1. Chester Zoo
Theres nothing quite like turning 18 and wanting to return back to your younger years with a good friend just because the new found responsibilities of being an adult are too much to handle. At the begining of August myself and my best pal decided to take a carefree (for the most part) trip to Chester Zoo in the hope of a fun-filled day containing animals, lots of sunshine and even more laughing. All of the animals that we saw were in beautiful condition and, aside from the wasps and my friend getting her ticket stuck in her bag leading to us having to cut through layers of pocket with the bluntest scissors you have ever seen, it was such a stress free, laugh out loud, infinitaly memorable day.
I find buying swimwear one of the most daunting things because, lets be honest ladies, none of us are really too fond of our body and it's difficult when you look down and say "oh come on, actually give me something to work with here" when it comes to the cleavage department. I had put off buying new swimwear for the entire summer, knowing that my holiday was getting closer by the day and if I didn't buy anything soon I was getting to be stuck buying something horrific that no one else wanted and I'd feel even worse about the situation than I would have done if I'd have gone for it when stocks were high. Saying this, the first week of August I took a hopeful tripn to Debenhams and luckily enough I managed to find this floral 2 piece from Mantaray. Though a little more than I would have usually payed for swimwear, this bikini is so well made and pretty plus, I didn't feel 100% horrific-want-to-cry-and-never-be-seen-outdoors-again which was an absolute bonus! I know summer is more or less over, but if any of you lucky few are still going on holiday sometime soon you should definitely check out the Mantaray collection on the Debenhams website, even though they may not stock this particular bikini anymore.

The Isles of Scilly are a quaint collection of islands situated just 28 miles of the Cornish coast and I like tot hink of it as my second home. The first time I visited the islands I was a mere 6 weeks old so I have always had a great fondness of them and fortunately, my parents love it there so much that we visit most summers. I've never been to a place with prettier views and nicer people. If you ever have a chance to explore there, you're in for an absolute treat.

I'm a sucker for jewellery and when it is as beautiful as these two piece, you just try and stop me buying some. Scilly Gems make all of their own jewellery whether it be from debry found of the beach, stones and shells, or even paper and old drinks cans. I think the thing I love about things like this is that no two pieces are the same so you're always going to have your own individual design and so far, both of these pairs have had a lot of compliments so far for only £3.50 each they were an absolute bargain!
Though I have read this series countless times, they will never stop being brilliantly captivating to me. I managed to read the majority of the series whilst on holiday again and I think the thing I love most about them is that though you know the end result, they always still manage to lure you in and break your heart, make you smile and become best friends with the characters time and time again.
This is possibly one of the most biased favourites I will ever have, but I do not care. I'm doing it anyway because it is 100% worth it. A good friend of mine, Jamie Henry is a musician from Carlisle who now resides in London. In the near future, Jamie will be bringing out his first EP Elephant and a couple of weeks back he brought out one of the tracks from the EP which is called Frankenstein as a taster track to show us what is instore. I was once again moved when listening to this track as you feel as though there is always meaning in his music which is refreshing as a lot of music that seems to be produced now can seem to lack any real passion at all. I recommend that you all go and listen to this track on Jamie's soundcloud and join me in waiting with anticipation for the EP.
