FAVOURITES · May

Apologies for the lack of posts, I am coming up to the end of my degree so have a lot of work to finish up, so again sorry to all zero of my readers. Here are my favourite things from over the course of May. Any images that are not my own click through to their original sources and I have tried to be as comprehensive with the links as I can so you can find more info, outlets where to buy products and where to watch/listen/consume anything else.

Lemonade (Music)
This is probably such a cliché to but on this month's favourites as I am sure it is on almost everyone else's but how could you not put a new Beyoncé album on your favourites? Tracks that stand out for me are Hold Up, Don't Hurt Yourself, 6 Inch and Freedom (even as I write this I feel should add more to that list).

Love (Television)
Netflix Originals are almost always a winner in my books and this one lived up to my expectations. It is probably easy to dismiss the show just because of it's name but I wouldn't describe it as a completely cliché show about romance. I really love the humour in this show, unfortunately as with all Netflix shows I binged too fast and now have to wait a year for more episodes.

High Waisted Washed Look Shorts (Fashion)
These are here because I feel like I have spent so much time looking for a new pair of shorts and finally have found the right ones with these. In my quest I found that all the shorts in the shops I looked in are way too short, fine if you want that but I just wanted some slightly longer ones, then ones that were almost long enough that were high waisted wouldn't fit right on the waist but would fit on the hips. So here they are just in time for summer and to make this find even sweeter I got them with a 20% discount.

Completely (Music)
This is the first Alpines song after their debut album Oasis and unsurprisingly it is amazing. I can't wait for the next album to come and maybe I'll catch them live again soon, despite living in London I have only managed to get to one oops.

FAVOURITES · March

Here are my favourite things from over the course of March. Any images that are not my own click through to their original sources and I have tried to be as comprehensive with the links as I can so you can find more info, outlets where to buy products and where to watch/listen/consume anything else.

Raised By Wolves (Television)
Back for a second series, without a doubt one of the funniest shows I have watched in the past few years. The show's premise takes inspiration from the writers', Caitlin and Caroline Moran, youth. Unfortunately as with all the greatest British shows there is only six episodes per series.

Dark Places (Book)
Although I started this at the start of December in my own true fashion I left it for a few months before picking it up again and reading it properly. This is the second book (third if you include The Grownup) by Gillian Flynn I have read. As with Gone Girl, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it kept me gripped through its entirety. Although I am not sure on my feelings about the final course of events of the story, without any spoilers I will say that maybe its wrapping up was all a bit too convenient.

Lip Glossy (Beauty)
As someone that rarely wears make-up it is perhaps odd that I have a piece in my favourites for this month. I got the Rosie for Autograph Lip Glossy in the colour Sweet Nothing Kisses, which is quite close to my normal lip colour therefore it gives my natural colour a bit more vibrancy and shine than normal. Although its name is Lip Glossy it doesn't have the shine you'd associate with a lipgloss, it is much more subtle like a lipstick which is personally a bonus. I think I might have to venture out to another colour as I would like something a bit different than my natural lip colour.

25 (Music)
Naturally as I saw her in March (see my post about it here) I listened to a lot of Adele leading up to and after the concert. Personal highlights on the album are Million Years Ago, River Lea and I Miss You.

Barbican Conservatory (Place)
After hearing about the conservatory a while ago I have really wanted to visit it. I have never been to the Barbican at all before but went on my birthday weekend. I really enjoyed the vast variety of plants in amongst the brutalist architecture of the Barbican. I will have to visit again soon and perhaps catch a film or an exhibition at the Barbican Centre whilst I'm there.
