She Said NO

Following on from the last post, she said no. HUGE MEGA IMMENSE SAD FACE! So, to cheer my self up, I've been browsing FashionGoneRogue and embracing Summer.

Rock en Seine

Now I know that going to T in the Park is completely out of reach, and every other festival in the UK which I would want to go to is either sold out or too expensive, I've decided to branch out. By branch out, I mean the little hop across the pond to FRANCE! I was just randomly searching and came across Rock en Seine. It's in Paris (I think....) and whether it's good or not, I have no clue, but the acts performing sound really cool.

These include ALL TIME LOW, THE KOOKS, FOALS, MASSIVE ATTACK, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, PAOLO NUTINI, TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB, PLAN B, STEREOPHONICS and THE TING TINGS.

These are spread over three days (27th August - 29th August), and for a three day pass, it's only £87! I know with travel and accomodation it would be more, but considering for only two days (no accomodation) T in the Park is £170, I think it's alright. Of course I would much rather go to T in the Park, but for me, this is a very good second place. I'm currently trying to persuade my mum that I could go as a birthday treat, and although my chances are slim, there is still hope!

I'll post the outcome very soon.... WISH ME LUCK!

Apologies

WOW, I only just realised today that I haven't posted in about two weeks! But, as I have exams looming over me, I will have to post-pone my blogging for now. I promise that either this weekend or next there will be a truckload of post!

Model Inspiration

I've decided to start doing a weekly inspiration post. Today's consists of some of my favourite models.

The models are: Sasha Pivovarova, Tao Okamoto, Toni Garrn, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Georgia May Jagger and Amanda Laine

So What If I Wish I Was A Rockstar Who Plays A Banjo And Wears A Bow Tie

Yes, the title is a real dream of mine, but for it to be complete I'd have to be a dude, and to be honest, I'm not very comfortable with that, so for now it will remain as just a dream.....

Anyways, I would like to introduce everyone to a singer/songwriter who is really talented and just generally cool! So, the artist I would like to introduce you all to is called Robbie Boyd. Google him if you want, because his songs are really cool. He sings with an english accent, and his lyrics are amazing. My favourite song is probably Never Never Land, purely because the song is about

Peter Pan! Below are some of his lyrics:

I just want to fly Rings around the moon - Amsterdam

Hearts melt Orion's Belt is always round the corner - Orion's Belt

Your heart of gold has turned Cold with war - Red Queen

I painted your face with the sun And melted your lips with jasper - Dreams of Amber

Grow back your wings And learn to fly
Never never land never gonna be a so called man - Never Never Land
Clocks ticking quickly Underneath the sky

And I'll hold my breath Waiting for your touch And I'm on my knees So baby won't you breathe with me Cause I'm tripping over love - Tripping Over Love

And now to finish, here is an Easter Playlist which I have gradually added to these past days:

Shooting Star - Air Traffic

The Bakery (acoustic version) - Arctic Monkeys

Strawberry Swing - Coldplay

Kingdom Come - Coldplay

See You Soon - Coldplay

Stylo - Gorillaz

Seaside - The Koooks

California Dreaming - The Mamas & The Papas

Hold On To What You Believe - Mumford & Sons

Rocks and Daggers - Noah & The Whale

These Streets - Paolo Nutini

Candy - Paolo Nutini

She Said - Plan B

Orion's Belt - Robbie Boyd

Never Never Land - Robbie Boyd

Magazine Fantasies

Today, I went up to Oxford St with my dad, as we didn't know what else to do. Instead of walking along the whole road, which was ridiculously crowded, we turned off and went down Bond St and all the other little roads near that which I don't know the names of. We only went into Selfridges and Vivienne Westwood. Vivienne Westwood's shop was so beautiful. When we walked past I stopped in the middle of the road and spent about five minutes just staring at the dresses in the window. I was about to walk off when my dad started walking in. Normally, I wouldn't go in a designer shop because I find them slightly intimidating, but the clothes were too pretty. Usually, when I see designer clothes when shopping with my mum, she dosen't let me touch them but my dad did! I could of spent my whole day just stroking the silky lining of that coat....

But the best bit was actually in the magazine section of Selfridges. It is the place to go if you want magazines, because next to the shelves of magazines, they have a copy of almost every magazine out so you can flick through it and even read it if you so choose! Whilst flicking through these magazines, I came across one which I'd never heard of before. It's called 125 and it is 75% editorials and there are hardly any ads and stuff. Here are some pictures from the shoots:
