Today has been a new music day...

Firstly, I recommenced my love affair with Regina Spektor: New album and tickets to see her at the beginning of July! Excited! I adore the album in its entireity but my favourite two have to be....


'Don't leave me'...
Particularly loving the french :) 




My other favourite, the lyrics are utterly heartbreaking yet all so relateable to... 


'How'...


"How can I forget your love
How can I never see you again

There's a time and place
For one more sweet embrace"



My new new discovery of the day is LA band Dawes. Moon in the water is probably the most BEAUTIFUL song I have ever heard.


"Cause even if love is more my mistress 
than my lovers ever are
you will always be the moon in the water"

Alles fuer Heute :) Bis bald...

Love K xx

ps. I will learn to embed videos and songs properly soon. I'm still a beginner! 

Jubilee weekend!

So I'm a little bit late. But the days are running away with me at the moment!

I have to admit I am a bit of a royalist. So an excuse to celebrate them openly whilst peeking at them constantly on the TV was the perfect weekend for me.

I also went back to my parents for the Saturday, Sunday and Monday.. to collect presents (yey!), see everyone and eat free food... once a student always a student...

The weather of course ruined EVERYTHING. But despite that I had a successful Saturday shopping for a graduation ball dress and a successful Sunday afternoon curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea and the pageant on the TV. Monday was meant to be a casual meal out in the village but three pubs later both myself and my parents were a little bit worse for wear...

Tuesday I celebrated student style with a night out which was (so far as hazy memory tells me) perfectly fantastic. I have only just got over the hangover almost two days later so lets call it a success...



Saturday involved ALL of the shopping... Cheeky new gradball dress in there...

Sunday.... Lazy day. "Rain Rain Go Away"



Monday...
'Pub crawl' around the village..
Sneaky picture of my parents, they'd kill me if they knew :)

Bunting EVERYWHERE



<3


Final Port of call... closest to home :) 



Even black and white can't hide how drunk I was on Tuesday...



This is how the evening started though... Respectable-ish! 


I blame these... and many more like it!


All in all Jubilee was a success! Long live the Queen :)

Boyfriend birthday this weekend... I was as last minute as ever with his presents, still have to pick up one on the way over tomorrow. Bad girlfriend. 

And Matilda the Musical on Wednesday! Could not be more excited if I tried! I'll keep you updated....

Birthday!

Soooooo, It has been a whole week since my birthday, I just had to check my calender because I can't quite believe it, and I have only just began to feel normal again!

After birthday and exam day, which was perfectly lovely (other than the stinky exam), I had very little sleep and then popped up the M1 to an assessment centre, after which I was greeted by my father taking me even further up the M1 to the homeland. I spent the long weekend at home to return to uni on Tuesday. And somehow it is Thursday already. I'm not sure where the week went to be honest, what with Birthday celebrations and interviews and Queenie's celebrations all I know is that there was plenty of food and presents and alcohol involved too. Hence why I've only just began to feel human again.

So I took so many photos of the weekend that I'm just going to start with my actual birthday...

A day that starts like this can only be good....


Homemade bows! 


Its a good job my friends understand my Winnie obsession


But then I had to contend with these three beauts for the rest of the day :(


Flatmate birthday breakfast and more presents! 


And then even more! 

For my impending move to London. My flatmates think they're funny :) 

And even funnier... a joke that just runs and runs and runs... :)

Then the boyfriend arrived :) 


FAJITAS! 


It's as if they read my mind....

Individual cakes! :)


Decorated with my very own white Yorkshire rose 


<3



Birthday drinks whilst wearing new maxi dress and new BEAUTIFUL pandora necklace from the boyfriend! 

My Birthday haul by the end of the day...


Luckiest girl in the world :)
