The BFI Top 100 Challenge

Bye, Bye Summer 

Summer 2013 has been so amazing, I've had such a good summer and have been lucky enough to go to 6 festivals and in two days I'm off to Spain for the weekend, yay I can't wait! 

Even though the summers almost over I'm quite excited to be going back to college and starting my new course. (TV and Film level 3) also it means Winters coming! Even though it means less party's and nights out I love winter and just the feel about it! Plus Winter outfits are so much more fun and cozy as you've got coats, boots, woolly jumpers and cardigans, more to choose from.


As I'm  a massive film geek and I'm starting a Tv and film course I need to watch a wind variety of films so I've set myself a task to watch The BFI's (The British Film Institute) top 100 Britsh films by the time the time I've finished college.

Wish me luck xx
