Showery Monday's - OOTD

Outfit of the Day

Today was sunny one minute and pouring rain the next, but one thing the weather could decide on was being freezing cold! So my outfit of choice needed to suit all three of these things. 

So here it is. I originally put this on during a lazy day and I didn't really care about what I looked like, but then I realised how cute it looked! So I decided to wear it again today. 

The jumper is from H&M and was donated to me by my mum because I kept stealing it from her wardrobe... It's so cosy and I'm loving the tobacco colour of it.

The leggings are from Urban Outfitters. I don't wear these very often for some reason, but I think this outfit might become my go-to, so hopefully I get a bit more wear out of them! 

And finally, my trusty (and slightly muddy, thanks to living on a wet farm) converse in black. I got these from Schuh. 

This outfit is so comfy and warm, but I felt so cute in it. I feel like it has a sort of street style vibe to it too! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you had a very cosy day too!

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell // BOOK REVIEW

So Rainbow Rowell is one of my favourite authors and Fangirl was just as amazing as I expected it to be! This book is about a girl called Cath, who is in her first year of university. And her love of the book series Simon Snow, makes it a little hard for her to fit in, as she prefers to write fanfiction than do the stereotypical university life.

First off, Fangirl made me laugh out loud and I was smiling whilst reading nearly every page. My particular favourite moments were the references to Gilmore Girls and Beverly Hills 90210, which are two of my all time favourite TV shows, so those parts really made me giggle! 

I liked how this book deals with more than just your average YA love triangle. I mean there's a tiny bit of that, but amongst mental illness, alcohol abuse, family separation and trying to fit in. Or in the case of Cath, not fitting in at all. I could really relate to Cath, who in her first year of university, prefers to spend her free time in her room, writing fanfiction. And whilst I don't write fanfiction, I do spend my free time doing equally nerdy things by myself. Plus we're both doing creative writing courses, so y'know we're pretty much the same person. 

But, as much as liked Cath, it was Levi who stole the show for me! He was ADORABLE. From the second he was introduced I was in love. He's so happy and it's contagious - when he was smiling, I was smiling. Ugh. In love <3

My only issue with Fangirl was that I wanted less of the fanfiction about Simon Snow that Cath was writing. For example, the book ended with a piece of fanfiction she'd written, and whilst I can see why, I wanted it to end with the characters from Fangirl! But I think this down to is personal taste, as I've heard other people say they really liked the fanfiction parts of the book, so don't let this put you off! 

Overall, I adored this book! I give it 5 stars. You need to read it right now!

Since we're on the subject of books, I thought I'd just let you know that I have a goodreads account, which I am constantly updating with all things bookish. I also have a youtube account, where I talk about books fairly often (amongst other things, like beauty and the weird things that happen to me). I actually did a review of Fangirl over on there too. Links to both of these are just below, so why not pop over and have a little look. 

I hope you're having an excellent day!
