Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been waiting to write this post for months and the time has finally come and I'm so excited! I'm going to explain everything about the process of getting ready for my prom, as well as including lots of photos for you to see! I was also a member of the prom committee so I've been involved in the whole process so I'm super proud to show off the committee's hard work (in the photos)!<br />
<br />
I decided to get my hair and makeup done professionally as I believed that it was definitely worth the money as they were able to do a MUCH better job than anything that I would have been able to do! I wanted my hair to be down as I didn't feel that an updo would suit me as I always have my hair down, and I wanted to look as natural as possible. Similarly, while I wore a lot of makeup, I was still aiming for a natural look that simply enhanced my features (without making me look like I've been caked in makeup!). I had a trial for both the hair and the makeup which I would highly recommend as it allowed me to decide exactly what I liked (and what I didn't) and gave me a general idea of what the finished look would be like.<br />
<br />
For my dress, I didn't want to spend a huge amount of an outfit that I would more than likely only wear once. Because of this, I made sure I shopped around to find the nicest, yet most reasonably priced dress possible. In the end, I got my dress from 'T K Maxx' which, like ASOS, stocks a variety of different brands, but at discounted prices. My dress originally comes from a brand called 'XSCAPE', and while this particular dress isn't available anymore, they have plenty of other beautiful dresses to choose from so go check them out! The dress itself cost £59.99 which I thought was very reasonable considering the price of some of the dresses out there!<br />
<br />
My shoes came from ASOS but were originally from New Look. They matched my dress perfectly and I couldn't believe my luck when I first saw them! They only have a small heel on them as I'm quite tall anyway, but the dress definitely required a bit of height. They cost me £24.99 which was okay, but I was gutted to see that they went on sale for £13 a couple of weeks after I'd purchased them! They were super comfortable and were easy to dance in, so I would highly recommend them!<br />
<br />
The prom itself was absolutely amazing and everyone looked phenomenal! I enjoyed myself so much, the whole night was incredible, from start to finish - we didn't fall into bed until 5am Sunday morning! The school hall was completely transformed and everyone was super impressed which I was really happy about as people were quite skeptical about the location at first; we proved them wrong thank goodness!<br />
<br />
I've included plenty of photos below of the night and I hope you enjoy having a look at them, and you can feel even a small amount of the magic that was in the room! I really hope you've enjoyed this post - it's definitely been one of my favourite posts to write!<br />

<span style="color: #f60851;">"Charlie Bloom <b><i>never</i></b>
wanted to be 'with the band'. She's happiest out of the spotlight, behind her
camera, unseen and unnoticed. But when she's asked to take backstage photos for
hot new boy band, Fire&Lights, she can't pass up the chance. Catapulted into
a world of paparazzi and backstage bickering, Charlie soon becomes caught
between gorgeous but damaged frontman Gabriel West and his boy-next-door
bandmate, Olly Samson. Then, as the boys' rivalry threatens to tear the band
apart, Charlie stumbles upon a mindblowing secret, hidden in the lyrics of
their songs ..."</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f60851;"><span style="color: black;">If you've been reading my posts for a while now, I'm sure you'll be aware of my obsession with celebrity culture and my love for novels based around this crazy world that surrounds famous people. So, as you can imagine, 'Songs About a Girl' was right up my street! I have to admit, I was also intrigued by this book as the main character and I have very similar names - coincidence or what?!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f60851;"><span style="color: black;">My initial thoughts of the novel were very different to my final opinion and I was very happy that I persevered with the story. At first, I thought the plot had a 'too-good-to-be-true' feel to it, as it seemed highly unlikely that a very famous pop star would have been keeping tabs on a student two years younger than him from his old school. However, once I'd got my head around that part of the story, I began to engage with Charlie's experience a lot more and I generally enjoyed the book more!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f60851;"><span style="color: black;">In general, I felt that the novel was very well written and contained a well balanced mixture of humorous, funny scenes, as well as the more serious, hard-hitting stuff . This made the book more readable and believable and added an almost 'down to earth' quality to the plot. Sometimes, I felt that Gabriel's story became too 'heavy' but apart from that I thought that it was amazing to see a novel address such dark, yet realistic troubles that some teenagers experience.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f60851;"><span style="color: black;">I truly can't decide whether I'm team Olly or team Gabriel... there's definitely more to the story, so I'm hoping to see a sequel soon! This brings me onto the ending of the novel, and what an ending it was! I have so so so many questions that I cannot wait to find out the answers to, as the story ended on a major cliff hanger that will leave you absolutely desperate for information!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f60851;"><span style="color: black;">Overall, I would definitely recommend 'Songs About a Girl' to anyone who fancying an insight into what life on the road is really like, and how different dynamics between members can completely change a band, and the disastrous consequences this can have on the whole band. Also, there's plenty of romance within the novel between a certain band member and a school girl photographer (I won't say anymore as I don't want to ruin anything!).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #f60851;"><span style="color: black;">I hope you've enjoyed the review and make sure to grab a copy of 'Songs About a Girl' by Chris Russell (out on 28th July in the UK)!</span></span></div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Summer is here! Okay, well not weather-wise, but it is the official start of my summer holidays, which is super exciting. The exams were spread out over 5 weeks and it felt like they were lasting forever, but I knew how important they were so I put all my efforts into them! Also, I was always thinking about the fun things I was going to be doing once they were over, so that helped too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I've got so many exciting things and events coming up, my favourite one being prom! It feels like the prep for prom has been going on forever, especially because I'm a member of the prom committee so I've been attending weekly meetings for months. I bought my dress in around April and the shoes followed not long after, so I had finished the physical shopping before my exams started. Last week, I had a makeup trial which was amazing, and I'm looking forward to prom even more now! I'm definitely going to upload a blog post later on in the month, detailing everything about prom - look out for that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing that I've got coming up is HOLIDAY! At the end of July, I'm going to Jersey with my family, which is an island near the coast of France and the weather is always great which is a change from the drizzly, rainy English weather that we're experiencing at the moment! I'm also going on holiday in England with my friends at the end of August which I'm also super excited about - it will definitely take our minds off of results day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, in a couple of weeks time, I'm doing a week of work experience at a local primary school which will definitely be a unique experience - I'm hoping to gain a better idea of what a primary school teacher consists of and whether I would like to do that for a living! I also think that it will be a really nice opportunity!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you've enjoyed this ramble, I just thought I'd update you all on what's happening in my life at the moment :). Expect many more blogposts over the summer as I'll have all the time in the world to chat about my experiences so look out for those!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon,</span></div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so motivated to write this review that I hopped straight on the computer... and here I am - that's how good 'The Loose Ends List' was! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maddie O'Neill Levine is caught up a the maddest, most ludicrous adventure that her beloved grandmother, Astrid, has ever come up with: a secret 'death with dignity' trip, in which the dying take their families on a cruise around the world, until the time comes that the patients feel they are ready to die and are put to sleep and laid to rest at sea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first, I thought this novel was a little to crazy for me and I didn't know if I'd be able to finish it because, in general, I don't enjoy stories when the main focus is death. However, I'm so glad that I continued reading as the book was magical, enchanting, and just all round amazing. It made me think about a lot of things, especially the fact that many people can't choose how they die, and it really had a lasting impact on me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Maddie is seen as the main character in the novel, I feel like there are so many other great characters that latch onto your heart and never let go! One of my personal favourites was Rachel, Maddie's childhood best friend, who Maddie still confides in regularly, despite the girls growing apart. She was so down to earth and completely understood and supported Maddie, even though she had not experienced anything like what Maddie was going through.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bond of family in the novel was super cute - I loved how the whole family joined together to celebrate their relative's life, and completely put their lives on hold, just so they could be with Astrid. They seemed very accepting of each other and anyone they came across, regardless of their 'judging' nature (which provided a lot of laughs in the story!). Maddie's family had so many minor plot lines intertwined with the main story which made the book even more enjoyable as it was almost like reading several books at once!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, Maddie and Enzo's relationship was almost law-defying - she had embarked on a trip to honour her grandmother and spend time with her family, yet Maddie manages to jump into a relationship with the boat owner's son! Their story was portrayed in a wonderful way and I loved the dynamic that their relationship added to the novel. I don't want to include any spoilers so I won't say anymore!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, this is honestly one of the best books I've read in a long, long time so I would highly recommend you nab a copy when it comes out in a couple of days time! I hope you've enjoyed the review - if you read 'The Loose Ends List', leave a comment below or tweet me, letting me know what you think. I'd love to hear your thoughts!</div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Super excited to write this post because it was such a random, last minute thing that turned into a really enjoyable, fun day! It all started when I was checking the 'Loose Women' website to see which celebrities were appearing in the next couple of weeks as I watch the show quite regularly. I then saw that Tom and Giovanna Fletcher were making a joint appearance on 1st June which was only a couple of days away! Quickly, I applied for tickets to be in the audience on that day and I was lucky enough to nab two tickets!<br />
<br />
My friend and I arrived in plenty of time to ensure that we got seats as they oversubscribe the tickets to ensure that the audience is full, even if some people don't turn up. However when we reached the entrance, we were told that the audience had been filled up by those with priority tickets - so upsetting! So, we stopped off at a nearby cafe and chatted somewhat dishearteningly. We then decided that we would wait at the back exit of the building to see if we could catch a glimpse of Tom and Gi when they left.<br />
<br />
We waited for around half an hour, despite the miserable weather (we had to buy an emergency umbrella!) and it was nice to see that others had come to show their support as well, including the paparazzi! All of a sudden, Tom and Giovanna came out of the studios and began posing for pap photos. They were so kind and sociable and they were happy to interact with everyone that was waiting to meet them! We spoke to Tom about the McFly tour and he apologised for the delay (it's been postponed as the drummer, Harry Judd, has injured his neck), which we thought was really nice of him! The pair then hopped in their waiting car and drove off, leaving my friend and I in a very excited and happy mood :)<br />
<br />
Afterwards, we decided to wait for a while longer to see if we could see anyone else as we wanted to make the most of our day. To our surprise, we also managed to meet 'Loose Women' star, Coleen Nolan, who also happens to be the mum of Jake Roche, frontman of Rixton! She was also very, very friendly and was happy to take a photo with us and have a quick chat. All in all, the day was very exciting, despite not actually getting to see the recording - at least I could watch it on catch up at home!<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed this week's post and I love to hear about any TV audience experiences that you've had! Comment below or tweet them to me at @charlyblogs.<br />

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited to be able to say that I have finally seen my all-time favourite band (who I've adored since I was a toddler!) and it was everything I was hoping it would be! After so many years of anticipation and assumptions, it was relieving to hear that Busted were getting back together, giving me a chance to experience a Busted concert for real (rather than watching their 2004 tour DVD over and over!).<br />
<br />
When I first heard that Busted were reuniting, I was obviously super excited, but there was a slight sense of suspicion as to what Charlie's motives were, after his refusal to take part in the McBusted era. However, after watching a couple of interviews, I soon realised how wrong I had been and how enthusiastic all three of them were to be back together!<br />
<br />
The show itself was amazing - the support acts were Youtuber, Emma Blackery and punk band, Wheatus. We didn't arrive early enough to catch Emma's set but we saw Wheatus and it was like stepping back in time! I didn't recognise some of their newer material but as soon as 'Teenage Dirtbag' started playing, I was up on my feet and dancing; the whole arena was buzzing!<br />
<br />
Then it was time for the main event: it started with a giant, somewhat eerie, pig floating around the arena, while snatches of a VT were played on the screens, building the tension and anticipation. Then all of a sudden, the lights were off, the music was playing and Busted were on stage in London for the first time in 12 years!<br />
<br />
The gig featured the big hits like 'Air Hostess', 'Crashed the Wedding' and 'What I Go to School For', as well as some new songs including 'Coming Home' and the brand new tracks 'Easy' and 'One of a Kind'. My personal favourite was 'Sleeping With the Light On' as this has been my favourite Busted song since forever! And naturally, they finished with the killer 'Year 3000', along with smoke, lights and confetti canons, which sent the crowd absolutely crazy.<br />
<br />
It was a super memorable night and I'm so happy that I had the chance to see my faves live for the first time! I also managed to buy a tour t-shirt (which is linked on my '<a href="http://charlotteandtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/p/wish-list.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Loves</a>' page) which added to my excitement!<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed this post - if you've been to see the Pigs Can Fly tour or saw Busted the first time round, tweet me or leave a comment below. I'd love to hear about your experiences!<br />

Hiya!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is my last official weekend of freedom before exam season starts so I thought that I would share my top tips for revision/exams that I find useful and that help me. I actually took one of my GCSEs last year so I'm well prepped for exactly what sitting public exams feels like so hopefully this will help!<br />

As an avid note maker, I used to hate people telling me to 'mix up' my revision because I just couldn't see the benefits. However, I've finally finished all of my notes and I've been able to start using past papers to practice and it's been really useful! My advice would be to start writing notes as early as you possibly can, which gives you the maximum amount of time to read through them and do past papers.<br />
<span style="color: #f60851; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"> </span></span><br />

I cannot stress how important organisation is when it comes to tests and revision - it's helped me so much over the last couple of months and has helped me feel calm and in control of my revision. The main ways that I've stayed organised is by making a colourful exam timetable, so that I know exactly when all of my exams are and also by making a list of all the notes that I still needed to make. If you struggle to decide what to revise each night, make a revision timetable so you know exactly what you should be revising.<br />

Right before the exam, you might be feeling nervous, anxious, and maybe even a little bit sick! However, you can't let this ruin how hard you've worked and the time that you've spent preparing for them. The best piece of advice that I can give is: don't listen to anything that anyone says right before you go into the exam room! The worst thing you can possibly do is join in with someone's last minute panic revision ramble - I guarantee that you'll start to feel panicked and worry that you can't remember what they're talking about and that's exactly what you don't want before you go into an exam! Just take a moment to chill yourself out and get into the right frame of mind so you can walk in and absolutely smash that exam!<br />

Finally, make sure you stay positive throughout the revision period and the exams! The minute you let the stress and pressure get the better of you, you'll lose focus and won't revise as well as you could! If you're lacking in motivation, just think of all the amazing, fun, enjoyable things you can do once exams are over - the main things that I think about are going on holiday, prom and sunbathing!</div>

Also, if anyone has any other tips that help them, feel free to leave them in the comments below or tweet them to me (@charlyblogs). Finally, I'll try and post as much as can during exam season but I can't make any promises because sadly, exams and revision take priority!

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm just going to jump straight into the book review today because I don't really have anything else to update you guys on because my life currently consists of revision, food and sleep! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'The List' documents the lives of several teenage girls from different years in high school who are all connected in some way; mainly because they have all been featured on this year's list of the prettiest and ugliest girls in the school. I love books like this as it allows the reader to explore the world that has been created from so many different perspectives and allows them to gain a better understanding of the situations that occur.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls that the novel follows are so so different which makes the plot so much more interesting as they all come from such different backgrounds and have different stories to tell. At first, I found it hard to remember exactly who was who, but once I got further into the story, I was completely clued up. 'The List' shows exactly how brutal and ugly the opinions of teenage girls can be but in a humorous, laughable way which helps the novel to stay light.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the topics that are addressed in the novel are pretty hardcore, such as one of the main characters suffering from an eating disorder, which I think is really important as it brings awareness to the hardships that some people may be going through and how it affects others. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite character has to be Margo. She is the typical all-American, popular, pretty (and kind of mean!) girl who actually suffers a lot more than everyone assumes. The portrayal of her character is so unique as the reader is constantly torn between hating her and loving her and I think that this is such an interesting way of creating a character. She is a much more complex character than what I first assumed and I liked the surprise element of the depth of her character.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In general, I think 'The List' is a realistic, cynical, yet humorous depiction of what high school life is like and how quickly teenage girls can change their opinion of someone depending on popularity and public perception. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that fancies a true-to-life, accurate portrayal of what high school is really like, and will take the reader through the roller coaster that is high school!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed the review - if you've read the book, tweet me what you thought on @charlyblogs.</div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels like I haven't uploaded in forever and I'm super sorry about that but sadly I've been crazy busy due to exam season and all the revision I've been doing. However I've got a really fun and exciting post for you today and I hope you enjoy it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've read any of my previous posts, I'm sure you'll know how much I love to go to concerts; so you can imagine my excitement when I bought myself a ticket for the 'wowpit' section for the Vamps O2 Arena show on the 1st April! For anyone who's not sure, the wowpit is a small standing area directly in front of the stage that lets you get as close as possible to the stage and the band (very cool!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was my first experience with something this exclusive a concert so I wanted to make the most of it and enjoy all of the benefits so my friends and I arrived at the O2 at 10:30am to ensure that we would be at the very front - sounds crazy, I know! When we arrived, a tiny queue had already started forming so we quickly got in line, secured our places and began the 8 hour wait until the doors opened. Surprisingly, the time passed fairly quickly but I think that might have been partly to do with all the yummy food we kept eating! The time between the door opening and getting unto the arena was pretty stressful as everyone was pushing and shouting and I actually got separated from my friends but eventually we made into the wowpit and we got a space at the barrier, right in front of Connor's mic stand!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The show itself was out of this world - no matter how many times I see the Vamps, I never ever get bored and I always come out desperate to see them again! Being at the very front was such a crazy experience as I kept forgetting how many other people were sitting behind me watch in the exact same thing and it was a bit of a shock when I turned round and saw all of the people! Another funny (and a little bit scary) shock I got was just after the first song 'Rest Your Love', the pyrotechnics kicked in and they were REALLY CLOSE! For a second, I was worried that my eyebrows had been singed off!<br />
<br />
The other major benefit of being at the barrier is that you get to interact with the band a lot which is such a surreal experience! I seemed to make a lot of eye contact with Brad and Connor as they were closest to me and Connor also gave me and my friends the thumbs up signal which made my friends and I scream and shout quite a lot - oops!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I just want to say how amazing the whole experience was and how lucky I felt to be able to say that I've been front row at my favourite band's concert after 2 or 3 years of supporting them. If you ever get the chance to be in the wowpit equivalent at your favourite artist's show - grab it! It really was such a crazy, amazing night and I haven't stopped talking about it since; it was that good!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed reading about my experience and I'd love to see any of your photos from the Vamps tour if you've also been. Tweet them to me at @charlyblogs and tell me what date you went to - I love to have some more Vamps fans to chat to!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon,</span><br />

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For today's post, I've decided to do something a bit different; instead of writing about celebrities or posting a review, I thought that I would write about a rather exciting personal milestone (albeit, slightly stressful!) that's been happening in the last couple of weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friends and I have known each other since we were tiny and as a result, we've grown up together and been there for each other through all kinds of things! So, to celebrate the end of all of our exams (and, at the moment, this is a major motivation to revise!), we thought that it would be a good idea to organise a group holiday. We've always talked about how our first holiday without our families would be with each other so to see it finally starting to come together was super exciting! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, if you've ever been a part of a group holiday, I'm sure you'll know how hard it is to please everyone and to come to a suitable agreement! We searched all of the holiday letting sights for absolutely hours, trying to find a house that would accommodate us all and that we all liked, and let me tell you, that's much easier said than done! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, we found a house that we all liked, that suited our budget and that wasn't too much of a trek for us all (we wanted to save as much as possible on travel!). I will admit, it was really hard work to plan it but now that it's all finished, I'm super excited and I just can't wait to sit back and chill with my friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you've enjoyed the different style of post today - I thought that I'd experiment a little bit! Let me know if you have any holidays planned for the summer, I'd love to hear about them. Tweet me (@charlyblogs) or leave a comment below!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hiya!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm super excited about this post as I've never done anything like it before but I think you'll all really enjoy it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Following on from my last post, a book review of Saba Kapur's debut novel 'Lucky Me' (check it out <a href="http://charlotteandtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/book-review-lucky-me-by-saba-kapur.html" target="_blank">here</a>), I was lucky enough to be able to interview Saba! She is such a sweet person and was more than happy to answer the questions I gave her so Saba, if you're reading, thank you so much! So without further ado, go ahead and enjoy the interview - it's a goodie!</span></div>

character, because it’s easy to just write her off (no pun intended) as spoiled
and immature. But under all of the Chanel handbags and serial complaining,
she’s still just a teenage girl going through an uncertain and stressful time
in her life. Despite being scared and confused, she still wants to take charge
of her situation by trying to solve the mystery herself, even if this sometimes
lands her in more trouble than before! Although it may not always show in
conventional ways, Gia is definitely a tough girl, and she was lots fun to
write.</span></div>

wasn’t something that I thought of pursuing in a professional sense. Although
writing played a huge part in my childhood, it was always just a hobby. I never
really considered myself as an aspiring author, and truthfully still have
trouble with calling myself one now! When I began writing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lucky Me, </i>I initially didn’t plan on it ever leaving the safe haven
of my laptop screen, let alone it being published into a novel. I’ve been
extremely lucky in the way things have worked out. My book is aptly named!</span></div>

to this question, but I’ll have to stick with the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Harry Potter</i> series, by J.K. Rowling. The novels really sparked my
love affair with books, and I never fail to be awed by how the characters are
so beautifully constructed. Like so many others, I grew up with Harry, Ron and
Hermione. In many ways they were not just fictional characters, but rather my
friends.</span></div>

the main character, Gia, I was wondering if you had incorporated any of your

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.05pt; tab-stops: 45.8pt 91.6pt 137.4pt 183.2pt 229.0pt 274.8pt 320.6pt 366.4pt 412.2pt 458.0pt 503.8pt 549.6pt 595.4pt 641.2pt 687.0pt 732.8pt;">

but I’ve tried to incorporate many of my own personality traits into her
character. For example, we are both quite witty and sarcastic, and can be very
stubborn when things aren’t going our way! We share a love for fashion,
chocolate and Audrey Hepburn, and we’ve both had a decent amount of high school
drama to deal with! We also share the same taste in men (although to be fair,
Ryan Gosling is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everyone’s</i> taste).
That being said, Gia and I are also extremely different. My wardrobe isn’t half
as fancy as hers and I’m pretty sure she’s never had to do the dishes in her
life. She is also far more impulsive and reckless than I am, and doesn’t mind
getting into a bit of trouble. I, on the other hand, am a complete
goody-two-shoes!<br />

process stuck in a state of writer’s block! When you create a whole world of
characters, it’s easy to get swept up in the endless possibilities that you
have complete control of. Too many ideas in your head can actually leave you
without <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">any </i>ideas to put on paper. My
best advice for overcoming writer’s block is to not throw your laptop at a
wall, like I was tempted to do so many times. Try to work with whatever ideas
you’ve got in your mind, no matter how small they are. Some of them might be
terrible, but there’s always going to be a great one hiding in there. Be
patient and persistent, even when it’s frustrating. If all else fails, eat some
chocolate. That pretty much solves all my problems in life.<br />

from every book I read. If there’s something I don’t like in a book, I think of
how I would do it differently. Similarly, if there’s something I really love
about an author’s work, I’m always trying to find a way to incorporate those
elements into my own writing. My biggest influences have come from authors such
as Meg Cabot, Janet Evanovich and Sophie Kinsella. They are true masters in the
world of romance, mystery and comedy, and really helped craft my writing style.</span></div>

every time I’m pleasantly surprised that someone thinks I’m qualified enough to
answer it! Truth be told, I am no expert on the writing industry, but I can
offer advice from my own experiences. Writing a novel can be a long and often
disappointing process, especially when you’re a young writer like myself. Most
days you’re going to stare at your work and tell yourself that it’s probably never
going to happen. But that’s the beauty of story telling. There’s always a new
one to be told, so why can’t that new one be yours? Most importantly, you have to
have confidence in your work. If you’re not willing to back yourself up, then
no one else will either!</span></div>

Hiya!<br />
<br />
Today I've got a book review for you guys - it feels like I haven't written a 'booky' post in ages! I'm really excited for you to read this review because I absolutely loved the book!<br />
<br />
When I read the blurb for 'Lucky Me', I thought the book would follow quite a stereotypical romantic comedy plot line. However, within the first few chapters, my preconceptions had been proved completely wrong and I realised that the story was a lot more intricate than what I first thought, yet still made for a super funny read with plenty of cute moments!<br />
<br />
The book is based around an 18 year old school girl, Gia, who has super famous parents who are always in the public eye. Gia begins to receive mysterious texts and phone calls from an elusive Dr. D, which along with her dad hiring bodyguards for the whole family, completely turns her world upside down; especially when she's strangely attracted to her bodyguard, Jack.<br />
<br />
I loved the insight into the celebrity world that the book provided, while also ensuring that the plot was still relatable. Gia encounters many of the same trials and tribulations that most teenagers face, just with the added pressure of being the child of a super famous actor and actress!<br />
<br />
I'm really hoping that there will be a sequel to follow 'Lucky Me' because I feel that there is a big plot line that could be explored and I would be interested to see how the story continues - I've got all my fingers and toes crossed! <br />
<br />
Overall, I would definitely recommend that you go and pre-order 'Lucky Me' right away because it's honestly such a brilliantly written book and it amazes me that Saba Kapur is only 19 and has achieved so much!<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading and I hope you've enjoyed it! I want to know what books you've been reading lately - tweet me or leave a comment below.<br />

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels like I haven't posted in forever - I'm sorry! I've been super busy recently with school work as the date of my first exam is creeping closer and closer, so I've been revising constantly. However, I haven't forgotten about you all! As I haven't posted in a while, I've decided to recap my February with the help of lots of photos that I've taken over the month; of course, they mostly feature celebs so be prepared for plenty of glitzy photos!<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
Right at the beginning of February, I went to Radio 1 to meet Shawn Mendes as he was doing his first ever live lounge. It was such an exciting day and I was amazed at the amount of people that had turned up to meet him - I have liked Shawn since he began touring with Magcon so to see him gain so much publicity in the UK is mind-blowing!</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the same day that I met Shawn Mendes, I also saw Gary Barlow! We had heard that he was going to be at Radio 2 (which is just around the corner of Radio 1), and my mum absolutely loves Take That so I thought it would be fun to meet Gary. Unfortunately, we weren't quite close enough to speak to him but I did manage to snap this photo of him posing with a fan.</div>

</tbody></table>
Fast forward to around 2 weeks later and you'll find me at a TV recording for MTV. The vamps were taking part in MTV's 'Live Lockdown' series and I won tickets to be in the audience! There were only 200 people there and it was one of the coolest concert experiences that I've had - I loved it! I'm not sure when it's going to be broadcast but I'll tweet the date if I find out.<br />
<br />
Finally, the last set of photos are probably the most exciting ones! I was lucky enough to win tickets to the Brits Red Carpet, meaning I was able to watch all of the celebrities arrive and walk the red carpet! We were able to see plenty of celebrities including Adele, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Kylie Minogue, Jim Chapman and Caspar Lee. The pictures I managed to take are pretty blurry because I was just so so excited - oops!<br />

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, my family and I drove down to Devon to visit my Auntie and Uncle as they moved there a couple of years ago. It usually takes around 5 hours to drive there so I wanted to be fully prepared for the journey, because I'm not a massive fan of travelling as I suffer from car sickness. This then got me thinking about what my absolute travel essentials are - and I thought that I'd make a list and share it with you guys! So here we go:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Headphones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, listening to music on a long journey is the best way to occupy yourself. I love putting my headphones on and daydreaming the journey away - I almost always fall asleep as well! However, don't make the same mistake that I did on the journey home; I forgot to replace the batteries in my headphones so I had to use in-ear buds for 5 hours! It's safe to say that my ears were a bit sore when we got home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Snacks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Food is obviously super important - there's nothing worse than being bored AND hungry so small snacks and bottles of water are vital. Also, you don't want to be caught out by the uber expensive service station prices. My favourite travel snacks are a packet of crisps, water and some chocolate - yummy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Pillows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never go anywhere without my pillows because I just can't get a good nights sleep without them. I've tried to use hotel pillows before and they just feel so foreign and uncomfortable. So, I take my pillows in the car with me and use them for extra comfort for the journey as well as for the actual nights sleep.<br />
<br />
4. Books<br />
Although I suffer from travel sickness, sometimes I find that reading can distract me from feeling sick. To save space, take an e-reader (such as a kindle) with you - 1000's of books in one place! If books aren't your thing, try flicking through a magazine or a newspaper - there's plenty of photos to keep you happy.<br />
<br />
These are just a couple of the things that I always take with me when travelling but feel free to comment below what you always take with you - I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">See you soon,</span><br />

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've planned to do a book review for today's post because I ran a poll on Twitter and those that voted said they wanted to see more book and beauty posts. If you want to have a say on what you see on my blog then make sure you follow me on Twitter (@charlyblogs) because I'll be running more polls throughout the year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a huge fan of Sophie Kinsella's books and I've followed the Shopaholic series religiously for the last couple of years (since I first discovered the novels). As soon as I heard that 'Shopaholic to the Rescue' was being released, I put it straight on my Christmas list! The previous novel, 'Shopaholic to the Stars' ended on such a cliffhanger and I was desperate to find out what happened next. When I unwrapped the book on Christmas day, I was beyond excited because I realised that all of the questions that had been swirling around in my head for a year would finally be answered - I couldn't wait to start reading it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting with the positives, I want to say how hilarious the entire book was. The main character, Becky, is full of funny one liners and her erratic, crazy approach to life is always hilarious to read about. Her husband, Luke, has always got a witty (and often skeptical!) remark to make about Becky's antics which makes the situations even funnier. Another great point about the book is the constant reference to friendship and loyalty. It's refreshing to read a novel that really addresses how important it is to stay loyal to your friends, no matter what they're going through. It shows that how ever busy and stressed you feel, your friends will always be there for you. It's such a nice message to send out!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a slightly more negative note, I have to admit that this wasn't my favourite Shopaholic book. I thought the plot was too long winded and the story didn't seem to really begin until near the end of the novel. While I thought it was a good book, it definitely wasn't in my top 10. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I thought the book was okay but I thought that it needed for excitement in the plot to engage the reader. In saying that, it hasn't put me off of the Shopaholic series and I will definitely buy the next one (fingers crossed another one is released!). What books have you read recently?

Hiya!<br />
<br />
Recently, I've become absolutely obsessed with eye makeup and I've been buying loads of palettes so I can create all different kinds of looks. However, the only ones that I've been able to afford are drugstore palettes from brands such as MUA and Rimmel. Although these palettes were really good, I wanted to test out a more high end palette to see how they compare. So for my birthday, my friends treated me to Too Faced's 'Chocolate Bar' palette which features dreamy pinks, browns and purples - beautiful!<br />
<br />
BRAND: Too Faced<br />
PRODUCT: Chocolate Bar Eye Palette<br />
NO. OF SHADES: 16<br />
PRICE: £39<br />
<br />
I researched so many different brands when I was deciding which palette I wanted because it's such a big commitment when they're all quite expensive! I wanted this particular palette because the colours suited my complexion (brown eyes, brown hair, tanned skin) and there was a good variety of light and dark shades.<br />
<br />
I was so excited when I opened it as I saw that it came with a 'Glam Guide' which featured three different eye looks using various shades. This is such a great addition to the product as it gave me a starting point when deciding which shades complement each other.<br />
<br />
My favourite shades at the moment are 'creme brulee', 'black forest truffle' and 'marizpan' because I adore the glitter in them! It adds a shimmery effect to the eye and makes the eye look larger.<br />
<br />
Something I wasn't expecting from the palette was the delicious chocolatey smell that fills the air the minute that you open it! It's such a nice touch and makes the product so unique and original. I've since found out that the shadows are made form anti-oxidant rich cocoa powder which not only smells really great but also does wonders for your skin - an added bonus!<br />
<br />
Overall. I would highly recommend this product as the shades are just so PRETTY! Each shadow is super pigmented, meaning only a few strokes of a brush need to be used to create a bright and vibrant effect. I would definitely say that the product is well worth the money, so if you're debating whether or not to buy it... go for it!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed the review and I'd love to know what makeup you're loving at the moment - tweet me on @charlyblogs or tag me on Instagram on @charlyblogs.<br />

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know how obsessed I am with concerts - live music in general actually! So, with the year coming to an end, I thought I'd round up my 2015 using concerts because that's just the best way to do it, isn't it?<br />

Hiya!<br>
<br>
*Note: this is a post I have just discovered that was hidden away in my drafts section, so I thought I'd upload it as a thank you for sticking with me while I've been inactive - thank you!*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I seem to be doing at the moment is reading and blogging... it's not a bad combination though so I don't mind! I picked by a copy of 'My Secret Rockstar Boyfriend' at YALC last weekend as I'd seen it advertised so much lately that I thought 'hey why not give it a go?'. It also could have been to do with the large 'ALL PAPERBACKS £5' sign that kept catching my eye every time I walked past!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was eager to start reading as it was yet another musical, romance novel that I'd managed to get my hands on. The celebrity world is a great mystery to the average person so when reading this type of book, your imagination can run wild!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday Cooper is just an average, 'kooky' girl who loves to blog about her quirky music taste. She has four loyal readers: her mum, her boyfriend, her best friend and her best friend's girlfriend. It's not what you'd call huge but Tuesday's happy. However, it all changes when the mysterious user <i>jackson_e_griffith </i>starts commenting on her posts. Could it really be the real Jackson Griffith, world famous rockstar?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt that the progress of the story was very slow at the start and I didn't understand who characters were as there wasn't much of an explanation. However, I quickly got to grips with the plot and I fell in love with the story! Instead of defined chapters, each section of the story was separated by a blog post written by Tuesday. I thought that this was a really nice touch and fitted right in with the quirkiness of the whole book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved how passionate Tuesday was and the fact that she wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She was a great main character because she wasn't the typical 'it' girl that you often find in young adult romance novels. The relationship between Tuesday and her mum was adorable and I thought it was really unique for a character to not dwell on the fact that they have a broken family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ending wasn't one that I particularly liked but it was much more realistic in comparison to other celebrity-normal person relationships portrayed in similar books. Overall, it was a fascinating read that had me completely hooked and finished it about a day and a half! I would recommend it but maybe not if you're someone who enjoys a super happy, romance-filled ending (I hope I haven't given too much away!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See you soon,</div>

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry for the lack of posts this month - I feel so bad! There are so many posts that I'm desperate to write but I just haven't had time lately as I've been trying to get on top of all my school work as I missed a substantial amount of school last year due to medical reasons. So for the moment, just bare with me as I'll be back posting regularly soon, I promise!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a more positive note, I want to say a massive thank you to anyone who's ever had a look at this blog as Charlotte + the World has now received over 1.000 views, which is so crazy! Thank you, thank you, thank you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise I'll be back soon but in the meantime you'll be able to find me doing assessment after assessment and essay after essay!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like I've uploaded so many book reviews lately - I hope you've been enjoying them! Today I'm going to be reviewing the novel 'Everything, Everything' by Nicola Yoon.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Madeleine Whittier is allergic to the world. She can't leave her 'world-proof' house and the only people that she regularly interacts with are her mother and her nurse. However, when a new family move into the house next door, mysterious Olly attempts to reach out to Madeleine. Cracks in her protective bubble start to form and Madeleine becomes more and more desperate to experience the world; but what would happen to her if she broke free?</div>

I'd seen a lot of 'Everything, Everything' on Twitter and there just seemed to be such a huge hype surrounding it, so when it appeared on NetGalley, I thought 'let's give it a go!'. It's not the type of book that I would usually read but I started it with an open mind and I was pleasantly surprised! It wasn't as medical based as I thought it would be and I found that I shared a strong interest with Madeleine - a love of books! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way Madeleine's life was described was super intriguing because it didn't provoke automatic sympathy. Instead, I was filled with questions that I desperately wanted to know the answers to; does she go to school? Does she have any plans for the future? What would happen to her if she went outside? SO MANY QUESTIONS. I became so immersed in the story that I barely stopped reading it until I'd finished it! </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olly was such a caring character and this was unique in itself as you don't come across many genuine caring people in real life! He preserved with Madeleine and was patient with her illness which was super sweet and showed that he really liked her... AW. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ending was huge! I couldn't believe what I was reading, if I'm honest. It was such a major plot twist but it then made the book different from the stereotypical 'dying girl' story. I would most definitely recommend it and I suggest you pre-order it now because it will be flying off the shelves faster than <i>The Fault in Our Stars, </i>trust me!</div>

Hiya!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm super excited to write this post so I think I'm just going to get straight to it!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those of you who don't know what YALC is, it stands for 'Young Adult Literature Convention' and it's a super exciting extension of Comic Con UK. It's a place for all the authors, publishers, booksellers, and of course, the readers to come together and talk about all things books. I think it's such a great idea as it brings the book community so much closer together and is a cool way of sharing new book content and finding new friends over a shared love of books!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the Friday, I went with my cousin, Kelly, who is just as book obsessed as me and is actually the person who persuaded me to read Harry Potter - without her, I may never have discovered the magical world that I love so much! We had a late start that was purely down to the 'family lateness gene'... none of us, and I mean NONE of us, ever run to time, oops! Anyway, it's good to be fashionably late, right? We got to Olympia (the venue) at around 4pm and eagerly raced through the check in area, desperate to see as much as possible. We headed straight to the YALC floor and we were mostly definitely not disappointed! After wandering around in a bit of a shocked daze, we stumbled across the information desk where we picked up our complimentary YALC totes, which were filled with bookish goodies - so cool! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once we'd acclimatized to our surroundings, we stared to really take in all the different things that were happening. There were so many author signings taking place, so we decided to have a look at who was there. The author's name that caught Kelly's eye the most was Darren Shan, renowned young adult horror writer. Her brother/my cousin is absolutely obsessed with his work so we thought a signed book would be a well appreciated gift! We quickly brought the first 'Zom-B' book and jumped in the queue. After around an hour of queuing, we were finally at the front of line and I was actually very excited considering I'd never read a single one of his books before! He quickly guessed that the book wasn't for us and began asking us about my cousin so he could write him a personalised message which I thought was super cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After many 'thank-yous', we walked off and decided to have a quick look around the lower level, the Comic Con level, before heading back upstairs for the Harry Potter party. I wouldn't call myself a comic fan but I still really enjoyed looking around Comic Con - the effort that people put into their cosplays is crazy... props to you guys! The theme this year was 'Back to the Future' as 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the first film in the trilogy. I'm a huge BTTF fan so to know that I've been in the same building as the likes of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd is SO COOL - total fangirl moment! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At around 6:30pm, the real fun began! We headed back to the YALC section and took our seats in the main stage area and eagerly waited for the party to start. We were given a short introduction to what the night would consist of and were introduced to our head of houses for the night. We then got started on a horcrux hunt - just like Harry, Ron and Hermione! We had to race around the YALC section and try and find all 7 horcruxes to earn points for our house - this was definitely my favourite part of the night! After about half an hour of searching, we all gave in our sheets so that the point could be added up throughout the party. We then began the second activity of the night, GNOMEs; Gruellingly Nauseating and Onerous Mugglenet Exercises. Take it from me, those questions were hard! Our team (made up of just me and Kelly!) managed a measly 11.5 out of 20, while the winners got an enormous 19 out of 20 - congrats! Finally, there was a cosplay competition, where everyone who wanted to, had a chance to show of their fantastic costumes on the YALC main stage. My personal favourite and also the winner, was Hermione with a twist; she was Hermione after she'd taken the polyjuice potion in the Chamber of Secrets... so in other words, a cat! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then headed home, absolutely exhausted but completely buzzing. I met my dad at the station and chewed his ear of the whole journey home, telling him about how cool my day had been! If you went, leave a comment of what your favourite part was (of Comic Con or YALC, I don't mind!).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hiya!</div>
</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I the only blogger who finds motivation to write at silly hours of the night? Maybe 23:40 is the new 9 to 5! Haha, enough of my late night waffling - it's review time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first came across 'A Summer Like No Other', I was instantly drawn to it; it was a total cliché, brother's best friend, summer romance scenario - my favourite! It progressed in a fairly predictable way although in no way was it boring or repetitive. It had a good balance of humour and heartbreak and gave the occasional tug on the heartstrings which I think make a the perfect recipe for a young adult romance novel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was absolutely loving the story right up until the last couple of chapters when I felt suddenly disconnected. The story seemed rushed and I just felt like there was so much more that needed to be explained. I think there is definitely an opening for another book but I'm not sure if it was intentional.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite character was definitely Nonna, Emilia's cooking mad grandmother. She wasn't featured in the book often, but when she was, she always had a wise word or two up her sleeve. It reminded me of the stereotypical grandmother image that I've got in my head; always there to offer you sound advice along with a biscuit or three!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, the book wasn't one of my favourites but I would recommend it if you're looking for a quick, simple, summer read.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hiya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I live in the suburbs of London so the capital is only a 30 minute train ride away and I take full advantage of this! Spending time in London is great because nothing ever stays the same. For example, Trafalgar Square is always, always changing because of all the different shows and performances that are put on in front of the huge lions. In this post, I'm going to give you an idea of what I do when I go to London (they're all cheap as well!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f60851; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">1.
Sight-See</span><span style="color: #f60851;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Be a tourist for the day! You would do it in a different country so why not have a look around your own? You'd be surprised at the amount of things you didn't know were in London or how much history some of the buildings have. If you want a guided tour then I'd recommend the bus tours or the river boat tours which are my personal favourite. If not, then plan your route before you go, making sure you've got the London Eye and Buckingham Palace on your list!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f60851; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">2.
Picnic in Hyde Park</span><span style="color: #f60851;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
This is such a simple thing to do but it's so much fun, especially if you go in a big group. Everyone can bring some food or you could pop into an express supermarket when you get there, although they tend to be way more expensive than normal supermarkets! Take a couple of picnic blankets so that you can lounge around and just enjoy each others' company. This is weather dependent though so I'd advise you only plan it for summer outings!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Watch a Film Premiere</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
If you've read some of my previous posts, you'll know how much I love film premieres (if not check them out <a href="http://charlotteandtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/entourage-european-premiere-experience.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://charlotteandtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/celebrity-stalker-oops.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and I just had to mention them! They're completely free, they're so exciting and they make you feel like you're a part of the glitzy Hollywood lifestyle. To see what premieres are happening in 2015, click <a href="http://www.cornucopia-events.co.uk/premiere/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f60851; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">4. Go to Covent Garden</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Covent Garden is a really cool mix of modern shops and market stalls which means you can find some really unique things. There are also loads of street performers wandering around which are always super fun and entertaining. It's also a short walk away from embankment, so on a nice day you can go and sit by the river in one of the many bars and <span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">cafés.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #f60851; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">5.
Shopping</span><span style="color: #f60851;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Nothing can compare to shopping in London because of the sheer size of all of the shops! Most of them are the flagship stores which means they stock pretty much everything the shop sells so you get the best range of clothes which is always nice. Also, the number of shops dotted around London is crazy - you can find almost anything! The places I visit most are Regent Street and Oxford Street but I do like Carnaby Street as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Hiya!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've got another book review for you all today! I'm really enjoying reading at the moment and there just seems to be so many books that I want to read! I really enjoyed reading 'Anna and the Shy Guy' and I'm really interested in reading more by Suze Winegardner.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Anna and the Shy Guy' is based around fictional band 'Seconds to Juliet' who are a group of teen pop sensations. However, one of them isn't who they say they are; Will Fray is actually Matt Fray, Will's twin brother, who is reluctantly filling in for Will while he's in rehab. Trouble is, hardly anyone knows this and it has to stay top secret... a hard feat when there's a sweet reporter called Anna hanging around who's desperate for a big scoop to get her off of the streets. What will Anna pick? A pay check that will make her eyes water or a boy who's slowly winning her over?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">'Anna and the Shy Guy' covers the reality of homelessness and gives everyone a reminder that not everyone is blessed with a roof over their heads. It's such an empowering message because it shows that regardless of your situation, you can still get your big break and still make your dreams come true, as long as you work hard enough.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course, it's not all doom and gloom and there are some really cute, heart clenching moments that just make you want to squeal with happiness! Not only is Matt and Anna's relationship really sweet but also the friendship between Natasha and Anna is so strong right from the beginning. It shows that it really doesn't matter how long you've been friends or how long you've known each other, it's just nice to know that someone's got your back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">The only thing I thought it lacked was stories of the other boys in the band but I guess that what the other books in the series are for! I loved this book and thought it was a great teen romance novel and I would definitely recommend it to the boy band obsessed, romance lovers out there!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">See you soon,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Charlotte x</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rUoY84M3mms/VZ2YuQnCzrI/AAAAAAAAAOo/XRYA6-nOQyM/s640/blogger-image-1424817655.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rUoY84M3mms/VZ2YuQnCzrI/AAAAAAAAAOo/XRYA6-nOQyM/s640/blogger-image-1424817655.jpg"></a></div><br></div>
