Helena Glazer || Brooklyn Blonde

This month's blogger pick is the lovely Helena of Brooklyn Blonde.

First featured in my post Blogger Picks | May #2, I can't actually remember how I found out about her, I think it may have been either an image I saw on pinterest or maybe while I was browsing on BlogLovin.
Anyway I'm glad I found her, I love her style and much like Kayla Seah, Helena is another blogger who gives me what I like to call 'jean envy', and I have now discovered something called 'coat envy'. Yes my friends they are definitely real things.

I love all white looks and I love this one even more with the addition of the pink coat.
| Glamour |
| Island Blues |

In this third instalment of my favourite bloggers I'm bringing you California blogger Karla Deras of Karla's Closet.

What's on my Kindle

I had been planning on writing a single post on what some of my favourite e-books are but then I decided, why not make it a regular thing? So welcome to the first of many posts about books I've read and am reading at the moment.

On my birthday last year my parents brought me a kindle because my mum refuses to buy me any more physical books. I didn't use it for the first couple months of but now I use it like mad, a 3 hour journey to and from work means that I have a lot of time for reading.
At the beginning of the year Goodreads, a site for readers and book recommendations created this 2015 Reading Challenge which I thought was a pretty good idea so I thought I'd join in and set myself a goal to read 50 new books this year, and so far I've managed to read 6.

Film | Most Rewatched - Part 3

Herbie Fully Loaded (2005)
I, Robot (2004)
Ice Princess (2005)

I was pretty obessesed with Lindsay Lohan when I was younger, which considering all the news about her over the last few years is sligthy concerning.

Ice Princess isn't a great film but I used to love (I still do!!) ice skating. Whenever the Winter Olympics are on I'm glued to the Figure Skating
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001)
Johnson Family Vacation (2004)
Kangaroo Jack (2003)

Jimmy Neutron was awesome, no other explanation is needed. Hey who am I kidding, I still think he's cool.
Last Holiday (2006)
Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)
Monsters, Inc. (2001)

New York Minute (2004)
Racing Stripes (2005)
S1m0ne (2002)

My sister and I were so obsessed with this film a few years back so we've seen this a ridculous amount of times. We loved it so much that we even forced our parents to watch it while we were on holiday.
I even think this was the film that started off my love of behind the scenes and one of the films that made me want to make films, because after seeing it so many times we kept finding little mistakes.
Sahara (2005)
Schindler's List (1993)
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)

Sky High (2005)
Son of the Mask (2005)
