Hey Guys
Can't believe August is here already so that means it is time for another monthly favourites this time for July. I spent a majority of July away I went to London with my best friend for a couple of days we went to see Romeo and Juliet, also out of the blue we got to see the premier for Star Trek: Beyond in Leicester Square which was amazing to experience. I then went on holiday down to Somerset for a week with my family, then I went on a group trip to have a tour of Wembley Stadium.
PLAY:
I feel like this is obvious but the best thing I did in July was go and see the Branagh Theatre Company production of Romeo and Juliet which stars Lily James, Richard Madden, Derek Jacobi and Meera Syal. Unfortunately we did not get to see Richard Madden due to his injury but that did not take away the fact that it was an absolute acting master class and an amazing interpretation of Shakespeare. My and my friend Amy did a full review which you can check out here to see our thoughts in depth, but if you have tickets or can get hold of some before it closes on the 13th August then I would strongly recommend you go.
FILM:
I saw one film in the cinema and that was Now You See Me 2 which I really enjoyed, it's about these magicians and how they try to reveal wrong doings. The first one was really good and this sequel was just as good, I really enjoy the concept of these films and the fact that it involves proper magic tricks that people learn and train for not the fantasy Harry Potter like magic. Unfortunately it is no longer in cinema but if you haven't seen the first one and you like magic tricks and films that mess with your mind then check this out.
BOOKS:
I've read quite a few books this month, I am currently making my way through the Chronicles of Ixia books by Maria V Snyder which is a fantasy series about a poison tester. However, while I was on holiday I did read the debut novel from Carrie Hope Fletcher called On The Side which I absolutely loved it's a very heart breaking and heart warming book, it made me cry a good couple of times. It's about this lady called Evie Snow who has died and in order for her to pass through into her heaven she needs to reveal to the ones she loves her three biggest secrets that are weighing down her soul. This is a love story with a bit of magical realism thrown into it. I highly recommend you read it if you love emotional books.
FOOD:
While I was away on holiday I stayed in a little village called Mark which was outside Burnham on Sea and on the Sunday we went to a pub called The White Horse Inn and it was the best Sunday roast dinner I had ever had eating out, it was homemade, the roast potatoes were crispy, the chicken was falling to pieces and the gravy was lovely and the Yorkshire puddings were a decent size and cooked proper. The best part is they bought out a dish of veg and another of cauliflower cheese for everyone to share and as someone who doesn't like certain vegetables this was amazing. Me and my boyfriend also had lunch there in the week and I had a lovely prawn salad which came with a side of proper crusty bread. I would highly recommend if anyone is visiting or living in that area in Somerset as the food is gorgeous.
FASHION:
I have had this fashion favourite for a while but haven't mentioned it until now and that is converses. In September last year I invested in some Harleyquinn converses and I have not stopped wearing them since then, I literally live in them they are so comfortable and the only thing that's ruined is one of the converse symbols but that's it. I also bought a pair of white low top ones for this summer and I wore them all around London for four days straight and my feet barely ached they were so comfortable to wear and both pairs were totally worth the money I would highly recommend investing if you want some casual, comfortable shoes.
GAME:
This will come as no surprise as everyone in the world is playing this game and that is Pokémon Go. I waited a little bit before I bought into the hype and I now love it, as an original lover of Pokémon it is amazing to see the original 150 bought back as there have been so many new additions to the world it is hard to keep up. I haven't tried battling a gym and to be honest I'm enjoying just collecting them and evolving them and hatching eggs and seeing which ones I remember from when I used to watch it when I was younger. I like how it is encouraging people to get outside and walk about but I do not agree with some of the extremities people are too in order to catch these Pokémon.
Hope you enjoyed this monthly favourites, until next time
