11 things about me!

1. I live in Oxford and contrary to popular belief it ain't all that posh.
2. I work in one of my local pubs with friendliest and most fun people ever.
3. I have 5 pets. A cocker spaniel called Roxy, a rabbit called Benji, 2 Birman cats called Dallas and Duchess and a horse called Hendrix.
4. I take too long to get ready for everything.
5. I've become obsessed with re-watching series, currently being Ugly Betty & Gossip Girl (Blake Lively <3).
6. I drive a Black VW Lupo Called Betty and I also have an old mini project called Sid.
7. I'm an Apple freak and own a collection of gadgets.
8. I've recently got into buying excessive amounts of nail polish after discovering a love for it.
9. I have a slight eBay addiction but I do like selling a lot too so it balances it out.
10. My ideal job would be anything within the music industry.
11. I have no shame in admitting that The Only Way Is Essex is the only thing on TV that I religiously watch.


11 questions!


1.  What's your earliest childhood memory?
Haha, the earliest memory I have is of my Mum being angry because I'd dropped a glass Lucozade bottle on the kitchen floor. They weren't plastic like they are now so needless to say it smashed and the contents went everywhere. I think I was about 4.
2. What country/place would you most like to visit?
I've always had an obsession and fascination with Egypt growing up so that's definitely one of the forefront places I'd like to visit. I also think Japan would be an amazingly manic place to go.
3. What do you love most about your family?
I love that we have a great closeness between us all, together and individually. Good humour, funny arguments and we've all got each other's back.
4. What do you love most about your friends?
I love them all for different reasons. Some for always being there, some for being super fun company even if we haven't seen each other for a while and some just because they are purely nice, genuine people. And no matter the different reasons I have great memories and times with all.
5. What would be your last meal?
Everything in the world on one plate with some mayonnaise. I couldn't pick, I just love food haha.
6. Would you change your name if you could, if so what to?
No I probably wouldn't. When I was growing up I didn't really like my name but I'm not bothered now and My Mum's always said what a cool Granny name it will be (Do you know any old ladies called Chloe?) and now I oddly can't wait, haha.
7. Favourite shops?
Assuming not just fashion related... TK Maxx, George (Asda), HMV, Primark, River Island, M&S Food, B&M's (Bargains galore). That seems like a really uninteresting and cheap list but I do a lot more shopping and window shopping online these days. 
8. Favourite makeup brand?
I don't really have one. I don't have a love for several products that I own from one particular brand so I couldn't say. All I can really answer is that MAC was the first more expensive make up that me and my friends starting fan girling about at school and it still makes me excited. But I don't have enough money to own that much of it.
9. Which season do you like the best and why?
Ooooh tricky. Probably Autumn/Winter. I'm not a fan of having my arms/legs out so I get exhausted with dressing for warmer weather sometimes. 
10. Websites you visit most often?
eBay, Graze, Natwest, Modcloth, Blogger, Etsy
11. Name 5 things you could not live with out ?
Duchess, my macbook, Television, My everyday make up bag, and a shower.

My 11 questions!


1. Do you have any pets?
2. What do you remember as your first favourite shop growing up and why?
3. Who is your favourite female celebrity?
4. Who is your favourite male celebrity?
5. What are your top 3 passions in life?
6. What is your favourite music genre?
7. If there was one thing you could change about yourself or your lifestyle, what would it be?
8. Which TV series, past or present, is your favourite?
9. Which do you love more; Make up, clothes or shoes?
10. If you could be styled like one celebrity for the next year, who would you choose?
What's your favourite era for fashion?

I'll leave a comment for people who I've nominated :)

My Week In Pictures

Found one of my guilty pleasures while
sorting through my room.
Bedtime with my baby girl.








              
              My first try at using MUA's
           Nail Constellation. 
Found it funny I could see my
reflection in my steering wheel
badge. Go VW!



Graze box of the week, exciting!
Brother & Sister :)
  


Halloween fun!
Cute cat moment number 763 of
the week.
Went out for lunch where I work.
Tried out some vintage-y style curls/waves
with my hair, absolutely loved them! (In all
other pictures I'm pulling faces on purpose,
haha)














































All in all, had a nice week :) Really loving my job at the moment and as always, loving coming home to my cats. I've eased off on the eBay purchases this week to try and let my money build up a bit with some selling instead. I've still bought a few bits though which I'll post about soon!
