What I've Bought (Part II)

Hello! Been a bit ill recently, running a temperature and feeling dizzy, I think it's partly down to the stress of writing personal statements, preparing my art portfolio, starting driving lessons and all this horrid cold weather. So, in between doing catchup work, I thought I'd do a blog post. 

After falling in love with the movie trailer for The Perks of Being A Wallflower, I decided to buy the book (and the book is usually better than the film). I've actually finished it already, only took me a week to read and it's now one of my favourite books, I just wish it was longer! It is written in the form of letters to an anonymous friend and gives a deep insight into a year in the life of Charlie. One of the best coming of age books in my opinion, and you really get to know and feel for Charlie, if he was real I'd want to be his friend and probably give him a hug! The mix tape music listed in the book is pretty good too. 

Also bought some frilly Topshop socks (Two black pairs and one minty green pair). Got a good deal on them and they are perfect for adding a girly touch to my creepers, or for keeping my feet warm when wearing heels.

Recently discovered Kaleid Bracelets on Etsy and bought one of their dainty little slip knot and charm bracelets, mine is black with a tiny silver leaf charm. It arrived only a few days after ordering it, and I haven't taken it off since!

























Music I've been listening to: Origin of Love - MIKA / Winter Song - Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson / Babel - Mumford & Sons / It's Time - Imagine Dragons (From The Perks Of Being A Wallflower trailer) / We're On Our Way - Radical Face (From The Perks Of Being A Wallflower trailer) / If I Ever Stray - Frank Turner / Factory - Band Of Horses

  6. Have been trying to decide whether to read 'Perks of being a wallflower' first before seeing the film or do it vice versa, but you've persuaded me to read it first now! Also your new socks are super cute :) xx
