Media Rave Sunday #1

I've decided to showcase my favourite finds in the media industry every week (: Without further ado: Music

Everything Has Changed (Music Video) - Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran

Truth be told, this song was never one of my favourites on her latest album... until now! I LOVE the music video. I find it incredibly adorable, matches the lyrics of the song and I think it even makes it more meaningful (: Watch it!

TV / The Big Screen

After most of the tv series that I've been watching (i.e Glee, How I Met Your Mother, The Carrie Diaries, Once Upon A Time) finished the season finale, I had to find another one! And my friends recommended Modern Family (: I'm still on the first season but I love it so far! I love how they incorporate many different family scenarios which makes it more interesting, relatable and hilarious! It's nothing dramatic but a good watch after a long day (: Plus, one episode is about 20mins which means I won't feel so guilty when I watch one instead of doing my homework :P If you don't watch this yet, give it a go (:

Star Trek Into the Darkness + OOTD

Double post today! Yayyy! Since today was the last day of my end of year exams, my friends and I thought we'd throw a mini celebration by going to the cinemas and watch... STAR TREK - INTO THE DARKNESS! Wheeee! It is the 12th installment in the Star Trek franchise and the sequel to Star Trek (2009)

Director: J.J Abrams

Notable actor/actress: Chris Pine; Zachary Quinto; Zoe Saldana; Benedict Cumberbatch; Alice Eve; Simon Pegg; Karl Urban

My verdict:

Without giving too much away, Star Trek - Into the Darkness is an action sci-fi film. To be honest, I'm not really into that kind of thing & just went along because my friends suggested it... but after watching the movie, I LOVE IT.  Although it is like most sci fi films with cool gadgets and shiz, the plot is amazing - lots of twists & unexpected events. I tried to guess what would happen next...but got it wrong everytime :( That just goes to show how intense and unpredictable (in a good way) this movie is! Whether you're a sci-fi fan or not, this movie is worth watching! Let's just say, future London = freaking awesome.

If this didn't entice you, go check out the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhz4A5BCMAA

OOTD / What I Wore

Top: Cotton On
Shorts: Unbranded
Nude tank top (underneath): Forever 21
Bag: Cotton On

Since I practically only had time to leave school after my last exam (which was Maths, ew.), come home & change, I opt for something simple and decided to play with neutrals! Hence the gold headband, tan/sandy coloured cropped tank & grey, tie-dye like shorts. The tank top was cotton mesh (...yea that's how I am going to describe it) which meant it was see through so I wore a nude tank to not make it obvious (: I love my grey tie-dye shorts because I have too many denim ones! Plus, they are frayed at the bottom! Got my bag as a Christmas present from mum a few years ago & it's still going strong (: It's big enough to fit almost everything but the down side is that you can't be too many heavy things in there and there are no compartments so it's hard to find what you want sometimes :/

(Please excuse the stains :/)

Shoes: Vincci

I was going to wear my gold glittery flats, but I was in a rush & couldn't find them so I thought the next best thing would be my favourite floral flats (: AND it sort of matched my bag too :D

Have you watched Star Trek - how did you like it? (:

Mrs Midas by Carol Ann Duffy - Stop Motion

For English, my friend and I made a stop motion video to accompany the poem 'Mrs Midas' written by Carol Ann Duffy. It took her hours of drawing & filming! Tell me what you think in the comments below!

Background song: Radioactive - Imagine Dragons
