University Life

Where to begin?
I have had so much going on in my life over the past week and a half that I have had no time at all to write anything, and update you.
I moved into halls on Saturday the 15th of September and I live with four other girls in a flat. We get along well and I enjoy their company.
Fresher's Week is one week packed with fun activities during the day and night. It was a great way to meet new people and socialize and get to know the university campus.
My weeks are going to be full of long lectures, practicals, workshops and tutorials. But I promise I'll try to squeeze in some time to update on here!
Enjoy these pictures :)
Packed and ready to go

Update

I believe this will be the last post I write from Sweden for a while. Tomorrow I move away from home all by myself, to a country I have no real connection with. It's daunting yet extremely exciting- to be independent, to live on my own, to take care of myself. This past week I've been struggling with fitting my whole life into two large suitcases! It's been hard but I did it- it might have been one of the hardest things I've done for quite some time. Fingers crossed I haven't forgotten anything!!
That's really all I have to say for the time being, I just want to give you an brief update of my life right now!

Baroque

It's common knowledge that fashion is inspired by art. But there was one style of art that seemed to prevail at the Fall/Winter 2012 shows: Baroque.
With ornate details and gilded edges, the drama of the baroque period has been fancifully captured this season:
Dolce & Gabbana's Fall/Winter 2012 can be summed up in one word: lavish

Proenza Schouler - Metallic gold complements and warm orange in the Asian-inspired baroque look

At Jason Wu, a daring slit adds a sultry twist to the classic baroque look
Indulge in the decadence with this jewel-encrusted Lanvin dress

The baroque fashion look is all about the details, and who could resist this ornate Balmain dress?

Nobody does over-the-top like Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton's looks this season were otherworldly

-Burgundy
-Knitwear (a must)
-Boots
-Leather jackets
-Scarves (preferably knitted and cozy)'
