Single Review / Wild Fire – Laura Marling

There are many things that have already characterised 2017 as another particularly awful year, but the return of Laura Marling is certainly not one of them. While the beginning of this year may have brought with it a new, strongly-opposed US President and several debates regarding feminism and women's rights, Marling has delivered some much-needed sunshine in… Continue reading Single Review / Wild Fire – Laura Marling

Year Abroad / Exam season stress

It has been four years since I last sat a January exam, so of course, the last few weeks have been a bit of a shock to the system. I've become accustomed to forgetting everything in my first semester modules and revising like mad in April and May, so revising over Christmas was a very… Continue reading Year Abroad / Exam season stress

Playlist / Throwback to 2007

In a year that saw the UK drenched all summer due to the sheer force of Rihanna's 'Umbrella' reigning the charts and the High School Music 2 Soundtrack outselling every other release, 2007 was a very mixed (yet still pretty fantastic) year for music. It's hard to believe that some of our most loved albums… Continue reading Playlist / Throwback to 2007

Year Abroad / Guess who’s back?

Hola todos! As you may have guessed from the title, I'm now officially back in Spain. I didn't blog over the Christmas period, not for lack of want but simply because I had no time at all.

Year Abroad / Boyfriend in Barcelona

If you hadn't guessed from the very straightforward title, I spent a few days in Barcelona with my boyfriend last week.

With yet another Spanish holiday came the perfect opportunity for a holiday of… Continue reading Year Abroad / Boyfriend in Barcelona

Year Abroad / North and South

Hola cariños! The last couple of weekends have been busy for me here in España. It's been a few months since I saw most of my course friends; I haven't seen some of them since May! We've all been out here or in various other countries since September so it was definitely time for a… Continue reading Year Abroad / North and South

Single Review / One Day I’ll Fly Away – VAULTS

Another year, another John Christmas advert. When the festive period hits, the British public waits in anticipation to see just what the department store will do next. In the past, we’ve been treated to animals waking up from hibernation in time for Christmas, a lonely man on the moon, even a long lost snowman couple,… Continue reading Single Review / One Day I’ll Fly Away – VAULTS
