For my 18th birthday, I was treated to a trip to London. It looked so pretty and festive, so much so that I am desperate to pull out my ugliest Christmas jumper.
Last night I went into town to watch my brother play a gig with his friends in a band called Lives. They are an indie band, for fans of Circa Waves (also from Liverpool), The Neighbourhood, and Bombay Bicycle Club. Listen to their hit songs 'White Lies' and 'Short Memory' here. This is just a quick post to show you what I wore and what I got up to.
This year I am going to the Sunday of Leeds Festival with my friends, so I'm obviously super excited about that. The bands playing on that day include Royal Blood, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Circa Waves and Twin Atlantic - four of my favourites of all time. I am also excited about my choice of clothes for the day.. So yesterday I went into town to get some accessories to go with my outfit.
If you read my last post, you will know that yesterday I purchased some Fudge Urban Hair Art in 'Turquoise Noise', amongst a bundle of other products. Straight after I wrote that post, I decided I couldn't wait to play around with it. I had no intentions of giving myself a full head of blue hair...
I didn't literally spend £454473 in Superdrug, but, you know...
I did get a lot of stuff, and I can't wait to try 'em all out and feel all princessey. Is that a word? Just for fun, I had such an urge to write one of these posts, plus I'm really loving the list trend! So many of the best bloggers are writing them lately, whether it be about things 90s kids will remember or things that always somehow end up in the bottom of our handbags such as twelve pennies and a receipt from 2012. So anyway, here goes, if you haven't had at least one of these thoughts when in Primark, you're doing it wrong.
1) It's so, fucking hot. This is exactly why I don't come in here. 2) That dress is so cute, *picks dress up* But every idiot will have it on in college next week. *puts said dress back* 3) Oh. My. God. That girl who thinks she's Instagram famous was wearing that at the weekend. I wondered why she didn't comment back when someone asked her where it was from. 4) Great. Yet another rip-off of yet another Topshop dress I wanted two months ago. Excellent news. 5) If that child doesn't stop screaming... 6) Where has my mum got off to? I'll ring her. Oh, no phone signal. 7) It's a bit crap in here today, and I am not queuing just for a pack of rings that will turn my fingers green anyway. *Walks out and instantly regrets not buying said rings* 8) Wait, so I'm about to be £100 down for a handful of t-shirts, a midi skirt and some Sesame Street knickers? Buy a bag of cherries at the till and don't let this be a completely wasted trip. 9) Is it honestly neccesary to use paper bags. Paper. It's raining outside, this white top isn't gunna be white for long. And there we have it. A typical day in Primark. instagram - @thatspeach twitter - @thatspeach I visited the coolest place on Sunday; a small bar and restaurant called Death Row Dive and Diner. It is made to look like death row, and it is certainly done well! The walls are all exposed bricks and spiderwebs, with metal fences dividing the bar area from the diner. Everything down to the cell style toilets and the 'No Regrets' section of the menu is clearly inspired by death row. The lighting in there was extremely dim and most of the light came from red bulb writing on the walls, so most of the pictures I got ended up having a yellowy/orange tint over the top! I am going to share my choice of outfit and of course a couple of pictures from the diner!
Hi again guys. So tomorrow is my first day back at college after Christmas break! Unlike most people, I am actually really excited to go back. I love my lessons, my teachers and my friends, and I have missed it! It's a bit scary how close my exams are, but I am ready for the hard work. This year, my aim is to do well in my exams, and focus on dance and drama outside of college, and maybe attend a few auditions here and there. I am really optimistic about the future and I am eager to start getting involved with more theatre and TV projects, and who knows, this time next year my life could be a little different!
Hi lovelies. I hope you all had a wonderful New Year, and I would like to wish everybody the best of luck for the months to come. Today, I am going to share my choice of outfit, and tell you what I got up to on New Years Eve and New Years Day!
Happy New Years Eve everybody!
Today I am going to be writing my last post of 2014, and for that reason I thought I should dedicate it to my favourite things from the past month/season. This is going to include some bits about fashion, beauty, hair, and lifestyle. Enjoy! |
