Paint me colourful

I have a thing about bright colours at the moment as they are making me happy through all the mountains of work I have to do. One thing that is especially good for making things bright is nail varnish. On my bookshelf I have all my varnishes lined up in colour order. I have reds, oranges, blues, greens, purples, the list goes on. But there's still one colour I'm yet to find, the elusive Barry M mint green. I say this because I took a special trip to Boots last week and there was no mint green shade to be found. Barry M's colours are amazingly bright and paint on really well, even on my stumpy nails. Hopefully I'll have better look next time.

Summer needs to come quicker!

I can't wait for summer! It's starting to tempt us all with days or moments in days with bright, warm sunshine and it's not quite so freezing on an evening. I just love summer, I like going outside without worrying about taking lots of layers of clothes and not coming home shivering and having to jump into bed to get warm again.
I love summer fashion. I love how relaxed it is with guys in shorts and tshirts and girls in vest tops, floaty skirts, shorts or summery dresses. Everyone seems a lot calmer because even if you're having a bad day the sunshine makes it that bit better.
I also love Quinn from glee's fashion, it's all girly with pastel colours which are in fashion at the moment. If you've watched the show you'll know what I mean with floaty layers, cute little cardigans and ribbon headbands. I think everyone needs to take some inspiration from this for summer!

Rediscovering music

I was on the bus today listening to my ipod on shuffle, and Linkin Park and Jay Z came on. What an amazing collaboration it was, I'm still kind of in awe of it. Obviously most people will know Numb/Encore, but I also love Points of Authority/99 Problems. I love the fact that the songs alone are great songs, and put together they are still great. I would've never have thought that these songs work work well together until they did.

Also, I'm going to see Laura Marling next week, yay! I love how chilled and relaxed her music is. It's also in the Opera House in York, so definitely grander than the usual gig places I frequent!
