The Golden Snitch

Okay, so i realise it's not really a golden snitch, but when i first spotted this ring a few weeks back in Matalan i knew i had to have it! it sits perfectly on my middle finger and looks like a double (or maybe even triple) finger ring.




I also wanted to apologise (again!) for not posting more frequently. I have a deadline for my final ever project on Monday and i've been doing work non-stop. I have my summer ball on Saturday night and i'm just generally finishing up here in Cheltenham. 
I hope you're all well and ill try and post more in the next couple of days if i find time.

Bargain Buys.

Like most students (in the UK?) i got my loan through recently. I know it's not something people like to really talk about, especially with all the student protests and stuff thats been going on recently, but ive been in desperate need of some new clothes forever for ages. Yesterday, when i took a quick trip to town, i managed to pick up a few pairs of tights in primark and some odds and sods elsewhere. The local Matalan here isnt directly in the centre of town, but its not far out, so i thought id take a walk there to see if i could find anything nice. I managed to pick up a few  things, but when walking past the jewelery stands on my way to the tills to pay, i came across these 



I'm not normally a massive ring person, but recently i've found myself buying more than usual, and in styles that originally i probably wouldn't have bought. The first one is a bird covered in little studs. The second one is a double finger ring that recently ive found myself loving. Ive got quite chubby fingers, so i need to find slightly bigger ringholes, but matalan always do theirs in different sizes which is always a bonus. Most of the jewelery i saw had been reduced by 70%! Both of these rings were originally £6, but with the markdown price (and student discount) i got them at £1.65 each! Baaaaaaaaaargain!

Affordable Alternative

The thing i would actually love:  
Mulberry Alexa



What can i actually afford?




Matalan Double Strap Satchel
£12.00

Not quite the same, but at a fraction of the price.
