Counting the days on her fingers

I really can't believe I am off to Thailand tomorrow! I probably won't be able to post for a while so here is a little list of things...

A film I watched recently

is Le Fils de l'epicier (The Grocers Son). Sadly I couldn't find very many stills online but it is honestly one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. The main character is gorgeous too

An album I've listened to recently


is Two Suns by Bat for Lashes. Well actually I bought it a while ago, and I just haven't got around to posting it, but it is amazing. I really want to get her debut when I come back, that's meant to be even better.

A photo I took recently


on the train. If I'm honest I really haven't taken enough pictures recently but I found this earlier when clearing my camera. It was taken whilst on the train back from my boyfriend's house last weekend (hence the grubbiness), which is always a sad journey, but that bit there is really beautiful.

A book I'm reading


Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. Even though I'm only half way through and probably too young to understand it properly, I can honestly say that irregardless of its storyline, it's the most beautifully written book I've ever read.

And finally

a pretty dress because this post wouldn't be complete without one aha! You can get this in three colours, but I think the blue's my favourite, I really want to get it when I get home! Oh and it's from Topshop, obviously!

That's all from me for a while, be back in two weeks! x

  4. nice pick!
    umm,,i don't really like Lolita, but I love how Vladimir made pornography become doesn't look like pornography,,
    there's no kind of bad word, porn words and stuff.
    he didn't describe those "porn scene" openly.
    such a legend book,
    =)

  10. Lovely post. I've never read Lolita - I feel like I'm missing out on something great. I shall try and find myself a copy.
    I love the dress - I tried it on in topshop - it's really pretty but it didn't quite suit me sadly. It is a beauty x
