Hey everyone! Just a little update on what I've been up to this week! 

1- After my Tax exam on Monday, I needed a little pick-me-up so my other half took me to starbucks for my favourite drink (Caramel Coffee Frappuchino)! If you haven't tried this I recommend you do! It's delicious! 

2 & 3- On wednesday we had our final exam which called for a celebration! Of course this involved wine and food! We visited a restaurant in Edinburgh called Twenty Princes Street. I'm going to do a post on our night next week so look out for that! 

4- I regularly get called the crazy cat lady so it made me giggle when there were 3 random cats in my garden this week, one of which was actually sitting at my window meowing to get in! 

5- This sums up the hillarity which was going on in my house when we should have been studying! It mostly involved videos of cats doing funny things! 

6- You may have seen my post yesterday about my end of year uni ball! We've been every year since first year and it's always a good night! This year was no different. It's so lovely to see everyone before everyone goes back home for the summer months! 

So that was my week this week! 

p.s this time next week I'll be lying on a beach in Portugal! (Just saying!) 

Hehe!

Black and Gold

Hey everyone!
As you may know, I finished my exams this week, and it's tradition on my course that we have a ball at the end of every year! Of course this means I get to buy a new dress every year which is always fun!
So here is my outfit from last night!!

Please excuse my messy hallway! 

My dress is from Boohoo.com, I'm wearing gold glitter shoes from Next and a plain silk pashmina from Tie Rack

Train selfie!

I wore plain gold ball earrings (from H&M) and no necklace as I thought the sequins on the dress were enough! 

I never wear eye make-up so as you can see I treated my eyes last night! And I just wore my hair in a ponytail and curled the ends! 

Everyone had a great night, especially our lecturer who was more drunk than any of the students! I had a rather sore head this morning (made worse by starting work at 9am)! So scary that next year's ball will be my last ever one! Ahh I'm getting old!

What will be, will be

This week has been just horrible! 

You may have been reading in the papers/ seen on the news that Tie Rack is closing all its UK stores before the end of the year. Well I work in one of those stores and I've been made redundant. 

Not many people say they love their job, but i genuinely do. I'm absolutely gutted! It's been so hard to take the news and I'm really gonna miss everyone when we all leave. 

Of course now we are in closing down sale, the place has gone mad, especially with it being so close to Christmas! Therefore, please forgive me if there are very few posts between now and christmas! I'm working a lot of hours at the moment! 

So what is the point in this post you may ask? Well I've been reading lots of news articles about the closing of Tie Rack. Many people blame it on men not wanting to dress smart anymore. Other people say online competitors are killing us. And I've seen the tweet "who even wears a tie anymore?" about 300 times!! 

This has angered me so much! People don't seem to realise Tie Rack is not just a tie shop! We sell jewellery, scarves, hats, gloves for both men and ladies! And the accessories are all gorgeous and very on trend! It is so upsetting to see people who think it is just a tie shop! 

I'd love to know what you think about this! Have you ever shopped in Tie Rack? Do you think it's true that men don't want to dress smart anymore? And what do you think about the potential death of the high street due to online sales? Leave me a comment below! :)
