I think we all can laugh at how sarcastic the title is!
One of our favourite winter evening activities is going to a local pub to eat and catch up. We both got the chicken burger which was amazing - pub chips are for sure the best in the world. To top off this super healthy main we had the marshmallow brownie which was equally as heart attack inducing and delicious.
The evenings are getting longer and darker and with it the promise of Halloween and Christmas draws closer. This time of year will forever be our favourite. We love doing little activities like this that make the weekends count while still being quiet and enjoyable. The meal was also very inexpensive - under £20 for everything!
I hope you're all well. Just as a side note, what are your favourite Halloween films?

Hope you're all as excited for Halloween as we are, the film marathon season has begun with the Addams Family as we tend to start tame before moving up to more disturbing titles like 'The Silence of the Lambs.'
We've decided to switch up the formatting of our blog a bit and include a bit more lifestyle content. As the weather grows colder we've been addicted to our snoods that we got from Primark last winter, literally sleeping in them... Charlotte bought a vinyl player and so we have been discovering old favourites such as 'Dirty Diana' and unashamedly harmonizing to 'Man in the Mirror' sat on her bed. Now, of course I too want a vinyl player, it's nice to be able to listen to an album all the way through and appreciate it as a whole piece of work rather than constantly skipping songs and artists.
Charlotte set up a film club for the media students and so we decided to bake some cakes to entice in members. Our last baking attempt was undeniably disastrous as we discovered that salted caramel can actually be too salty, as in could cause severe dehydration and kill all the garden slugs. We were aiming for the caramel core found in our favourite ice cream - Ben and Jerry's Blondie Brownie. This batch of chocolate smarties cupcakes were surprisingly good.
We've also been discovering how convenient public transport can be and got the bus to TK Maxx, where we picked up journals to start scrapbooks in. The journals are a really cute way to preserve the memories of the last few years before we head off to Uni.
Finally, my new camera arrived and I have been experimenting with the different features, such as the motion photo which is very nice indeed, so expect more vlogs and fashion videos to appear on our YouTube channel. Get excited for Halloween people, it's fast approaching!

Ahh another all black ensemble. These PVC pants are such a polarising item, I love them but I know a lot of people hate them, on a night out one charming gentleman even called me a rather rude name for wearing them. I love them because they remind me of the suit from American Horror Story season 1, is that weird? I picked up the t-shirt when we went to go see them live (vlog on our Youtube if you missed it- link to the right), the design gives a really cool aesthetic. I think this outfit is a little bit goth, a little bit weird and a whole lotta good.
Let me know how you feel about PVC!
