PINTEREST- All Around The World

So this board was one that I created so I could post a whole bunch of pictures of beautiful countries and cities around the world. It would be so cool if one day I could visit them all. Check out the others here. 

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Zhangye, China

Wind Cathedral, Namibia

Montana, USA

Plitvice National Park, Croatia

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Bird's eye view of NYC

Libya

Bubbles in the ice seen over Abraham Lake in Alberta Canada

I honestly would have posted every picture if I could, but seriously, how cool are all of these places!!?

PINTEREST- Pretty Little Things

Some of my favourite pictures from my 'Pretty Little Things' board.

Pinterest Geek

Hellooo, 

Its been a while because I went on holiday to Mauritius :D It was like the best place I have ever seen and I had a magical time, so except a post about that soon with lots of pictures! I also, while there, did four things on my bucket list which was very exciting for me! So be sure to check out what I have crossed off by clicking here. 

Anyway, this post is actually about PINTEREST. So, if you do not have this already, I fully recommend you do so right now. I have been a We Heart It fan for quite some time and when someone suggested I got Pintrest I was kind of hesitant because I didn't see the point if I had, and enjoyed We Heart It so much. But, since I got it I have literally become the biggest Pintrest geek. I go on all the time, fantasising about beautiful places and pinning hundreds of stunning photos. So I really wanted to share with you some of my favourite photos from each 'board' I have on Pintrest. 

Enjoooyy over the next couple of posts

My Top Red Carpet Looks

So with the awards season for this year officially being over, and my exams being over, giving me time to spend hours of magical free time on the internet, I have decided to look back at some of my favourite red carpet looks over the past 4 years or so. I know I have left out lots that I can't remember, but these were ones that immediately came to mind.

Rihanna in Azzadine Alaia- 2013 Grammy Awards
I love the sheer panelling at the top and its beautiful train. This is really beautiful.

Sharon Stone in Roberto Cavalli- 2013 Cannes Film Festival
This is just absolutely stunning, I did like the back but I did think it
brought down the dress a bit. But in general this is just such a win for her.
I think her body looks great and it is just so perfectly tailored. 

Taylor Swift in Elie Saab- 2012 Billboard Music Awards:
Only comment is that I would have put her hair up in a low messy bun
or a slick ponytail because the dress has a beautiful high neck-line. 

Charlize Theron in Dior- 2012 Golden Globes
I just love this. Firstly her hair and make up are perfect. Because
she has a fairly flat chest, this plunging neckline is so great on her and
the dress also shows off her amazing legs. 

Mila Kunis in Elie Saab- 2011 Oscars
I have nothing more to say than THIS IS PERFECTION. 

Angelina Jolie in Versace- 2011 Golden Globes
I love love the colour, it did photograph very differently,
in the second picture of this, you can see how the green appears to be
much darker, but either way, I love both. 

Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein- 2011 Oscars
This is just proof of how sometimes, simplicity is key. I loved this
dress, I can remember watching the live red carpet feed with Ryan
Seacrest and being shocked at how beautifully she wore this.

Lea Michele in Elie Saab- 2013 Golden Globes
I can't quite pinpoint what I like about this dress specifically
but there is just something so pretty about it, and I do love Elie
Saab. 

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar De La Renta- 2013 Golden Globes
This red, simple strapless dress is just so pretty and fit her so well.
I am not sure if I like the pearls, wouldn't have been my first choice of jewellery,
but her hair and make-up are great and I love the dress. 

Claire Danes in Lanvin- 2012 Emmy Awards
Firstly, keep in mind that she was pregnant. I don't know why
I loved this dress, and I know a lot of people didn't love it but 1) I think
the bright pop of colour is great and 2) for her pregnancy, the low cut waist line
and its simplicity are perfect. I loved this. 

Nina Dovrev in Donna Karan- 2011 Emmy Awards
This dress is just so well fitted and paired with perfect hair and makeup
I think Nina looked absolutly beautiful. Again, perfect example of what great tailoring
can do for you. 

MAY FAVOURITES

So I looked up at my calendar and saw today is the last day of the month, how crazy that we are already in out 6th month of the year, I actually cannot believe how fast it has gone. I say this every year though, and I think that as we get older, it seems to go faster; which is actually a rather daunting thought...

So instead of doing beauty favourites because as lame as this sounds, I don't think I have bought any new/exciting products for a couple of months because I've been pretty busy at school so just sticking with what products I know, etc...

But I thought I'd do my TOP FIVES for movies, songs, tv series and books this month... This does seem a bit random but I decided to do it because especially with the movies and books, I really do recommend that if you haven't watched/read them, you should do so straight away :)

MOVIES:
- The Great Gatsby (ohmyword, this was beyond incredible!!!!)
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower (one of those brilliant movies that leaves you inspired after)
- What to Expect When You're Expecting (one of those mixed-up good old chick flicks ish)
- The Life of Pi (let's just say it won so many awards for a reason!)
- Pitch Perfect (I have not enjoyed the humour in a movie like I did for this one for ages, not to  mention the absolutely incredible singing!)

BOOKS:
- The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald (yes, I am not a little obsessed) 
- The Sky is Everywhere- Jandy Nelson (This is probably my favourite book in a long time)
- Things I Want My Daughters To Know- Elizabeth Noble (a light read but a beautiful story)
- The Language of Flowers- Vanessa Diffenbaugh (a really different story, I loved it!)
- I have just started 'The Fault in Our Stars' - John Green and it so touching, I can't put it down...

TV: 
- NCIS LA (just finished the 4th season and it is so good, I am practically bursting trying to find out what happens next season!) 
- Pretty Little Liars ( I am rewatching from season 1 while I wait for more episodes in the current screening to come out- I guess that is show of how much I love it) 
- Grey's Anatomy ( I am half way through the 9th ad final season. I have been watching since season 1, I absolutely love it and am so sad to see it going soon!)
- Revenge (Late on the bandwaggon for this, so only just finished season 1, but loving it too!)
- The Bachelorette ( I am watching Emily's season now and it is down to the final 6! Ahh, I love Sean, Arrie and Jef- don't tell me who wins pleeease :) ) 

SONGS: 
-  Red and White and Blue and Gold- Aoife O'Donovan (not pop-py at all, but very much my taste and I listen to it on repeat for hours)
- Tip Toes - Jayme Dee (I don't even know what to say, have a listen- she is an incredible singer!)
- Just My Love - Katherine Hughes (also a fantastic singer)
- The Weight of Living Part 1- Bastille (this is just too beautiful for words)
- People Help The People- Birdy (I love her voice too, such a beautiful song)

Enjoy the entertainment

Would You Rather

So I have been wanting to do a post like this for a long time and I finally found a tag with the questions cause frankly, no one really has the time to make up their own :)
So here goes my 'would you rather' tag :)

1) TEA OR COFFEE
Tea tea tea- I really don't like the taste of coffee although I desperately want to like it because it always
smells so delicious when I wake up in the morning and walk into the kitchen. Plus, the extra caffeen boost would do no harm during exam time. But somehow my desperate attempts to give it a chance fail each time, so tea it is.

2) CATS OR DOGS
Ooh, this is a hard one for me. If you asked me 5 months ago I would probably have said cats. But I love my little puppy with all my heart too. I think I am neutral because right now, as I type this post my beautiful cat and puppy are both sleeping on my bed next to me.

3) VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE
Chocolate for sure!

4) PINK OR BLUE
Blue probably. I used to have a very in-your-face hot pink bedroom with bight walls and linen and carpets, etc. Thank goodness those days passed after 13! I think blue and I wear it a lot too for some reason, maybe because my eyes are blue, who knows? Haha, although neither are my favourite colours.

5) HEELS OR FLATS
Flats. I am too tall to add another 12 inches to myself. Plus I must be a terrible wuss when it comes to this but my feet cannot withstand more than maximum 2 hours in heels! I once read some guy's bio on Facebook and he wrote under "what I look for in a girl" 1) The ability to run in heels- very important... I laughed so hard, he is definitely never going to be the person for me!

6) PIZZA OR BURGERS
Ohh, also tough- I don't eat either very often. But I probably have to say Pizza because I went on youth exchange to Italy for 2 months and the pizza was just so delicious there! So I have grown to really like it, doesn't everyone!?

7) TV OR BOOKS
TV. I wish that I could say I am that educated, book girl who reads a book a day and is all intelligent and knowledgable but no, I read very little. Probably because I am possibly the world's slowest reader so I tend to even loose interest, but also because I never seem to have time. Not to mention, I am a sucker for TV series too, so this is the clear winner.

8) APPLE OR WINDOWS
Apple. My MacBook Pro is everything. I use it all the time and would NEVER be able to go back to any other software now. I have become a bit of a technology snob with it. 

9) HISTORICAL EUROPE OR TROPICAL ISLANDS
Tropical Islands without a doubt. I love the sea and sun and beautiful walks on the beach. And rather shamefully, I admit that museums tend to bore me, even art galleries or exhibits. Historical towns aren't my cup of tea, let me snorkel in the Caribbean any day. 

10) NEW YORK OR LA
Hmm, also tough. Probably LA because, as I said, I love the beach and the sun. But there's something so exciting about NYC as well. I feel like you're just bound to be successful there, still a bit caught up in that American Dream philosophy at the moment, but come on, especially if you're not from the US, who wouldn't want to live in New York?

11) FACEBOOK OR TWITTER
Facebook because I feel like there is so much more that you can do on it. Although I like twitter a lot too. 

12) MORNING OR NIGHT 
I am not really a morning person, I hate waking up early, I don't like breakfast and I always go to bed late, even if I have nothing specific to do. I can quite easily stay up deep into the night rather than wake up very early. 

13) EYELINER OR LIPSTICK
Both preferably, but if I had to choose, probably eyeliner because my eyes feel so small without it and I don't usually use a lot of lipstick anyhow, usually just gloss or balm will do. 

14) SUMMER OR WINTER
I do like both. I think I am more of a summer person, but I do love so many things about winter too! Be sure to check out my 'What I Love About Winter' post!

15) MILKSHAKE OR ICE-CREAM
Ice cream for sure! After all, a milkshake is kind of just like melted ice cream haha

16) OUTDOORS OR INDOORS
Outdoors for sure. I like swimming and playing sports or going on picnics and stuff like that. I much prefer being outside than confined to my room for too long. 

17) BRACELETS OR NECKLACES
Bracelets. I don't really wear necklaces that much... although, actually, very recently, I have started liking wearing like shortish delicate little necklaces.

Feel free to do this Would You Rather tag too as a response- and please link me to let me know so I can check out your opinions :)
