septembers here.

well its been a while, hope you've all enjoyed your summer holidays. I'm pretty sad its coming to an end, friends are off to uni and the second year of college is surely louring over me. (I'm only dreading it because i haven't even started my summer brief!)
If your wondering why i haven't been posting at all these past months its mainly because, my Internet has been broke, I've been living without it for the past 3-4 months, and now its back i can't get enough, I'm back to my old cyber geek self! so look forward to hearing from me more, I've have lots to share about projects I'm doing or plans i have.
I guess you could say I've been busy these past months, I've recently just got back from Leeds festival, which was amazing and am still amazed with how quick it came around as if you remember my first post was about Leeds and how excited i was and this was like 6 months ago. I had such an amazing time with the girls Amy and Emily and heather, i was drunk 87% of the time, crowed surfed, saw some amazing bands, smelt and witnessed the worst toilets ever! and managed to survive over 10 mosh pits. I've got some photo's to share with you too. I did manage to make to time for the dinosaur exhibition, it was ace! hope some of you guys got to make it! Me and Emily took a little vacation to Devon, it was so so so nice to get away! I've also started driving lessons I've had about 10 so far and its coming along nicely! I've just put in for my theory test so fingers crossed for that!
what else is there!? oh yeah me and Emily are helping out some guys from Nottingham promote there new company no name required, as of yet I'm not sure whats happening with that or when the launch is but all i know me and Emily did a photo shoot for them and are going to appear on t shirts to help promote it! how cool is that!? I'll show you some of the photo's from that too!

So Septembers here, the autumn winter collections are hitting the shops. Am i the only person that is happy about this, while i was in Leeds i bought two sheepskin coats for 20 quid and I've seen ones on the Topshop website for quadruple that!
also new season means new projects, this time it's royal blue. we're back to the strict colour scheme and everything royal so I'll keep you posted on that!
Anyway I'll try and keep this going now my life is back! i guess i just needed a break which has done me good, a lot has changed over the past few months and definitely for the better!

Hippy isnt the word

Leather Summer.

So when i eventually have money, i will be buying leather shorts, particularly high waisted ones. I know what your thinking leather shorts?! But believe it or not they're everywhere this summer, I've tried my luck in vintage shops for them, and have found some on eBay vintage rocket shorts, they're ace, but i always forget I'm watching them and miss out!
Asos have some pretty cool ones, they come in grey and black with a laser cut patter at the bottom of the shorts, as far as I'm aware they only have the grey one's on asos.com retailed at £55. But if you don't fancy paying that much for a cow, then try looking at vintage and charity shops, which is probably what I'll be doing, i think these ones below will be a last resort, i really want some to wear when i go Leeds's festival! (which reminds me i need to book my holiday off for that!)

Another shop that is getting with the trends is Zara, they're also donning high waisted leather shorts but in brown, they look exactly like the ones in Chloe's spring/summer 2010 collection!

I think Whitney from the hills, is a perfect example of why you should, buy your own pair of leathers! They go with everything, blouse's, shirts, old band t-shirts, Blazers... i mean i could go on!

Weekend Record

I'm going to try and start giving little reviews of bands, music and albums that i like and that are new, once a month. So to start with I'm going to share one of my new favourite bands with you, They're called Two Door Cinema Club, originally from Bangor in Northen Ireland and are like a mix between vampire weekend, Phoenix and Bombay Bicycle Club, so if you like any of those bands I'm sure you'll love them! Two door Cinema Club have recently just released there new album called Tourist History, which have promising hits such as Undercover Martyn, Something Good Can Work (which is due to be released as their new single and one of my favourites) and I Can Talk, their sound is unbelievably catchy and have that upbeat tempo that just shouts summer. I'm really pleased that these guys aren't just one hit wonders, they're very talented boys and am mega excited that they will be playing at Leeds Festival this year!
Don't worry if your not going to Leeds this year, you can always see these amazing guys at your local 02 Academy, later on this year.


Anyway I'll leave you with this brilliant video, its TDCC new song Something Good Can Work, which is available to download now! Hope you like it!







Next Thursday, i will be heading down to the Hare And Hounds in Mosley to check out another new favourite of mine Darwin Deeze from New York, he has amazing hair! Oh and that moustache! Any of you who fancy it, check out the Hare And Hounds website for ticket info!

What i'll be doing this summer.

I'm really excited about this year, because I'm going to my first ever... yes first ever! festival at Leeds! I have to admit i was slightly put off when i saw who was headlining but i was soon persuaded by the likes of The Cribs, Mumford and Sons, Delphic, The Maccabees, The Libertines, Phoenix, Lcd Soundsystem, Klaxsons, Foals, Biffy Clyro, The Drums, The Big Pink, Paramore (Gasp for breath) and there's still more yet to be annouced later on. If the line up this year is anything like the past ones, i think i may wee myself, I'm just praying for vampire weekend and seriously good weather. I can't tell you how excited i am, I've already started planning my summer outfits! For those of you who were also lucky enough to get a ticket i shall see you there!
