BBC’s The Musketeers Season One Review

the musketeers

The Musketeers Season One concluded on Mother’s Day here in the UK but doesn’t premiere on BBC America until June 22nd. I went home for the weekend over mother’s day and ended up watching all ten episodes during that time because my parents loved them so much and wanted me to watch the finale with them on the sunday night.

Day Trip to the Zoo and OOTD!

Last monday, Ashley and I took a trip to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo. It was such a beautiful day (if a little bit windy) and such a lovely experience. Although we were one of the few couples there who weren’t dragging small children along with them, I’d definitely recommend it for an amazing day out for all ages. I just thought I’d show you some pictures from our day, including a little OOTD.

You also might have spotted my “Zootime” necklace. This is a make your own words necklace I bought from Topshop a while back. When I saw it I absolutely had to have it and although it usually says Ohana, I thought this would be a welcome change for the day.

Divergent (The Movie) Review

I took a trip to the cinema (for the first time in absolutely ages) to watch Divergent. I didn’t really know what to expect, all I’d heard was that the books were really good–akin to the Hunger Games, a triology I absolutely adore. SPOLIERS AHEAD.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE FILM…
