My Favourite Disney and Pixar Films

I'm a pretty huge Disney fan, I have countless DVDs, books, snowglobes, mugs, stuffed toys, dolls... You name it, I've probably got it. So I thought I'd share some of my favourite Disney and Pixar films. It was hard to choose but I managed to narrow it down!

• Alice In Wonderland
• Basil The Great Mouse Detective
• Beauty and the Beast
• The Emperor's New Groove
• Finding Nemo
• Monsters Inc
• Tangled
• Toy Story

A Holiday Haul

When I was on holiday in St. Andrews, I definitely took advantage of having H&M and Paperchase so close to my aunt's house - I think I went in every day! Sadly H&M didn't have a home department but I did pick up a few things. I thought the cactus print make-up bag would be great to use as a pencil case for university and it was a complete steal at only £2. I also picked up a novelty cactus rubber (£2), purely because I thought it would look cute on my desk! My mum then spotted a mini lint roller (£1) which is perfect for popping in my bag to get rid of any dog hairs.

When I was in Paperchase I spotted a 4-pack of lunch tubs, all with different unicorn themed prints. The ones I use for university were getting a bit old and battered so I picked these up for just £8 - a bargain considering Cath Kidston charge the same price for two! Of course, I couldn't go to Paperchase and not buy any postcards - I picked up 4 different ones at 60p each. I also picked up a new pen (reduced to 75p) for university and a new milkshake keyring (£2.75).

After I was home from my holiday, I popped into Wilko with my mum and spotted a pack of Hello Kitty highlighters (£2.25). I already have far too many but I couldn't leave them behind, especially when my mum offered to buy them for me! We also went to Primark for a browse and discovered that they'd recently got in some stationary so I bought this wooden Mickey Mouse & Friends ruler (£1.50) - I'm already wishing I picked up a nice pencil case as well!

Ways To Wear: The Tan Suede Skirt

Suede skirts have taken the fashion world by storm recently, everywhere you look there are people being inspired by the 70's trend - even Alexa Chung and Olivia Palermo have picked one up! And let's be honest, if they're wearing it, it must be on trend. 

I'd been looking for a tan suede skirt for quite a while and I finally picked up in Primark for only £10, a complete bargain! So today I thought I'd show you all a couple of ways to wear it.

LOOK ONE

Look one is how I'm wearing my suede skirt right now for the Summer months. The tan colour goes perfectly with a light blue denim skirt and I think the whole outfit looks really cute with a pair of loafers!

LOOK TWO

Look two is definitely more of an Autumn styling for me. I can't wait until I can wear mine with my chelsea boots and cute black roll neck or a thick, breton top to keep me warm in the cooler weather! It's the perfect look for those cold, crisp, Autumn days - and very comfortable for travelling to university every day.

Have you joined in on the trend? How are you wearing your suede skirt?

Inspirational People: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

1991 - Full House, 2000 - promoting their new line of dolls, 2002 - Vanity Fair party, 2004 - Hollywood Walk of Fame Induction

I've been fans of MKA for as long as I can remember, from watching Two of Kind and all their childhood films, to following their style throughout their later years, I've been here for all of it.  

They've worked their whole lives since they were 9 months old on Full House, and haven't stopped since. They had multiple TV shows together, as well as 12 films together - featuring favourites such as Passport To Paris and Winning London. Their last film together was New York Minute in 2004, the year they were also honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

2006 - Cannes Film Festival, 2008 - Chanel at PFW, 2008 - Influence book launch, 2011 - CFDA Awards

After moving on from film and TV, they quickly moved into the fashion industry - with Mary-Kate creating her own spin on the boho-chic look, which was named the 'homeless' look. They created a teen fashion line for Walmart - which I also remember being available in an Asda near my nan's house and I think I owned quite a few pieces from it! Since then they've released their own couture fashion label, The Row. They've also produced multiple lines for Elizabeth & James and had a collection for J.C. Penney. During this time they released a book, Influence, which featured interviews with prominent figures in the fashion industry. They became regulars at star studded events such as Cannes Film Festival and the Met Ball, and also sat in the front row of prestigious fashion shows like Chanel at PFW.

2013 - Bik Bok collection launch in Norway, 2014 - Elizabeth & James event, 2015 - Met Ball, 2015 - CFDA Awards

Most recently, MKA have released yet another fashion line in Norway and in 2015 they received the award for Womenswear Designer of the Year from the CFDA for The Row.

The reason MKA are so inspiring to me is that they've achieved all of this by the age of 29 - only 9 and a half years older than myself - and they're showing no sign of wanting to slow down. They're so dedicated to everything they do, and they even make time for charities and human rights work.

If I can have even a little bit of their success by the time I'm 29, I'll have done something right.
