Update and Wishlist

Hello there! Thank you to my new followers for your support! I'm up to 7 now which I reckon isn't too shabby considering I haven't blogged much. Just thought I'd give you a quick update on my life right now.

As it says in my profile I'm currently an MA student and have been for the past year. However, this will very soon be coming to an end as my dissertation deadline is NEXT WEEK! Luckily I have been a huge geek and I've almost finished. Today I'm writing up my conclusion, tomorrow I can hopefully bash out a decent introduction and then ALL DONE! Woopwoop! It's been a very long summer sat at my desk writing 15000 or so words and I can't wait to get back down to Bristol for a few days to finally hand it in and celebrate with a glass of bubbly.

As a reward for my hard work and sacrificed social life my Mum and Dad said they'd club together and get me a congratulations gift. My Mum suggested jewellery but later retracted the offer after realising I don't really wear jewellery and I'm so flippant with what I like and don't like that it wouldn't be worth it. So, for the past few weeks I've been racking my brain for something I really want/need and today I received a sign from the gods. Ahem. Ok, a sign from Topshop online!

How gorgeous are these??! They're £150 (Topshop boutique) so I might have to donate a little something towards them but they are everything I've been looking for: black, suede, studded ankle boots with that 'x factor' (check out the quirky angular heel on the website). Oh! It's so sad that shoes make me so deliriously happy. I think the dissertation has had an effect on my sanity...!

Yours cheerily, Laura Jane xxx

This week I will be mostly listening to... FLEETWOOD MAC!

Myself and two guy friends have just formed a band and got together the other night to practise. This is all very new and we're just starting to get used to each other's skills (in my case - lack of ANY skills), likes, dislikes, sound, etc so we just tried a couple of covers as a bit of an experiment.

And I came across this band in my Dad's record collection. Yes, of course I've heard of them before, but my parents are massive F.M. fans and so, unsurprisingly, I wasn't going to be naturally enthusiastic about them! But they really are incredible. Inspired lyrics, really catchy riffs and an original style helped to make the band the success they were and still are today. Check out Stevie Nicks's hair in this video...it is almost as impressive as the song! Enjoy!
