L'IMPÉRATRICE

I was a few sprays from running out of my perfume so when I was at the airport catching my flight this weekend I decided to browse duty free and finally found a scent that I like. It actually reminds me of Japan for some reason. The bottle is 100ml and it came with a matching perfumed body lotion (also 100ml) all for about 48EUR, which I think is a pretty sweet deal!

The reason why I was at the airport was because I flew to Brussels to see the Manfriend. It was so lovely seeing him again and I really needed to get away from England for a bit. I know it's only been 3 weeks but I agree with Julia on this: I certainly feel like a European and I am quite proud to be. Isn't it strange that I'm now living in a country of one of my origins and I'm experiencing a culture shock? I do love the occasional friendly hello's from bus drivers and people around uni and stores in town but I truly miss being in a francophone environment.

PS, I've had some problems with my previous email so if I haven't answered any of your questions which you've sent in the past two weeks or so please send them again to kaorianne@hotmail.com - I'm so sorry if you felt I ignored you!

TEA & BISCUITS

Topshop ring

Hey there, I'm into my second week of uni. Although the early morning starts aren't exactly the most desirable I am really enjoying the classes. It feels so great to finally be studying something which really interests me. I've done a bit of reading and now I'm chilling with a cup of tea and the new HIMYM episode until my plagiarism policy session later this day. After that I'm heading to town with Emilia (don't forget to keep up to date with her lookbook here) for tea & biscuits and a bit of shopping in H&M. As much as I love my leggings I'm starting to get holes in the 3 pairs which I have with me so it's about time I bought a new pair or two. The weather has been acting up and finally winter seems likes it's about to jump out and hit you in the face so I might buy a chunky jumper too. Hope you all have a nice day today!

CHASING THE SUN

So, here we are as promised! Yesterday was such a nice day that Emilia and I decided to go out and take a few photos. I decided to experiment and shoot with the sunlight behind me (and her) and we got an amazing result! I do learn things from my shoots with Christine haha (link to her flickr here). I've just had my first lecture and so far so good. I think I'll be okay with the morning lectures but I just need to get a good sleep otherwise I'll be too tempted to stay in bed. I have two hours of free at the moment so I'm in my department's common room but I'll most likely head back to my room to pick up a few things. Have an awesome day you guys!

RINGALICIOUS

Hey there people! I'm still settling in but tomorrow I finally begin my lessons and despite the 9am start I am so excited. This past week (freshers week) has certainly been an experience. Being put into a situation where you know basically no one and you have to build up a base of friends from scratch is so hard and nerve-wracking but I have met some very nice people.

I haven't been into the town centre much but when I did go I picked up this ring from New Look. I don't have any rings with pink gem stones so this will easily add a pop of colour to a dull coloured outfit! I will try get back to outfit posts soon but in the meantime I hope you're all doing well.
