Yesterday I wrote a post about my January Beauty Favourites, so I thought I would share what random items I've been loving throughout January too.
Clothing.
Tartan scarf - This autumn/winter I've been a massive fan of everything tartan. As soon as I saw this scarf whilst doing some Christmas shopping in Primark I knew I had to have it, plus it was less than £10 - I can't quite remember the price.
I loved the fact that the main colour was navy, I wear a lot of dark colours, mostly black! And with the mixture of the reds, yellows, oranges and greens I knew this would be perfect for adding a pop of colour to my outfits.
Since I bought it I've worn it nearly everyday, so next time you take a trip to Primark keep your eyes out for this.
Dressing gown - It was getting to the time where I really needed new dressing gown, I was wearing my boyfriend's one more than mine, which he didn't appreciate ha! My parents got me this super fluffy gown (as Agnes from Despicable Me says "It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!) for Christmas from Peacocks so I'm not sure of the price but I'm going to guess between £15-£20.
Seeing as I was ill for the majority of January, I haven't really taken this off except to wash it a few times. It's perfect for this cold weather when all I want to do is snuggle on the sofa or in bed with a cup of tea in front of the telly.
Books & Stationary.
Lena Dunham's Not That Kind Of Girl - A young woman tells you what she's learned and as I am a bit of a book worm I wanted to give it a go as what I'd heard about it it sounded like something I would like. Now I haven't seen any episodes of Lena's Girls but once I've finished this book I'll be binge Watching them all!
On Christmas Eve Tom (my boyfriend) and myself made the crazy decision to nip to Tesco - big mistake! However I noticed that Tesco had cut the price massively, it was only £6 compared to it's original price of £16,99!
Very kindly Tom said he would get it me for Christmas, so in between the madness of Christmas and me being ill I've managed to read a little bit and so far so good. Lena tells hilarious little stories of her life from growing up to life in college and beyond, at 24 I feel like I can relate to a lot of what she writes about. So if you happen to see this reduced whilst you're out and about then I recommend you picking one up. I might even do a full review once I've finished it.
Whilst on our little trip to Tesco I happened to browse the stationary section and picked up this Pret A Porter A5 Note Pad for £2.55. I have a rather big love for stationary, you could call it a slight obsession, but I was in need of a new notepad for blogging anyways!
I love the design of the gold and black chevron pattern and for the price, it was mine! I also love that the edge of the pages are black too.
TV & Youtube.
Broadchurch - Everyone and their dog is watching and talking about this programme in the UK, if you're not then go watch it now!
After the first series everyone was hooked on this programme as the twists and turns kept you coming back for more week on week and to the delight of millions the last episode ended with "Broadchurch will return".

Broadchurch made it's return at the beginning of January and oh boy it was worth it as within the first 15 minutes it delivered us with a shock no one was expecting. Luther - I managed to catch the second to last episode of Luther in 2013 and I remember thinking "Oh wow, what is this?!" Why I hadn't seen Luther before, I have no idea as from the opening scenes of this episode I was hooked. When I got Netflix I saw that they had all 3 series of the show on there which was my opportunity to binge watch yet another TV programme... I don't really need an excuse!

New Girl - Last weekend Tom was away in Liverpool, so I took this opportunity to hibernate in front of the TV and indulge in Netflix as I knew I wouldn't be disturbed.

I clicked to watch one or two of Lily's vlogs one night with the intention of doing something else afterwards, roll on 3am and I'd nearly watched all of her Vlogmas episodes.
Even though her lifestyles consists of going to blogging events, shopping at places I can't afford and eating out a lot I still found her Vlogmas really entertaining. I like her talks to the camera and how she likes to experiment with how she edits her videos whilst at the same time coming across as a genuine, lovely woman.
Now to get my fix of Lily I find my self waiting for her to upload her weekly vlog every Tuesday and to be honest I could easily watch her if she decided to upload vlogs daily.
So if you're looking to subscribe to someone new and for some reason you aren't already subscribed to Lily then check her out, I've linked her channel above. Also she has a great blog which you can find here.
I want to know what your random favourites have been this January, so leave a comment below :)
Thanks for reading.
Suzanne.
