001. Seriously how nice is the weather in the UK at the moment? Its so lovely to be able to sit outside and just chill with a glass of Pimms in the sun! Today I've been catching up on blogs as well as doing some university work. Actually had some good ideas for a project, I think being outside is inspiring! I also went shopping with my mother, who seems to be obsessed with buying clothes (where do I get it from?) since she lost all her weight on Weight Watchers!
002. I handed in my resignation to New Look on Saturday, I don't really want to leave if I'm being honest but I want to get university done with (only a month left! AAGHH!) and then travel over the summer before moving to a different city before the autumn. It just sort of made sense to leave now to focus on other things. I'm really bummed as I'll miss everyone I work with & totally miss the discount! I never did the Gap Yah thing before I went to uni, so thats why I want to go travelling now, Im thinking going around europe as I've not been to many places. However I'd love to go back to New Zealand/Australia again. Decisions!
003. Updated the shop with a lucky dip random mix of rings. Its £10 for 5 of them, there are a limited amount so if you want to bag a bargain lucky dip of rings be quick!

Yes, the weather has been great and it seems to continue through this coming week too. how nice.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with everything Lily, hope you have an epic year out xo
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that you've quit, I think my dream job would be at either New Look or Topshop. But, you gotta do what you gotta do!
ReplyDeleteIf you go traveling, would you go by yourself? Or with people? It would be amazing, but I'll miss your outfit posts!
Where do you want to move to?
I just ordered a few rings! can't wait to wear them!!! xxx S.

You look stunning in this photo :) Hopefully another 'door will open' to make up for having to hand in your notice, traveling sounds amazing x x
ReplyDeleteHi, I think the link to your shop is dodgy.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know.
You look stunning! Yeah the weather is awesome.

You look lovely; it's sad that you had to quit, but uni is definetly more important thank work, and on the brightside you have the holidays to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteI know right, the weather has made me all smiley!
ReplyDeleteYou have WONDERFUL hair! Greetings from Finland :p
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been so nice! Good luck with your travelling, i'd really like to do the same but i'm opting to start uni in September as it will save me money in the future now the tuition fees are going up.

I would love to take a gap year and travel around Europe, I think you should definitely do it!
ReplyDeletePretty!

far out lily could you get any more beautiful? seriously, be a model already. oh definitely travel, i never did gap years or anything then last year i went overseas for 3 months and now just wanna go everywhere! so good. and how good is jaymie and her pretty illustrations?
ReplyDeleteI always feel bad when I quit a job! I left Primark last week and felt bad but it was for the best.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your travelling! So jealous!
I wanna graduate so that i can take a break from school and just focus on what i really wanna do with y life.
ReplyDeleteAnd you always look very pretty in your pics!

Your sunday portraits get prettier every week! You look so gorgeous in this.
ReplyDeleteI handed in my notice at a place I'd been working at for three years a few weeks ago - it's such a weird feeling! Sounds like you're leaving at the right time though!
You should definitely come to New Zealand again - I would love the chance to meet you!
being outside is def. inspiring :) gotta love a good dose of vitamin d!
ReplyDeletedefinitely come back to australia haha! although you'd be arriving in winter which isnt very nice :/
That gap yah video is hilarious! Most people I met (actually on my gap year haha) when I was in the UK had never heard of a 'gap year' . It much be such a relief in a way to see that your heading in a new direction! Come to Australia!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're finishing school? Congrats, I've got still 3 semesters left... ;/
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo Lily! The UK weather is so nice right? Can't believe how nice it is, in April as well! Well done to your mum losing al her weight on weight watches, you must be so proud of her! Must be hard leaving somewhere you love working, but like you said, it'll give you a chance to explore and visit places as wel as focusing on finsihing uni! Hope you have a good week xxx
ReplyDeletelove!

Ahhh! I went to buy the mix of 5 rings this morning and they were sold out. I actually cant believe how quick they went :o
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! :)

Looking lovely as ever!
ReplyDeleteI'm travelling around parts of Asia in October and I can't wait.
Look forward to hearing your plans,

I vote Europe! it's right on your door step and there is SO much to see. I really want to go to Scandinavia.
ReplyDeletethe weather has been ridiculously nice here! I've been doing my college work out doors too. It feels like I'm not actually doing too much work if you get me cause i'm doing it in the sun and outside! Good luck with everything, Travelling sounds amazing! xox
ReplyDeletecome to australia! the gold coast is just a constant, massive party x
ReplyDeleteDecisions are so hard to make! I'm finishing school right now (it's actually my last week of school) and I cannot decide, whether I want to take a gap year, do some work and more important travel or if I want to start with university right away. Do you think it's a good idea to take a gap year, do you regret you hadn't taken one?
ReplyDeleteI'm so mad at you for making that ring sale while i'm still on a shopping ban *sobs and weaps* LOL. Would have loved 'em
ReplyDeleteSo sad making a break from Uni life right? Gosh I can't believe its almost over...and yer, I'm doing the Gap Yahh thing after too. Need a break from the books

I'm still dying over Gap Yah! So many people like that in my uni accommodation & 3 in my flat! Tragic.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous here!
Loving the vignette on the photo, what other processing did you do to it?
ReplyDeleteIts a shame about having to leave your job, hopefully they'll take you back after your travels?
Enjoy the sun whilst you can!

ReplyDelete& travelling around Europe sounds amazing - lots of stuff to see and do. I want to go to Hungary to see all of my Hungarian relatives at some point. If you pass through there you'll have to let me know if it's worth the visit :) x
ReplyDeleteYou always look stunning Lily!
ReplyDeleteExciting about your gap year. I'm from New Zealand and I'm not gonna lie it's pretty awesome... I have always wanted to travel round Europe, is a big dream of mine. So maybe we could just swap places? Deal?
