May Favourites

Hello guys!! I'm back!! This year is flying by before my eyes, as if it is June already and I have never been more ready for the summer. May has always been one of my favourite months ( and not just because its my birthday month). To me May always seems to be filled with such happiness and fun times, and this years May was really better than ever. 

My birthday is on the 1st of May which is always close to a bank holiday, this year it actually landed on the bank holiday which was a bonus! I decided to spend the Sunday night with my closest friends having a well deserved night out so of course I had to find the perfect birthday dress, I spent hours browsing online boutiques, until I finally found the dream dress from Oh Polly. The dress is a fake PVC material which I got in the colour baby pink but the nude colour is also BEAUTIFUL. The dress is something I would never usually go for, I own nothing like it but I thought I would step out of my comfort zone for the special night and luckily it worked out a dream. The dress fitted perfectly, it was so figure hugging for my shape which really showed off my best parts and hid the not so great parts haha. However through the night my dress did rip on my bum which was a bit of a nightmare and very embarrassing but with a little bit of nail glue and a handbag size sewing kit we saved it! Oh Polly were so lovely about it, they apologised for the faulty item and sent me a new one the next day, such a lovely brand.

I don't think it would be possible to do a May favourites post without mentioning a birthday present. My lovely brother had seen be eyeing up a planner/dairy in Urban Outfitters for months which I just couldn't justify myself buying as it was quite pricey for what it is so he surprised me with it for my birthday. Now I have this planner I don't know how I used to live without it, it is an absolute life saver and totally worth the money. It has a beautiful pastel pink marble print cover and the pages inside are made for an organisation freak like me haha. I love using it to split my never ending to do list into what days and times I can complete each task, I received the planner in the middle of exam season so it worked a treat for organising revision and essay writing.

My next favourite is something I had been meaning to read for so so long and I am so happy I have now finished it as I can honestly say it has changed my life. The book is You are a Badass by Jen Sincere, I don't want to say too much about this book as I am planning on doing a full length book review, however I will say the author is amazing, its such an easy read and everybody should give it a go! 



Amazon | £6.99

Now I have finished my first year of Uni I am a bit lost, not knowing what to do with myself now exams are over. I have decided to give myself a week or two of chill time which consists of binge watching Youtube while eating cookie dough ice-cream from the tub. The Youtuber I can't get enough of at the moment is Conan Grey, I found him not so long ago but since I have I just can't stop watching him, I'm either watching his videos or listening to his music on repeat! His music is so calming and the music videos, vlogs and chatty videos all have this vintage, creative feel to them which have really inspired me to create more. He is so different and inspiring, and his Lana Del Rey cover of Radio is unbelievable!

I could go on forever with favourites from May as there has been so many but these are the ones that have really stood out this month. Hope you have enjoyed this post, please comment if you would like to see more favourite posts in the future?
