    It’s ma birthday tomorrow guys! Wahoooo! As I’ll be turning 23 I’m semi-trying to convince myself that I’m kinda-sort-of an adult so can legitimately make a wish list of slightly more ‘grown up’ items than the usual. This includes a few home comfort bits, really awesome beauty favourites and ‘forever’ pieces for my wardrobe though if you look closely I have slipped in two less practically items (colouring books for grown ups and an NYPD tee…hellz yeah!)

  • Wanderlust | When In Rome

    Inspiration-Rome2015

    It’s official and booked. I’m heading to Rome this Summer for a holiday with the famalam.

    It’s quite a departure from my original plans to visit one of the Nordic countries – and literally the complete opposite temperature too lol – but I’m excited to soak up some sunshine and get my historical-geek hat on too (I’m a total sucker for classical history, it’s like my one regret not taking Classics for A Level).Not only that but I am crazy excited for the ridiculous amount of Italian food I will be consuming whilst out there and, yes, I am expecting to arrive back into the UK about a stone heavier for it – totally worth it.

    Hello and welcome to the latest edition of The Sunday Share Out! Grab your hot beverage of choice and check out which posts, videos and bloggers I’ve been loving from around the Interwebs lately.

    • Susie’s write up of the McQueen ‘Savage Beauty’ exhibit is one the best I’ve seen around and only makes me more excited that I’ve managed to book some time to go visit with Erin soon!
    • There’s a frankly, fantastic piece on Man Repeller about the ridiculousness of who Vogue included in their #BratPack article (personally I’m so confused why the likes of Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner are considered on the same level as Demi Moore and Molly Ringwald…)
    • My lovely friend Skye has THE BEST slogan t-shirt tutorial on her blog. Makers gonna make make make make make…*dances*
    • I really adore Rosie’s post on gallery hopping, I got really into this when I was in New York last year and I want to try it out in London when I have the time.
    • Jayne’s post on the common misconceptions about Lush is definitely worth a read even if you’re a hardcore fan – in fact especially if you’re a hardcore fan. There’s nothing absolutely horrific said about Lush in the post but points she makes but they are incredibly valid to consider.
    • I’ve just discovered Live Your Vie, a website dedicated to health and wellbeing. There’s a wealth of posts on both physical and mental health which are fantastically inspiring, all of which I’m furiously bookmarking as we speak!
    • The latest addition to Jacqui’s tastemakers series is my girl Taylor Swift – A+ for her beautiful illustration too!
    • The classic shirt dress is one of my list of style resolution items this year, so Claire’s recent 5 ways to wear styling post is super helpful for me at the moment!
    • Both Becky and Jennie’s recent posts on the opening of the new Hogwarts Express extension for the Leavesdon Harry Potter Studio Tour have got me majorly itching to go back. Everything is so pretty and perfect OMG take me back!
    • Sarah of Framboise Fashion shares her utterly d r e a m y snaps of her time at the Cinderella premiere.
    • OHMYGODYOUGUYS Mandy’s Hello Kitty biscuits are so fracking cute ^-^ I seriously need to give these a go and get some cute cookie cutters in my life.
    • The recent about fashion’s obsession with so called Neo-nostalgia from Dazed Digital is so on point.
    • And lastly, Blogger’s Bookshelf reviewer Christina has launched YA Love Magazine which does pretty much as it says on the tin, it’s an online literary magazine dedicated to the Young Adult genre and it’s rather fantastic! I’ll be doing a little feature post every other month so make sure you keep your eyes out for them in the coming months :)
