I'm cheating a little here as some of these pictures were taken at the end of September, but I thought it was about time I filled you in on the goings-on in my life as it's been a while since my last
update, and I'd quite like to make this into a monthly feature.
So without further adieu, last month I was:
Loving: As you can probably grasp from the majority of these pictures, I have a bit of an addiction to animal print, and it's gotten quite serious over the past few months. I've invested in a leopard print dress, scarf, sweater and I've finally got my hands on the perfect leopard print fur coat (don't worry I don't plan on wearing them all at once).
Loathing: Moving house, I finally said goodbye to my old place with a pizza and packing party. Unfortunately it won't be long before I'm moving again as I'll be unemployed officially on 10th November, so will move back to my parents house in preparation for my mini gap year. I've decided to do Singapore Vietnam and Thailand, departing early January. I have lots of other plans for my redundancy paycheck including finally getting my own DSLR, driving lessons and laser eye surgery, I seriously cannot wait for the New Year.
Listening to: I attended Derby's annual outdoor classical music concert at the end of September with all my friends and a big fat pic-nic. As usual the music was fantastic, but the fireworks are always my favourite part of the night. I've also been listening to the Mystery Jets, Ed Sheeran and Christina Perri, not too surprisingly I'm really relating to her latest album, Lovestrong.
Eating: I've enjoyed lots of delicious food this month, but I wanted to pay a special mention to
Jack Rabbits who have just opened up in Derby and serve the most amazing sharing platters (anti-pasti sharing platter pictured above) all completely fresh and well priced for the ridiculous amount of food you get. I also had the most amazing steak and home made chips at
The Greyhound, part of the Brewery Tap group.
Buying: Technically not a purchase, but I decided to finally get my fringe cut again and re-ombre my hair. I'm now trying to decide whether to have it properly cut, shoulder length, like
this picture, maybe a bit longer, what do you think? I've also been buying lots of new nail polishes and have a particular love for some of the new metallic shades currently on trend.
Watching: I've seen a few films over the past month, but most notably
Crazy Stupid Love, definitely one of the best rom coms I've seen in a long time (I am now in love with Ryan Gosling) and
The Help an amazingly inspiring story surrounding extraordinary women in 1960's South America. I may have developed a slight girl crush on Emma Stone, the leading lady in both these films.
Halloween: I've seen all your pictures, now it's my turn. On visiting my parents a couple of weeks ago, my mother pulled out this amazing vintage leopard print catsuit and suggested I could wear it or Halloween. Being in the height of my animal print addiction I couldn't refuse. I feel like a bit of a cop-out though as the idea of Halloween fancy dress is to look scary and I don't think I pulled it off, but I had so much fun dressing up.
Finally: My friend has just adopted a little foster kitten, with a broken leg, and I couldn't possibly not include a picture. Cute huh?
To summarise, this month has been pretty good and things are finally looking up, well, they couldn't exactly have gotten any worse. I still can't wait for this year to be over so I can start looking towards the future and make a proper fresh start. Only 51 days till Christmas!!
Lastly, I wanted to say a quick hello *waves* to all my new followers and a big big thank you to all my loyal readers, you make me smile every day.
