Okay...Moving On...

Today me & my fella moved out of our first flat, and like most of you who have ever moved home will know - it's super stressful.

We literally didn't realise exactly how much stuff we had collected in our 6 short months living there until it rolled around to 2.30 a.m. and we still hadn't finished packing!


AND we ran out of parcel tape...AGAIN!
Seriously.

The worst part about this morning was, my parents were due to be at our flat at 8 a.m. to go grab the hired van to move everything...and waking up at 7 a.m. was torture! So working on 4 hours sleep, no breakfast (due to me accidentally packing all the bowls, plates and spoons etc) and a lot of driving up & down the motor way... we're shattered.
What I wore: Sugar skull tank - Miss Selfridge, Skinny fit boyfriend jeans - Pull & Bear London, Chunky Hoop Earrings - Bijoux Brigette. 
Subtle make up & a huge messy bun help with the relaxed feel of this outfit... 
or 
 'its 7a.m. & I can't be bothered with hair in my face'!


Unfortunately quite early on with all the moving etc, my back really started to hurt and I had just become useless in any sort of help at all...

On another note though, Gimli (our 1 year old bearded dragon) thoroughly enjoyed her road trip in the van! She did cling on to me for dear life but she loved watching out the window, and even fell asleep against my chest because of the gentle rocking...kind of like a baby in that sense.


 Meet the Inspiration for my Blog Name - Gimli the Citrus-Fire bearded dragon! She looks so dark here, but we were in a van & she was getting a little cold...even though she's lying on a leopard print hot water bottle!
You have to admit that she looks so adorable & stylish in her pink diamanté harness!

 A slightly better view of my jeans - they came with detachable braces which I love but on moving day they're impractical!
My chunky knit body warmer is from Zara, but from quite a few years ago now...
The hood has a faux fur cream lining which Gimli took full advantage this morning riding around in it!


Surrounded by my dissembled bed frame in my old room...which is now my new room again...I am so glad to have my HUGE wardrobe back though! 
It's 2.5 Metres high by 2 metres wide & has a pull out shoe rack...
(yes you're allowed to be jealous!)
Once it's re-stocked & tidy I may give you a sneak insider peek!




Now I'm enjoying a nice relaxing sit down, with a cool glass of diet coca-cola and chilling with my spiked princess before the process of unpacking EVERYTHING i spent all of last night packing...
Ugh!



Do any of you relate to the stresses of moving house or into student digs?
