Turning 17

Hey Guys!

As some of you may know, I finally turned 17 on 24th July and obviously that means that I'm finally road legal!! As I live in a tiny little village very far from sivilisation I've been soo excited to learn to drive so that I can be more independent. I had previously blogged about doing an intensive driving course (read about that here), however as I could only book it once I had turned 17 they were all booked up for over the summer holidays! :( Instead I decided to go with a national driving school and have as many lessons a week as possible during the 5 remaining weeks of the holidays..:)
In England, there are 2 parts to the driving test. I had my theory test (the first part) on 28th July and passed first time! :) So I've booked my practical test (the second part) for the 8th September... Eeekk!

So driving... There's a lot to remember and you have to do a lot of things all at the same time as well as watching every thing that's going on around you. For my first lesson, I went with my instructor to a very quiet little village and drove around the lanes which all went in a big circle, getting used to the first 3 gears and steering as well as pulling away and stopping. However, before I turned 17, I went once each week with my parents to an old airfield local to us. On this you can practice driving without being on the road. This helped LOADS, as I got used to everything before going on the road so I would definitely recommend doing something like that in preparation if possible. It also took away those horrible nerves before going on the road for the first time as I knew I had a bit of an idea of what I was doing!
I have 10 more hours of lessons before my test..eekkk! If anyone has any last minute tips for me I'd love to hear them in the comments below! I'll also blog about how it goes, good or bad!

Bye for now!

Guest Post - The Chic Cupcake

Hey everyone! My name is Jenna, and I write over at my blog, The Chic Cupcake! :) If you haven't already read my blog, head over HERE and don't forget to follow me!!! Comment the link to your own blog, and I will check out your blog too! <3 Today I will be doing a guest post on the lovely Anon Girl blog! I decided to do this post on 'My 5 Favorite Clothing Staples'! These five articles of clothing are pieces I cannot live without! Let's get started :)

1. V-neck tee: I am obsessed with plain (or printed) v-neck tees! I own close to twenty different colors, and they can be worn on pretty much any occasion! They are easy to throw on and super cute :)

2. Dressy tank top: After summer is coming to an end, I always raid clearance sections for cute (and cheap!) dressier tank tops. These are amazing because they can be worn as is in the summer, or they can paired with a cardigan during the colder months! I own tons and tons of cute tank tops and wear them allllll the time ;)

3. Cardigan: Cardigans are a must! Black, white, multi-colored, any cardigan is great to have! They can be paired with the tank tops mentioned above and complete almost every outfit for any season!!!!! Go invest in a few cardigans, and you will not regret it!

4. Skinny jeans: A pair of skinny jeans is a must because they can be dressed up or down and look super trendy and cute! I love me some good skinny jeans ;) 

5. Dress: One simple dress is a MUST in any girl's closet. It can be worn casually or dressed up and is a staple piece for sure!!! I personally enjoy a LND (Little Navy Dress haha) and own quite a few perfect dresses for any occasion :) 

I hope you enjoyed this guest post!!!! Again, check out my blog and follow HERE! Also, don't forget to check out Anon Girl's guest post on my blog (it will be up in August)! Have a great day!!!! :)
