Hey loves! Today I'm sharing with you all some of my November favourites. In this blog post I'm going to be discussing my favourite fashion pieces, beauty items, music and more!

Let's start with fashion, because I love clothes. I have been really loving off the shoulder tops lately, especially because we are heading into summer. I think off the shoulder tops are super cute and this is my favourite one at the moment and I got it from Melrose Avenue. I'm also loving high waisted denim shorts! They are a staple piece in summer wardrobe, the ones I'm wearing in the picture below are my current favourite! I love this one because it's so comfy, looks super cute and are the perfect length! I always struggle finding shorts that fit me right because I'm more on the tall side - but these ones fit perfectly! I got them from Supre.

I also love wearing denim skirts!! This is my favourite one which is from Supre. I love pairing this with basic tees (which I usually tie up at the front). The top I'm wearing in the picture below is from Sportsgirl. Both of these items are still available, so I will link them here and here.

This kimono is my absolutely favourite thing at the moment. I never used to be a huge fan of kimonos but this one was just so cute!! It gives me festival vibes and I really want to do a lookbook on how I style this kimono because it's so pretty! I got this from Supre as well. BTW, no this post was not sponsored, most of my favourites just happened to be from Supre because they have the cutest clothing pieces! The link to the kimono will be here.

Moving onto beauty!! Since it's Spring, I've been wearing a lot of BB cream rather than foundation. I find that wearing BB cream during the hotter months is less 'draining' than foundation. I don't know if that's just me but yeah haha. It moisturises my face and works as a sunscreen as well which is great! It covers up any redness on my face and is buildable to a better coverage (just like a foundation). The BB cream I've been using is from Mac and I freaking love it!!

My favourite make-up brand at the moment has to be Tarte! I've been loving their lipsticks lately - not only are they easy to apply but the shades are so beautiful! My favourite has to be the shade 'bounce.' I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that I wear this lipstick everyday, because I definitely do.

That's it for beauty! Now, onto music!! Prepare for this long list of music that I'm about to hit ya'll with! Let's start off with the one and only Taylor Swift.

Taylor released her sixth album Reputation on November 10th, and anyone who knows me knows that I'm a die hard swiftie. So I had to mention her album in this favourites video! I honestly couldn't tell you a favourite song, because I'm in love with every single one of them. She's actually a lyrical genius and all her references are pure magic. Anyone who says her new album is 'trash' aren't listening to the lyrics properly because there's so much emotion and depth in every single one of them. If ya'll haven't heard her new album yet, stop reading this post and go listen to it right now! You can thank me later.

Next music fav is Billie Eilish. Her music is amazing. Her lyrics and her voice - oh my god. Amazing. Just amazing. The first song I heard from her was Ocean Eyes and I fell in love! I think she's around 15 years-old and it's crazy how much talent she has at such a young age. She kind of reminds me of Zara Larsson when she was about 16. My favourite song from Billie has to be Six Feet Under, but I honestly love every one of her songs because the lyrics really speak to me. If you're into really emotional indie music, go listen to her!

I have also been loving an Aussie band named Chase Atlantic. I used to be OBSESSED with them growing up. I remember following Mitchel Cave and Christian Anthony since 2012 when they auditioned on X-Factor when they were a part of a band called What About Tonight (who sadly split up a few months after X-Factor). But Mitchel and Christian, along with Mitchel's brother Clinton, formed their own band which was named Chase Atlantic. Anyways, I loved their music for years and eventually I stopped listening to them (I'm not sure why exactly). But then this year, they released an album and now I can't stop listening to them again!! My favourite songs have got to be Into You and Keep It Up. Oh, and No Friends. I really can't decide... they're all so good! And not gonna lie, being an OG fan since I was 14, makes me feel pretty cool & to make it even cooler, Mitchel and Christian follow me on Twitter! My inner fangirl still freaks out.

Can we take a minute to appreciate Camila Cabello though?! She has been killing it lately! I know she's still getting hate about leaving Fifth Harmony, and personally I think the way she exited the group could've been better but that's the past and nothing can change that now. But her song Havana has been on repeat this whole month. It's always stuck in my head and I always find myself listening to it at work because it always plays on the radio! It's so catchy & I'm obsessed!

This next song that i've been loving is by Khalid. It's called Young, Dumb & Broke. I'm sure you've all heard of this one because it's always on the radio. My friend Jaymee actually introduced me to this song and I love it! This is another song that I always find myself singing at work. And TBH, I can totally relate to it because I'm young, dumb and broke hahaha, just change high school kid to university kid and it's literally me.

This section of my favourites is what I like to call 'random', because I have no idea what else to call it! I'm just going to be talking about a few of my favourite YouTubers, books, TV shows and more!

Imma start with YouTubers because YouTube is my life. Hence why I'm a YouTuber LOL. Anyways, I'm going to be talking about my top 3 favourite YouTubers at the moment.

Coralie is a small Australian YouTuber I found a couple of weeks ago. She makes videos about fashion, travel, lifestyle and vlogs.

These are the kind of videos I like to watch, so I obviously had to subscribe. I love her personality as well, she seem so down to

earth and I only hope to collaborate with her one day! I also love supporting other small YouTubers, so to actually say that one of

my favourite YouTubers is a 'small' one, feels great.

Bella Fiori is another Australian YouTuber. She makes beauty and lifestyle videos as well as vlogs and mystery videos. I've been

binge watching her mystery videos lately because I love listening to all the theories and the backstories about unexplained

disappearances and unsolved murders. She's one of the few YouTubers that make it very interesting and actually explains things

properly, which I absolutely love! Aside from her mystery videos, I love her make-up videos as well! Especially her first

first impressions and testing videos!

I don't think this is a huge surprise if you've read my VidCon experience post or seen any of my YouTube videos, but I freaking

love Jenn! Her videos never fail to make me laugh because she's so funny and I literally feel like I'm watching a best friend or

something. As well as her comedy videos, I still love going back and watching more of her personal and more sentimental videos

such as her letter to her younger self (which was actually goals and you should totally go watch that).

BOOKS! Now, I'm not really a bookworm, but I've been starting to read a lot more lately. I just started re-reading the Harry Potter series because I was feeling nostalgic so that's become one of my favourites again. I'm currently reading Order of the Phoenix, so I thought would just mention that. I also just finished Jenn's book Really Professional Internet Person, and it was so good! I'm thinking of re-reading it because I loved it that much! It really inspired me with a lot of things and showed me her life that she's never shown on the internet. I loved reading about her experiences with fake friends, finding herself, dealing with hate, leaving school, moving to LA and much more! I feel more connected to her in a way that I never thought was possible.

I've only got two TV series favourites to talk about, and they are Freakish and Riverdale.

Let's start with Freakish, not gonna lie, but I only started watching Freakish because I knew that Niki from Niki & Gabi was going to be in season two. So I binge watched season one and I actually really liked the storyline of it. It gave me The 100 vibes (which is one of my favourite TV series). It's funny because Niki's character Sadie didn't even end up being my favourite since she was the reason I watched the show. My favourite character was Violet! Liza played her so well! If you're into TV shows like The Walking Dead and The 100, highly recommend checking this show out because it's so FREAKISHLY good! (See what I did there)

And now we talk about Riverdale. Who hasn't heard of this show? Like seriously. Legit everyone I know is obsessed with this series, and i don't blame them because it's so interesting. I love mysteries, so I Immediately fell in love with this show! It kind of gives me Pretty Little Liars vibes, does anyone else feel the same? Also, BUGHEAD IS LIFE.

That is it for my November Favourites post, I hope you enjoyed reading it! Sorry if this was a bit long for some people, when I start writing i can never seem to stop. I'll see you all in my next post.
