IT'S FRIDAY. I'M IN LOVE #12

So this is the almost weekly post in which I share with you all my favourite things from the past week. On with the favourites then...

ARCTIC MONKEYS - AM

Eeeeeek new album alert. If you are a regular reader of this blog you might of realised that I like Arctic Monkeys.....a hell of a lot, so you can imagine my excitement when Monday 9th September rolled around and the pre-ordered album arrived in the post. I love this album so effin' much! With each album their sound and songs always evolve into something new whilst maintaining that distinctive Arctic Monkeys sound and Alex Turner's lyrical poetry, and this new record has evolved into something slightly sleazy sounding...an after-dark album. I like their new heavier sound and I like the seventies suits and Elvis demeanor that Mr Turner is currently rocking plus the final track on the record is a version of John Cooper Clarke's I Wanna Be Yours.  If I was pushed for a favourite track I would say......um.....I CAN'T CHOOSE (sorry - not sorry!)

THESE SKORTS

Okay so I succumbed to all the fashion blog hype and picked myself up a pair of skorts off've eBay and I love them lots already. I got them in black because I just thought they'd be easier to style than the white. I really like how they look really sophisticated but how you can instantly grunge 'em up. 

THIS JUICE
Mmmm, this tastes so good, it's refreshing and apple-y (well it is apple juice Amy!). There ain't all that much to stay about it apart from that it tastes gorgeous.








THIS BOOK

I have finally got round to reading Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar, I haven't finished it yet but I already know this is gonna be in my favourites list. It is semi-autobiographical (the names are all changed) of the author's decline into depression; I know it sounds a bit glum but then I like books like that.

As always I hope you are all well and don't forget you can follow me on bloglovin here to stay up to date with my posts! WHAT HAVE YOU ALL BEEN LOVING THIS WEEK?

IT'S FRIDAY. I'M IN LOVE #4

The forth IT'S FRIDAY. I'M IN LOVE. Okay, so it might not be the forth consecutive one (I missed last weeks - oops!) but none the less it is still the forth one. So I guess this post will be a collection of all the things I have been loving during the past two weeks. Here we go:



KASABIAN LIVE! Hell yeah. If you ever get the chance to see these guys live then take it! They really know how to get a crowd going. My highlight was L.S.F. it really got the crowd going and it was just mesmerizing to listen to! 






GLASTONBURY. No I did not not go but still - ARCTIC MONKEYS HEADLINE SET.  Need I say more? Get on your dancing shoes. They were dressed to the nines and Alex Turner was channeling his inner-Elvis. It was a delight to watch and I would love to see them live someday but till then I'll just have to settle for watching them on the screen. 


VINYL RECORDS. Call me old-fashioned but there ain't nothing like listening to music on vinyl, just watching that pretty plastic spinning around and hearing the background crackle is just bliss.







LA ROCHE-POSAY LIPKAR BAUME AP. So I have really irritable itchy skin on my legs and I have never found anything that soothes and protects them until I gave this a try. Basically this rebuilds and replenishes the damaged lipids in your skin and provides a barrier of protection to your skin. I highly recommend this if you are prone to itchy, irritated skin. I imagine I will be reviewing this in mire depth soon.

SKINS THE FINALE SERIES!

Skins Fire was Effy’s story. Effy is probably my favourite female Skins character with Cassie coming a close second (so I can't wait for her story in a couple of weeks). Basically the finale series is made of six parts centered around Effy, Cassie and Cook (with each character getting two parts) now they have shed their teenage selves. So in Skins: Fire grungy Effy was no more now she this cool, clever, more sophisticated and sexy version of what she was. I still love how Skins is filmed and scripted. It's kinda sad how it is ending but it is definitely the right time. 

THIS DRESS!

It’s from River Island but I found it in the ASOS sale for £17.50. It’s floral and monochrome; one of my favourite combinations. Plus it’s a smock style which I find to be really flattering for my figure. It buttons all the way down so I’m pretty excited to style it unbuttoned over a pair of shorts and a vest. It also reminds me of that chilled, laidback L.A style which I really like.

THIS JEWELLERY COMBINATION:

WATCH - eBay / AMBER RING - My mum's / SILVER RINGS - Kukee / GOLD RINGS - eBay / NECKLACE - Kukee / SKULL BRACELET - eBay.

These are the pieces I've been mainly wearing these past few days. At the moment I prefer silver jewellery, It goes with more things plus it just looks more elegant and simple.


Okay so that's all I've been loving throughout these past two weeks! As always I hope you are all well and enjoying this glorious sunshine (ahh I love the scent of my skin sizzling in the heat).

WHAT HAVE YOU ALL BE LOVING LATELY?
