A Little Piece of Heaven (February Faves)

Hello there! 

I know it's almost the middle of April, but here are some of my February favourites! 

Firstly, my fashion favourites; my number one purchase last month was this checked t-shirt/smock dress from New Look, I've worn it pretty much every week since I bought it, and I'm not normally a dressy person, but this one is just so comfy! 

(sorry for the quality of the photo, it was a quick OOTD on my phone) 

I'm going to class the next one as fashion, because technically it is; my Drop Dead Oskar onesie! 

Things have been pretty stressful lately with college and life in general, and this is a great thing to throw on and snuggle up in after a long day, plus its super cute. 

On to beauty/hair type things now, and I've been adoring the pigtail buns that have been floating around a lot of blogs lately, as seen in Helen Melonlady's tutorial (here). However, these buns require a middle parting, something I really wasn't into, but after giving it a try I can't get enough! 

Instant style update! 

Music wise, I've been spending the majority of my time on 8tracks.com (totally not listening to playlists about Michael Clifford...), which is a great way to find new music, and remember the old stuff! Because of that I started listening to the following bands/songs; 

Animal -The Cab

Temporary Bliss - The Cab

Thnks fr th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy 

Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus

I've also been listening to more and more of Patty Walters' covers as well as his band AS IT IS, which I highly recommend you check out! 

Last but CERTAINLY not least, 5 Seconds of Summer. I saw them live when they supported One Direction on the Take Me Home Tour and they were fantastic, but I have to say, their new single She Looks So Perfect had me hooked from the start, it's fantastic! 

I hope you enjoyed this, let me know what you think in the comments! 

Thank you!

These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things (January Edition)

Howdy! 

January is over now (one step closer to summer yay!) and I thought I'd share with you some things I've been loving this month, not just from the world of fashion and beauty, a few other bits as well. So lets get started! 

First up, it has to be my Topshop jeans. As you know I bought two pairs at the beginning of the month; a pair of black Joni jeans and a pair of MOM jeans, similar to these and I know I talk about them a lot, but I have literally been living in them! The Joni jeans are super comfortable and so stretchy, so they're not  restricting at all! The MOM jeans are just so stylish, and I'm not going to lie, I've had loads of compliments on them! 

Next, the Real Techniques stippling brush. I bought this a few weeks ago (see Material Girl) and I just fell in love! It can be used for so much, I apply moisturiser, foundation and powder with it, so it's a real space saver as you don't need to carry 3 brushes. 

Music wise, I've found a few new things to listen to, which was one of my new years resolutions, so that's been going well! Over christmas I bought the new Arctic Monkeys album AM and I think it's fantastic! I also bought the new album from The 1975, which is near flawless. Recently I discovered a band called AS IT IS, fronted by Youtuber Patty Walters  which I really like.

 Finally, on Sunday (26th January) I got to see Mayday Parade live at Nottingham Rescue Rooms, which was absolutely incredible! It was such a good gig, and because of the size of Rescue Rooms it felt so intimate, which is something I really enjoy. Anyway, one of their 3 brilliant support acts was a band called Divided By Friday, who sound like a cross between The Summer Set and Fall Out Boy, so naturally I went home after and bought their latest EP. 

Modern Memoirs - Divided By Friday

 

Blenheim Place - AS IT IS

I hope you enjoyed this! What have you been loving over January? Let me know in the comments!
