But I'm quite alright hiding today

Here is a short compilation of lovely things I have purchased over the past few weeks, that I had to document. 

This completely gorgeous top was in the sale and the only one left in store was my size ( it was meant to be) I love the lace edging and the tiny pockets that you can't fit anything in, topshop

super cute bird necklace that I got for £1 in a charity shop 

VERY awesome semi-precious stone necklace that is I picked up at a car boot sale for £3.
 I really want to know what this stone is called if anyone knows pls pls tell me. 

I also purchased 'marie antoinette' for a bargain 50p also at a car boot sale. I watched it last night and like very single 
other teenage blogger gurl I loved the lavish aesthetic and awesome cakes. 

A dreamy song for long dreary days 

lots of love

Songs for Sleep.

Lucky Ones - Lana Del Rey

It's Hard to Get Around the Wind - Alex Turner

Above are the two best songs (in my opinion) for getting to sleep from the two artists I am newly obsessed with. 

Lana's album has a mix, really, of upbeat songs and slower ballads, but they all have a certain tragic, romantic quality that makes me positively drunk with emotion whenever I hear it. Million Dollar Man has that really classic, super-romantic croon that Lana does so well, and the chorus of Lucky Ones I think just sounds like a lullaby. I think it's a really sweet song.

And Alex Turner's soundtrack for Submarine is so perfect for both the film and the book that I can scarcely believe it; I'm not usually a huge fan of soundtracks on their own, I usually focus more on the film (and also, sometimes when a soundtrack is not that good, it just ruins the atmosphere of the film for me), but with this particular one it just matches so perfectly with the film. I don't know if I noticed as much before I listened to the soundtrack on its own, but now that I have, I think that no other music would have been as well-suited to the film as Alex Turner's is.

Love and submarines,

Sinead
