Other favourites of this year

A few more of my favourite things that has provided inspiration and kept me going this year.

Favourite designer piece: Louis Vuitton dress as worn on Vanessa Hudgens for Instyle magazine.

It doesn't first strike you as an amazing piece, but it stuck in my brain for ages. I love the different parts of it, and she looks amazing in it. It's also shiny which is always a good thing.

Favourite high street piece: the bear hat!

The bear hat from River Island is actually amazing. It has been worn by Katy Perry and many others. It's so warm and snuggly, I always feel lost without it, if I leave it in the house on the way to uni.

Favourite films: 5oo days of summer and New moon

I know New moon is predictable, but I love the books and think the films have been done in a good way, and with Death Cab for Cutie on the soundtrack, how can it not be good. Although the Twihards do irritate me. 500 days of summer is great. Zooey Deschanel is just fascinating on screen. The fashion and styling of the film is great.

Favourite TV: Gossip girl, True blood and the Vampire diaries.

Gossip girl is just great, as much as I want not to like it, as it is quite unrealistic and cheesy at times, I can't not watch it. I never thought I'd get into True blood or Vampire diaries, but again, they're quite addictive.

Favourite music: Friendly Fires and Florence and the Machine

I saw both of these at the NME tour at the beginning of this year. I'll always remember Florence getting on stage and start singing, and the whole crowd just went silent in amazement at her voice. That hasn't happened to any other support I've seen all year. And her cover of Halo in the live lounge was one of the best in my opinion and was voted 3rd best live lounge ever by Radio 1 listeners. Friendly Fires are amazing too, I loved seeing them and really want to see them again. Their songs make me cheery every time I hear them and the lead singers dancing is so good.
