My Summer Wishlist

-
 

Hey all x
 
If you live in the UK, you would have joined me in experiencing the heat wave that we are currently going through! 30-35 degrees may not seem hot at all to people who don't live in or haven't experienced temperatures in the UK before, but trust me, it is crazy hot over here!
 
I am not a huge fan of summer. That seems like a strange thing to say, but I prefer life within the winter months. My birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Bonfire night and New Years are all towards the end of the year and these are some of my favourite times (Particularly my birthday and Christmas), but as we are well into summer, I need to learn to accept that it's just going to get hotter!
 
Because my birthday is right at the end of the month (December 12th), every year, I have a whole list of things that I want, but have to wait for until my birthday or Christmas to get them from friends and family.
 
I thought I would show you guys a list of things that I want to buy, or be bought for me, this summer!
 

A Tablet

 
I love reading, and I have so many books that I have to get through, some of which are eBooks. I don't have a kindle or an iPad to read these eBooks, and I think that a tablet would be the easiest thing to get because I could read, use the internet, and I've been told that they're cheaper than iPads!
 

Harem Pants

I got my first pair of Harem Pants a few weeks ago and I can't stop wearing them! If I didn't have to go to college, I'd never take them off! (I could wear them to college, but I don't feel they'd be appropriate for the fashion show that society says we should dress for 24/7) I saw this exact version and I loved them! Especially for summer, because the bright colour reminds me of warmth and I think it would look nice with just a normal black t-shirt.
 

Sunglasses

 
I wear glasses. And if you also do, you feel my pain in the fact that wearing sunglasses is a choice between having fashion and having sight! Granted, I have quite bad eyesight, but I have never been one for prescription sunglasses, so I've always chosen not to wear them. However, in Niomi Smart's 'March Favourites' video, she showed the sunglasses above and I instantly fell in love with them. I doubt I'd be able to get them as prescription sunglasses, but I think I want to buy them anyway, to wear if I go to the beach or something while I'm on holiday.
 

Driving Lessons

 
I kind of feel like I am leaving this late, but I need to learn to drive! Depending on where you go, the lessons can be quite expensive. And due to my exams last month, I didn't think it was the right time to learn. But this summer is definitely the right time! I want to have a license and be saving up to buy a car before January 2015, I just hope I can get there!
 

Heels

These shoes are on the ASOS website and I loved them as soon as I saw them! I have never tried to walk in heels. I am an extremely clumsy person who stumbles bare-foot, so it never made sense to put obstacles under my feet. But I figure that I have to learn to walk in heels sometime!
 

A Piercing

 
 
This particular piercing is called a 'scaffolding', and this is the piercing that I have wanted for the last year at least. Different things have stopped me from getting it, or put me off. But I figure, if I don't get it now, I'll probably chicken out and never get it!
 

A Dress

I love this dress! I have only really started wearing dresses this summer and have fallen in love with them. I found this dress and immediately wanted to buy it. I'm going nowhere special this summer, but I still think I'm going to buy this dress, or a dress quite similar to this. It is a style that I love and I love the black and white theme.
 
Thank you for reading.
These are all the things that I hope to get this summer!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

-

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
