May has seemed to go on forever for me. I'm half way through my exams now and, oh my, it has been tiring. The days have all just seemed to merge into one and I cannot wait until I am all finished and ready to enjoy summer. Anyway, here is what I've been loving this month. It may not be the most interesting favourites post this month, but I have been so busy and I haven't really tried anything new.



I love a good playlist and this is a good playlist. She's Got A Boyfriend Anyway is a playlist that I found on 8tracks and it is filled to the brim with acoustic wonderfulness. It's so relaxing and perfect for studying too or just lying flat on your back and pondering the universe. Love it.

I know, I know. I think this has featured in 3 of my favourites posts now but I really do love it. Words cannot describe my love for the White Company Pillow Spray (£15). It is just amazing. It smells beautiful and helps me sleep like nothing else can. It's exactly what you need after a long day when all you want to do is curl up in bed and have lovely dreams. The bottles very nearly finished and I will definitely be repurchasing!

Bit of an odd one, but I am a stationary fanatic. These pens from Muji (£9.95) have been what has got me through my revision so far. They are just so beautiful! The colours are amazing and they are lovely to write with. I actually haven't minded doing my revision thanks to these bad boys because my notes just look so damn pretty.

My skin has been feeling very sorry for its self recently. A mixture of stress, comfort eating and humid weather. However, I think it is on the mend and I do put that partly down to the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub (£4.95). I love this stuff. It smells really fresh without being over perfumed and even through it is an exfoliator, it's still really gentle. It also doesn't dry my skin out at all or leave it feeling tight. I normally stay away from pink things, but this is great.

So there you have it. Hopefully next month will be a little more interesting.

I'm not particularly girly, so I'm really loving the sports chic trend. There's something so feminine about it while still being relaxed and different. I think it is so easy to pull off. I recently found out about Fanatics which I hadn't actually ever heard of seeing as I'm from the UK but I thought I would have a little go at creating a look using one of their hats. I really like the whole American baseball style and think it adds a little edge.

I chose the Boston Red Sox Knit Hat in White because I really like the pattern and I know that it is summer now, but I love the relaxed look of a bobble hat. I also think they are super cute and look great with a messy bedhead. I think that's what this look is all about. Looking chic with minimal effort. I really like these sorts of outfits and I think they are so easy to wear.

I think just by adding a bobble hat, cap or pair of trainers you can really create a nice twist on a classic style. Also, if like me you aren't that girly, it means you can still dress up while feeling comfortable. Fanatics do a great range of different hats in every style you could think of, so I really suggest having a little look on their website if you are trying to create the perfect sports chic look yourself.

What do you think of my take on sports chic?

It's been a long couple of weeks for me and I've got a few more to come. All the days seem to have just merged into one and I honestly think I am losing the will to live. I thought I would come up with a little motivational playlist to help me through my revision and the next few weeks instead of actually doing my revision. Procrastination at its finest hey? But if you too are lacking some motivation at the minute then I hope this is just what you needed to pick yourself back up.
