday Portrait #8

I haven't much to say this week as it's been pretty rough for me and I've not felt up for blogging or socialising so I'm deeply sorry, but next week I'm hoping to return to normal blogging and keeping up to date!

Sunday Portrait #7

1. It's safe to say this image is horrendous, and I'm not sure if it could possibly get any worse. I spent the night out at Jennie's and basically had 7 hours sleep which isn't meant to happen on a weekend, I'm meant to lay in till forever, I haven't had a chance to get a photo of me where the lighting is actually good enough, and my hair is looking particularly odd currently, but I've grown to like it over the past 24 hours.

2. I've dyed my hair, it was meant to go all over lilac but has toned part of my hair and actually dyed other parts, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it now. I've given up with it and how judgemental my mother is over it, so it's going to just fade to a nice light grey colour...

3. I'm so tired, and I haven't much to say apart from I hope you've had a lovely weekend and Christmas is 40 or 39 days away now, however exciting!

Much Love

Sunday Portrait #7

1. First Sunday of the month aye, soon enough it'll be first Sunday of December then Sunday of Christmas. However exciting! Also the first Sunday post of my second half of being at college, Christ that sounds terrifying! It's gone oh so very quick and I'm not sure how I feel about this. Everything should be on track currently which is good, things are moving so fast I'm not sure if I like it.

2. Last night was Bonfire Night as many people from the UK will know, it can be an amazing thing and some people go completely all out on fireworks and making the event and night extremely special. I went to my mum's friend's house for the fireworks and then afterwards my neighbours to see their finale and it was all so beautiful and lovely. I'll have a set of the photos up some time this week once I sort through them.

3. I've spent today working on a present for my boyfriend that was meant to be done a month or so ago, ops. But that's what today has been filled with, but tomorrow I'm hoping to go into town and purchase some material to make yet another skirt. Winter isn't the best season for them but by god I love them!

Much Love

PS. I apologise for the bad picture, my camera was severely misbehaving last night! 

Sunday Portrait #6

1. Hello my darlings, it is coming to the end of the month now which means Halloween, Bonfire Night (if you're English) and then Christmas so I'm extremely excited for that! I've also been away on half term, which I have attempted to keep up with my blog posts but Friday I did fall behind due to the fact I have been out and about this week. I've only used my camera one this week which is a shame, I need to start using it much more often in future! I'm finally getting a tripod, my boyfriend doesn't use his so he said I could have it, so this means I'll be able to stand in my garden like a tool and take photos of me looking like a tool! However this is good as I'll be able to get some photos where I'm not squeezed between my window and bed and therefore actually get a full outfit in rather than just my face and shoulders.

2. So here is my half term rounded up in a few sentences; Monday I spent all day in bed until late evening where I went to Jennie's to have a girls night where we ate pizza, curry and played Just Dance where me and Shannan got down to Shakira/Beyonce Beautiful Liar; Tuesday I left from Jennie's and arrived at Joe's where I played Dead Island and I'm pretty sure we watched a film I just can't remember which one; Wednesday me and my mother went for a walk along the beach with Rusty where it then poured down with rain and we had a 15 minute walk where we was soaked to our pants, that evening Lucy did my roots up; Thursday I went out for lunch with my mum and her friend Julia to look after her small children which was eventful; Friday I went to Joe's and we watched the Toy Stories and my Dead Island game was wiped; Saturday I spent in bed reading Bird Song; 

3. Which only leaves today, it's the Sunday before going back to college, so I think every other student agrees this is when we're going to complete all the work we've put off until last minute. This also means I'm going to have to stop at Jennie's at one point to collect the sheets I needed from English Lang on our Character Profile, ops. But anyway, I'm at 40 followers now, which is pretty amazing in my humble opinion considering I've only been using this since September (properly) and I'm just going to thank EVERYONE, you're all amazing! Also note how I have a facebook page, I know it seems cheeky to ask but if you could like it I'd greatly appreciate it, but even so I'm still happy!

How has your week or half term been?

Much Love

Lauren Michelle 

Note how I've been on two holidays to the Med this year and I'm still so pale

Sunday Portrait #5

1. I've been gone for now 2 weeks, I think that's correct and although I should have many reasons to why this has been happening I can't even pretend to say that I do. I guess my main reason is the stress I am feeling from college, I have so much work to do and I'm constantly putting in a lot of effort to try and do my best. So I guess that's a reason why I haven't been posting, and also another reason is I've got a lot of family stress currently going on with my Grandmother so I'm having to work my way round that. 

2. I've also been attempting to make a few items, in preparation for a possibly give away for Christmas. However I'm unsure of what I want to pass on to my followers, possibly a few items I'll make/DIY. Either way, I've made two rather lovely looking skirts and I'm trying to plan how to make a pair of leggings from velvet. Once I get round to doing it I'll take some photos and show you wonderful lot how to make them. 

3. I am now on half term, and so far have only 2 events planned out. One being a girlie night with some college people, and the second meeting up with my mother and her friend for lunch and to see her gorgeous little bubbas. But hopefully this will result in some serious posting throughout the week, I've already got two posts for this week planned out and some little surprises if I manage to get round to doing them. 

4. Tuesday is my granddad's (Nibbs) birthday, so he and my nan are over for dinner tonight which will be nice because I haven't spent time with them in a while due to them always jetting off somewhere! Don't know how they can keep doing it at all, madness I say. I'm so excited for a roast dinner, they're my second favourite thing about winter (along side with stews). Cannot believe how soon Christmas is at all, crazy crazy stuff! I've still got nothing planned for Halloween though, maybe I'll persuade Jennie into watching scary films with me.

What have you all got planned for Halloween then? 

Much Love

[Late] Sunday Portrait #4

1. Okay, I've not blogged in a good week now and for those who enjoy my blog I do apologise as I've been rather stressed/busy with college, boyfriend, and relaxing however I am trying to get a more organised schedule down and I even have a cute little diary to show this -nothing has been written down obviously but once ideas start flowing they'll be down! 

2. I did promise to start my 30 day challenge but had an issue as the entire weekend I was away at London at this convention meeting the one and only David Tennant, it was an amazing day even if I had to wake up at 5 in the morning to get ready and to the event place for half 6 to queue. My sister called me up on Saturday saying if I caught an earlier train I could come get Arthur Darvill's autograph if I wanted so I caught at train at half 2 all in the name of Doctor Who. I'm a massive geek deep down, I can't even pretend I'm not. 

3. At the event I managed to meet Evanna Lynch, Paul McGann, Arthur Darvill, the man who plays Winston Churchill in Doctor Who, Georgia Moffett and obviously David Tennant. David Tennant was lovely as well, when I went to get his autograph I told him how I watched all the Doctor Who episodes of his instead of revising (ops, not the best option) and he asked if I did well (which in all modesty, I did really well) and advised it to all and then continued to ask about what I'm doing at college and where I want to take that. No one can understand how much I nearly cried after all this because he had finished signing both mine and my sisters autograph by the time he got to asking about my GCSE's. Life is perfect.

How was all of your weekends? What have you done?

Much Love

Sunday Portrait #3

1. In a week it's apparent my hair has faded considerably less which has resulted in a less ginger me and a more blonde me, I'm also planning on getting my fringe cut not this week but the week after and putting lilac on it if the stand test goes well! But I'm thinking of getting a full/side fringe cut in because in the winter this hair is just uncontrollable really, I bet I'll pussy out as per usual if I can manage to make my hair beautiful like this every day. 

2. Mutti and I made brownies today, they didn't go all as well as we'd hoped but they are still perfect. Also went out to walk my grandma's dog but I came up a bit later and he saw me a good 5 or 7 metres down the road and ran at lightening speed towards me, oh he's such a little cutie. I'm now just relaxing on my bed watching x factor and wishing my boyfriend would talk to me.

3. Last week was the 3.5 year anniversary since my boyfriend and I got together, and the little cutie bought me 50 red roses and 3 teddy bears to go with the other 3 he'd previously bought me. I'm such a special girl, no lie. 

Hope you have all had a good weekend, I most defiantly did.

Sunday Portrait #2

Second week and I've not given up hope on this set, however I have given up hope with my looks! I don't usually do my hair like this -that's a lie as I never do my hair like this- but I was out walking my Grandma's Rusty when the heavens opened, I only have a short five minute walk back but it managed to soak through my jeans and send my eye liner down my face whilst my hair dripped! The final result turned out to be this, I'm not hating it, but I'm not a fan either. 

As much as winter and autumn are my favourite seasons the side dish of rain isn't what I love. But wrapping up warm with huge layers, finding the right winter coat and boots so you can snuggle up warm on walks. Oh, every thing about it is just so appealing! Here's a little peak at my cuddly clothes, leggings and a jumper is the best thing to wrap up in! 

What's the best thing about winter for you?
