If you knew me you'd know that this obviously isn't everything I want, but these are the things I genuinely think I will buy. I don't really have a ''style'' like most people, I just buy what I like and hope I can find a way of incorporating it into my wardrobe! I'll probably make a post if I buy anything in this so yeah... :-)

Summer reading list.

Since my job is to sit by a pool  for 5 hours a day I'm going to be reading a lot of books this summer! So I thought I'd do a list of all the books I'll be reading (mainly old ones that I loved so much I re-read them constantly).

  • All of Lindsey Kelk's ''I heart'' series
  • Harry Potter 1-7 by J K Rowling (obviously)
  • The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins 
  • Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
  • Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
  • Pear Shaped by Stella Newman
  • Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Claudia Carroll
  • Northern Lights by Philip Pullman 
  • and undoubtedly many more that I'll pick up along the way!
I tend to read super fast though, today I read ''I Heart New York'' by Lindsey Kelk and two thirds of ''Go Ask Alice'' in 4 hours! So if anyone has any book recommendations based on the ones I've mentioned please let me know :-) x

Retail Therapy

Does anybody else love fabric shopping or am I just a massive weirdo? Honestly I could spend hours just wandering around! Today I went to my local fabric shop -via body shop- and bought lots of material I have no time to do anything with.
  • Black sheer chiffon
  • Purple and black snake print cotton
  • Blue and white Aztec silk
  • Mint green sheer chiffon
  • Blue and white floral cotton

Buttons.

20 zips for £1!
Random trimmings

What I bought:
  • Wild Rose hand cream with SPF 15
  • Pink Grapefruit shower gel
  • Pink Grapefruit hand cleanser (smells heavenly).
  • Satsuma Puree body lotion
  • Pink Grapefruit bar soap
  • Mango bar soap
  • Watermelon 'Born Lippy' lip balm
  • Raspberry 'Born Lippy' lip balm
  • Rainforest Moisture hair butter for dry hair
  • Spa Wisdom body polisher
And then I bought the exact same things again for my sister as a post baby present
(expect a post about that when he arrives!)
Tomorrow is my induction day for my new job (pool attendant) and I am simultaneously excited and crapping myself. The worst part is definitely going to be waking up at half seven every morning for the rest of the summer! Best parts? Probably being paid to sunbathe, unlimited pool access and 4 hour breaks :) x

First post!

I hate making first posts on blogs, it just feels so awkward. Anyway. I'll be using this as more of a personal blog/diary than my tumblr. Creative soul that I am, I really enjoy art, fashion, music and writing/reading, so my posts will mainly consist of those things as well as things I've done/places I've been.


My desk. Aka favourite place in the world

Notebooks and some drawings I did earlier.


Messy, messy desk.
And finally, a picture of my pony, because she's great.
