Sunday Summary // Week 4

What I'm watching

This week I watched Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring, and The Two Towers for the first time ever! And I'm pleased to announce I loved it! I really don't know why it's taken me so long... I've watched the Hobbit a while back but was going to wait for the second one to come out before  saw the Lord of the Rings films. Anyway, I saw the trailer in the cinema and got way too excited. 

Return of the King - I'm coming for you.

What I'm listening to 

I'm back to Uni this week which means train rides and trecks. The soundtrack for my journeys have been courtesy of We Are The Ocean. My boyfriend doesn't much enjoy them, they aren't really his cup of tea, so the only times I really get to listen and enjoy my post-hardcore is when I'm alone. It's okay though, means I can go ahead and get lost in it - although singing my little heart out on the train is just disturbing for everyone...

What I'm reading

 It's not my usual choice, but I've just began reading Will Self - Walking Through Hollywood. It was one of my set books for uni last year but I never got round to starting it. It probably won't help me much work wise, but most of the books I was set last year were awesome! I've been really lucky with my reading lists so I thought I may as well give it a go. I'm only a couple of chapters in but I'll let you know how it is.

What I'm craving

A lemon and poppy seed muffin from Starbucks.

You know, I heard a story once about a woman who'd ate a poppy seed bagel for breakfast and later on in the day failed a drugs test, testing positive for heroin. Not sure if it's true but that's pretty deep if it is! Poor lady.

What I'm lusting after 

Oh god... There's one hell of a list coming! I've been doing my Christmas list this week so there's many, many goodies I have my eye on. Here's just a few...

Vagabond Leather Lace-up Boots - Urban Outfitters // The Penny Bag - Marc B - Topshop // Polo Shirt Dress - Fred Perry - ARK // Lilah Jumpsuit & Maude Floral Playsuit - Motel - ARK

What I'm buying 

NOTHING :'(

Ish... I've bought some more bits for the jewellery business, I have some cameo cabochons' on their way and some cute little bow shaped connectors as well as a load of beads. I'm super giddy to get designing!

I've also picked up a few small bits for Christmas, but nothing super exciting.

What I'm wishing 

That December would get here already, I want to put up our tree! // For the 18th - I'm super excited to get my website online! // That I had more winter clothes - A shopping trip is definitely due next week // And I'm still waiting for the snow to fall... sigh! 

Sunday Summary // Week 3

What I'm watching

I'm a bit of a pussy with scary films but true to tradition, on Halloween we sat down to watch The Awakening. I actually really enjoyed it! It's a period film which is an instant thumbs up from me, and doesn't exactly follow the traditional horror story layout - it's more beefy in the story department. And it has an amazing twist to the ending, pulled at my heart strings! 
Anyway, if you haven't seen in give it a try, it's not that scary so everyone can give it a go! 

What I'm listening to 

AM - Arctic Monkeys. These guys are my absolute favourite band and have been for the last decade or so! Their last album  wasn't amazing but they're definately back to their old selves and this album proves that. 
I love each and every song which features - seriously don't think I'll ever tire of these folks. 

What I'm reading

I've just began re-reading Cecilia Aherns - Where Rainbows End. It's one of my favourite novels by one of my favourite authors. Cecilia Ahern writes with a certain magical quality and her novels read almost as adult fairy tales. If you ever need a release from reality or a refreshing reminder of the innocence of childhood and that firm belief that all life is doused in magic, read one of her novels! I love, Thanks for the Memories and The Gift - a goodie for the Christmas period! 

What I'm craving

I've been really naughty this week... My boyfriend received his grade for his masters so we've been celebrating all weekend! I made a cake (which is gone!), we bought some truffles and have plied ourselves with alcohol. 
There's no room for craving...

What I'm lusting after 

Its all been a little jewellery orientated this week... I've been checking out stockists online and drawing up a few designs trying to decide what goodies I want! I'm not sharing though, you'll have to wait and see when the online shop goes live. 
Get excited!

The only other thing I really need is the 'Why'd you only call me when your high' merch tee from the recent tour, though I can't seem to find it anywhere online :( booo!

What I'm buying 

I've been good this week. The only major splurge was my hair! I've had it stripped back and dyed a lovely chocolate brown colour. The idea was to go as close to my natural colour as possible so I can quit dying it and let it grow without fussing about my roots. I adore it! The lovely Kristian took care of me, he gave me a gorgeous finish and now I am able to happily wear it without my extensions. 
I'm like a new woman! 

What I'm wishing 

That the snow would fall already // That chocolate wasn't so bad for you // That I had a single idea toward Christmas gifts // That I had more fluffy pj's! // That the Christmas market would get going! 
(Dropping the C-bomb a little early... I'm excited, sue me.)
