Goodbye 2012...

I honestly cannot believe we are about to start 2013, it sounds very futuristic to me... 2012 has been an amazing year with so many amazing things happening during it and I've loved it. This little blog is about to turn 1 and I am overwhelmed by how lovely the blogging community is- thank you to each and every reader, new or old for stopping by and reading my waffle!! What better way to reflect on my year than to see some of my favourite outfits I wore and snapped to show you all:

I'm ending 2012 feeling incredibly grateful for everything and everyone I have in my life (corny but oh so true) and hoping 2013 will be kind to me...It is certainly going to be a big one- I'll be turning 21, graduating from uni, hopefully starting a job and moving on into the big wide world whilst also keeping up this little corner of the internet !!!

I hope 2013 brings you all lots of love and happiness and I'll sign off now with this very wise quote on my bookmark I was given for Christmas:

"Take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you can go"

What I listened to in 2012....

I can't believe this year is nearly over- it went far too fast for my liking! BUT it has been a darn good year for music and I thought I'd share with you my highlights of what I've listened to this year- it is a pretty eclectic (or just a random) mix!

Lucy Rose

You might recognize this babe from the backing of a few Bombay Bicycle Club tracks like 'Shuffle' and 'Lights Out, Words Gone'. She has such a nice voice, her album 'Like I used to' is really good- nice background music. This song 'Bikes' sees Lucy as a hardcore biker- amazingly she pulls it off!

Jessie Ware

Another super cool chick, I first heard Jessie by chance on Spotify with '110%' and loved it. This is another belter of hers- 'Wildest Moments' If I had to sum her up I'd say she is a mix between Ellie Goulding and Lana Del Rey...I think :s

Dead Man's Bones

Despite their slightly odd band name it was a very happy day indeed when I found out earlier in the year that Ryan Gosling (yes THE Ryan Gosling the dashingly handsome man of 'The Notebook' and 'Crazy, Stupid Love') was in a band!! Ok so their last album was in 2009 and its slightly Halloween-esque type music but still its good music.

The Vaccines

These guys were definitely my favourite band of 2011 and with their second album released earlier in the year they definitely did not disappoint! Think I'll always like them and have a special place for them in any playlist.

Ben Howard

This man is a god! There isn't a mood that his songs can't suit and he is such a talented cutie too (oh no I'm sounding like a stalker fan!). Would love to see him live in 2013!

Also a band I predict BIG things for next year are the super cool sister group 'Haim' so far they have only released an EP but I've definitely liked what I've heard.

What do you think of my music highlights? I'd love to know what yours have been :)
