So
this is something a little different…
Here
are some of my summer favourites! This is literally everything that I’ve liked
and bought this summer! This isn’t just make up or beauty items, mainly because
I don’t own much or even use it unless I have to, so this will include clothes,
books, and TV and movies
Clothing
and Beauty
Barry
M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Polish
I’ve used
Barry M nail polish before but I’ve only recently fell in love with this! I don’t
have many, but the shades I have are lovely and I plan on buying so many more
so I can have a complete collection. My nails right now are white, done with
the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Coconut. They look fab and when they look better
(meaning I don’t have polish on my hands and fingers) I’ll take a photo for the
post! I was so sure I had more than four of these but obviously not! I have GNP
8 ‘Grapefruit’, GNP 15 ‘Guava’ GNP 11 ‘Dragon’ and GNP 23 ‘Coconut’. I know
there are many different shades as I’ve borrowed a family friends, who had a
blue one but I’m not sure on the colour name.
Using
my computer as a backdrop might not work…
Yours Clothing
This
shop. Oh my god I love it so much! Its sizes 14 – 32 so it’s mainly plus sized
clothes, and that’s perfect as in my area there is nothing for the ‘bigger
teenager’ like me. I recently fell in love with a kimono in our store, which
was £30, and I couldn’t afford it, so when I saw it in my size and in the sale
I was not leaving it on the shelf. And if my outfit applies, I wear it
constantly. I tend to wear it with a black vest top from Asda, just a plain
one, and some grey leggings which I don’t know where they are from. I don’t really
have shoes to go with this outfit as it’s usually a stay in day outfit but I do
wear my vans with this, which are denim look, so they don’t really fit in with
it but they’re comfy and cute so I wear them anyway.
I have many
clothes from here, including a really cute dress which I wore for a wedding in
June just before prom, (like the weekend before) the only problem I had with it
was how low cut it was, but I managed for the day in Warwick Castle… what I
really liked about this dress was the length, it was short but not overly
short, and the pockets, yes, the pockets. They were hidden pockets so there was
always somewhere to hide my phone! (That’s not me in the photo. I will have to
post a full length picture of me at some point.) I wore this
with navy heels from next, which I wore for prom, and a navy bag from eBay, which
I also used for prom.
Another
item I’ve bought from here is a black top with red pansies on, the collar tops,
if you know what I mean by that. Again not me in the photo. I tend to wear this
with black ripped jeans (I’ll come onto those later) and a pair of Converse,
depending on the occasion. If it’s a party or reception I’d wear leggings and
black wedges, but for day to day wear its ripped jeans all the way.
Asda
Clothing
I don’t generally
shop in supermarkets for clothes but this is a place I can rely on. I bought a
maxi dress earlier this year, I don’t think it was during the summer but I’m
including it anyway. And it was so comfy. You could wear it with heels or
sandals and was perfect for day or night wear. I wore it to a wedding reception
of a band member of mine, who I’ve known since I was small so he had to invite
me. I wore it with nude heels and my hair in natural waves. I don’t have a
picture of it, nor can I find one on the internet, but it was, I say fluorescent,
but I was slightly paler than fluorescent pink with white patterning. And sadly
I can’t find it anywhere, so I can’t take a picture of it for you to see.
I
also love their summer range this year. I’ve got so much stuff from that, from
family members thinking I’d like them. And I always do. So my next thing from
asda are these vest tops. While writing this I am wearing the elephant one. I
love these because you can really dress them up, or dress
them down. My grandma bought these thinking I wouldn’t like them and that she
could have them but HA! I wear them all the time and they’re fab. They can be
worn with leggings, a kimono and heels, or jeans and converse or vans. I know
not many summer favourites are from supermarkets but this is where most of my
clothing comes from and I do love their stuff. The only problem with George is
sizing. You need to have a size bigger when buying clothes from here.
Entertainment
TV
My
current favourite TV shows are Sherlock
and Game of Thrones. I don’t really
watch much TV because I’m either planning YouTube videos for when they channel
is up, writing blog posts or playing Sims, so I don’t get much chance to watch
shows, also because I don’t get left alone often enough to watch things like Supernatural or Teen Wolf.
For
those of you who don’t know, which I would be very upset if you didn’t, Sherlock is a modern take on the Arthur
Conan Doyle series, The Adventures of
Sherlock Holmes. The main characters of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson
take on the crimes around London with Sherlock being the centre of attention
most of the time. It was in Sherlock where
I first fell in love with the one and only Benedict Cumberbatch.
Game of
Thrones is
a complete contrast. It is a fantasy show, taken from the George R. R. Martin
series A Song Of Ice and Fire, which
I most definitely want to read but haven’t got round to buying it. It follows
the story of the seven kingdoms of Westeros, and the many families living
there. The Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, Tulleys, Martells, Tyrells and
plenty more. I bet people who watch this are going ‘WHAT ABOUT DAENAREYS?’ I’m
coming to her now. It also follows the Targareans, who were once the kings and
queens of the seven kingdoms. (I’m explaining this more than Sherlock because there is more in this
than Sherlock.) They had dragons, and
lots of them.
I’m
not going to give away too much of this I definitely think you all should go
and watch both shows because they’re fab and I love them!
Movies

favourite movies right now, and there are more here than TV shows so I’m just
going to list them for now, and I’ll do a Movies blog post.

Books
Well.
I’m currently reading nothing, but I’ve started the Hobbit and can’t get past
the first few pages because I tend to read in bed and fall asleep on my book. But
I do read teen fiction, such as The Hunger Games and Divergent. I cant really
give many books as I cant remember what I have and haven’t read, but I can talk
about John Green.
As
some of you may know, John Green wrote, and almost starred in, The Fault in Our Stars. A book which
tells the story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, a teenage cancer sufferer who meets
Augustus Waters at a cancer group. They go on many adventures together before
the end of the book, this is a huge spoiler alert so skip to the end of the
brackets if you don’t want to know (Where Gus eventually gets his cancer back
and it kills him)
I
cried for nearly an hour after the end of that book.
I
think this is about it for today, my summer favourites has come to a close. I
chose to do this now because I know I’d probably forget to do it at the end of
August and its nearly the end of summer here anyway. I dont know whats going on with the bullet points, theres nothing I can do to change them so, sorry.
Speak
soon! xxx
