Instagram round up January 2015

I'm fully back into the swing of uni life, and have officially handed my dissertation in! January's treated me pretty well, so I'm looking forward to what the rest of the year will bring.

1. My friend Bee's first time making a coffee at the union cafe, 2. I bought a black turtleneck and drank red wine and judged you really hard for your choices like a true wine mum, 3. New Years' Eve selfie, 4. Handing in my dissertation and on my way to the pub, 5. Trying on my new lipstick - L'Oreal True Reds Blake Lively edition, 6. First Aid Kit playing at UEA LCR - they were so good!

OOTD: I'm a turtleneck girl now

I woke up this morning feeling well rested and happy, so naturally I look like the grumpiest person ever in these photos.

I'm not sure what it was. Maybe sleep just gives me serious attitude, who knows.

Top - New Look, Skirt - Primark, Shoes - Dorothy Perkins

Anyway, I bought this top a few weeks ago after following Jenny Slate on Instagram (Mona Lisa Saperstien, for any Parks and Recreation fans out there). Anyway, she rocks a turtleneck like no other so I immediately bought three. I really liked the checked/dogtooth combination print on this one, and it looks great with a simple black skirt. 

The skirt's a little big for me, but I was going out for lunch and knew I'd end up stuffing myself, so I wanted a little room.

The lipstick is new, a L'Oreal colour riche one. It's part of the 'exclusive reds' collection done with a handful of celebrities. I grabbed the Blake Lively one because I've been watching a load of Gossip Girl since I finished my dissertation, plus it was probably the one that suited me most. The formula's great, It doesn't feel drying but I didn't actually have to top up after eating. 

Speaking of eating, I went to Frank's Bar, a really lovely cafe/bar in Norwich. I spent ages deciding what I wanted, but ended up picking the spinach pancake, which was actually both vegan and gluten free! 

I also grabbed a slice of chocolate and guinness cake, which was so amazing that I forgot to photograph it in my eagerness. I went to go and pick a cake and the waiter just ran up and said 'that one.' He chose right!

My friend Emily went for the Quinoa Porridge, and as you can tell from the second photo she loved it.

And Vicki had a beef brisket ciabatta with mustard mayo. It sounded incredible! You can follow her blog (and admire that amazing jumper) here.

It's been quite a packed few weeks since I handed my dissertation in, but I have lots of plans for this blog coming up. I might even try my hand at making a Youtube video, so watch this space!
