Song of the Weeks #13

I had never heard of Eels until I met my boyfriend.

I am really glad he introduced me for this reason...

In General

I thought I would share with you some of the new things I have purchased over the past couple of days.

The new sunnies, to be honest I probably didn't need to buy another pair because I seem to own quite a few already. However, for fiver you can't complain right?

Jojoba oil, I heard that Jojoba oil is very good for both your skin and your hair.  I think I bought this on Amazon for like £3.50 I believe. I am quite excited to use it, especially on my hair because for some reason I tend to get quite a dry scalp.  (Cue the sympathy...guys...hello?) 

Body Shop dry brush, brushing dry skin is supposed to help with circulation, cellulite as well has brushing off dead skin and stuffs. Apparently all you do is just brush over your legs and tummy area before jumping in the shower and then exfoliate as normal and use lots of moisturiser. So this little baby may come in handy in early preparation for my holiday.  

Nivea day cream, this is my second  bottle of this stuff. I'm not the kind of person who tends to stick to one facial moisturiser. I think that I am just trying a few different ones out to find 'the one' that I will religiously use for the rest of my life. The way this is going, this could potentially be the winner.

Anyways, the other week Elliot and I got our invitation to his sisters wedding finallllly. How exciting! They are so nice.

Song of the Week #12

One of my favourite all time album's is Adele 19. Before that famous performance of hers at the Brit awards she wasn't overly popular. Well she was, but not everyone had heard of her, had her music and listened to it. Then all of a sudden, within days, she was the most popular artist in the world. 21 seems to be many peoples favourite, but in all honesty I'm not overly keen. I enjoy some of the songs don't get me wrong, but for me, it doesn't contain the same rawness that her first album does. She wrote lots of the songs when she was like 15/16 and I was that age when the first album was released. I was immediately in love and introduced her to all of my friends, who like many others in the country, didn't really take notice until the Brits.

I can relate to a lot of the songs and know every single one like the back of my hand. Its the kind of music that although the story is sad you can listen to it whatever mood you are in.

This is my favourite song off of 19.

Is any one else on Pinterest?

I don't know about you but I am completely obsessed with it. I can literally spend hours on there just having a butchers at all these different things.  Half of the time, I can get so engrossed that I actually forget to pin stuff.  I have managed to get my sister and a couple of my friends addicted too.  I don't actually add my own pictures or anything like that, but I just really love seeing what other things people are putting up.

These are just a few pins that are on my boards.

I have added a button on my sidebar to follow me if you wish :)

#NLAW13

So I was invited by New Look to go to their A/W13 collection customer preview day. I was able to bring a guest and so dragged my sister along, I say dragged as though she didn't want to come, but of course she did.  Anywho, we went off to New Look Head Office in London and was given our VIP bands to put on our wrists and were taken downstairs to have a cheeky little look. We had a short chat with a lovely man who gave us some comment cards and a scanner so that we could swipe the things that we liked so that they knew what was most popular and stuffs.

Luckily for me, by the looks of things grunge is still very on trend for the colder months of this year along with lots of plaid & dark floral prints. The shoes & jewellery...ahh maaaa gawd! In that sense NL seem to have upped their game in my opinion. Typical me though, I scanned a few too many pairs of boots and lots of coats & jackets...I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing.

A couple of drinks, pretzels & snaps later we were on our way to Oxford Street for a quick browse with goody bags in hand.

The only downers of the evening were that is was raining and on our way home there was an announcement just as we were about to get on the tube telling us that the Victoria line had been suspended because of a person under the train. A bit grim & sad when I think about it now, but I can assure you last night I wasn't so sympathetic when we were diverting ourselves around London.

Overall though, it was a good evening and I am excited for all of these new clothes to appear in shops.

Song of the Week #11

Who doesn't love a bit of Kate Nash?

For me her music and lyrics are the typical girl loves boy kinda thing. But not in a horrid and cheesy pop kind of way. It's different. Her songs have edge as does her style of singing and just her in general to be honest with you. Her first album will always be my favourite, it brings back so many memories for me of times with my friends and family and personal things that went on in my teenage life.
