Quarter Year Review: February

♥My friend Kerri came up to visit me at uni for a week and camped out on my floor. She got the joys of Sunderland's Disney store and Newcastle's Lush, Hotel Chocolat and Paperchase

♥The whole reason for her coming (as well as hanging out up here) was to see The Saturdays in Newcastle. Brilliant show and my style crush on Molly and Vanessa continues.

♥We also met the support act TwentyTwenty and I interviewed them for Spark. Pretty weird as last week I saw their music video on one of the music channels and promptly screamed "MUM I INTERVIEWED THEM THE OTHER MONTH"

♥Speaking of interviewing bands I also attended the launch party of local band Athletes In Paris' new single Borrow Time. I first met/interviewed/went to their gig back in September 2009 when I was an ickle fresher. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the lead singer remembered me. I interviewed them for Spark as well before listening to their single live (having previously only heard snippets from their facebook page) and promptly loved it.

♥I progressed onto season 2 of the O.C. which is probably my favourite season for Seth/Summer moments (not including the season one coffee cart declaration of love that started it all) such as the Spiderman kiss in the rain pictured

♥Finally, I added to my 50-squillion cushion collection on my bed. Okay so I don't have quite that many but I have a lot of cushions for one girl. In my defence I prefer cushions to pillows and have some on my desk chair as the chair is quite old and hurts my back otherwise. She says sounding like an old lady rather than a twenty year old. Whoops!

And that was February.

H is for Happy; week three

♥Taylor Swift. My tickets for her Speak Now tour date in London came today. Props to my mum for knowing this would be worth texting me about and brightening up my day.

♥CANDY! Sweet Home Alabama is an amazing sweet shop just down the road from my uni flat and does my favourite sweets for a decent price. I introduced a friend to the shop this week and they love it as much as I do.

♥The Saturdays. I saw these lovely ladies in Newcastle on Monday and it was excellent. I wasn't sure what they would be like live but they are good. I love this picture the most from all the ones I took on the night. Mollie (my favourite) just looks ready to party and this was my favourite costume set they had.

♥Hanging out and being goofy (on the odd occasion) with a friend/friends. My friend Kerri from back home came to visit me this week. She arrived on Monday (she came with me to see the Saturdays) and left this evening (Friday) and slept on my floor in my comfier-than-my-bed sleeping bag. I loved having her visit and enjoyed taking her to Lush, Paperchase, the Disney Store and Sweet Home Alabama - none of which we have back home.

♥Converse. I treated myself to these last week (thank you bursary) and have almost been living in them since then. I think there's been the odd occasion where I've just popped across the road to Wilko in ballet pumps but my love affair with Converse has been reignited this week.

And that is five things that has been making my life lovely this week.
