    – Under 200 days! – Day #109 – Day #110 – Started reading some Plath – Day #111 – On my ipod in tribute to Glee returning – Day #112 – Health kick – Day #113 – heading into town on the train – evening sky – Beauty & the Beast am-dram production with friends – 

    A very, cold and busy week but hallelujah the snow has now gone! As nice as it was to see the world surrounded by wonderful white flurries, the aftermath was not so fun. Normality seems to have come back and the January blues are ever present everywhere at the moment. But never fear! Music, books and a night out at the theatre were just enough to keep me going this week. As well as the thought of investing in a Kindle come payday, I promise I’m not abandoning my books though! If anything it’ll hopefully help me read more often. On a book related note I’ve started reading the first of my ‘Books I Vow To Read in 2013‘ list, The Bell Jar. Am loving it so far and hope to review it at some point on Blogger’s Bookshelf.
    In more relevant news, the SAG’s are on tonight and after fawning over the Spring Couture collections I’m hoping to see some beautiful gowns from Elie Saab, Christian Dior and Valentino on the red carpet and in a couple of the big events coming up too! Also keep an eye out for some new features on here, I’m branching out a little in terms of what I want to write about on here and have already got some new posts planned.

    – First of the snow flurries – New read ‘All These Things I’ve Done’ – Day #104 – Shoot The Freak & Darren Criss on my commute – Day #105 – Day #106 – Skinny latte time – Day #107 – Snoooow – Day #108 – Venturing out to work – Pretty walk to & from the office – My sister made a snow cat! – And wrapped up for work on Saturday – Cosy end to the week – 
    I have such a love/hate relationship with snow. On one hand who can resist how pretty everything looks, walking in fresh snow in the morning, or the perfect excuse for hot drinks and cosy scarves. On the other is the cold trek in at 8am when you want to be in bed, or the ineptitude of the British transport system once the first dusting appears, or how about not getting snow days anymore cos you work during the week? *le sigh* Well I hope whatever your situation the snow isn’t annoying you too much! After two days of wrapping up against the elements, I’m perfectly happy staying in under the duvets today with my ipod and Newsies soundtrack ^_^
    If you’re doing the same I definitely suggest accompanying said duvet day with my Golden Globe round ups (pt1 & 2!) and all the recent posts on Blogger’s Bookshelf, including our ‘Books We Vow To Read In 2013’ post. Am thinking of doing maybe a monthly list of books I’ve read to kinda keep track with my GoodReads challenge, yay or nay?

    – Sunday baking! – Day #99 – Listening to Haim, which inspired a post too – Day #100 – Day #101 – Started & finished a new book – Day #102 – Day #103 – Went to see Les Mis – Coffee, lunch and reading after work – 

    I don’t know what it’s been about this week but I crashed Saturday afternoon and have not really recovered…though I do blame most on this on the fact I’m still emotionally distraught about watching Les Miserable in the cinema on Friday evening (which was just beyond amazing! Aaron Tveit and Samantha Barks for life :D). Apart from this I’m surprisingly staying on top of a couple of resolutions. I’m reading more – already 2 books up on my GoodReads challenge – and have started properly listening to Haim and posted about them too. Going to the cinema more was also another one off the list to keep up this year and, kind of, monitoring my spending.
    In blog-y new I’m also one event into awards show season with my People’s Choice Awards round up. The Golden Globes are set for tonight so it’ll be good to see some full on ball gowns to review! Woop! Am also trying to get around the blogging community a bit more and find new pieces of inspiration and came across two sites I’m gonna recommend.One is The Fashion Spot forums and the other is Fashion Rider – which is nice site to find new designers and music. Always good to find inspiration for something a little different to write about :)
