Newcastle: The Copthorne Hotel review & what I got up to.

As I'm off uni for three weeks over Easter I decided to drag my twentieth birthday out over a good few days. 

You can see what I got up to on my actual birthday here and what I got up to this weekend well I'll tell you right now.

Me and my boyfriend Zac decided on a nice night away to Newcastle, nothing fancy just a little break (I say not fancy but the hotel looked like a palace from outside).

We stayed at The Copthorne Hotel which looks right out onto Newcastle Quayside.

Half way to forty

This weekend I turned 20. It's slightly scary not being a teen anymore but I'm ready to see what my twenties bring to me. What can I plan for the next ten years before I turn thirty? Thirty, flirty and thriving, a quote from one of the best girly films, Thirteen going on Thirty, which pretty much tells you to think about life in order to have the best future.

Uni: Online Video Journalism

On Wednesday I went to It's Vintage Darling in South Shields to help my bestest friend out with her Online Video Journalism module. 

The Vintage shop was so small and cute and the best thing it didn't have that awful smell like some do.

Uni: Street Style Photography

The past few weeks at university have been super photography/video based.

In my introduction to Fashion Journalism module we've been practising with the cameras and learning about street style. 

I studied photography at A-level and have my own DSLR, which I do plan to use more for blog images rather than just my phone camera.

For our assessment we have to create a double page spread with four of our own images, including vox pops and info on where you can buy similar pieces to the ones photographed. 

Rethinking and Revamping: What I want from Blogging.

I've been a super busy student over the past few months and just haven't found the time to blog at all. Deadlines upon deadlines, extra work, going to work and spending time with my boyfriend and family. The normal things.

The small amount of spare time I've had to myself I've just chilled and watched Say Yes To The Dress or Toddlers and Tiara's. 

However, whilst becoming slightly deluded over wedding gowns and sparkles I've had time to think about what I want from blogging.

It's a huge community full of lovely people who always seem willing to help one another out and I really love being apart of that. Social media is an amazing way to communicate with brands, other bloggers and anyone you may need advice from, I really do get a buzz from it. I love the internet.
