2013 Favourites

Hello there!

It's that time. I've consumed more food than I ever thought was humanly possible, been overwhelemed by the generosity of my friends and family and am now less than a week away from returning back to Surrey for the final university push! I'm truly terrified so any prayer and general good advice you have, I'd massively appreciate!

2013 has been a top notch year all round really, and I couldn't be a happier little chicken than I am right now! Here are some of my favourite discoveries, memories and experiences from 2013!

1. TRAVEL - Marrakech - Simply beautiful. If you can go, GO! I wrote about my African adventures here earlier this year.



2. MASCARA - The Falsies by Maybelline - I challenge you to find me a better mascara than this. You rock my world, Maybelline!

3. TV SHOW - Pretty Little Liars - I'm obsessed and I'm not ashamed to say it! It returns to the screens of you American fellow on Jan 7th! You lucky ducks!

4. LIPSTICK - Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipstick range by Rimmel London - I couldn't just pick one colour and think I am now the proud owner of every single one in the collection. Moisturising and the finish is lasting... Does what is says on the tin! Well done you, Kate!

5. BLOG - Lottie's Little Kitchen / Sprinkle of Glitter  - I'm not ashamed to say that I think I might be Lottie's biggest fan! She is the best friend of one of my best friends, Jess, and the recipes on her blog are deeee-lic-ious! Louise at Sprinkle of Glitter is just a ray of positivity and wisdom that I feel everyone should admire. A good soul with a beautiful family! Check them both out!

6. BOOK - A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini - A book I highly recommend reading! Not a typically easy read but a fantastic read. Total page-turner!

7. PERFUME - Daisy - Marc Jacobs - And it seems everyone knew it! I could have come out with a 'Sponsored by Marc Jacobs' sign and no one would have questioned it. Thank you wonderful famille!!

8. Lush - I adore everything about a Lush store... Even the overpowering mixture of smells that smacks you in the face as you enter the door! Give me any kind of bath goody from Lush and I will find it tricky to thank you enough!

9. CANDLE - Air Wick Colour Changing Candle - A bizzare one, I know, but this may be my favourite discovery of 2013! If you haven't seen these, they are available in any local supermarket I believe (I found mine in Tesco!) 




Phew, that took some serious thinking! What have you all loved in 2013??? What am I missing out on?

With Love, 
Zoe

Autumn is here!

Hello there!

Although I love both the Summer sun and Winter snow very very much, Autumn is definitely my favourite season!! Yellow leaves, scarves, hats, big, snuggly coats and knowing that soon it will be necessary to have film nights at our house with the whole world bundled in our living room trying to keep warm- what more can you ask for?!

It also feels refreshing, new and shiny when September hits as it is the start of the academic year (my last one ever- waa!) so new stationary needs to be bought, that 'I'm going to get into a routine and sort my life out' thing sets in, and exercise runs and jumps at me like a bulldozer. (I'm excited for all of the above though!)

For now, I have two weeks before my last year of insane study and silliness begins, and I'm terrified and wild with excitement at the same time.



I also purchased my first jumper of the season last week, which is a sure sign that Autumn is upon us!

Are you guys Autumn fanatics too? What are your favourite Autumn purchases?

With love,

Zoe xx

Lauren Aquilina

Hello there!

I stumbled across the very talented Lauren Aquilina about 2 years ago, when a friend showed me some of her covers on YouTube. At the time, I was pretty impressed but soon got lost in life and it wasn't until very recently that I rediscovered her and WOW (that's me being speechless!).

Now that she is doing less covers and more of her own handwritten gems, I am loving her even more! I highly recommend purchasing BOTH of her EP's, (Fools, and Sinners) on iTunes, especially if you are a fan of flawless vocals and catchy melodies. (I have been humming 'Ugly Truth' from the new 'Sinners' E.P. for near enough a week now!)

To top off my Lauren Aquilina love, she is an 18 year old who seems to do nothing but thank the world on social media site, pull ridiculous faces (the quickest way to my heart) and shower her fans with love and affection. I don't ask for much more in an artist! You go, Lauren!



You can find her and tell her that you think she is great too either on Twitter: @LaurenAquilina or via Facebook: facebook.com/laurenaquilinamusic


With love,

We Heart It!!

Hello!

About a month ago my new housemate, Sophie came up to me with this wonderful app called 'we heart it'. 

And oh my lord I DO heart it! Definitely spending more time than is socially acceptable scrolling through their cute images, thought provoking quotes (and a few that are too cutest for my liking, but I'll embrace them anyway!) and GIFs, and 'heart(ing) it' left right and centre!

Here are a few of my favourites from today!!!




Have you downloaded the 'we heart it' app yet?
What do you most like to see on there?

With love,
Zoe xx
