I didn't intend to be, but this morning I was glued to the TV to watch the royal wedding! It's been fairly hectic in St Andrews this week as there have been so many organised events to celebrate today, but up until today I think I'd managed to miss most of it!
I was blown over by the wedding dress, Sarah Burton has worked some incredible McQueen magic! I thought the mother of the bride also looked lovely, very simple and elegant. It was lovely to see how genuinely happy couple were today, it made me smile :)
.....more importantly, how fantastic is the cake?!? It could probably feed Britain for a week!
Have a lovely weekend everyone :)

Having a ball
I feel I have completely neglected my blog once again! Surprisingly enough, there was no Internet connection on the diving trip (which was very convenient for getting out of studying), but I had such a good time didn't really notice.
With the end of term approaching far too quickly for my liking, I have been flapping around trying to get coursework handed in on time (which I've managed, but I won't even comment on the quality of it!).
However, the Easter weekend provided some light relief, as I attended the Aqua Ball which is a dinner and dance for all the water sport societies at St Andrews. I thought I would show you all the dress I was wearing, although I didn't set out to do an "outfit post", so I've just thrown together a series of photos that show it as best as possible!
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter Sunday also! I've been eating chocolate constantly for the past 2 days now as I figured it would be better just to get it all out the way (great thinking yes?!), but I've eaten so much now I think I may have put myself off it.
We went to my aunty's house (in the picture) and had tea, cake and sandwiches all of which was preluded by champagne (after a ball the night before, I had the smallest amount!). All in all, it was a lovely day!

It's okay eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings
I'm back off under the sea for a whole week :) (obviously coming up to surface now and again!). I think I'm excited, but I have quite a lot of uni work to do at the same time which is quite annoying!
I'm not sure whether there will be any Internet connection in the place we are staying, so this may be goodbye for the week!

I'm hoping the weather stays nice (unlike the last picture!) but I guess if it does rain, it's not so bad because I'm already wet! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend :) xx

"Always great taste"
Living up to their slogan, Diet Coke really does have great taste! I should warn you now, I may be slightly addicted to the stuff and am therefore completely biased but that's besides my point...
Coca Cola have teamed up with several designers in the past including Roberto Cavalli, Matthew Williamson and Karl Lagerfeld. And the BEST news is, Mr Lagerfeld has done a second lot of designs for diet coke!
These bottles wont be out till June apparently, but I think it's worth the wait!
I fear that if I do buy these, I'll never want to drink them because they look so pretty! (can Diet Coke even go off?!?).
I'm also pretty caught up in the Asos/Diet Coke offer where every can of Diet Coke gives you at least £5 off (for every £20) clothing at Asos. What's not to love?
Being a biologist I felt the need to poke around the medical research and see how bad Diet Coke is for me.....I found quite a lot....then forgot it! Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Well, until they stop having amazing offers and pretty bottles anyway.

You made me forget myself
So it's 1pm on a Sunday and I'm still in bed! I don't think I've ever stayed in bed this long and actually feel kind of guilty (is that normal?!?). My friend's party last night was a lot of fun, but I think one cocktail too many was had! I don't actually feel too bad, I think I'm just confused with the clocks going forward.
I think today is definitely a stay at home day, I've put the kettle on for some Earl Grey and have a punnet of strawberries waiting to be eaten :) Lazy days are such a wonderful thing!
Tomorrow my mother and I are having a spa day which is very exciting :) I've signed up for a "Devil's delight" massage which sounds heavenly, so I really can't wait!!!
I have some photos of my outfit on Friday (I think: I'm fairly muddled with the days this week) which I thought I'd post. This week has felt tropical in comparison to the last few months and not wearing a big, heavy coat has been lovely :)

I'm not sure if you can see it on these photos (in my last post you can), but I have found the coolest colour of nail polish ever! It was from Topshop and as soon as I saw it I think I squealed a little! It's definitely been brightening up my weekend :)

When you're feeling beautiful, will you remember me?
It's finally the weekend!!!!!! I'm absolutely ecstatic :)
This week I've had such a hectic week, mainly due to deadlines for Friday (yesterday). I've now breathed a huge sigh of relief and am looking forward to two weeks off university :)
Last night I was at my friend Tanya's 21st birthday party which was a lovely evening :) Tonight I have another friend's 21st which is starting worryingly early haha! It's been a very nice, but hectic start to my holiday.
I thought I'd put up some photos of outfits I'd worn over the past couple of days and at long last, I've finally got round to taking a photo of my tattoo to show you all :)

The race to the finish line.
It's Easter Break next week! This fact should really fill me with joy, but instead it causes mass panic. I have a lot of deadlines etc. to finish for uni this week and working seems to have consumed me (and looks set to until Friday!). I can't believe how quickly this term seems to have gone so far! The big bad world is now in sight and seems to be approaching much too quickly for my liking!
I'll try and make a post later on in the week, mainly for some light relief, but I've also bought some nice things which I've been meaning to show you all :) I hope everyone else is having a slightly more relaxed week!
