The Friday Five #3

New Year. New Kicks

What better way to start a brand new year than with a pair of box fresh trainers? Every time a pair of Stan Smiths past me I would look at them longingly but then remind myself not to be a sheep – then, then I joined the flock. I like to convince myself that I’m totally different because mine are ALL white and I haven’t seen anyone with those yet…

Making a Murderer

If you haven’t heard about this show yet, where on Earth have you been? It’s the real life case of Steven Avery and his conviction of murder, which was made without any DNA evidence and a single witness statement from his nephew with learning difficulties. He was falsely accused of sexual assault previously and spent 18 years behind bars before DNA proved him innocent. If you have access to Netflix (literally, befriend a neighbour if you have to) you need to watch this series and then let me know what you think!

The Carpet Coat

My ma bought me this huge thang from Zara for my birthday and it’s the softest thing ever. It’s massive and warm and when you wrap your arms around yourself it feels like you’re hugging a cloud. The only annoying thing is that it has no zips or buttons or belt so when it’s windy it’s like you’re in the Earth Song video.

The Coconut Latte from Starbucks

I don’t usually like posting negativity but you guys this drink sucks so hard! They need to rename it the CocoYUCK Latte. I tweeted about it and then the Daily Mail used my tweet (along with others) in a feature about how basically everyone hates it. Do not waste your money – you’ve been warned.

Being a tourist

Showing someone not from London around my city is one of my favourite things so I loved it when I got to take Sazzle (my work buddy) to Westminster for an event on Thursday. Her face when she saw Big Ben and the London Eye up close was just the best. It just reminds you not to take it for granted because London is pretty awesome.
