December Favourites!
Can you believe it? I am now mid way through my daily blogging Xmas week. It has been so much fun. I hope you all had a great Christmas yesterday, I know I did I actually had a little internet detox and it was nice and refreshing. Today I wanted to do a monthly favourites blog as I haven't done one in a few months. I really enjoy reading favourites posts within other blogs so like to include mine in my blog.
To Do Lists!!
For the last few months in particular I have been loving using a white board. Using a white board has become part of my daily routine, whereby every night I write down a 'To Do' list for the following day. This helps in feeling like you are closer to what you need to do and achieve and you get a sense of satisfaction throughout the day as you can tick things off your lists.

Fashion Favourites // November
Today I am going to share with you some of my Fashion Favourites from over the last couple of months. It has actually been a while since I have done a blog post of this nature and I felt it was about time, as I really love fashion. When I find clothes that I love to wear I thought why not share them with my readers.
Maniere De Voir | http://www.manieredevoir.com
I have only recently just come across Maniere De Voir Clothing and was instantly drawn to these 'Zip' style leggings. They come true to size and although they might not look it they are extremely comfortable. I love the fact you can alter and change the zips to suit different outfits or weather situations.

Monthly Favourites | September 2014
Where has this last month gone, it's the end of September already... which means another monthly favourites blog post for you all to enjoy.
Make Up and Hair Products
Make Up and Hair Products
So firstly this month I wanted to talk make up and hair products, as I went to my half sister’s wedding last weekend which was a beautiful experience. So with this event coming up I thought it was only right that I did some research on make up. I do not usually wear make up but knew I had to dress up and make an effort for this occasion. I watched a few beauty video’s and had seen a particular product reviewed and advertised a lot over the web and that was this Rimmel foundation. I have found this foundation has good coverage and have loved it so far.
The next product I want to talk about is by Toni & Guy, which is 'label.m' hair colour sprays. During my teenage years in particular I experimented with a little funky colour in my hair and have always loved expressing myself through hair choices and being a little creative. I love my ombre hair but I was getting bored, so I decided to have a bit of an impulse buy whilst I was buying some other bits and this was the result in that.

Monthly Favourites | August 2014
So it's that transition time of the year, where Summer is winding down and Autumn is coming round. Which means it's that time again to share with you some of my favourite things I have been loving in the month of August!
TV Series
Firstly I wanted to mention TV Series's because I'll be honest, the only TV I really watch is on BBC Three as they show some cool content! I like to watch series's, whether that be on YouTube or wherever. So the TV Series I am currently loving at the moment is of course on BBC Three and that's 'Cuckoo'. I really loved the first season and was excited for it to be back on screen. However I must admit, it has taken a while to adjust to the new concept behind the show and however despite the criticism I have read online, I still find myself hooked on watching the series.
Hair Care Products
With an important wedding coming up and me having ombre hair, I felt I needed to do some research into what I could do to take care of my hair better. Not just for the wedding but for general every day life. This is quite an unusual thing for me, as I am not really into beauty and hair products so it is a new area I wanted to explore.

Monthly Favourites | July 2014
It's that time again where I share with you what I am loving this month, so here are my July Favourites.
Netflix
Netflix
Firstly is Netflix, when ever I have time to relax and have some "me" time, with the goings on of life and work, I tend to go onto Netflix. I have currently found myself a little addicted to the series 'Orange Is The New Black' and I have just finished Season 1, about to start Season 2 of the series.
I particularly like the way the series plays between the lives of each character so you learn more about each of them. In each episode of the series, it flicks between the past and present, and I think this is a really cool concept to watch and a great way to show what happened and how they got where they are to what they are up to now.

In fact this month Orange Is The New Black has been nominated for 12 Emmy Nomations which I think speaks for itself! Also on Netflix, I have been loving Adventure Time, as a designer animation styles interest me, so the Anime section on Netflix is bound to be used a lot more over the next coming months.
Summer
This month, lets be honest who isn't loving Summer, especially with the weather we have been getting here in the UK at the moment! As I write this it has been very hot here in the UK for the last two weeks and having personally had a Summer Break, I was refreshed to come back and get stuck into blogging, designing, and creating content. I have been filming for a number of different things and have a lot of new idea's and projects to share with you in the next month. Summer for me is a great time, to spend with family and enjoy life as everyone breaks up from work and school for a small time period.
London
My City, I have said it before and I will say it again, there is NOTHING like London in the Summer, I just love this place. The fact I am able to travel and see such a beautiful place often, is pretty special. For those who maybe don't get to visit London, or haven't been yet I have taken a few pictures to share with you here! Please go ahead and follow me on Instagram for more of my adventures in pictures and what I get up to as I am using it a lot more now.

Monthly Favourites | June 2014
Hey everyone,
I feel it is only right that I start off this months favourites with none other then my current favourite album that has been on REPEAT since it came out and that is 'Multiply' by the incredibly talented Ed Sheeran.
My favourite song's on this album are currently 'Thinking Out Loud', 'Don't', 'Runaway' and 'Photograph'. I am really loving this album. I love the fact that Ed has kept his soul and acoustic persona but experimented with rap and hip hop elements and I really like this vibe from him. This will defiantly be my 2014 summer album.
My personal favourites are 'What I do', 'USH March' 'Putting In Work' and 'My Inspiration'. This album is definitely worth checking out for those music lovers out there who appreciate real honest music, excellent lyrical content and great talent!
You can have a listen to and purchase on I-Tunes here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/headliner/id887957517
I have been loving tumblr, if you follow me on Instagram you will know that I do have a love for quotes and therefore have to include tumbler in this months favourites. I have also been loving 'Mextures' which is an App I use and one that I will be using in the future for my Instagram pictures. The third and final app I am going to mention this month is Netflix, I am excited to use this and get into some series's such as 'Orange Is The New Black'.
This month I have been loving Short-Films, being a creator of content and also watching content created by other creators, I enjoy watching Short-Films. I feel YouTube is a great platform for people to do their thing.. and there are video's out there that are entertaining.
It's that time again where I share with you my monthly fav's!

Monthly Favourites | May
Hey everyone,
So today I am going to share with you some of my 'May' favourites. If you watch YouTube like me then you would of perhaps seen the tag 'Monthly Favourites' going around. I decided to turn this video tag into a blog idea because I felt it was a nice way to collectively round up the month and let you guys know what I am loving!
Apps
Apps, well where do I start. This month, I have been exploring different apps and often see people wanting to know what other people have on their phones. So I thought I'd incorporate this into my blog. The first and main app I have been loving this month is 'Spotify' - Spotify is a commercial streaming of music, it allows you to listen to all your favourite songs for FREE - It's great! I personally find this a great App to explore new music and I for one love finding new songs and artists that I haven't yet discovered. I also love that it has playlists for all types of situations and moods, to suit you.
Music
So the other day when I was out shopping, I brought myself some Red Hightop's and if you read my last fashion post you would know that as well as high tops, I do love my Snapbacks and finding new brands. One of the brands I really like at the moment is 'Young and Reckless' so I brought myself a Red Bandana Y&R Snapback to go with my Hightop's.

Other apps I am currently loving is the usual Instagram etc, but right now 'Notes' is another favourite. I have been loving 'Notes' for ages but only just noticed that 'Notes' are automatically connected to my Macbook so I can write all my idea's into my phone and they will be transferred to my Mac - handy for those creatives out there, who are on the go!
Music
Next I want to share with you some song's that I personally have been loving this month, starting with Ed Sheeran. I have been a fan of Ed Sheeran from the very early day's in his career when he first made an appearance on SBTV. So to finally hear some new music from him this month, was pretty exciting! I have also been loving artists such as Austin Mahone, Sam Smith, Katy B and Max Milner.
Track-List
1) Sam Smith - Money On My Mind
2) Austin Mahone - All I Ever Need
3) Ed Sheeran - Don't
4) Ed Sheeran - Take Me Back
5) Katy B - Crying For No Reason
6) Kirk Franklin - I Smile
7) The Vamps - Another World
8) The Vamps - Somebody
9) Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
10) Avicil - Hey Brother
3) Ed Sheeran - Don't

7) The Vamps - Another World
8) The Vamps - Somebody
9) Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
10) Avicil - Hey Brother
Fashion
Fashion, well for the majority of this year I have been loving my graphic tee's and anything black and white. Though this seems to be an occurring theme throughout my wardrobe of 2014 so far, but now I am now loving anything 'Red'. So after watching Kieszas's Hideaway video and seeing a few instagram posts, I became obsessed with these 'Red' trainers and knew I needed to get a pair.
So the other day when I was out shopping, I brought myself some Red Hightop's and if you read my last fashion post you would know that as well as high tops, I do love my Snapbacks and finding new brands. One of the brands I really like at the moment is 'Young and Reckless' so I brought myself a Red Bandana Y&R Snapback to go with my Hightop's.
Other Clothing Brands to look out for are that I really like right now are USH Clothing, Who Clothing and Ginge London.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, I certainly enjoyed writing it!

My Fashion Favs!
Hey everyone,
So today I am going to give you an insight into my wardrobe, what I wear and what Im loving this year in term's of fashion!
Bracelets | Wrist wear
First up is wrist wear, I feel like bracelets are an essential part of my every day outfit! I have quite a collection of them now and I feel that where possible it is a necessity to accessorise my outfit. In the picture below you can see a few of my favourite bracelets. One of my favourites from this picture, is the gold and black spiked bracelet which I purchased from River Island earlier this year. The other being the black and silver band, which is from an Independent company called 'The Believe Brand'. When looking to purchase items I often look at the company history, the concept behind them and I was inspired with what this company were about, so I decided to buy one and support the cause.
Supras | High Tops
At the moment I am currently wearing my all black glitter High Top's which I purchased from River Island a few month's back for every day wear. They are so comfy, they look great and they go with everything. As well as these I have also been wearing my leopard print Supra's that I brought earlier this year. I love High Top's in general, because they are the style of shoe I prefer to wear, and they suit me, my lifestyle/personality.
Joggers | 'Leather Look'
So in the fashion trend's at the moment is the 'Leather Look' something I am loving!
When I was younger I used to be quite sporty, and I liked my 'Comfortable Clothes' so when Jogger's came into fashion I was quite excited. Earlier this year I purchased my 'Graffiti' syle jogger's and I absolutely loved them! So this month I decided to purchase some 'Leather Look' joggers. As I am loving the 'Leather Look' at the moment as well as anything black and white, I will definitely be looking out for anything else in this style.
Clothing Brand's | Independent
'Who Clothing' and 'Fintagewear' are two of my favourite Independent street wear brands. I am always looking for upcoming brand's as I feel sometimes they offer the best urban fashion. I am also currently loving 'Forever 21' and this week I purchased a black and white 'Baller' t-shirt which I love!
Snapback's | Hats
And of course if you know me, you will know about my love for snapback's! My current favourite's are my Fresh Ego Kid 'Love snapback', and my 'Who Clothing' one. However I am loving the look of Independent Brand 'Ginge London', their range is awesome! I have also been looking at clothing line 'Dope Couture' and I'm loving there stuff too!
