Favourite things of this month...

Favourite woman: Florence Welch from Florence and the machine

Coming from pretty much nowhere, Florence and the machine released a few singles over the past year, including 'Kiss with a fist'. She has the most powerful voice live and was probably one of the best people I've seen live this year. Her strange fashion tastes has also been a topic for discussion, especially as Topshop designed three unique outfits for her to wear at Glastonbury this year. Plus, her album is soon to be released, very excited!

Favourite man: Johnny Depp

With his new film, Public Enemies coming out soon and looking pretty good, I had to have him as favourite man, who doesn't love his randomness?!

Favourite artist: Lenka

Again, I hadn't really heard much from the artist until recently. But after hearing her in Radio 1's live lounge a couple of weeks back, I've started to look into the music she's been creating. It's all very cute and easy to listen to. However, her voice is amazing and her cover of Friendly fire's 'jump in the pool' was amazing. She's also big on arts and crafts and makes decorations for her performances on stage, so that's another thumbs-up from me. :)

Favourite photo: Emma Watson for Teen Vogue

Teen vogue do do amazing photo shoots, in particular, their more obscure ones. Emma Watson's also appealed to me as she is British so it's good that she's getting recognition in American magazines. This was the best photo, in my opinion.

Favourite thing: Babyglow

There's a new invention in the baby clothing world = babygrows that change colour when your baby is too hot. It was designed to give you warning, in order to spot serious illnesses as quickly as possible. The clothing's ink contains a pigment with heat sensitive molecules, which means that when the baby is too hot (37C or above), the clothes turn from a colour to white. Designed by Chris Ebejer, this clothing seems a bit pointless as you'd probably be able to tell if your baby was too hot, but still the idea is quite interesting.

On a final note, I'm looking forward to seeing the film Sunshine Cleaning, starring Emily Blunt and Amy Adams, both of which are pretty good actresses and the film is made by the creators of Little Miss Sunshine.
