1. Favourite Person -
I ♡ Blair Waldorf. Blair has been a huge inspiration to me this month since I've become obsessed with the Gossip Girl series. Her fashion sense is seriously classic but sexy and definitely on point, her attitude is full of unsaid feminism and self belief, and her one true love is the infamous Chuck Bass, whom I may have tiny (astronomical) crush on. Not only has Blair inspired me in lots of ways this month, her character has just had me in a daze of admiration, and there isn't a single person I've loved more this February.
2. Favourite Book -
I ♡ Divergent Series. I've loved the Divergent series for many months, but due to the books film adaptation premiering soon, I've taken to re-reading and falling in love once again with Divergent and it's world. When I read, I enjoy reading fantasy - in books escapism is a really important factor for me, and this book provides just that. It gives you an insight into a completely different word and era, and tells us a lot about the sheer enormity of girl power through the books protagonist Tris, whom is a kick-ass divergent trying to find a place in her own corrupt world. This series is seriously and soppily heart wrenching; with the perfect amount of violence, action and plot twists to even the scales. You can find the trailer for the movie here - who doesn't love a little of Shailene Woodley and Theo James?
3. Favourite Film/TV Series -
I ♡ Gossip Girl. It's hilariously ironic that my blog post sign off was 'XoxoE' even before I became obsessed with the world of the Upper East Side, but I'm now beginning to think it might be fate. I started watching Gossip Girl less than a month ago, and I'm already almost through with Season 5, and I'm sure when it comes to the end of Season 6, I'll be locking myself away in the corner of a dark room, rocking back and forth and muttering about a new scandal or how the Van Der Woodsen's should adopt me as their new child. Not one single episode has yet disappointed - the acting is outstanding, the story lines are scarily hooking, and the male leads (Chuck, Nate and Dan of course) are all seriously hot. I find as a viewer, that even though the lives of those in Manhattan may be far away from our own, we can relate to aspects of their lives as easily as we can relate to our closest friends, and that each character has respectable and redeeming qualities and make life in the Upper East Side look positively peachy, even if there is a new scandal every day. I simply cannot give this show enough praise, in all it's secret stuffed, character scheming glory, it has to be the most prestigious and the best show I've ever watched.
I ♡ Crop Tops. While spring has started to spring(?) on us, I think crop tops are the way forward, and because of this revelation, I've been wearing crop tops a lot this month. They look good with jeans, shorts, skirts, skorts and even under cute little pinny dresses or a pair of adorable dungarees. All I know is, I can't get enough of these midriff bearing shirts.
5. Favourite Drink -
I ♡ Caramel Latte. Usually iced coffee is more in my line of drinking preferences, but this month I decided to venture out and start trying a different order at Starbucks rather than my usual white-chocolate-mocha-frappucino-with-extra-whipped-cream-and-a-choclalte-drizzle; because really, it's a little bit of a mouthful, even if it does taste absolutely delicious. So, when me and my Mum went out for a coffee date, I chose to be more adventurous and opt for a large mug of Caramel Latte goodness, and all hail!, it was a wise choice. Ever since, I've been getting my Dad to cook me one up when I stay over. And so, this hearty choice (puns!) will hopefully help me try more new yummy creations not only at Starbucks, but in the food department too, as I'm more of a fussy eater than most. Fingers crossed!
I ♡ Black and White Brogues. As he weather starts becoming more neutral, find my outfits becoming less and less edgy and formal, which is how I usually dress, because due to the lapses in cold weather, I seem to make less effort as the months dwindle by. This month I've found tat my black brogues are able to make any outfit look more sophisticated and put together, and well, more me than a pair of baggy boyfriend jeans and a band tee. My black and white brogues have been my fashion saviours this month, so if you don't have these wardrobe paramedics in your shoe collection, you should seriously consider calling for their help!
I ♡ The 1975. For months now, I've been love, love, loving the 1975, and a mon avis (as the critical French would say), they are the new thing this year. Their music is a fun mix of pop, rock, indie and alternative, and their image is this perfectly tangible 'I don't give a f*ck' kind of aura, and I simply cannot get enough. With approval from the likes of Harry Styles, this band has to only be going up from here, and in my humble opinion, they'll be at the top - especially in my book - for a long time coming.
