On repeat || Michael Cassidy

 
This scottish chap is one of the nicest people I've have had the pleasure of (briefly) meeting. I saw him back in October when he was supporting Ben Howard and fell in love with his distinct accent and beautiful songs. He came out front after the fif to sign copies of his ep and have his photo taken with fans which in my opinion doesn't happen nearly enough.
(Sorry for the rather unattractive photo of me!)

Overall a really lovely guy and worth having a listen to. He's currently recording his debut album but you can listen to his ep here.


Who/what have you had on repeat this week?

Wednesday wishlist #2 || Perfumes

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

1 - Marc Jacobs Daisy

2 - CK one Shock

3 - Davidoff Cool Water

4 - Hugo Boss Femme

5 - Paco Rabanne Lady Million

These are just some of my favourite scents I don't own (yet hint hint). I wish I had the money to just splash out on a new perfume whenever I fancied but it looks like most of these will be making their way to my Christmas list this year!

What scents are you coveting at the moment?

Never Let Me Go.

I actually received this book as a gift at Christmas but what with university and work commitments it's taken me a long time to start reading it properly. It is a wonderfully written book with an interesting storyline. It's also been adapted in to a film so here's the trailer which will no doubt do a better job of describing the book than me!


What have you been reading recently? Any book recommendations?

♦ #10 secrets ♦ #9 loves ♦ #8 fears ♦ #7 wants ♦ #6 places ♦ #5 foods ♦ #4 books ♦ #3 films ♦ #2 songs ♦ #1 picture of yourself ♦



None of these need any explanation to be perfectly honest.

On repeat || Of Monsters and Men

 
I first heard this band hailing from Iceland on Radio 1 as 'Little Talks' was both Fearne Cotton's and Greg James' 'Big Thing' which basically mean I heard it a lot on the radio whilst at work.

I was then lucky enough to see (well hear, the tent was packed!) them at Latitude and ever since I got hold of their album I haven't stopped listening to them.

Take a listen and see what you think!

Wednesday wishlist #1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

1 - Perfect alternative to a bandeau for the larger chested ladies!

2 - Unfortunately my bike was stolen last year at uni and I'm in desperate need of a new one, especially as I'm living further away from campus this year. I can't really afford a brand new one so I'll be on the hunt for a decent second hand one in the next couple of months.

3 - Simple black skirt for nights out and such. Bodycon skirts always seem to ride up on me - not the best look, and I love the skater style. This is available in a variety of colours so I may have to pick up a couple when my loan comes through.

4 - Since having some fairly serious eye problems back at the beginning of the year I'm trying not to rely on contact lenses as much as I did before. I popped in to Specsavers a couple of days ago and these are so comfy and cheap I will most definitely be purchasing a pair.

5 - I absolutely love this. A friend I went to Latitude with wore a t-shirt from this brand which I really liked, I then saw this in the Topman window and now I have to get my hands on it (although the boy won't let me buy it 'cause he thinks it's "too much for a t-shirt").

6 - I've read many a blog entry on this but I have no idea where to purchase, links would be greatly appreciated!

What are you lusting after this week?
