Blog Makeover / Leave Your Blog Links

I lost interest in blogging in April/May 2012 (which I wrote a bit about here and here. Looking back I wasn't happy with what I was posting and I didn't feel as though I was getting anything out of what I was doing. I then spent a few months finally following other bloggers and reading some pretty awesome content which helped to recapture my interest in blogging.

I decided that the best way to start would be to redesign the ol' blog to give it a bit of a new look so I started to learn little bits and pieces of HTML and CSS (which I still struggle with). Then that was followed by bringing in a bit of new content which included posts like Life As A Film Student, my first In the Cinema post, Wishlists, my first ever outfit post Rottweiler and a few others.

Almost 3 years later I'm still blogging but once again I feel like I need to make a change, a bit in content, a lot in my own blogger love (commenting on blogs and following other bloggers) and quite a bit in the look and layout of my blog. So after talking it through with my sister I decided to buy a blog layout after quite a bit of searching on Etsy. Hopefully I'll get everything up and running in the next couple of days or sometime next week, but stick with me if things start to look a bit strange.

Also while I get everything sorted out feel free to leave your blog links in the comments so I can follow some more bloggers.

Empire's Worst Films of 2014

So once again Empire has made me a very happy bunny by creating their Review of the Year, a massive review of things such as the best and worst films, playlists, posters, characters, trailers and a whole lot more.

I, Frankenstein - My dad has already watched it and he said it wasn't all that bad so I think I'll give it a go. Edit:So I've finally got the chance to watch this film and yeah, I didn't really like it. Demons and gargoyles people, demons and gargoyles.
A New York Winter's Tale
Postman Pat The Movie

Grace of Monaco
Pudsey The Dog: The Movie
A Million Ways to Die in the West

Transcendence - I remember when I first heard about this film, I thought it was going to be really good. Apparently not according to Empire but I think I still want to watch it.
Robocop - I watched this earlier this month and I actually quite liked it. It was a little rubbish in some parts but I still like it.
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie

The Book Thief
Need For Speed
Third Person

Men, Women & Children
The Other Woman
Tammy


Have you seen any films that should be on this list?

Outfit | Ripped

Stripes (3)Stripes (1)hhStripes (1)-Stripes (2)-
Faux Leather Jacket - H&M || Ivory Stripe Double Top - Mint Velvet || Jeans - Asos || Boots - New Look


I actually can't remember where I wore this outfit but I do know that I absolutely love it! I got this top sometime last year as part of my work uniform because I loved the floaty top layer and the fitted vest underneath. These jeans are one of my favourite pair, although they are slightly too big because ASOS for some reason don't really like doing a 27 waist but I still love them.

Finally these boots were a bargain find at £20 but me being me I didn't realize they were wide fit, so they are a little bit big. Shortly after taking these pictures I wore these jeans again and I accidently put my foot through the rip and not the whole leg, ripping them even further (whoops).
