Simply a few of my favourite things...

I cannot believe it's been so long since I wrote something! I do apologise! I'm just getting into the swing of things at uni i.e. essays and deadlines, plus trying to sample all that London has to offer, whilst attempting to find a job! But, I know, they're no excuse for not updating my beloved blog!
 
So, whilst I've been absent from here I have obtained some new favourite clothes, music and places- and they're exactly what I'm going to dedicate this post to...

1) My new coat.
It's FINALLY time to pull on the big coats, fluffy scarves and gloves as winter is upon us! I have to admit it's my favourite time of the year, and going to the Oxford Street Christmas Lights switch on yesterday just confirmed it! Christmas is the best, and its even better when you have a new coat to wear everyday leading up to it! I found this one in Next, with the oxblood colour first drawing me to it. It's so warm and comfy with the fur collar, and is peplum style (my favourite style, as it hides all the sins) =LOVE.




 
2) 'Roots'- Orla Gartland
I was flicking through the newest songs on iTunes the other day and saw the word 'FREE'. Now, as a student I felt obliged to take full advantage of such an offer and so immediately downloaded it- and I'm so glad I did! It's become one of my favourite songs of this month and I have it on repeat during those crowded and long tube journeys to uni! I think it should still be on iTunes and, if it is, I urge you to get it! She has such a lovely voice and the song is beautiful- I've not been able to get it out of my head for days!


3) Café Nero's 'Low fat Blueberry Muffins'-
One word: DEVINE. And, low in fat (in case it's name didn't already give that away...). Who could resist? Well, not me! I buy at least one a week since discovering them, and never feel guilty for doing so.
 
4) My new boots.
Since I broke the heel of my boots on the way back from a night out (don't ask me how because I can't remember, which is not a good sign!), I have been on the hunt for some replacement ones. My broken ones were from Dorothy Perkins and had served me well, so I headed back there to see if I could lay my hands on some more. And that's where I found these ones. They're uber comfortable, and the crocodile skin detail on the heel is beaut.


5) Wahaca
I simply love Mexican food and since moving to London it has become part of my weekly diet. I've tried a few different Mexican restaurants whilst I've been here, but Wahaca has to be my fave. The atmosphere is great, and the food is even better. It's quick service and the staff are all lovely. I went for a selection of dishes, which has changed each time I've been there because there's just so much choice! But, my desert of Chocolate y Churros has remained the same each time! I first had these on an exchange trip in Malaga, Spain and so, when I spotted them on the menu, simply HAD to order them again- for memories sake! Soooooo gooooood!
