    Getting into Haim – Day #51 – Day #52 – Nails done for the first time in ages – Day #53 – Started reading Delirium – Bored waiting at the station – Day #54 – McFly’s autobiography Unsaid Things arrived! – Day #55 – Vain photo is vain – Cooking lunch on Saturday – Saturday night cupcakes & coffee – Finished Unsaid Things, amazing book, amazing band – Inception –

    Soundtrack: Haim – Forever

    One of those weeks where I’ve removed myself a little from the fashion blogging world to throw myself into the other stuff that I love.
    Finally figured out the song that’s been going around my head for the past month has been Forever by Haim. Ironically I found them on Who What Wear as part of their ‘The New Girls’ blog post. As well as new music I was delving into old loves, namely McFly. I’m often criticised and even questioned why I love this band so much. Now I have a book to back up my argument. I’ll probably review it in full at some point – maybe on Blogger’s Bookshelf, cheeky plug! – but my overall feeling from their autobiography Unsaid Things was just overwhelming pride. ‘My boys’ have grown up and overcome alot, maybe not the struggles most celebs have, but they’ve gotten through it all with each other’s support. *le sigh* ok I’m fangirling again…
    My new commute read is Delirium by Lauren Oliver, another one for the review list! I’m only about halfway through but I’m pleasantly surprised. 
    Apart from that it’s been the same old, can’t quite believe it’s nearly November! I would’ve been at my placement for around 4 months and it’s almost time for the festive season…mental stuff!

    Keep on wishing…

    Another Autumnal week in October. The weather is no sufficiently cold enough to legitimately wear coats and boots wahey! Apologies for the single post this week, I’ve been feeling so tired recently, definitely in one of those ‘need a kick up the bum’ moods at the moment!
    Taking a break from the office I got to head up to London for the afternoon for meeting. After it finished I mulled around the city for a bit with no real destination before I had to get my train. It’s seriously my favourite thing to do in London. With a tube pass in hand you can really just get off at any stop and find yourself somewhere interesting – although I did make sure I was back at Waterloo station before dark! One thing I made sure I did was scope out the LeakyCon London venue, the Grand Connaught Ballrooms. It’s amazing and impressive and that’s just the outside. Also excited to know there were a few fashion week shows held there this year, namely Temperley’s show. After I geeked out on my lonesome I got the tube to Embankment and just strolled over the bridge to the station. I love the London skyline and always feel a little sad walking away from it. Maybe one day I’ll get to see it everyday on my way to work. 
    Something extremely exciting and lovely is the birth of Erin and I’s book blog project! We’ve been in super organisation mode the past few weeks to set it up and it’s finally here! It’s in it’s baby stages at the moment in terms of content and design but will definitely evolve in the next few months. We’ve got an amazing team of contributors who are raring and ready to start posting soon. So keep an eye out for exciting things from bloggersbookshelf.blogspot.co.uk :)

    A little big busy and a little bit chill and a lot of awesome this week. 
    Kick-starting off with a brand new blog project in the form of an exciting collaborative book blog with the help of lovely Erin! I’m super excited to get this off the ground and we’ve already had a lot of interest from people who want to contribute. If you’re still interested check out my Tumblr post for a few more details or message/tweet me or Erin with an email. We’re hoping to get something out by this week (#tentative =S) in an email outlining our vision and master plan. In the meantime, inventive blog names for the book blog would be appreciated! – you will of course be credited!
    Awesome thing no 2. Autumn! I just really love it, that’s all ^_^ got out my lovely new Forever 21 coat today (despite it still actually being quite warm…Oops). But how is it October tomorrow already?! It means I’ve been at my placement for 2 months now. Madness!
    And exciting, exciting thing no 3….I’ve hit triple figures and now have over 100 followers! I’ve been so wrapped up in posts and writing and work that I didn’t notice until this weekend, but I’m just so unbelievably proud and humbled that you all choose to follow my ramblings :) A little celebration is in order, so I’m hopefully going to try and get on a 100 follower giveaway very, very soon! So look out lovelies :) and thank you again for following me!
