TOP 5 FAVOURITE SONGS AT THE MOMENT

Hey everyone!
Well its been a while hasn't it?! I very rarely post on this blog any more, Im so busy with my passion for illustration I kind of forget about the other things I used to do before I used to dedicate 95% of my time to drawing! So I'm back for a little bit, and to get me back into business, I thought why dont I write about one of my other passions?

Music is S U C H an important thing in my life, I'm not the type of person who occasionally puts the radio when I feel like it, I listen to music as if it's going out of fashion, I'm pretty sure a lot of us are the same and on some level can understand how important music actually is!

Im not the type of girl who listens to one particular band or genre, I used to be, but that's no way to live life right? I love so many songs it's hard to keep track, I've got to say my Spotify playlists are my pride and joy, so what better way to kick off another blog post talking about my top 10 favourite songs at the moment!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED

Ever since I was little I have had a huge fear of needles, the thought of anything going through my skin has been a big no no for as long as I can remember, hence why you will not find one piercing on my body, not even my ears. No amount of money would tempt me to get my ears pierced, the thought of it makes me shiver, the thought of having any body part pierced does really, I 100% am the squeamish type.

MY LUSH INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE (AND IT'S A GOOD ONE)

Hello everyone! Now here is a post that I never thought I would ever be writing and posting, but that's right, a miracle happened and I landed myself a job as a sales assistant at Lush Cosmetics! its still kinda unreal that I can say that I actually have a job, because I have never ever had a proper job anywhere in my whole life, and to say that my first job will be at Lush? I couldn't be happier.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE...

Ah summer is on its way out. A side time for all the lovers of barbecue smell and quality time in the garden. Yes the cold is moving its way in slowly, but theres no need to get upset as autumn and winter do offer a lot of pros that balance out those freezing cold cons, and I'm here to put down my reasons that may warm up the bitterness you may have towards the seasons.

MUSIC OF THE MONTH #1

Music is one of the biggest and most important things in my life. Not a day goes by where I don't have earphones in my ears, annoying everyone who tries to talk to me when I don't reply as my music is too loud. Be it when I'm tidying up, on the bus, writing blog posts or simply relaxing, music is always there making the moment more enjoyable.

If someone was to ask me what my singular favourite song was, the amount of song titles just wouldn't stop coming out of my mouth and would completely defy the whole meaning of the word "singular". Every month I always have certain songs that I listen to again and again, so you got it, here is a list of this months favourites!

CATH KIDSTON FAVOURITES

When it comes to Cath Kidston, obsessed would be a very big understatement. As soon as I can see the front of a Cath Kidston store when I'm out, I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame, if I have money to spend or not. Ranging from stationary, cooking accessories and clothing, CK has just about every product that you can think of, and if you're a lover of anything girly or floral, then this brand may just be your new favourite thing, if it isn't already.

As a bit (again, an understatement) of an addict, I've started to grow a little collection of items which I will discuss with you in this post!

1) Purses
Every time I'm in a Cath Kidston store, the purses are some of my absolute favourite items in there. Theres always so much choice with the them and its always torture to pick one out when it comes to buying one. I have gone through so many general purses through the years, and most of them I've rather lost or just thrown in a box somewhere because I was getting bored of it. My first CK purse (one shown on the right) was given to me on my 17th birthday, and had served me 1 whole year until I bought the purse to the left with the remainder of my 18th birthday money, which was a part of the new range at the time. It's not that I got bored of my original purse, I'm just the kind of girl who likes a change sometimes, not to mention that I want to own as many purses as possible, a girl can never have too many right?

BOOK REVIEWS: KAT VON D

Hello my friends, today Im going to do a review on possibly my favourite book trio, and if the post title hasn't give enough away, this book collection is the holy trinity of books all belonging to Kat Von D. Normally when I read a book its like your typical book, a story book if you will, but Kat's books are more like three tattoo diaries, which also include snippets of her personal and work life.

TOP 10 - PLACES TO GO

If I had the chance to do anything, i'd pack my bags and travel straight away. From the busy cities of America to the beautiful beaches of the Maldives, there's nothing i'd love more than travelling for days on end, well, with the amount of places I want to go, months on end. 

If you haven't guessed, for this post I'm gonna talk about where i'd love to visit if I ever got the chance to! 

RIMMEL LONDON - PROVOCALIPS REVIEW

So today I am going to be writing a post for you guys that will hopefully be the answer to your lipstick needs. For me, lipstick is one of the most essential make-up items and I look and feel completely naked without it, but as good as lipstick looks, it can be a constant beauty worry and problem.

Ever had a drink and seen a huge lipstick mark left on your glass? ever had a nice meal and seen your own lipstick smothered all over it? Ever had something to eat and then worried that all your lipstick has come off and all you have left is a strong bold outline around your lips? well my friends, I have a solution to every one of your lipstick problems, and this comes under the name of Rimmel London's Provocalips.

TOP 3 FASHION INSPIRATIONS

When you think about it, you have probably been inspired by someones fashion sense at some point or another, be it one of your friends, someone you've seen in town, or maybe even a mannequin in a shop store window. I know that for sure my main source of fashion inspiration is from other people, including celebrities. When it comes to fashion, you obviously buy things you like, but sometimes you may see someone wearing a particular outfit/rocking a particular style and you think "hmm, id like to give that outfit a go myself".

So as you can guess with this post I'm gonna be sharing my main inspirations with you, why I like them, where I first discovered them...you get the picture. I don't know what it is but I just looooove sharing my thoughts and opinions on this blog, and in some ways it helps me understand myself more! (the ranking of this post is in no particular order).

1) Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is a English TV presenter, model and contributing editor at Vogue. Alexa was one of those faces that I constantly kept on seeing on and in magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Company, and at some point I decided to look at her a little further and ended up falling in love with her classy style. One thing I also love about Alexa is how edgy she is in person, literally she's so down to earth and completely out there, and I think it's always cool to have a bit of character with someone. After Alexa won me over, I read her debut book, IT (read my lil' review of the book here), and its one of the most stylish books I have ever read, and to this day I still love to read it over and over again. I think one of my favourite Alexa looks is her dungarees (shown on the far left of the collage). I always have phases in which I want a particular item of clothing, and of course Alexa has brought up this massive want for dungarees, and they're something I probably wouldn't of even thought of wearing a few years back. I guess Alexa's style makes me want to go more outside of my usual outfit box.
