Another month has gone by and that means its time for one of my favourite posts!
My Monthly Favourites!
Beauty/Fashion
For beauty products this month i have really been loving burgundy nail polish. We're coming in to autumn and burgundy and reds are really big at the moment and i love it, its such a warm colour and will look great with a number of outfits. It's also great for you make up fanatics who live by the rule "matching lips and fingertips" as dark lips in plum and deep red shades are another thing i am seeing everywhere this autumn.
A personal fashion favourite for me this month has been sheer shirts, they came into fashion a while back in plain colours but now you can buy all sorts, eg pastel polka dots, stripes, my most recent purchase was this pink and white shirt with black cuffs and collar and its perfect for one of those days when you feel like putting in a bit more of an effort when in actual fact you're just in jeans and a top. I love wearing them both tucked in and loose, with skirts and trousers, its one of those pieces you can squeeze a good few outfits from, perfect for those of us who cant afford a new outfit every day of week.
My next two favourites are Homeware.
If you didn't know already i have just started my second year at university which means i've moved to a new flat and in the process picked up a few things for my bedroom.
1) The first item is this lavender scented reed diffuser, i think these are a great invention for emitting a subtle scent around the room to freshen things up. It is a glass bottle of scented oil which diffuses up the reed sticks when they are placed in and results in a luxurious aroma emulating around the room. The bottle comes with a rubber stopper in the top which you have to remove before inserting the reeds yourself. One thing i will mention is that they are not extremely potent and give off a scent more like a bunch of flowers would than an aerosol air freshener. I have mine above my bed as i find the whiffs of lavender are especially soothing when i go to sleep. You can buy these diffusers in a range of scents and sizes and what i love about them is that they last for a good few months and only require the occasional turning over of the reeds every week or so just to refresh the scent in the room.
2) Secondly is this picturesque mirror i got from my new favourite shop B and M Bargains! its such a good place to find items for bargain prices and it sells pretty much everything. This mirror was such a steal for only £19.99 and it looks and feels amazing quality. What i especially love about this mirror is that it has 3 panels which allows you to view your face at every angle which i have found extremely helpful when doing my hair and make up.
Moving away from the my more materialistic favourites i am going to mention a couple of my...
TV Favourites
1) Doctor who, series 8 has recently made its return starring Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor and Jenna Louise Coleman continues as his assistant Clara. I've always been a fan of doctor who and fell in love with Matt Smith's portrayal of the doctor and his relationship with Clara, so naturally i was skeptical of the new Doctor but i have been pleasantly surprised and love the dynamic between Clara and the new Doctor, perhaps i will have a new ship to add to my list of OTP'S, think the name they have been donned is Whouffaldi (im sure mega fans will be able to work it out).
2) Secondly is Once Upon a Time which started this week for its 4th season and has introduced the well loved Frozen characters to the cast. I only began watching this show in September and managed to binge watch all 3 seasons within a month. The first episode of season 4 was great and im really excited to see whats to come in the next episodes. This show is perfect if you love all things Disney and fairy tale, I definitely recommend this as a must see TV show.
