June Favourites | 2016



Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! You know what time it is, monthly favourites time, woop woop!
Its nearing the end of my school term, and i will hopefully have more time to blog, so leave some post suggestions below:)

Fashion:

Boyfriend Jeans

Only one fashion favourite this month, and it is these pair of boyfriend or mom jeans. I do have another pair of these but i feel these ones fit a lot better, plus they have a cute flower design on them! This pair was £17.00 from Primark.





TV & Film:

Bates Motel

You guys know i go through two or three TV shows a month, so I'll start with Bates Motel. I first heard about this from VelvetGh0st on youtube, it sounded like the perfect show to me, and let me tell you i whizzed through season one, i am currently on season three and its super good. To sum it up its kind of a physiological thriller/mystery. Go watch it if you haven't already!

 

Sailor Moon

I think everyone and their cat has watched this, and I've been super into anime, so i decided to watch the queen of all animes, sailor moon! This is the perfect programme to binge watch and that's exactly what i did. I also think this is perfect for anime beginners.

 

 Jane Eyre

As I've been completely obsessed with period drama/films recently, i had to watch this, and I'm so glad i did! I loved every minute of it and i one hundred percent recommend this! (version with Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender)

Me Before You

This is the best (modern) romance film ever! I loved it so much, it will make you laugh and cry (maybe at the same time). It also has a wonderful message, and i urge everyone, even if you don't like romance films, to go and watch it!



 Youtubers:

Gabriella Lindley (vlog channel)

Don't get me wrong i love gabby's main channel, but theres something so addicting about her vlogs. She is one of my favourite vloggers by far!

Simply_Kenna

I find Mckenna and her videos so interesting and unique, also her videos are so original, you should go check her out!

Random:

Peas in a Pod Tsum Tsum

As you know i have a small collection of tsum tsums, so i decided to get this one! Its so cute, and its also great for cleaning phone/laptop screens!


 Best Fiends Game

I know so many youtubers have been sponsored by this game, but i am not. I genuinely love this app, its super addicting and such a great game for when you're bored.





That's it for this months favourites, hope you liked it! Don't forget to like, comment and follow my blog.
