October Favourites

Music

 I seen Johnny Marr this month :) I had such a great night. He was playing at the Olympia in Dublin. I had a seated ticket but I think for that venue you really need to stand to see anything. Johnny was just a little blob on stage for the most part hehe I've really gotten into his latest album Playland since the gig. He's releasing a live album called Adrenalin Baby on the 13th of November so I can't wait for that. I think its available to stream on spotify now. After the concert, I watched Johnny walk to his taxi. I got this blurry photo as evidence. It's not his most attractive picture but he kept running away when I was trying to take a picture hehe

Tv

 I watched nine movies this month but I didn't really like any of them so I've been drawn more to tv. I'm watching the new series of American Horror Story. I like Hotel a lot better than Freakshow but I don't like it as much as the first three series. The hotel really reminds me of The Chelsea Hotel. I think it feels like New York even though its set in Los Angeles. I miss Jessica Lange but Lady Gaga is growing on me. I've also been watching The Walking Dead, I'm on episode three so don't tell me what happened to Glenn hehe I can't wait to start watching The Vampire Dairies. I basically like anything that's cheesy and has vampires/zombies in it :P

Fashion and Beauty

I love Halloween themed fashion and beauty. The Lazy Oaf x Casper collaboration is so cute and perfect for Halloween themed outfits. I really love this pink fluffy jumper and this sheer dress. Topshop always have such a nice collection for Halloween. The best part is most of it is wearable throughout Autumn and Winter. I also love the Halloween themed collection at Lush. I cant wait to buy some of their Christmas collection next month. Regal Rose is a great place to get Halloween themed accessories, They sell the coolest rings. Can we just extend Halloween to include all of November please

Halloween

I didn't have much planned for Halloween this year but I did however dress up as this batgirl type thing hehe you can read the details in the post below. I also carved a pumpkin but I ended up making it look a lot more happy than scary. Although its smile is a little creepy. What did you dress up for Halloween? If you've posted your Halloween outfit then leave a link below :)

Halloween

mask - h&m

black lipstick - topshop

velvet choker - river island

top - h&m

I bought this mask from h&m last year but I didn't wear it so I thought I'd pull it out for the occasion. I got the black lipstick from Topshop two years ago, they don't seem to make them anymore. I think h&m might sell something similar though. I hope you had a nice Halloween :)

Easy Money

top - topshop

skirt - h&m

bag - topshop

boots - greens

I got my haircut today, I really like the length this time :) I love this bag so much, the tassles are such a cool detail, even though they make opening and closing the bag really awkward. I went to Johnny Marr a week ago and it was amazing. I'd say it was one of the most enjoyable gigs I've been to. I waited at the stage door afterwards and I watched him walk to his taxi, it was the best five seconds!

September Favourites

I've decided to try something new since I don't have time to update as regularly these days. I've  created a list of all the things I've been enjoying in September. I hope to make this a regular thing so I'll keep this blog semi updated :)

Music

 I've been loving an album by Tess Parks and Anton Newcombe called I Declare Nothing. It was released earlier this year and my favourite song is Cocaine Cat. If you like The Brian Jonestown Massacre then you should give this a shot. Tess Parks has a great voice and I've been loving her solo album Blood Hot too. My favourite song from it is Somedays. I've also been listening to Cherry Glazerr, The Raveonettes, Alvvays and Wolf Alice.

Film

My favourite film this month is Legend. It tells the story of Reggie and Ronnie Kray, both played by Tom Hardy, who became two of the most notorious criminals of the sixties. The story is narrated by Reggie's wife, played by Emily Browning. I loved the witty dialogue and Tom Hardy's performance is great. I also couldn't help but love all of Emily Browning's dresses. I just want to live in the sixties, okay? I've been watching a lot of crime films for college and I think I'm really starting to develop a liking for this genre. 

Tv

I love This Is England 90. I've always liked the This Is England series and I was so excited (and a little saddened) to see the release of the final series. It's the first time I've watched the series as it is released on television so it makes it even more exciting to wait for each weeks episode. The final episode is feature length and its on as we speak... eek. You can watch it here.

Fashion

I've been following London fashion week on social media this month and I loved the "girly aesthetic" that many of the designers celebrated - the over sized tulle dresses at Molly Goddard, the confetti hair and skateboards at Ashish, the mermaids at Sophia Webster. Just Girly Things. I've also been taking advantage of the 20% student discount in high street stores like Topshop, River Island, H&M and New Look. It's the last year that I'll have access to student discounts so I had to take advantage (that's my excuse). If you're a student you can access lots more discounts on high street and online stores with unidays. 

Youtube

I've been watching a lot of videos of youtube recently because I don't have a tv in my house anymore and youtube is filling that empty space in my life. I've been loving monthly favourites (hence the idea for this post), fashion and beauty hauls and weekly vlogs. My favourite channels are Amy Valentine, Helen Anderson, Zoella and Leanne Woodfull. Mostly bloggers as you can see. I've also been liking The Future of Fashion documentary with Alexa Chung on Vogue's channel.
