I Heart New York is the first of the five 'I Heart' books by Lindsay Kelk. For anyone who has already read the book, how much do you want Angela's life?! Aside from the fact her boyfriend of 10 years cheats on her, she gets to live in New York, buy beautiful handbags and make up, meet gorgeous men and did I already mention? She lives in New York! Right now, the above seem pretty unrealistic to me, but apart from that you can really relate to the main character Angela. The book flows with such ease and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every page. One of the best things about the book are the ... Read the Post...
A Day Out To: Uppermill and Holmfirth!
Yesterday me and my family decided we wanted to go somewhere and to do something, as it's not often we're all free on a Sunday. After visiting my Grandad for his birthday, we decided to visit Uppermill, after me asking to go for weeks! Uppermill is a little village just past Oldham near Manchester, and only has one main road with a couple of shops on. It's very quaint, and is home to one off boutiques, cafes, pubs and charity shops. I love visiting book shops and hunting for bargains in charity shops, especially as the money goes to charity! After Uppermill we drove up through ... Read the Post...
The Book Review #2 – Warm Bodies
This Sunday's review is about Warm Bodies which was written by Isaac Marion. I'd seen the advert for the film a couple of times and really wanted to see it, but I picked the book up before making my way to the cinema. I find that I enjoy reading the books more than watching the films in some circumstances; I get more drawn into them and feel like a part of the story. The book was described as a "zombie romance" and that pretty much sums it up. The book is written in first person, and is narrated by a zombie who inhabits a post apocalyptic America. Throughout the ... Read the Post...
A Day Out To: Heaton Park!
Today I was off work, and as I usually work every Saturday I wanted to take the opportunity and do something different! Waking up and seeing the gorgeous weather was definitely a bonus. So after visiting one of my boyfriends favourite fish shops (another story for a different day...), we decided to go to Heaton Park. For those of you who don't know what Heaton Park is, it's a large family park and is now owned by the city council. However, between 1684 and 1902, the park was owned by only two different families and you can definitely feel the historic aspect of the park. Along with the ... Read the Post...
Company Magazine Fashion Forum + Tips!
Last night I attended the Company Magazine Fashion Forum in Manchester and it was brilliant! I met some lovely people (Yasminaa and Katie, click their names to read their blogs - I recommend!) and learned so much! After going the complete wrong way at first (yes, even though I'm actually from Manchester...) we got there eventually and were offered a drink that was included in the ticket price. Red and white wine, champagne and orange juice were offered but I chose water, I'm not even sure why?! At around 7pm we made our way into the lecture theatre which was filled ... Read the Post...
