Lets chill in the Bathtub

Urban Outfitters...I love that Picture.

this is the first time i've seen snow. ever. for real. wow. i'm just amazed. i've been eating it off aoife's windowsill all day and it really does make a lovely post-breakfast snack. apart from being snowed in; i have a mountain of essays to write for teachers who really should fuck off and eat some cock cheese or something. 
   all rants aside i am fully aware that we've been shitty bloggers this past week and a half and although the pictures are lovely, they don't exactly compensate for real writing now do they? i have four major esssays to work on today consisting of:
research on the life of Sophocles for classical studies
an essay on the use of the irish harp in gealic ireland for music
how stalin came to power for history
and a major look at about 10000 Sylvia Plath's poems. 
i've sort of made a dent in the Sophocles essay but i've decided to indulge in a break consiting of mindless facebook stalking; blogging natuellment; and listening to bon iver.
the only thing that just takes the biscuit are ALL THE FUCKING PEOPLE WHO POST STATUS' LIKE 
''omg snow!!! xxxxx" 
yes.
we know.
we have windows too, darling.
we can see the 'effing snow.

C'est la vie

evening m'darlings. hope lifes not taking too much of a toll of you. its been a stressy week in school and its safe to say i havn't been having to best of weeks. oh well it should look up rather soon due to some much-needed RETAIL THERAPY. i've been bumming it in my sherpa shirts and unbrushed hair. like a boss hobo.
winters started with a bang so we've been layering it up. oh how i long for summer days where theres tons of festivals nd we can wander barefoot, barelegged. ahhhhhhh. six months left.

current life situation: FUCKED




love always, raya

Today was Wednesday, and every Wednesday our school has a half day. So, as much as Raya and i would have loved to stay in the boarding house drinking tea, we had to conquer the vast outdoors and trek through the biting wind to our local shopping centre to stock up on Winter essentials! 

Due to insufficient funds and lack of Mummy and Daddy's money to scruple, we ended up being very economical indeed and going to Primark. 

Surprisingly, their Winter range actually has some really good pieces to keep you warm and toasty when a big cup of tea might not be at your disposal.

I am just mad about these Ushanka hat look-alikes. Sadly, i don't think i can pull them off as they make my head look like a cantelope.

I really like the print on the jumper and the over-the-knee socks are fab.

Sheepskin and leather jackets are just an essential this season if you ask me, i'd really love one myself (hint hint Raya and Benny) and the Primark one is really nice.

They also have a lovely selection of scarves, hats gloves and more but unfortunately i couldn't find any pictures. 

The men's section also has nice hats, geometrical print headbands and the amazing Sherpa Shirt which Raya bought - it looks like a shirt but it's lined with fleece! So cozy!

I love that cardigan and i am a strong advocate of shopping in the men's section!

I've already got my eye on what i'd like for Christmas - a leopard print faux-fur coat like this one from Topshop would do me just fine thanks.

So if any of you are feeling generous or anything... 

Haha, much love, Aoife ♥
