Girl Talk: Shopping With Lou!

-
Yesterday, I went shopping with my mum and sister.

I say shopping, but it was more like wish-list shopping. Since my birthday and Christmas are only 13 days apart, and both shortly approaching, rather than asking for all of the things that I want now, I would look around and see what's around so I can put them on my birthday/Christmas list later!

So, rather than just shopping, I thought I'd bring my camera along (or the camera in my phone) and take pictures of some of the things that I am interested in, and show them to you.

I hope you enjoy seeing what I like!

First up is this really cute Christmas jumper. I've never really had a Christmas jumper before, but when I saw this, I thought that it was really nice, and I like the fact that the scarf hangs off the jumper. The only thing is it wasn't that thick, so may not be ideal for Christmas time!

I saw this and got so excited! I haven't been watching The Vampire Diaries for very long, but I am a huge fan and I would love to have this calendar in my room for next year!


Sorry that the first picture is blurry, the superdrug was very busy! Anyway, this is the first time that I have seen the 'Zoella Beauty' products in the flesh, so I got very excited. They're not the cheapest products, and there are too many to choose from so I didn't buy them there and then. The candle in the second picture smelt so nice! It was a fresh scent without being too overwhelming.

I saw this purse in Next and it caught my eye because the letters look like they're written in snow, and I thought that it was really cool, as it says!

This is something else that I saw in Next. It is half a heart and I thought that the fact that it was quite small and dainty made it really nice and cute.

Carrie Hope Fletcher spoke about this book in one of her videos and I thought it sounded really interesting, and I wanted to read it. So when I went into Waterstones, I immediately recognised it and wanted to buy it. But I'll have to wait until December!

I also saw 'The Pointless Book' by Alfie Deyes and got really excited, so I thought I'd take a picture of it. Number 3 on the shelf!


These two things, I did actually buy. You probably know how much I love horror movies, so I was really excited to see these two. 'Devil's Due' is a film that I had seen the trailer for and I really liked the look of it, so I had to buy it. 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' is the first 'Nightmare On Elm Street' film staring Johnny Depp and I haven't seen it, so I also had to buy it!

Thank you for reading.

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Miller's Girl | Film Review

A creative writing assignment complicates the relationship between a teacher (Martin Freeman) and his student (Jenna Ortega). I heard about this film maybe once and remember being interested in it, but then I never heard anything about it again. So when I saw it was available to rent/buy on Prime Video, I decided to give it a shot.  I don't know what to make of this one. I didn't hate it, but there wasn't a lot to like. The only thing I did like was that Martin Freeman and Jenna Ortega worked really well together and had good chemistry. I'd love to see them work together again, in a film with a better plot and a less weird (platonic) relationship. The characters are written really weirdly. There were many moments when they said things that were just so unbelievable, especially Jenna Ortega's character, Cairo. Another odd aspect of the film was the tone - I could never tell if things were supposed to feel sinister or not because the film couldn't decide how it wa

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i

Snatch | 100 Movies Bucket List

I'd never heard of this film before last year, when I watched it for the first time, so this time around was my second watch. Guy Richie's movies tend to be a bit hit-or-miss for me. This is one of the only ones where I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other. I didn't love the story, it didn't hold my interest the whole way through. But one thing that I absolutely loved was the dialogue. It was smart, quippy and made the film a much more fun watch than the plot itself would suggest. Another thing I absolutely loved was Brad Pitt's performance. This was probably one of my favourite roles of his. He did a great job with the character, and it was really different to everything else I've seen him in. But that being said, all of the performances were great. For me, if I had to guess why this film is considered a classic, it would 100% be because of the script and performances, rather than the film as a whole. It was the script that kept me locked in and
