January Favourites 2015

Happy Monday !!!

I haven't done a favourites in a while and I'm not sure this is gong to be monthly again but we'll just see what happens ^.^ But this month I fancied it and felt like I had something to say so I thought I'd show you pretty and wonderful things that I found whilst procrastinating away my weekends throughout the new year because hey ! who needs to leave the house when you have big bang theory ? ;)

Tv Show !

On the subject of The Big Bang Theory .... why was I not made aware of this amazingly, hilarious, perfection that I have fallen in love with, before the beginning of this month when it has been around since 2007 !!?! I literally schedule when big bang theory is on, into my day ... yes it's got that bad ! ;) In case you're interested as to how I balance my social life with my numerous obsessions, I don't :) 

Shop !

This month for the first time ever I bought a box from Carries Book Club which was great and had these super cute Peter Pan nail stickers in . So I looked up the website she'd bought them off and I discovered 'House of Wonderland' and just like that all my Christmas money was gone ! So here's my three favourite items that I found :) 

These Peter Pan and Wendy silhouette earring's make me really happy ! I love themmmmmm :D 

  

Happy Thoughts pencils :D I think these should be essentials in every person pencil case :) 

No . No , No, No ! I can' t deal with this level of cuteness ! Ahhhh I think I'm gonna die ! I need, I need , I need ^.^

Clothes !

I've been looking for a cute jumper just to laze around in whilst watching big bang theory and playing ukulele and all the other things that cool kids like me do ;) So when I found this Harry Potter Jumper reading 'You're Lucky I'm Not Allowed to Use Magic Outside Of Hogwarts' ...you can find it here :) 

Book ! 

For Christmas my boyfriends parents gave me a voucher for waterstones, I was extremely happy ... my best friend who I made sit in waterstones with me while I went through pretty much every single book in there, well she wasn't so happy ;) I bought a book called ' The Art Of Being Normal' By Lisa Williamson, just on the off chance that it looked nice and had a well designed cover :) But I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it ! The story line follows a transgender boy called David and the new boy at school called Leo and follows them both as they try to avoid any form of attention but slowly discover each others secrets and between them go to hell and back, laugh a lot and make you cry a lil bit ! 'The Art of Being Normal ' was really well written and I will definitely read any more books that Lisa Williamson writes in the future :) 

YouTube ! 

Ruby Day is a really talented singer and her original music is well written and very sweet :) Recently she released an album on itunes so if you like her music then I'm sure she'd appreciate any support because she really deserves it :) This is her cover or 'Peter' 

Accessories ! 

I wear a bow now, bows are cool ;) I bought a black bow from new look for £4.00  and haven't stopped wearing it, especially on the top of my pony tail :) 

Food !

Costa have brought out an addorable Banoffee tartlet which I'm am ever so slightly a lot addicted to ! They are soooo good ! They also do a pecan one and a rhubarb and custard one :) 

So that's all for this months favourites but I've found it's been a really good month and I'm looking forward to next month and hopefully some valentines day DIY's :) 

Check back later in the week for the weeks top ten pins ! 

Comment the best things you've discovered this month :)

#100happydays: day 42 ( Shop, Shop, Shop, Shopping :) )

Hii :)

 

How are you ? I hope you're doing well :) As you can probably guess buy the title , I've been shopping today so I thought I'd show you some of the things I bought and some that I found and didn't buy but hopefully will one day when I have money aha because I like being nosy ... so I'll assume you do too and well if you don't my bad :) Unfortunately I can't show you some of my favourite purchases because they are presents for my friends birthday next week and she reads my blog posts because she's awesome aha but if anyone's interested then let me know in the comments and I will post about the presents I got her after her birthday :)

 

So Firstly I found a lovely shop called LIV Furniture full of lots of lovely little ( and big) things with cute retro and vintage feels to them :) My favourite thing that I found is a Travel Journal that I will link to here <3 It's just one of those things that you see and instantly fall in love with :) However one thing that was slightly less gorgeous about it was the price ;) At £19.99 I couldn't really justify buying it but at some point I hope to travel and I'm praying this pretty little book will still be waiting for me :)

After this, I went on to my favourite vintage shop which stocks everything from 1940 style clothes with their fabulous floral patterns to necklaces with stunning pocket watches which I have loved since I first saw them ( I've often bought them as gifts and I actually have no idea why I have never bought one for myself )The shop is called Aspire and I will link to their website here :)  Here are a few of my finds :

 

I loved this little tag on the back of a travel wallet :) I realise it's very difficult to read, so I shall type it here because it made me smile and you too, deserve to smile :

"Address : Lets run away
                2a Faraway Land
                Just you and me
                hand in hand "

I will link to the travel wallet here so you too can enjoy the cuteness that made my day :) So this was todays #100happydays picture <3

 

 Next on my list was a trip to boots because I needed new foundation and I was low on primer :) I'm not a beauty blogger so I can't give you much but my opinions ... sorry bout that aha :) But I thought I'd try out a new foundation so I  bought " Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse" I must say so far it's really good :) I got it in the lightest shade because I'm the palest person you could ever wish to meet ( If you ever feel bad about your lack of tan, feel free to come and stand next to me and I guarantee that you will feel like your from the Bahamas aha ;) ) It gives great coverage and is really good if you suffer from oily skin :) I also bought a new primer that I have had before (also by Maybelline) I love primers and am always on the look out for ones that keep me make up in place all day because I really don't have the time to re-apply my make up throughout the day and "Maybelline Baby Skin " primer is fantastic for doing just that :) I'm sorry I can't say more on them but I really am useless at saying anything about make up other than " well it was good I guess " ;)
 
Onto Clothing I bought two new tops , both from Newlook :) One for work experience next week and one because Harry Potters amazing and I'm slightly obsessed aha <3 See if you can tell which is which ;)
 

 
I love this top it's really light and will be great for summer as well as work experience you can find it here . Please try the top on though because it looks so much better on :)
 
 
 
 
I've spoken about Harry potter before and I did a post about my trip to the Warner Brother studios which you can find here and I just had to buy this top to feed my ever growing obsession ;) You can find that here <3
 
 
 
Finally for some crafty stuff I stopped at The Works because everything's cheap there and I have no money aha :) I bought a make your own Dream catcher for 99p , Some cute letters to decorate for 99p and a book of origami projects for £1.99 .... see what I mean by cheap aha :)

 

 

 

Oh wait my bad ,that wasn't finally aha woops anyways after that I went to Paperchase to get some origami paper but I also bought a cute organiser which I fell min love with and at only £8 I couldn't just leave it there could I ?So I brought it home with me :)

 

Okay so that was my actual finally ;) Let me know if you like this sort of thing or you just want me to be quiet and stick to what I know aha ( I won't be offended honest I know I don't have a clue when it comes to make up ;) ) If you like anything here let me know or if you've found any pretty little things then feel free to comment them :)

 

 

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

 

Todays quote is something I found on a cute little box whilst I was out today, unfortunately I couldn't take a picture but here is what it said :

 

" If there was no change, There would be no butterflies "

 

Much love, Love Much-ly (someone told me today that this reminded them of the hatter in Alice in Wonderland saying "Never lose your muchness and it made me smile :) )

:) June Favourites

Hello :) 

I try to only write things that do at least one of three things : 

1) Help Someone

2) Make someone smile 

3) That I would want to read 

I have recently started reading quite a lot of monthly favourites blogs and I have realised that I actually really enjoy them :) So I thought I'd try it and see how it goes because if you don't try anything you'll never know if anything works . One of my favourite quotes to leave on quick hopeful notes is : 

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take " 

This is so true you have to just take a chance sometimes because you never know how absolutely perfect something could turn out to be <3 

Soo I guess I better stop rambling and get on with it ... Please don't like throw rocks at me or anything I'm just trying my best oh and if you want to comment any of your favourites this month them feel free to comment below ( I am aware you probably won't but just in case you fancy it the offers there ;) )

Cinema :)

Well considering my recent obsession with John Green's amazing book The Fault In Our Stars there's no prizes for guessing what my favourite film is right now :) This beautiful love story wasn't just a love story but a tale of truth and cancer . These star crossed lovers who can't fathom their thoughts into constellations left everyone in the cinema in laughter, tears and most of all despair over the death of their beloved Augustus Waters and his crooked smile <3 As a result I have also become obsessed over The Fault In our Stars merch :) I will leave the link to the official merch store of DFTBA ( Don't Forget To Be Awesome ) here :) I also wrote a blog straight after I saw the film , It's kind of a review and kind of not but I talk about my opinions of the film compared to the book and you can find that here.

Books :) 

I love reading <3 I always have since I was very little I remember Reading in bed trying not to get caught because it was ten o'clock on a school night ... I still have that problem but at three am ;) My Top three favourite books this month are : 

One Million Lovely Letters By Jodi Ann Bickley :
My thoughts of this book can't even make words. Jodi Ann Bickley is a remarkable, self less woman whom started off the most inspirational project to send people who needed it a " hug in an envelope" This heart warming auto- biography has changed my views on so many things forever <3 Please just read it I promise you won't regret it :) My favourite part is when she talks about her child hood I love the quote : 
" There were cups of tea to fix slit wrists and laughter to sellotape heartaches " The book really shows just how far kindness can go <3 I wrote more about my thoughts while reading it here . I also wrote about Ms Bickley's Project a while ago if you want more information on that you can find all the links in the blog i'll link to here :)

Sweet Honey by Cathy Cassidy: 
What was thought to be the final in The Chocolate Box Girls series turned out to be fantastic :) In Sweet Honey, Honey moves to Australia for a fresh start with her dad and meets the gorgeous Ash who works in the cafe on the beautiful beach ... a lil bit different from Tanglewood house . I love the whole series and although it's not my favourite; it's got to be a close second . Definitely read the book as part of the series though just so you can understand Honey's background :) Best of all on the last page of the book is an announcement for a surprise sixth book <3 I can't wait :) 

Eleanor & park by Rainbow Rowell :
By Far this is my favourite book this month <3 I would recommend this book to anyone :) Eleanor is an unusual ginger girl who is best described by Park “Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something." <3 So well written and told from both characters prospectives this book will do exactly what John Green said it did for him : 
" Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book " As usual Mr Green couldn't be more right :) 

Song :) 

 

My Favourite Song changes pretty much on an hourly if not momently ( is that a real word?) basis :) But in this currant second it's The Wrong Direction by Passenger :) I like songs that make me feel happy and although the lyrics are well written yet slightly depressing, I find that the cheery guitar music just makes me smile :) 

Clothing :) 

I have found quite a lot of tops that I like this month as well as a new found love for wearing dresses because well everyday is special :) Anyways this month I think my favourite top is a Batman top that I found on the New Look website , I haven't bought it yet , I'm hoping to tomorrow though :) What do you think ? It's £12.99 and  If you like it , you can find it here :)

Etsy

This month I've discovered Etsy which is amazing and full of cute home made things.... It's like my paradise :) It was so difficult to pick my favourite item because I found so much awesome stuff for all the fandoms that I have become obsessed over but in the end I decided that it had to be this Hufflepuff top after my awesome day out at the WB Harry Potter Studio's in London That I wrote about here :) 

Click here to find this top <3

Website :)

Only recently I've started using Pinterest again :) If you want any quick fix positivity then follow my on pinterest , I post positive quotes  days :) You can find me here :)

On many occasions I've written about hopefuls and the hopeful forum . Well I found a hopeful on the hopeful forum who made and sold really cute jewellery on her website :) I'm definitely going to order some stuff , you should check it out at daisymaejewellery.com/ My Favourite piece of jewellery from her website is a really cute Four Wishes Necklace which is a tiny bottle with four little dandelion seeds in so you will always have four wishes on you <3

Blog :) 

I know I mentioned this blog earlier in the month because it's just so good and a similar positive style to mine :) You can Find BeNiceItsTuesday here :)

YouTuber :) 

Last but by no means least , I'd like to mention a new YouTuber that I've found :) She is also a hopeful and I really like her videos <3 She does a lot of reviews ( her most recent is of John Green's " Looking For Alaska" )and she's just generally got a nice style so if you want to check her out ; Her account name is Little_Dreamer3
