Divergent tag - video

Latest video is up on my Youtube! I filmed the Divergent tag since I loved the book so much. I actually read about 40 pages, then left it for a week. However I picked it up yesterday and finished it in that one day and barely put it down. At first I thought it was quite an average dystopia and similar to a lot of things I've read before but I eventually fell for it and became really attached to the characters. I recommend it to any of you looking for a (fairly light) teen book. It has a great story to it but a little romance enter twined (hence the teen popularity). I plan on reading the other two books in the series next and maybe doing a fashion video/post about inspired looks? Here is the video, as usual if you are reading through an app or an email you will have to click HERE to see and I'd love you to subscribe whilst you're at it!



Side note: how cool are these knee socks I picked up from Calzedonia? They remind me of what a Dauntless might wear in the book!


Have you read Divergent?

Birthday wishlist

Hello lovelies! My Birthday is coming up (March 5th to be precise) and I thought I would do a wishlist of the moment with a few things I'm loving.



For those of you who don't know (I think in this case that's few) I am obsessed with teddies. When I spotted this vintage sweatshirt on Asos it was love at first sight.



These shoes are so adorable. I basically live in different pairs of black ankle boots so I'm dying for some variety. I've seen a few of my favourite bloggers with similar ones and they always look so simple, fresh and cute. I can see these paired with some tie dye frilly socks.

I feel like this is such a wardrobe staple but I have barely endeavored into Maxi territory. You can layer it for Winter and it would also be fab in Summer on the beach. Also it's on sale for £10! Going to order this soon!





Desperate for a vinyl skirt at the moment, extra brownie points if it's a pastel one. I love the contrasting texture it can add to an outfit.

Franny and Zooey and Will Grayson, Will Grayson

 Both of these books have been highly recommended to me. The first by Tavi in her talk at the Opera house and the second by many of my friends. I have so many books I want to read and this is only the start of the list. 

Those are a few things I'm saving for/loving at the moment. Let me know if you find something you think I will like and tweet me HERE because I have been using my twitter a lot lately!

January

So January is over (what?) and I thought I'd do a sort of summary of the month, with journal pages, favourites, what I've been up to etc. I tried doing monthly favourites before but it didn't work for me so I'm trying this out instead. Firstly, here is a page of my travel scrapbook as I finally got around to documenting my New York trip, which was last Summer but better late then never right? 


A journal page of a tribute collage to this anime movie I watched recently called The girl who leapt through time which I quite liked.


Sketching some designs in my journal based on magazine finds.


I got new bookshelves in my room and have had lots of fun decorating them. I thrifted this cute oriental tin and used it to store pencils (you can also see some of my manga in the back). 


I went to a car boot sale on Sunday and picked up a cute Summery dress which I won't be able to wear for months but that's okay. One person was selling these cute bundles of fabric which I couldn't not photograph.


At the moment I'm loving Chanel's Spring 2014 collection and all the pastel tweeds incorporated. I have some fabric similar to this which I really want to try and make something with.



Notice the sneaky holographic bag in this one (which I'm also loving).

Finally, I have watched The Fault in our stars movie trailer about 17 times and I can't wait for it to come out! I liked the book a lot and it's really cool to watch things in your imagination become reality. Are you excited for The Fault in our stars?
