Fabulous Fall

I feel very festive today and I'm attracted to all things Autumn. I'm craving autumn/winter clothes shopping, hot chocolate, my duvet and cosy blankets, being snuggled up on the sofa watching films, carving pumpkins, going on an autumn stroll in the forest and lots of thick grandad jumpers. Oh and an open fire. Autumn is my favourite time of year, not just because it holds my birthday, but because the lead up to Christmas is super exciting and cosy, and the transformation from summer clothes to winter clothes just really excites me. (I know how sad I am, no need to tell me) 

cozy, warm


Autumn"Bobbing for apples"-styled decor. Apples & candles floating in tub. Can be used as a centerpiece or on a buffet table. Can be adapted to use at an entrance. Would use waterproof battery operated tealights.

Band Review: Fenech-Soler

Fenech-Soler have been a band since 2006 from Northamptonshire. Their debut, self titled album was released in 2010 featuring tracks such as Lies, Stop And Stare and Demons. This week was the release of their second album Rituals

I have seen the band twice, at Blissfields Festival and at Victorious Festival, and they are an incredibly good live band. When I first saw the band (Blissfields) I was unaware of who they are and what music they play but when I heard them I knew I'd like them. After the festival, I was intrigued and had to hear more of their music. I was thrilled when I realised that the band were due to play at Victorious Festival as I had been listening to their debut album non-stop. I managed to get to the front of the crowd at Victorious and take some snaps of the band. 




Personally, I really enjoy the band's music and I would most definitely recommend them to others. My favourite songs from Rituals are: All I Know, Last Forever and Magnetic, and my favourites from Fenech-Soler are: Golden SunStop And Stare and Demons

Summer Breeze

Hello there! How're you doing? Sorry it's been a VERY long time since my last post but recently I have been a busy bee. Summer is over and Autumn is here, my favourite time of the year. I'm going to do a quick summer catch up and show you a few things I have been up to over the summer.

It's now the end of September and I've been meaning to write this post for about a month but in other news, I've been at college for 3 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it and I'm really happy about the courses I've chosen to take. I've got some ideas for some more posts so hopefully I won't leave it too long until the next one.

Laptop Meltdown

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to finish the "30 Day Snap" due to my laptop taking a wrong turn. Luckily it is on the mend now, but beforehand it is going to have to be completely wiped, therefore losing all of my pictures from the past 3 years which is a huge shame. This post was basically just to say that I am still here and I haven't gone anywhere its just I can only access my blog from the iPhone mobile app which isn't very blog friendly so I won't be posting anything until I get my laptop back. Sorry for the lack of posts.
