She's got her lipstick on.

Chambray blouse: gift from Jazmine. Cardigan: mum's. Floral skirt: £14, Primark. Belt: 10p, charity shop. Bag: French Connection. Socks: gift, Topshop. Anna boots: £76.50, Topshop. Necklace: Toujours Toi. Ring: £2.40, Forever 21.

Nothing makes me happier than showing off Liverpool to people who've never been before, and it's even better when you're able to share it with two people who you can spend three hours chatting with in a restaurant after you've finished your meal. These two faces may be familiar to you as they have their own blogs (and if you aren't, where have you been?), but when Jazmine and Olivia arrived on Saturday afternoon and squeezed on the sofas with my flatmate Amy before heading off to The Quarter for pizza then into town for a dance it was no different to any of my other friends coming to visit. 

Obviously, a trip to scouseland isn't complete without stopping off at Cuthbert's Bakehouse for hot dogs and tea (which is a completely normal combination as tea goes with everything), which turned into an impromptu photoshoot with three cameras and a lot of over the top posing. It was all too soon when the time came for our guests to head back to Lime Street station and wish us farewell. I'll try not to get too soppy here, but when you take a step back and realise that we're just three normal girls from all over the country who wouldn't have met had it not been for our blogs, it's a little overwhelming, in the best possible way.

Talking to the songbird yesterday.

Sheer blouse: Topshop (so old!). Chambray playsuit: £9, Beyond Retro. Green blazer: Glamorous. Cardigan: £1.50, charity shop. Tartan scarf: £8, ebay. Watch: gift, Rotary. Necklace: Grace Face Boutique. Chelsea boots: Stylistpick.

Somehow we're past halfway through the first week of my easter holidays (did someone say Spring Break?) and it's been a bit of a blur. Some pretty faces popped up to see me (more on that tomorrow!), but mainly it's been a period of generally chilling/having some quality pyjama time. Aside from dressing like a toddler, see above, we've been making use of the poker set that bgo sent over and having lots of pizza. It's been a while since I last played poker, and the days of the KPL are a halcyon memory, so I was a little rusty, but when there's wine involved I think we were all ended up being as bad as each other!

We missed you, hissed the lovecats.

Indian Cat Sweater: c/o Skip n' Whistle. Leather skirt: £13.50, Topshop. Anna £76.50. Bracelet: gift, Marc by Marc Jacobs. Necklaces: vintage, elsie belle, and grace face boutique. Ears: cat's own.

When I lived in Halls in first year, one of my flatmates commented on how I always "dressed up" for uni. I'd never really noticed until then that the general uniform of the lecture theatre consists of jeans and a t-shirt with trainers or ballet slippers, and I suppose, in comparison, I was making a bit of an effort. I think over the years I've naturally collated a wardrobe that consists of separates that are basic enough to pair bleary-eyed without even thinking, and I've found myself grabbing this Skip N' Whistle sweatshirt quite a lot recently to keep me warm as possible while the skies threaten snow. And it has cats dressed as indians on it, which I think is enough to convince anyone to ditch the denim. I'm also sporting my (ridiculously overpriced and I definitely shouldn't have bought them) shoes that I've been eyeing up in Topshop for months since seeing them on Amy's blog a while ago. Like what happens every time I buy a new pair, they're The One, and I think it's going to get pretty serious guys.

But, more importantly, here's my plan for tonight. Come at me, chicken.
