New York | Photo Diary Day Two
On the second day of our trip we got up early and caught the tube to the Rockefeller centre we decided to go early to beat the crowds, after this we headed to 5th Avenue and did a bit of shopping. We then went to Panera Bread for lunch, they do my favourite chicken noodle soup which is annoying seeing as we don't have it in the UK. After this we headed towards the Empire State after a quick stop off at Grand Central station mostly because I felt it was a necessary visit after watching Gossip Girl. We then waited for it to get dark and went up the Empire State. We chose to do both the Rockefeller and Empire State so we could see the view both in the day and once it was dark. While seeing the Empire State from the Rockefeller centre was amazing the view from the Empire State was even more magical.

New York | Photo Diary Day One
I was lucky enough to go to New York at the end of March for a week, it was quite a surreal experience after wanting to go there for so long. Exam revision has been taking over my life for the past month or so but It's been a long time since I posted on here! University took over and I never got round to posting but I thought I'd have a break and share some of the photos from my trip. I'm planning on doing a post for each day as there's a lot of photos!
The first full day was spent in and around Times Square doing what a lot of people do in New York: shopping. We also had tickets to see Wicked for the evening, I have to say I wasn't really sure what to expect but the show was amazing and I would definitely recommend it. I didn't actually take that many photos on the first day as I spent most of it shopping but here here are some photos:

What I Got For Christmas 2014
First off Happy New Year! Hopefully you've all had a great start to the year. I haven't blogged in over two months but I'm hoping to blog more this year by getting better at balancing uni work and using my free time more wisely (blogging rather than spending half a day in bed watching Netflix). I'm also hoping to figure out how I can take better photos in my uni room as it is dark pretty much all of the time.
I thought I'd share with you what I got for Christmas as I always enjoy reading these posts. The main thing I asked for from my parents was spending money for New York. They also got me quite a few books including the Alice in Wonderland one which has such a pretty cover and a guide to New York for when we go in March. Although I managed to confuse the guide book with atlas of the world and took a picture of that instead (whoops), this is what happens when you have to rush to take photos before the sun goes in. My mum also kindly got me the Statue of Liberty Pandora charm. The costa cup was from my brother and he actually chose it himself rather than my mum getting him something to give to me so I was pretty impressed and am looking forward to using it when I get back to uni. My nan got me the Champney's manicure set as she knows how much I like to paint my nails.
The straighteners, perfume and Naked palette are all presents I chose myself with the money my nan gave me. These are actually the first pair of straighteners I've ever owned as I never used to bother much with my hair but after using my friends straighteners I decided it was time to invest in some of my own. I quite like using them to make my hair wavy although I haven't quite perfected my waves yet. The owl hooks were from my parents because I love owls and because at the moment I have no hooks in my uni room which means my coats end up either on my bed or in a heap on my chair.
One of my favourite presents is the little dog, my mums work colleague actually made it! It's made from felt and is super cute!
So that's an overall of what I got for Christmas. I wasn't in quite so much of a Christmassy mood this year, I feel as I've gotten older I've begun to feel less excited about the whole build up to Christmas (uni exams and revision don't help much either). But on the day I actually rather enjoyed myself, it was nice to eat as much food as I wanted, spend time with my family and forget for a while about all the revision I had to do.
What was your favourite gift that you received? If you've done a what I got for Christmas post then feel free to leave a link to it in the comments as I'd love to have a nosey.
