July Favourites

July favourites!




 It's the end of July and we're about to enter the best month of the year, a certain person has a birthday soon :D so I thought I'd share with you some of my favourites from this month.

The first is paper towns by John Green, an amazing book that I recently finished reading. It is about a girl called Margo who spends a night seeking revenge on people who she believes wronged her, and then she just disappears. The book revolves around discovering who Margo really is as her neighbour Quentin and his friends search for her. It is a fantastic book by the legendary Mr John Green, I suggest you read it, my description of it is awful, but there you go!



 Recently I've been loving ear cuffs. I first bought them because I was too scared to get my upper ear pierced, but I'm not even bothered about that any more, because of these. They are really pretty and just add something more to your ears if you're scared of getting the top bit (never remember the name) done like me! Also please excuse terrible image quality, my camera's not the best! These ones are from Claire's and aren't too expensive, and defo cheaper than getting your ear pierced!

 In Superdrug at the minute these mini MUA nail polishes are £1, so I picked up two in baby blue and lilac. They dry super quickly and I've had mine on for around a week and there has been minimal chipping - not bad for a pound!






I'm probably a bit late to comment on this film, but I only just watched it (nearly 3 years after it came out!) If you haven't seen it, please watch it, because after doing so I could do nothing but stare into space going "What, oh my, what? I can't... oh my..." etc. Yeah it blew my mind, plus Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are in it so you can't go wrong there! Essentially Leo and JGL are in the business of stealing ideas from people in their dreams, which is transferred to real life. But they are asked instead to carry out Inception: planting an idea in someone's head rather than extracting a current idea. This means they have to construct three layers of a dream to occur at the same time, and then there is so much tension and stuff that your stomach hurts by the end, so yeah, give that a watch.




  July brought out the release of Nina Nesbitt's new EP: Way in the World, and it's a good one - hence it being in my favourites! I already love all of Nina's work, so I was so excited for this to come out and I wasn't disappointed! Also this month I discovered The 1975, and I am loving their stuff, particularly their song named "chocolate." So yeah check them both out and let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my suggestions!





 Finally I got given this as a prezzie:
It's a little mini umbrella, and I thought it was really cute so I thought I'd share it with you guys. I mean, I have no idea of its purpose because it's too small to use as an umbrella and too big to put in a cocktail, but it's cute nonetheless! 

Hope you enjoyed reading about some of my favourites, adios for now!
