I have been tagged by the fabulous Ms Constantine and I can never resist a good meme! It makes one of the hardest (for me anyway) aspects of blogging – sharing things about myself without rambling about rubbish nobody in their right mind would ever find interesting – easy, plus it’s something fun to do with my Monday morning!

What is your current obsession? Like everyone else, definitely TV shows. I’m currently also obsessed with True Blood, and I’m working my way through ReGenesis too, which is totally awesome and I’m quite surprised I managed to miss it the first time around.

What is your horoscope and do you relate? I’m a Scorpio and whilst I relate to some of the traits I’m supposed to have, there are many others I don’t relate to in the slightest. I am yet to be convinced by astrology, though I strive to keep an open mind about that sort of thing.

What are you wearing today? A red, knee-length full circle skirt, a loose grey drapey jersey top with a bow, and black ankle-strap flats. No jewellery or other accessories, I was in a hurry this morning and didn’t think about it.

What is the last thing you bought? Some washing tablets, 2 litres of diet coke and a kinder egg from the corner shop. Previous to that I bought a black sequined jacket and a “pearl” multi-strand necklace with a corsage from boohoo.com.

What do you think about the person who tagged you? She’s one of my favourite bloggers and her posts always make me smile, plus she makes some really awesome jewellery!

What’s for dinner? Probably filled pasta with a tomato-based sauce and a salad. I’m doing the grocery shopping this week, straight after work, so dinner will be something quick and easy as by the time I get home with it there won’t be much time to cook.

What’s your favourite decade, fashion wise? I love different things from different decades, so I’m not sure I can choose! I love 80s batwing tops, 50s full skirts, 60s colour-block shift dresses and the odd splash of 90s neon, to name but a few! I also love anything Victorian-inspired and adore gothic lolita and steampunk looks, so I really can’t pick a favourite!

What are your must haves for summer? Loose clothing, water, high-spf suncream, late nights with cocktails, barbecues, strawberries and beer gardens with friends.

What would you love to be able to afford? To take time off work and try to write a novel, my own house, a full domestic staff including a dedicated spider, moth and any other fluttery / insecty / arachnid – catcher, I basically wish I could afford a life of leisure in which I can pursue all the creative projects I’m itching to try.

What is your favourite piece of clothing from your wardrobe? My selection of cotton circle skirts that disguise my huge bum so well or my Topshop leather biker jacket.

What is your dream job? Bestselling writer or other career creative.

What is your favourite magazine? I only really buy magazines when I’m going on long journeys, and then it’s usually whatever has the most interesting cover stories, so I don’t really have a favourite.

Describe your personal style? Eclectic, sometimes ultra-girly, sometimes not, lots of black, red, frills, sparkle and glitter. So basically, I’m not sure I have a definable personal style, I wear whatever comes to hand first half the time!

Which Beatle is your favourite? This is probably a controversial opinion, but I’ve never been that much of a Beatles fan, certainly not enough to have a favourite. Though if I must, I’d say Ringo, because Thomas the Tank Engine was cool.

What are you proud of? My strength and independence, the amount I’ve been through and come out smiling, as well as my strong morals and willingness to do anything in my power to help the people I care about.

I’m not going to tag anyone because as usual I’m not sure who’s already filled it in. If you decide to answer it however, let me know!
