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) 

All photos above are part of my 'Autumn' board on Pinterest, which you can view HERE, the link will also show you the sources for the photos as none are my own.

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 Sun, Stop 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.

Bloglovin'

As you probably know by now "Google Friend Contact" is being shut down (boo) so everyone is moving over to "Bloglovin'" for followers. I finally waved goodbye to GFC and have become a bloglovin' newbie.

Here's a link to my bloglovin' profile, it would be lovely if you'd follow me over there.

30 day snap

The idea for this post came from Sprinkle of Glitter's post about the 30 day snap. I was a bit hasty to begin with but then decided I'd give it a go because I'd recently just bought a new fancy pants camera (Canon 1100D) and thought this was a brilliant way to test it out. All you have to do is take a picture every day for the month of June and voila. This is the blog post I shall be uploading my daily pictures on to keep them all in one place so feel free to check back every few days. I will of course be posting on twitter everyday when I have updated it so keep and eye out over there. Lets go!

The End Is Nigh

Woah, 2013 has already flown by and I feel like I've done nothing with my time, except go to the odd gig or... seven. I cannot believe that finally, after 12 years of being at various schools I am nearly at the end, I can see it but I'm not quite there yet.
I won't quite know what to do with myself when I have left, no revision to be doing, no dragging myself out of bed at 7am every day, no longer having to see some people I have known longer than I can remember. It is all just a strange concept and at the moment, I am very unclear of how I feel about it.
I know that I am glad to be leaving school, but there's a part of me that will miss it, not necessarily some of the people, but just school in general.

However, I cannot wait to go to college! I am super duper looking forward to no longer being forced to learn subjects I don't want to learn (cough geography, science and german cough). Being able to finally do what I want to do excites me and hopefully it will bring a whole new adventure for me, finally I can be the person I want to be! Goodbye weirdo school girl and bonjour even weirder college student.
