September Things

Scarves- For me perfect for this time of year when its too warm for a coat but September so still Autumn!

Twix's new Collar- my parents brought this for him at the Nottingham greyhound Gathering and he looks so cute in it! He also seems to be acting all the more like a spoiled brat too, perhaps he thinks he's some kind of Raja now?  

The Great Gatsby- My love has been rekindled! I'm studying this at A-Level right now and it has reminded me how much of a good book it was the first time round!

My Bed- because nothing beats my winter duvet after a long day of school or work- or both if its a Friday!

Favourite Moment- Completing the Yorkshire 3 peaks! Although after, all I could really think about was my achy feet and a desperate need for a shower! 

Favourite Quote-

As much as I'm loving sixth form and everything that comes with it, it only reinforces the idea that I need to work out what I want to do with my life. I'm still hopeful that I will wake up one day knowing!

July Favourites

Hello!

So July was a long time coming but now where has it gone! I'm posting this slightly earlier than I initially planned but with good reason! I have something a bit different to post on Wednesday so eye's pealed for that! So before I start to ramble on these are my favourites for this month!

Fashion Favourites-


 

Now I am a jeans and a top kind of girl and dresses are a rare thing on my agenda but but with these mood swings that the British weather patterns are having I am having to branch out to deal with the humidity *panics* This Primark Pinafore dress is my current obsession for rainy days where it's quite humid (It feels like Florida in the UK right now me and my Mum almost got caught in a sudden storm earlier and even she said how uncharacteristic this weather is for England! If you don't live here we are used to day long dizzily rain and April showers so these recent storms and flash floods are pretty alien here in the Midlands...) so wearing jeans/ shorts I this weather felt wrong but this has been perfect. Well done Primark!

This Satchel bag I have had for a while now but I cut the label out so can't remember where it's from! It's very sturdy and fits plenty in without being uncomfortably big which I love!

Recognise this hair bow? I have shown it amongst some others in a post this month but I literally haven't taken this baby off! I wear a lot of black so this is pretty much permantly attached to my head now...

Book and Film Favourites-

I figured since I had already mentioned The Divergent series in Last Months Favourites and reviewed Insurgent a few weeks ago I would give this a mention because I really love it! The Secret Garden was a nice contrast from the constant action and plot twists of insurgent which  liked and the story is so cute there isn't one dislikeable character which Is lovely too! I honestly don't think there is a bad guy at all!
How Could I not mention Monsters University? There was no point in me reviewing a Pixar Film. I mean lets be honest, when have Pixar made a bad film? Although I will say Planes worries me a little bit, will it discredit Cars? I hope not but when the Trailer said "I don't cry I'm British!" Brilliant.

Random Favourites-



So we eat a lot of snack bars in our house so I picked these up to try and they are very nice. I'm not going to pretend they compare to a chocolate bar or a tube of Smarties (Man do I love Smarties...) but I really like these for a "healthy" snack I mean you can't eat chocolate all the time! (If only!)
I've mentioned previously that my sister is obsessed with Taylor Swift and although I respect her as a person, I don't normally listen to her music but her first album has a real summer vibe which I love! Specifically Our Song has been a favourite with the lovely weather this month.

The Natural Collection Lipstick in Rosé Bud is my addiction for my makeup days! I haven't wore much if any make up since being off school for the summer break. But when I find something that I like makeup wise, I will then use it within an inch of its life before starting on something else! This colour is very similar to my natural lip colour so it works for me without looking to OTT which is an issue I have sometimes! 

The blue Umbrella short. 

Friend: Went to see Monsters University the other day.

Me: DID YOU SEE THE BLUE UMBRELLA? WASN'T IT ADORABLE? What can I say I love the Pixar shorts! 

Favourite Internet People-

My favourite Youtuber this month would have to be with out a question NerdyandQuirky! She was announced as being one of two winners of a competition to cover John Green' Tuesday videos whilst he has been on paternity leave and from there I was hooked, obsessively. She is really genuinely hilarious and she is quirky (her channel name might suggest)  which is what I love about her videos, there is nothing in my subscription box that is the same! She's really doing it for the comedy girls on YouTube too. Basically I love this girl!
 

Favourite Quote:



I have no idea of the origin of this picture other than that it was tweeted by bubz beauty a week or so or go. I actually have this on my own mood board on my wall because I do stress easily over little bad things ie: If I wake up late on the morning of an exam I know the whole day will be bad and convince my self "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!" But it's just extra stress so this reminds me  that there is always a do over. 

And that concludes my favourites! What have you been loving this month? Leave it in the comments!

20 Facts About Me

Hello!

So in the words of that popular Taylor Swift track that my sister is always blaring out from her room "You don't know about me, but I bet you want to!" If I've bet wrongly (because that's a word now)then this may not be the post for you but oh well! Here's as suggested by the Title 20 Facts about Moi!

1!. I have ginger hair.

2. I am completely fine with being called ginger! (Unless you're a big headed 11 year old who yells GINGER as I am walking down the street then I will probably just laugh at your lack of imagination when it comes to insults. Ditto "your mum" jokes.) Sometimes people walk eggshells around it like its an offensive term (which baffles me) and call it red or auburn but really it's just ginger to me!

3. I have 2 rabbits called Cookie and Beauty. They're so fuffy!

Lazy Bums Soaking up the sun!

4. I also have a rescue Lurcher (Greyhound cross Saluki) called Twix. He runs around a lot.

This Picture is actually from the winter and he is a lot fluffier now as when this was taken he had just recovered from a serious illness.

5. I am rubbish at having favourite anything's! Colour, Food, Band, Eye colour  you name it I won't have a set-in-stone permanent favourite- only temporary.

6. I am a vegetarian and have been my whole life. I don't eat meat or fish and although it's my choice now I can't see myself  ever eating meat simply because I'm happy with my lifestyle and diet, not because I have a problem with people eating animals or anything it's a personal choice. That said whenever I see people eating wings with any sticky sauce it looks to me like they are Cannibals. #sorrynotsorry!

7. I am the eldest of 3 and can't imagine life without my little brother and sister! 

8. I am going to study Spanish, English Literature, History and Politics for AS-Level next year (I will be in year 12!)

9. I sometimes crave cold milk at random times of day and always after eating chocolate/cake. I couldn't go vegan because of this!

10. I am an all round nerd. It's something I admit to now especially as everyone says so amongst my friends so I thought I might as well embrace it!

 

11. The first channels I ever subscribed to on YouTube were Danisnotonfire and Amazingphil. I'm still subscribed to them now and 58 other channels on YouTube (excessive? I have an issue where when people say "please subscribe it will make me so happy..." I turn all Ella Enchanted and do exactly as they say!) 

12.  I have an unhealthy obsession with memes to do with and just generally a certain actor who's last name rhymes with schmosling...
 

13. I love baking when I have time to especially cake and yes I do have that breakdown that they do on great British bake off when something goes wrong. 

14. Lifestyle blogging was something I was completely oblivious to until about 4 months ago. Until then I had only heard of beauty, foodie and comedy bloggers/vloggers. 

15. The only video game I have ever played properly is the Sims 3. I just don't see the appeal personally!  

16.I love books!!! 

17. John Green is one of my favourite Authors (see one of I can't narrow things down to one!) I also like things like the Hunger Games and other contemporary fiction. 

17.5.I also like classic literature like The Great Gatsby (I also loved the film if Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't get an Oscar next year I don't know what I'll do!)  I'm reading Classic Children's literature like the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett at the moment too. Enjoying it a lot. 
 

I also really like the cover of this book.

18.I love shows like Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife (That said if one more main character dies in Downton Abbey I will not be a happy bunny!) I am also a huge fan of The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars. Team Spoby and controversially team Stefan all the way! My Favourite Vampire Diaries couples are Matt and Rebekah and Klaus and Caroline  - This will happen.

19. I love Monochrome! 

20. I don't like tea. I understand that I have failed the entire British population in not doing so. 

 

I would have liked to have done the full 50 facts "tag" but as you maybe able to tell I'm not the most interesting of people but I hope you leaned something new about me! 

Love Kim xx 

June Favourites

                  

Hello!

 

So it's July tomorrow! I would say that I can't believe the year is going by so quickly but honestly July has been a long time coming with exams starting on the 10th of May and then not finishing until the 19th of June! This also means that a lot of these favourites have been from the end of June but all the same they are favourites of the month so let us begin!

 

Book Favourites:

I read Divergent at the start of this month when I was very poorly over the June half term meaning I had chance to read more (I'm not complaining at that!) I fell in love with the characters through the book and I am still reading Insurgent right now but I am really enjoying it too!
Weird Things Customers Say in bookshops was a gift from a friend for my birthday this month and My goodness I kept me up at night laughing! The stories/ conversations in this book you just couldn't make up but were still believable at the same time. It kind of made me want to work in a bookshop over the summer.

Favourite Film: The Great Gatsby
This Film was Perfect. The attention to detail form the book like the eyes of god Billboard and I know it's controversial about the way that Nick Carraway was shown to be Fitz-Gerald but I loved that you got to see that aftermath of it all from his perspective and despite being in love with the book I liked this addition and the visuals were all perfect the soundtrack is really amazing too I love the Lana del Ray , Florence and the Machine, Sia and the XX tracks especilly but the rap music really worked in the film too dispute the 1920s setting.  I just, I , I love it okay?!

 

Fashion Favourites:

            

Sinful Colours Nail Polish-Sole Mate: I mentioned this nail polish in my Mundane midweek post the other day and I am in love! Defiantly one for prom (minus the polka dots mind) and I think it's such a nice summer colour too!
This purse was from Primark and since I am a little a lot in love with studs and a full time Monochrome kind of a girl I just couldn't leave it behind!

Random Favourites:

            

Phone Case- I was lucky enough to get a new Phone for my Birthday and I love this case my sister got for me (I chose it though!) As I say I love Monochrome and the retro spotty design is right up my street I love it!

Sherbet Pips- Another Birthday treat! I can't leave these alone; one leads to another and next thing you know you wake up with a sore roof of the mouth from the sugar! It was worth it though 100% worth it...

Imagine Dragons: Night Visions- This album is like my morning album right now! My top 3 songs are On Top Of The World, Amsterdam and Underdog right now but there isn't a single song that I ever skip past!

Bastille: Bad Blood- This album is currently an Evening Playlist before bed on loop! My top three on this one are: Laura Palmer, Oblivion and These Streets but again I love the lot of them 2 amazing summer albums!

 

Favourite Quote:

I Love this "Fault in Our Stars" Quote. I love The Fault in our Stars Book and can't wait till the film with the gorgeous Ansel Elgort *Swoons* You guys probably think I only read books with films confirmed to have Ansel Elgort in them don't you (It's true.)

If you have a Favourite's Post I would love to read it or even if you just want to tell me feel free to comment them below!
