10 Thing's You'll Learn When You Live In An All Girls House





When you're thrown into a flat full of strangers in your first year of uni you want to make the best impression on your new friends as possible. But fast forward to final year when you've teamed up with four of your now best friends you reveal the real you....the good the bad and the extremely weird.  


Lady's Are Certainly Not Ladylike


If you think girls living together will mean pillow fights and dancing all the time then you are sadly mistaken. This is our house and our safe place so if we don't wanna shower or throw up because we drank off milk we will. 



Your Periods will all sync


This may seem like a convenient thing but trying living with 4 other girls who are just as moody and tired as you are. Every little thing is something to complain about HOW DARE YOU USE MY KETTLE WATER YOU STUPID BITCH.



Every Occasion is An Excuse To Chat 


Just gone downstairs to make a quick cup of tea or take a toilet break from all the studying your gonna start doing.....of course i've got time for an hour chat about that woman who keeps looking at us next door, its an important matter. 


Your Landlord is On Speed Dial 


Without sounding very sexist a house full of girls can go into utter chaos when the heating goes down. I honestly feel a tiny bit bad for my landlord sometimes because nothing is ever right and he has a lot to do......but then I remember...he's kinda a dick.  



Everyone is Scared of Ghosts


No matter how strong one of you is or how many jokes you crack about ghosts in the house to scare everyone, as soon as you hear a noise in the middle of the night you'll hide under the covers and beg your housemates to let you in their bed.  


Baking Anything Means Sharing With Everyone


The smell of baking somehow sneaks into everyones room and the kitchen will magically fill up just at the exact moment those muffins are out the oven.......typical. 



Piss Someone Off And Your Dishes Will Not Be Washed

No matter how much you get along there will always be moments of tension. If someones acting a little odd, thats it the guards are up and for at least a day the house is a war zone and the kitchen is the battle. Plates and cups will not be safe. 



You Know Every Intermit Detail About Each Other (whether you like it or not)


Since your life has now turned into a never ending sleepover, with the occasional trip to uni you get a lot of talking done. From 3am deep talks about life to oversharing great details about your sexual habits. As well as each other, you'll get to know their boyfriends pretty well too and meeting  them can be a bit awkward: "hi nice to meet you i know all about your penis".  



Chicks Before Dicks: 


No matter how much drama is going on between your girls, when someone needs a shoulder to cry on, a person to make them fill a little less crazy or even someone to write a reply for you, your house will be the ultimate girl power team. 



You'll Get Excited to Hear Each Other Come Home 


You're so used to having each other around all the time that when they go away for the weekend you really miss them. You're like a mini drama filled family who love each other but also want to hit each other sometimes too....but thats okay. 





It may be dramatic and sometimes you will want to kill each other but living with your best friends is an experience you'll rarely get to do so love every moment you share with each other xx

November Detox | The Grey Jumpers


Between the spooky parties of Halloween and the festivities of Christmas, lies little cold November. Our first month off since summer and the perfect time to just take it easy and prepare for December. 


I call this a detox month because it's my detox from colour, the transition from autumn to winter. This year in particularly i've noticed a little bit of a trend.....when I say a trend I mean a pretty much identical occurrence. I like grey, grey jumpers to be precise. 


Now you may be thinking whats the problem with liking or having grey jumpers? How about having five. That's right I brought five different grey jumpers on five separate occasions in the past year. If that doesn't scream "i've got a bit of an obsession" i don't know what does. 


Top to bottom: H&M, Topshop, H&M, Forever21, Cotton On

Being the neutral between black and white, grey is the perfect shade (was going to say colour but I remembered all those people who used be like "IT'S NOT A COLOUR ITS A SHADE").  


It's subtleness can make your outfit blend into the winter morning. You can dress grey up but personally I prefer to keep it beautifully simple. With a small silver chain and black jeans you are keeping it basic yet looking rather chic. 





Textures are just as different as colours and very noticeable with grey. From knitted wool to soft fluffy cotton, a noticeable texture can proved that little touch your outfit needs to be perfect. 


Now comes to my explanation for having five, firstly each one is different: a hoodie, a sleeveless one, one is longer at the back, a fluffy one and a knitted one. Secondly it goes amazingly well with black and we all know that many of us live in black jeans or leggings as soon as it gets cold. 



Maybe the grey reminds me of snow? or maybe I just want to give my wardrobe a slight change from all the black? Whatever the reason it's happened and I'm not mad about it, in fact I want to encourage you who don't have one to give it a try. xx
