Film || Your Sister's Sister.

I recently made a watchlist on imdb of approximately a billion films and so I've watched a fair number of really good films the past couple of weekends

This particular film was also recommended by my friend who has really similar taste to me and I absolutely loved it. Emily Blunt is fast becoming one of my favourite actresses. She, Duplass & DeWitt all deliver brilliant performances and it made me cry just the right amount.


Seriously though, just watch this film.

Wednesday wishlist #5 || Desk accessories .

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I have been spending a lot of time at my desk this year and these are a few things I want in order to make it in to my ideal workspace.

1 & 2 - I really want a plant for my desk to brighten it up a bit and as my room doesn't receive much light I figured a spider plant, which my siblings and I always had when we were growing up for some reason,  would be perfect.

3 & 4 -Love working with a candle burning. I bought my boyfriend a Yankee Candle for Christmas and now really want one of my own. Fresh and fruity scents are my favourite.

5 - I already have a small decorative lamp (which I still haven't bought a light bulb for after 4 months) but need a lamp so I can actually see my work! I want a floor one to save desk space and so I can move it to by my bed if I like.

On Repeat || James Vincent McMorrow

I'm not one of those people who sits on youtube watching video after video but for some reason the other week, I found myself clicking through a number of music videos, and I am so glad I did. James Vincent McMorrow has a beautifully haunting voice and I have not been able to stop listening to his cover of Steve Winwood's 1986 hit of 'Higher Love'.


According to my boyfriend this was actually used in an advert in 2011 but hey, I don't watch much TV so I must have missed out.

I also downloaded his album 'Early in the Morning' which is a really lovely listen. Trying to think of a favourite track now is really tough, I genuinely love them all! Here's the official video for the track 'Sparrow and the Wolf'.


Have you been unable to stop listening to anyone recently? If so, who?
