A Few Of My Favourite Things

Hello!
As always, summer coupled with exams is weighing me down, but that never ceases my need to write. A lot of the things I have been writing recently have been fiction (and even that's a little short on the ground), so I decided to shape things up a bit and do the 20 of My Favourite Things tag!
I know my last post was also a tag but as soon as I sat down after a barbecue and a substantial piece of cake I knew that getting a proper blog out of me was impossible. It may not seem it, but a lot of my blogs take quite a while to write, specifically any that have theories, rumors or anything else that needs a source or certain wording to ensure it can't be misinterpreted *cough* PLL Series Six Facts *cough*. Although, that said, I really enjoyed writing that and hope to do another when the show goes on hiatus.
Enough of my ramblings, now onto the tag.

Favourite...

Colour- Black! Frankly, if you assumed anything else than I am ashamed. I am notorious for having some 'gothic' personality traits and along with those is a love for this colour.

Dessert- Before I answer, I would like to apply emphasis to how long and hard I thought about this question, because I really, really, really love food. And not like a normal person, like someone who once ran the length of a rather large classroom faster than I had ever ran previously, screaming, because I thought someone was throwing away some nachos with salsa and guacamole. Nonetheless, I'm going to have to pick my nan's Eton Mess. Strawberries, crushed meringue, chocolate shavings and cool, tangy creme fraiche.

Smell- Books. For sure. Old books, new books, they all have unique smells but each and every one is perfection. Basically it's crack for geeks.

Flower- Forget-me-nots. For all my life, my family have moved house every 1-3 years, having stayed in our longest house a little over 3 years. However, one thing that has remained constant is bunches of Forget-me-nots always end up in the back garden. I guess they are just one of the few pieces of consistency in my life and they always remind me of various happy memories from each of the eight houses.

Animal- Is it too Tumblr if I say sloths? They're just so cute and they squeak! Polar Bears and Giraffes are also top picks.

Month- September. It's a new academic year, which you will inevitably mess up, but at this point you hold onto the idea of being organised and hardworking. Plus, it's my birthday month. And who doesn't love Autumn? The colours alone are to die for!

Beverage-  Costa Coffee's White Hot Chocolate. Last year, I was in town and realised the Christmas drinks were on sale, so I lined up for one and got so excited that I cried.I probably shouldn't have admitted that, but that's how much I love it.

Shoes- Anyone who has ever met me will know of my obsession with Doc Martens. They're so comfy, waterproof, look absolutely beautiful and make me feel really great when I'm wearing them.

Snack- Either Pringles or Homous with breadsticks. Just not together. Ew.

Song/s- Right now, American Idiot by Green Day and My Chemical Romance's Teenagers.

Book- Don't make me choose! Honestly though, after the announcement that A Series of Unfortunate Events is about to become a Netflix original series, I have rediscovered my love for Lemony Snicket's 13 part series (I'm still only on the 10th but shhh).

Fruit- Pineapple, apart from when it burns your tongue. The things I do for food. 

Hairstyle- Just today, I tried out a new one, which I can feel I'm going to love for a long time. 

Piece/s of Clothing- Black ripped, skinny jeans are a must have, along with an army-style jacket. Tank tops are also an item of clothing that you can't go wrong with. 

Stores to Shop- Primark is a little, underrated gem in my opinion. It's great for cute tops, comfy jeans and don't even get me started on their pyjamas! I'm also rather fond of their stud earrings to add a little more to your school uniform. Another shop that I've began to love is H&M. They have sophisticated, comfy clothes that will suit any occasion. Both these shops are perfect for when you are budgeting, too. 

Season- Autumn, for sure! The colours, clothes, weather and atmosphere alone is enough to fall madly in love with. 

Hobby- As you've probably guessed, writing is a personal favourite of mine. 

Things to Collect- Memories. Why spend life collecting materialistic things when it's always the memories attached that matter?

Movie- Saving Mr Banks. Not only is it the telling of the making of a beloved childrens' classic, but it truly haunted me from the moment the credits rolled in. The story of P.L. Travers is so heartbreakingly beautiful, with performances from Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell and the rest of the cast to match.  

Restaurant- A local Indian restaurant, Ashiana. The food impressed me beyond belief and the night there was one filled with laughter and friends. 

So that's it, a few of my favourite things! I hope you enjoyed this insight into some of my personal preferences and I can't to write another blog for you guys.
