A Day in Camden....

A couple of Saturday's ago, my friends and I, Nikki and Georgia, took a wee trip to Camden!

We went mainly to see one of our favourite bands, Lilygreen and Maguire, perform at Dingwalls, Camden, so we decided that we should make a day of it and explore the wonders that are: Camden market. 

The best Chinese ever  

Lilygreen and Maguire were amazing as usual, it's crazy seeing how far they have come in two years. From supporting Olly Murs on his tour in 2012, to having their own tour now. Their fan base have grown and so have their careers, I cannot wait to see how far they can make it, and I will be there every step of the way :')

I had an incredible day in Camden, and experienced the London Tube first time on my own with friends!

I really hope I can come back another time soon, I really love the atmosphere and whole individuality of the place. One thing on my bucket list ticked off :)

If you haven't heard of Lilygreen and Maguire before, check out their music on YouTube here

Cats and Carbonara Tour - Nina Nesbitt

Last month I was lucky enough to go to Nina Nesbitt's gig in Brighton, The Haunt.

I heard about Nina's music through the weekly free music given away on Itunes about two years ago and ever since I have been constantly listening to her EPs and YouTube music videos. So when I saw that she was playing in Brighton, close to where I live, I text my friend, who also enjoys her music, and thought 'Let's go!?'

Her Scottish roots and earthy voice is somewhat refreshing to hear after the revolution of pop music these days, consisting of club tracks and collaborations that rely on popularity and not the vocals or the meaning behind the lyrics. 

Her whole aura and personality is so very likeable and she made it feel like we were all one family, I guess I felt very welcomed :) She gave out sweets to the crowd as she thought we may be hungry and she was just so lovely.

I had the most amazing night and it probably was one of the best gigs I have been to! 

If you haven't heard of Nina or her music before.

Book Review: The fault in our stars

Wow this book...I cannot explain to you how moved I am after reading this. I mean...emotionally, it has ruined me.

If you've read this book, you'll know where I am coming from....

(I won't give too much away for anyone wanting to read it.)

The deep concept of a 16 year old girl, the same age as myself, going through such a chronic disease, Cancer, was heart wrenching to say the least. The utter compassion and motivation of this young girl, Hazel, made me truly realise how I, a member of many of the 'young generation' club, should appreciation the littlest things in life and be grateful for our bodies and lives being relatively normal. 

In the novel, it explains that Hazel began her fight with  Cancer in her early teens, a time where any normal teenage girl should be out with friends, enjoying life. At the age I am now, I am eager to begin my life away from home and in a way I am kind of  wishing my teenage years away for the feel of adult life and I guess a bit of freedom. So to read about a teenage girl not being able to live her teenage years like the rest of us due to the disease is heart breaking. But then there is me, wanting a life beyond the teenage years and this kind of made me feel guilty. 

The emotional roller coaster developed within the novel is so gripping and I literally couldn't put the book down! I managed to read half of it on the way back from Spain and I have only just finished it today. Three days to read a book is a pretty good achievement for me, so it shows this. book. is. something.

So if you haven't already read this book, I HIGHLY recommend you do. It literally gives you a different perspective on life.

(WARNING: You may suffer emotionally)

Holiday Haul

Hello there lovely people!

Sorry for the lack of posts but I have literally just got back from holiday in Spain! (yay for the sun) Yeah...England is pretty naff compared to be honest...But I love it here, I am quite patriotic :)

So! When I was away I may have bought a few things?...the markets there are amazing and you can get some really amazing things for pretty reasonable prices.

So I thought I would show you all some of the things I got!

Cosmetics

I may have got a wee bit obsessed of buying nail varnishes whilst on holiday. But they're like 90 cence so and that's like 70p so you can't go wrong!

(None of the nail varnishes had names so I'm going to be imaginative for you)

Baby Blue

Duck Egg Blue

Deep Sea 

Lavender

Mauve

Pink Candy

Sunflower

Jewellery

In the past I have not really been a 'jewellery lover' but recently I have wanted to buy more and kind of 'force' myself to wear some and not be as boring.

I purchased this watch from the Spainish market for 10 euros. I have always wanted a rose gold watch and have been put of from the prices so this was ideal! Yes it is fake but it's functional right? I love it. 

I got this beaded bracelet also from the Spainish Market for 3 euros. I liked the exotic, summery colours and it was different from most bracelets I have seen. 

I got this 'Grecian' style necklace from the Spainish Market for 8 euros. I love the pattern engraved on the necklace, it gives an 'aztec' feel to it. I also love the shape and size of it, very different from the long necklaces I normally purchase.

I got this bird ring from the Spainish Primark in the sale for 1 euro! Bargin! It's a bit big for my fingers but it can be used as a thumb ring...I can make it work :)

I got this long skull necklace also from the Spainish Primark for 1 euro! I love it.

I got this feather necklace also from the Spanish Primark for 3 euros with a pair of feather earrings. The clasp is unfortunately broken so will have to fix it before wearing it :(

Clothing

I normally don't really buy clothes abroad at markets etc because there is nowhere really to try items on to see if they fit. But I took a gamble...

I got these coral floral shorts from a market for 9 euros. I was dubious at first whether they would fit or suit me but when I tried them on to wear out for dinner in Spain, I loved them! They are mega comfy and I love the coral colour.

I got this tiger, paisley designed tank top from Primark for like 4 euros. If you know me, you know I love animals and especially tigers. I also love this hippie type design and it goes really nicely with demin shorts or even skinny jeans. I love it.

I got this Minnie mouse jumper from Primark in the sale for 7 euros. I LOVE my jumpers, especially unusual ones and I literally fell in love with this one. I am a HUGE Disney fan to say the least and well..this is meant to be a pyjama top but to be honest, I may just wear it for casual wear :) 

I got these thumper pyjama bottoms from Primark also for around 8 euros. I LOVE thumper and the movie Bambi so these were ideal for me. They are so comfy! and they tighten at the ankles which I love. 

Pyjama'd up

Sooo! That is basically everything that I bought on holiday to share with you guys!

I hope you like this post of my 'holiday haul' and let me know if you would like me to do any more hauls in the future!

Please follow and comment if you have any questions or requests for posts I could do!

P.S I am going to start being more regular in my post updates so watch this space! :) 

That is all from me today! Have a good day now, farewell chums!
