April Outfit Wishlist

Totally in love with the paisley shift dress from Urban Outfitters!

Life Update

It's nearly the end of another term at uni (scary!), so I'm running out of my loan. My lovely housemate and I finally found a flat for next year, which is amazing! So excited, but it does mean that the rest of my loan is assigned to the deposit.

Of course, whenever I don't have any money I totally crave a shopping spree (is that just me?). So I thought I'd do a wishlist to help satisfy my craving. Window shopping is almost as good, right?

How to...dress like The Strypes

While writing an exhibition review for uni the other day, I was listening to Spotify. I had the Radio 1 Playlist on and came across the band, The Strypes!

These guys rock, literally! I'm a big fan of The Stones (going to see them in Hyde Park in July! So excited!), and The Strypes have a similar 60's rhythm and blues vibe. This Irish Quartet have signed to Sir Elton John's Rocket Music management company and are even playing at Glasto. 

But if this isn't impressive enough, these boys haven't even finished high school! The youngest is just 15 years old! I'm predicting big things from them! Their first single Blue Collar Jane is super catchy, check it out here.

Really loving their sixties, mod style. I'd describe it as a cross between The Stones and Oasis, with skinny jeans, blazers, crisp collars and dark sunglasses. 

Here's what to wear to one of their gigs: 

Really hope they'll be playing a gig near me soon!

Have you been listening to any great new bands recently?

Best Of...River Island

It was me and my boyfriend's two year anniversary this weekend, so we went to Cambridge for a couple of days. We had a really lovely time, despite the bitterly cold weather (I thought it was nearly April!).

While having a look around the shops, we came across River Island Boutique. I'd never seen one before, but I was really impressed. It was designed in a slightly more upmarket way to normal River Island stores, and they had some stock that I hadn't seen before too.

I thought I'd do a little Best Of...selection for you readers. Something without all the Rihanna stuff that they are promoting at the moment! So, here's my Best Of...River Island:
