Collecting: Pop! Vinyls

My current obsession is Funko Pop! vinyl figures. They are basically these really awesome vinyl figures which you can get in various designs. They range from tv, film, cartoon, musicians, comic book, and even sports characters. 

I have always loved collecting and these figures feed my collecting habit. What's really wonderful about these figures is that they all have the same eyes, yet they all actually look like their characters. It's very clever.

I love purchasing these when I go to conventions as they don't break the bank and they are a nice treat. I'm most excited about buying the Buffy and Firefly ones, hopefully I will be able to get my hands on them.

I have 12 Pop! Vinyls already, and can't wait to buy more. There are so many different ones out there, the list is never ending, and so is my wish list.

Snuggle up with a film

Nothing beats being wrapped up with a hot cup of tea in my hand watching some of my favourite movies.

A couple of my favourite movies to watch in the Autumn are Shopgirl and Once.

Shopgirl stars the beautiful Claire Danes, Steve Martin and my super favourite Mr Jason Schwartzman. Shopgirl is a really cute romantic comedy with an indie feel. Claire Danes' character, Mirabelle is an aspiring artist who works behind a glove counter at a Beverly Hills department store. She meets two very different men, Schwartzman's character Jeremy and Martin's  character Ray. The movie is all about Mirabelle finding the right person for her.

I remember the first time I watched this movie and thinking to myself how much I felt for Claire Danes' character. All the hardship and potholes in looking for that special person.

Another wonderful movie to watch all wrapped up this Autumn is Once. This is another perfect movie, which is shot beautifully.

Once is a gorgeous story of two souls who find each other on the streets of Dublin. They both have a passion for music and come together to help and inspire one another.

The soundtrack to this film is worth the watch, let alone the great characters portrayed by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. The film is very inspiring because it makes you believe in yourself. That you can achieve great things if you really put your mind to it. Also with the help of other creative people. 'If You Want Me' is my favourite track. It fills me with joy and sadness. It's a beautiful song.

Two wonderful films to watch with that special person or dear friend, which are perfect for an Autumn afternoon.

Autumn is in the air

So it's officially Autumn now. The start of my favourite season. The colours, the hot drinks, the movie nights, new tv shows starting, giant jumpers and wrapping up warm.

-The colours of the leaves on the trees, and then when the leaves fall on the ground. I love walking through them and trying to find the perfect coloured leaves. It's the smell of Autumn.

-All the hot drinks that appear in the shops suddenly. Like the Starbucks pumpkin latte which has re-appeared. It's sad to start saying goodbye to the iced coffees, but so many wonderful hot drinks to try and enjoy all wrapped up in my favourite scarf.

-Another thing about Autumn that is exciting is all the new tv shows starting, or shows returning. I am most looking forward to seeing American Horror Story Freak Show and Gotham.

-I have recently purchased 5 new jumpers, one of which is a giant fluffy Batman print one. Everyone seems to hate it, but I love it.

I'm just so excited for all of what Autumn has to offer.
