Monthly Favourites #31 - November

How has November passed so freaking quickly?! I mean, it's going to Christmas in 26 days... Holy crap. Good thing I finished all my Christmas shopping during the first week of the month! SO here's my faves from November!

Song

I've want to hate this song, but I just can't. It's been on the radio a lot on my commute to work, so I've had this stuck in my head for ages now - and now I can't wait to hear the whole album!

Picture

My favourite picture from this month is from a fireworks display I went to with M, back at the start of the month. I took this just before we headed into the venue, and it wasn't until I looked back later, that I saw how creepy it kind of looked! I've not edited this at all, so I'm pretty impressed with this pic!

TV
I've started watching Star Trek: Discovery on Netflix, and though I am only a couple of episodes into it so far, I'm loving it. I was a Trekkie as a young girl, so with the films starring Chris Pine still a big love of mine, I had high hopes for this. So far, I'm not disappointed in it! Hoping it keeps this momentum going all season.

Film
I struggled here. I finally watched Spider-man: Homecoming the other day, but I also got to see Thor: Ragnarok this month! So Thor won...
I laughed SO MUCH during this movie. I've fallen in love with Thor even more now, and the use of Led Zepplin's song thorugh the film was perfect. I also loved seeing Cate Blanchett as a baddie - I'm so used to her as a goodie, like Galadriel!
I won't spoil any of this, but it's perfectly set up for the Infinity War movies!

Hope you enjoyed these faves for November! What have you loved this month yourself, from each category? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe!

Anna | Disney Inspired Lookbook

Back at the start of 2017, I decided to do create a set of Disney Inspired Look books - all inspired by the Princesses we all know and love - in the run up to my Florida holiday. Well now that the holiday is all over, I still have a few of the Princesses left to style, so I'm carrying on until they all have a fancy new style! Last lookbook focused on Merida's new look, and now it's time for this week's new Princess!

You can even do this with blue jeans, or add a black corset for a full Anna effect! What part of the look is your fave? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Orlando Holiday Diary: Day 3 - Sea World

Before you all kick off - yes, I have seen Blackfish, but I still wanted to go here for the rides, and I wanted to see the animals as well.

We had tickets for Sea World included with the Orlando tickets we bought back in January from Attractions Tickets, so as we paid for it, we headed there. First we started off the day with a run to Walmart, as we knew Hurricane Irma was definitely going to hit the state, just so we could get some supplies. Thankfully we turned up at the time when the water delivery arrived, so managed to get a pack of water which lasted us!

At the parks, we went on all the rides - except Kraken - and got to see the beautiful dolphins, orcas, penguins and other animals! Mako was such an amazing ride, but I sadly didn't get any pictures or video of the ride as the rain started!

Hope you enjoy the pics from day three - and don't forget, the daily vlog is at the bottom if you'd rather watch that!

Hope you enjoyed this little look at the third day of my awesome holiday! Can't wait to share with you the rest of the trip. If you've been to Florida, or want to go, what's something you'd like to do there? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Picture Perfect 16

I've not done a roundup picture post since I got back from Florida, so this is about due time for this one! I haven't been super busy since we got back, I've mainly been at work and seeing M for most of the time - but my Mum got married, so I have some lovely pictures of that, and also some fireworks! Let's see what I've got to show you...

Boyfriend bought me a Pug toy!

My department Manager, Bev, bought this for me!

Hope you've all had a wonderful month and are excited for the festive season to arrive. What have you been up to the past few weeks? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)

Christmas Gifts Under £15!

Shock. Horror. A Christmas post!

Yes, I am aware that it's the middle of November, and I'm already going on about Christmas. I've pretty much done with my present shopping already (please don't hurt me!), but for those of you just starting to shop for friends and family, here are a few gift ideas for you.

I tend to get a few mini items for as gifts for my friends and family. May it be a little chocolate treat, something fun, or even a beauty item! All of these are under £15, so perfect if you are on a budget. The three shops I tend to search in the most, are Superdrug, Find Me A Gift, and La La Land, so go check them out if you're after something over £15.

Get your jingle bells ringing, and lets get started!

Find Me A Gift

Superdrug

La La Land

Hope this was helpful for you in some way, and let me know if you end up buying anything from them at all! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
