Omg, I went to see the Lanvin collection at H&M and seriously loved all of the dresses. Unfortunately, the prices are really high, around £200 for a dress :( a beaaaautiful dress though!

This was the main dress that caught my eye

but the whole collection is amazing!  Every piece is really striking and colourful but I hate that it's so expensive! :(

I just don't understand why Lanvin wants to torture us by putting such a sexy, GORGEOUS and unaffordable line in H&M, a modestly priced high street shop and a place I can't escape!
Well, Pawel is looking for a christmas present...

I haven't touched dairy since

AUGUST!


and there is barely any difference in the red marks under my eyes :( I'm doubting if it's actually worth giving up dairy if the difference on my face is going to be so minute.
I'm booking a blood test this week to finally find out if dairy is all I'm allergic to. I have a feeling it wheat to but seriously don't think I could handle giving up both!
I've had these marks on and off for a year now and I am looking forward to finally getting to the bottom of it. It wouldn't be half as bad if the red marks were on my legs or arms or something but one bite of something Im allergic to and BAM! the evidence is there on my face for all to see!

Teaching!

I taught my first ever native English speaking lesson today!
I won't lie, I had been dreading it for weeks BUT it wasn't half as scary as I had imagined!
Everyone on both of my courses (English native speaker and Polish) are really nice and I am making friends from all over the world through doing this :D
I get to teach the time next week which I'm actually looking forward to!
I slept about eleven hours last night - Pawel thirteen!!!! I just don't think I could survive this course without all that sleep! It's EIGHT HOURS!! (Plus then it takes at least an hour to get home) but it's worth it knowing at the end of it in March, I'll hopefully be able to snag a well-paid job :D

CUTE THINGS!

omgosh I just found a website with the cutest things for the house ever!

(how cool!)

and I found some other not so house-things... but I Love them anyway! :)

I  l o v e this :D

                                            ( Pretty!)

It may seem a mere coincidence that I stumble upon such cool things just when Pawel starts his new job ;) we'll see how it goes!

P.S-  When asked by his mum what he would like for his Christmas present, Pawel replied 'a plane ticket to Wales' ... cuuute! :D
P.P.S- He's going to kill me after reading this!  <3

So far today I have:

* Woke up half an hour late for Polish lesson
* Had a bad hair day
* Got on the wrong tram, making me even later for my lesson but I didn't get too lost :)
* Ran like crazy for 2 miles down the street to the lesson
* Only arrived 10 mins late (not bad)
* Almost got run over by a silly, silly man
* Had my first taste of Thai food.. in a box :D - yummy!
* Ate waaay too much Thai food so I could barely move :)
* Tripped walking back home in-front of everyone
* Freaked out about my teaching course tomorrow (Im nervous!)

It's only 1pm so.. I'm going to sleep until Pawel comes home :D

My first All Saints day

is so different here than it is back in Britain.
It's taken really seriously and although I was a bit sad at first when I found I wouldn't get to dress up for it, I think I prefer Halloween here.
People spend November 1st (all saints day) with their families and then going to graveyards with flowers and candles and decorating the beautifully carved stones of their relatives and people they loved.  I honestly haven't seen anything as beautiful as the graveyards on all saints day. Everyone seems way more respectful than in Britain.
