Berlin // 18

Two pretty cool things have happened last month.
1. I went to Berlin
2. I turned 18!
 If you check out my post from my 17th birthday, I spent the week in France doing work experience, this year I was on an A-level history trip. Nonetheless, these birthday vacations (if that's what you want to call them) should become an annual thing.

First up: Berlin.
We managed to squeeze so much seeing and learning into 3 days. The Jewish museum, Bundestag (Parliament), The Philharmonic Orchestra, Sachsenhausen (a WW2 concentration camp) and a 4 hour walking tour of Berlin, including a visit to the Berlin Wall. I'd definitely recommend visiting Berlin to all A-level historians, as well as anyone who is simply interested in the city and its history.

This my friends is the Berlin Wall

Next: My 18th birthday!
In short, I'm now 18.
I spent my actual birthday with my family, doing typical birthday things and then repeated it again on Monday night at dinner with my friends. Both restaurants (Wahaca & Cabana) were so beautifully decorated, I'd definitely recommend them if you're looking for some good Mexican or Brazilian food. Plus I got a (stuffed) kitten. I also received some pretty amazing presents, so expect a review or two in the upcoming weeks.

Nineteen Eighty-Four

Hey & Happy New Year, I guess it's better late than never. 2013 has drifted away and we've landed in a slightly futuristic sounding year, although at the start of every year I ( and many others I'm sure) go on about how strange {insert year here} sounds. So Happy 2014!

I think it may be just a bit too late (or early) to talk about Christmas, so I'll save that for December and get on with this post.

This is officially my final full term in Sixth Form, which is slightly hard to believe, even more so, the thought of starting university in September is also something I'm going to have to get used to. Until then, A-levels are my life!

Quite a few people have recommended various TV series (e.g Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad) for me to watch but I just couldn't bring myself to start them over Christmas. Instead, I started watching the Carrie Diaries and I love it! In short, it's about the life of Carrie Bradshaw Pre-Sex in the City and it pretty much reminds you that you are still a teenage girl. What's really cool about it, is that it really feels like the captured the 80's, from the styling to the camera effects! It's innocent and light-hearted, which the occasional drop of serious here and there. I would definitely recommend giving it a watch, though it is nothing like the series that people have suggested so far.

I'm also reading Looking for Alaska by John Green, so once I'm done with it I'll share my thoughts on it.

Have a lovely day wherever you are <3

A Midsummer Daydream

T-shirt - Monki    Skirt- Forever 21   Vans- Office   Sunglasses - Topshop
Excuse me while I check myself out

I'm not sure if anyone (in the UK) remembers, but a few weeks ago the sun actually came out and such an occasion calls for a roadside photoshoot. Making this my first outfit post of the year.
 We are half way through Summer and to me it feels like it hasn't even started, yes, right now the glass is half-empty. This is probably because my holiday/vacation (as you wish) is right at the end of summer, and I've spent the past 3 weeks just wishing time would hurry up.

Going back to my previous post, my first thing to do was "Find the perfect pair of sunglasses". I'm quite happy with this pair that I bought in Topshop a few weeks ago, circular frame as I predicted and colourless making them effortlessly versatile.

I realised my nail polish really stands in this photo. It's 'Passion fruit', Barry M Gelly Hi Shine. The colour is spot on for summertime and brightens up my sunless days.
