2020 | what i want this year

I usually start the year off by writing a goals list for the year, not on my blog but on my phone. This year, mainly because I have been too focused on deadlines (which are thankfully all over now), I decided not to write some but also because they are always pretty similar and I never seem to accomplish them. For instance, passing my theory AND my driving test has been on this list since I turned 18 however as I am now approaching 21 I am no closer. I'd say this year will be the year that happens but who am I kidding? Even my driving instructor thinks my brother (who is 18 in March) will pass before me.

Honestly, my main goal for the year is to just be happy and healthy. That is all I really want. I have come a long way these past years and I want to keep progressing. I am finally turning 21 and I am having a party to celebrate, which is unheard of for me as I have never been one to go 'all-out' on my birthday but this year I thought 'fuck it'. I have bought a beautiful dress and a new pair of heels because I weirdly only own heeled boots and pink heels?

In 2019 I became a massive fan of Pinterest and instead used it to create a 'mood board' of things I wanted to do, get and just how I pictured my year going. Obviously, they were not exactly the same but nonetheless, I loved the idea and I have done the same thing for this year.

There are so many things that will be happening this year, including lots of concerts (obviously), holidays and just spending lots of time with the people who mean the most to me. In fact, one of these things is actually happening to next Wednesday and I could cry with happiness over the fact this is finally happening.

photo diary | lincoln christmas market

On Friday my friends and I decided to take a little break from essay writing and revising to take a trip up to Lincoln to see the Christmas Market. The train wasn't too bad for us on the journey there as they put on a large train due to the market and all the carriages are declassified so you can sit in first class, so that is exactly what we did. We were the only ones there, and as it was lunchtime while we were on the train we all sat and eat that without funny looks from other passengers like normal. 


FRIDAY 6TH DECEMBER

We had a look round Lincoln Cathedral as entry is now free and I felt like I was walking around Hogwarts. There was also a choir singing some Christmas song, they were lovely. 


Now onto the market, the bit we went for!


This beautiful building in the heart of the market is actually the crown courts!


For the journey back we again got to sit in first class and enjoy our dinner as we left at 6:30 and didn't get back into Leicester until 8:30. I had the new pigs and blankets panini from Costa! It was so yummy! It was followed by a doughnut from Doughnotts, of course, where we both had a cookie monster this time. 


Lizzie stayed in Lincoln and took a picture for me of the Cathedral at night!  SO beautiful, definitely will be going back there. 


We are planning to go to Manchester Christmas Market next year as I have always heard such good things about. I am also going back to Nottingham next week and I can't wait to see the Winter Wonderland there as it is always my favourite thing!

what i wore last week | university edition

Over the past couple of months, I have started to think a little more about what I am wearing rather than my classic jeans, white top, denim jacket and vans. I bought a new pair of jeans last month from Asos and a cardigan from Monki in September and they have been my new favourite thing to wear.

So over this past week, I have thought a lil more about what I have been wearing trying to put a lil more effort in however that is not always the way. It was also very cold Tuesday morning for my 9am so the beanie did come out.
