I thought I'd just show you guys a few things I've bought over the last few days. I haven't made any big purchases as i'm saving my money to spend in Kavos and to book another holiday in September, so I've only bought a few bits and bobs.

The virgin suicides DVD and BookA pair of dolly shoes

One of my all time favorite films is The Virgin Suicides so I thought I'd treat myself to the film and the book. I haven't read it yet but its been on my to read list for ages now so I'm looking forward to it! I bought both from Amazon.

These beautiful carpet dolly shoes are from New Look. I don't really have a reason for buying them but hey, who needs a reason to buy new shoes?!

A cream watch and an evil eye braceletA tribal style necklace

Watch and bracelet both from Ebay

This necklace is from New Look again. My sister bought it for me.

Now a little update. I started work on monday! Yes I got a new job and a name badge what could be better than that! Alsoooo It's my birthday tomorrow! I will be 19 but there probably won't be any partying for me as I've been pretty sick booo. I'm still excited regardless and I will do a little post on what I got. 
Last thing! I'M GOING TO KAVOS IN LIKE 17 DAYS! So yeah, I've got a lot to look forward to this summer.

WEEKLY WISHLIST 14/7/2013

I love reading, it's made some of the most boring times bearable. So I wanted to share with you some of my all time favorite books and my to read list.


A pile of my favourite books

Firstly my favorites

The Beach - Alex Garland 

The Island - Victoria Hislop 

Weekend in Paris - Robyn Sisman

Out of the blue - Belinda Jones

One Day - David Nicholls

I would recommend every single one of these books as the are all fabulous reads. When I get more time I might do individual book reviews for these but right now just know these are my all time faves!

A pile of books I am yet to read

The ' To read list'

Ten minutes to fall in Love - Julia Llewellyn

Beautiful Ruins - Jess Walter

The lovely bones - Alice Sebold

The way we were - Elizabeth Noble

The Return - Victoria Hislop

I'm already halfway through 'The Return' and so far so good, but I so so sooo can't wait to read the others. As you will probably know if you've been reading my blog I'm going to Greece for a week in August and 'Beautiful Ruins' is definitely my designated beach book this year.

The books I read usually follow a similar pattern. They are either about Love or are set in a foreign country, or both.

Thanks for reading!

WEEKLY WISHLIST 7/7/2013

A while back I saw an recipe for making sweets in chocolate. It seemed simple enough and with me saving for my holiday it was a good cheap way to keep me entertained for a while. Sorry the pictures are pretty bad quality ( I promise i will get my camera fixed soon!) Me and my lovely boyfriend made this a few weeks ago. We went to Sainsburys and basically picked out the cheapest sweets and chocolate we could find.

The finished product - sweets in chocolate

What you will need

- A few bars of chocolate
- bags of sweets
- A bowl
- A tray and tin foil
- a pan or pot
- a stove
- spoons
- and a fridge

Method

-First you need to boil some water on the stove in the pot.

-Then put the bowl over the boiling water.

- break up the chocolate and put it in the bowl

- the chocolate will start to melt, stir it to make sure its all melted

- pour the chocolate into the tray which should be lined with tin foil

- if you are using two different chocolate like we did, do one colour first and 
then pour the other on top and mix it around to get the marble effect.

- add the sweets on top of the chocolate

- wait for it to cool slightly then put in the fridge

- leave it in the fridge a few hours to harden and enjoy!

SWEETS IN CHOCOLATE RECIPE

I decided to paint my nails yesterday. I took the idea from a post on www.totally-nailed.com. I really wanted to try something different as I was bored of having red painted nails everyday. When I saw the tutorial I knew I wanted to give it a go. It's actually pretty simple to do, but if you have shaky hands like I unfortunately do, you might find it a bit tricky. To get this effect I used a sea green base coat and painted on (with a very small paint brush) the little pink flicks. I then went over this with a clear top coat to seal it.

I know they aren't amazing and don't even come close to how good the ones on the tutorial look but for a first try I don't think they are too bad haha!
