August Update!

Lately I've been working quite a bit, but things are stating to quieten down now - people are away on holiday and saving for their children going back to school. So I've had some more time to myself, which is nice. And somewhat strange.

Since I've been off I've been able to spend more time with friends and family. I've been down at my parents house some more and it's made me realise I do miss them a lot more than I realise at times myself. It's polar opposite when I'm down visiting my parents; thrown back into little phone reception and no wifi. When I'm down there it's very relaxed compared to living in Belfast. I feel as if I'm always busy doing something up here, whereas it matters less when back in the country.

I've recently gotten some good news - my braces should be coming off in the beginning of October!
I cannot wait, I've wanted straight teeth ever since I was little, so not long to wait. Look out for an upcoming post on my experience of braces!

Still trying to de-clutter my wardrobe...easier said than done as I do have the hoarding tendencies of a squirrel with a nut...on a more positive note over the past few months I've been buying considerably less clothes-wise. Very pleasantly surprised by this...

I am now trying to vary the hair and beauty products I use by trying a few new things each month onward. I avoid trying new things such as beauty products because when I find a product I love I'll not look at anything else. However, variety is the spice of life and whatnot, so shall try more and have some fun with it along the way.

As for A/W 2013 fashion - I'm all sparkle-eyed about it. Lovely little items are slowly filtering into the shops. I have to say that I'm really excited for the upcoming season - lots of lovely tartan, grunge and cosy knitwear to look forward too!

I can't wait for the rest of this month and September, there's so much happening! In the meantime, follow my Twitter MittensFashion for instant updates on what's happening!
