Life Update!

Sorry about my lack of blogging over the summer, I was so busy that blogging took a bit of a backseat!

This summer I was interning at Velvet Magazine in Newmarket which I absolutely loved! I'm already looking forward to going back at Christmas time! I was helping to write articles and was involved with the behind-the-scenes of their fashion show!

Here are a few photos of the show:

The clothes were loaned to us from local boutiques, the hair was done by the TONI & GUY team fresh from London Fashion Week and their were even pop up shops for people to enjoy before the show started. Check out a highlights video here. 

I went to Bestival with my boyfriend. I won tickets through a competition with Elle magazine which was amazing and so lucky! I saw my favourite band EVER, Franz Ferdinand and also The Strypes who are so talented even though they are so young. We also watched quite a lot of spoken word poetry which I'd never listened too before but was really interesting and engaging.

We also went to see Jimmy Carr which was hilarious!

So, now back to uni for my third and final year! Can't believe it! I'm worried about how much work it's going to be, but I've got to the point where I just want to get on with it!

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?
