Top 3 Albums

Something different today, this is a post about music which is probably my biggest passion in life so i hope you don't mind me discussing it this week.

So my 3rd favourite album is Royal Blood's Album with their debut album - Royal Blood. The concept of using a Bass as a guitar rather than a guitar as a bass creates a fantastic sound against the drummer. Despite the fact that there are only two instruments it creates and incredible sound and pays a great tribute to Rock music. My favourite song is Little Monster which has amazing guitar riffs that force you into doing the air guitar unfortunately. They performed at the BRITS this year and were phenomenal (click here) and they even won the Best British Group and were nominated for a BBC Music Award this year.

2nd is Years & Years' long awaited debut album, Communion. In spite of the fact that I love rock, this band are very very good live even though they're an Electronica Trio, they manage to perform live and be entertaining unlike some bands that have proven disappointing (Jungle and Disclosure if I'm honest). You must've heard the hits 'King' and 'Desire' that many people loved. Their music makes me want to dance all the time and they've definitely nailed the modern electronica feel. My favourite songs from the album are 'Take Shelter' and 'Shine'.

The winner and my eternal love is Catfish & the Bottlemen with their album 'The Balcony'. There are no words to describe my love for this album, It's the first album I've ever listened to where I adore every single song. They've had an incredible year from playing at Reading & Leeds Festival last year, winning at the BBC Music Awards in 2014, getting 'Cocoon' on Fifa, filling in for Sam Smth at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend and playing their first ever Glastonbury the other week. I feel they will be huge, absolutely huge. They're such hard workers and love what they do. They deserve every success that they get and what's to come. Have a listen to Pacifier and Tyrants for their best songs live and and listen to the whole album on Spotify (to follow me my username is cerys.myfanwy).

Sunday Best

Sunday's are always a favourite for me; lie-ins til noon, drinking tea and watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. However Sunday the 21st of June this year was slightly more active than your average Sunday. We went to meet up with some friends in a very quaint and traditional pub in Bristol. An unexpected ray of sunshine greeted us and I could wear this outfit without shivering once.

With Summer paying a visit in the UK, I opted for a neon skort to accompany the sun and to contrast with a black racer style crop top from Topshop (a rhyme!)

My skort, shoes and sunglasses are all from last year - the struggles of being 16. The leather jacket is very old but of course they are timeless and can be bought any time of year, every year.

Cute, Comfy, Cosy Pajamas!

There's nothing I love more about Winter than snuggling up in a cosy pair of pajamas! It's that time of year where we swap our short, cheeky pajamas and opt for long, soft ones!

Personally, I love polka dots or tartan patterns for this time of year. Polka-dots are very 1950's, therefore are so sweet and look great on everyone when they're a long sleeve, button-up PJ shirt and long, soft trousers.

These pajamas are slightly more expensive as the percentage of cotton used in them is higher than what you'd get from inexpensive items. These are both very sweet styles, if you want an iconic t-shirt paired with sweet bottoms then the second one is best for you. If you want the "whole hog" then the first one is adorable and looks extremely comfortable! 

I adore this onezie from New Look and I want to get my hands on this! This must be a really snug item to wear in Winter in front of the fire, and talk endlessly about your excitement for Christmas :P This is only £15.99 and of course, if you don't have a New Look nearby, there's always tons of shops selling cute onezies like this!

Tartan is so pretty and is available in so many varieties of colors! You can wear this pattern as a set, a shirt and trousers, or you can just wear a basic t-shirt with the bottoms!

I'd also like to add that the patterned jersey pajamas are very pretty and really comfortable, you can wear them all day for a 'lazy day'! Available in so many different patterns and colors! Very cosy!

Statement Winter Piece!

Hats!

Recently I've had a desire for hats. It's quite different for me as I've never been a "hat person" before. I've always been a shoe girl but never a hat girl.

This season I thought I'd jump out of my comfort zone, miles out of my comfort zone... Anyway :P

Therefore I have my 3 favorite hats for Autumn/Winter 2013, I purchased one last Christmas and purchased the other two a few weeks ago so you can still buy them yourself!

This is my favorite purchase of the season by far! This classic black bowler hat is so sweet and goes with everything. I think it adds a slight kick and flare to your outfit! I'd recommend this style of hat to you hat people as I find it very chic! 

This was from H&M and it was really inexpensive, around £10-£15 which is complete bargain and it is 100% wool so fortunately I think this will last a really long time.

The next hat I purchased recently is this slightly off-white bobble knitted hat. This is absolutely adorable! Perfect for cold winter days and it will complete your layered outfits and the bobble is just the best! 

This was also from H&M (I love that shop:P) and it was £7.99 so another bargain. It's 30% wool and 70% acrylic so it's super comfy and snuggly, love it!

My final hat that I'm sharing with you is this amazing black, sequined beret. I got this in the sale at Dune last Christmas so unfortunately this specific beret isn't available, but there are so many shops that sell berets in all sorts of colors! I'm sure you can find a sequined as well!

 

This is slightly on the pricier side, although it was in the sale it was still £19 which some may say is a rip off but this has lasted since December and I'm very pleased with the quality. I recommend Dune for the higher quality berets but shops like H&M, New Look or Topshop certainly have them but at a slightly less expensive price.

Thank you for reading!

A good old trip to the Seaside!

Langland

 How cute! Little beach huts, although not quite as glamorous as Brighton;)

On Saturday, as a family we decided to take a trip to a beach called Langland about 45 minutes away from us. Of course, here in the UK it's not quite the beach weather we'd all love to have.

You must be thinking, 'what's the point going to a beach without the weather?' Well, we didn't exactly go for the sand and sea, but the fact that there was a lovely walk along the clifftops where you could see the sun bounce off the surface of the sea and below your feet you can hear the crashing of small waves against the rocks.

It was a lovely brisk walk as it wasn't too hot or too chilly and the view was lovely, although there were a lot of clouds in the sky, haha.

Winter's nearing, the branches are bald :O

Although there was not much sun, the beach still looked lovely!

I wore my new skirt from H&M which is one of my favourite purchases, paired with a plain royal blue crop top (a bargain from Primark) and I accessorized very minimally with a simple denim jacket and my royal blue Vans for the walking!

Mumbles

On our way back, we had a cheeky stop in Mumbles where we had an even cheekier Joe's Ice Cream! This is amazing. That's all I have to say.

The classic North Pole, yummy!
