Festival Fun!

Today was absolutely wonderful. I performed a 30 min acoustic set at ScoutFest, a festival here in North London to raise money for the Scouts! I didn't let the wind nor rain put me off, and I had such a lovely time, not to mention the gorgeous cakes.

My setlist went as follows:

1. Take on me - A-ha (Anni B Goode's version)
2. Birds - Kate Nash
3. Cigarettes - Russian Red
4. Dog Days - Florence & the Machine
5. Thieves - She & Him
6. Neopolitan Dreams - Lisa Mitchell
7. Nobody's Perfect - Jessie J

I had such wonderful feedback from the crowd and just wish I could have performed tonight too! Unfortunately I'm at a family meal but there's always next year.

Many thanks to Andy and the 19th Enfield Scouts for giving me this opportunity! Also to James for being an excellent sound man, with the cutest baby boy going! Keep rocking that Stella McCartney Jacket and those Hunters dude!

Bonjour mon petit pois!

Saturday was an absolutely lovely day. Ok, so the weather wasn't that amazing but Leyla (lalaolandxo) and I  had a lovely day out at Westfield Stratford City, ending in a chill-out session in the park with a good friend of ours. We were both dressed in grey and black, definitely very classy.

It was wonderful spending time with the lovely Leyla and I can't wait until we go again!

Namaste my lovelies!

On Wednesday I went shopping with my Mum, and bought some cute pieces! Mainly from Primark, obviously, but I got a few bits from New Look too!

The weather was gorgeous, as you can see in the photo! So my jacket was a bit pointless really. Nonetheless, I had a lovely day :)

Thirty Things About Me

I've seen this post floating around on a few of my favourite blogs, namely gininateacup and bowtiesarecool so I thought I'd jump on the metaphorical bandwagon!

Afternoon Lovers!

The sun may not be shining as much as it was, but that won't stop me! Today marks the beginning of my one week off from work. Wahoo!! Expect to be seeing a lot more outfit and lifestyle posts!

Today was spent mainly at Matalan with my Mum, as I love the new Papaya Weekend collection, cute midi dresses and skirts galore! Heaven! I shall post a haul in a bit.

This beautiful 50s style dress was my Summer 2012 staple item, and I'd be a fool if I didn't give it a second life!

Dress - Warehouse - £45

Loafers - Clarks - £75 (£13 at Charity shop... You know the drill)

Cardigan - H&M - £9

Love always,

Hearts and Gems and Smelly Cat

Okay. I'll admit it. I'm a serial eBayer. I can't help it, there's so many pretty things, at such pretty prices, I just can't help myself! So when I came across Hearts and Gems jewellery, I just couldn't help myself.

Click to visit their eBay store

Many of their items are described as 'urban', with lots of pieces emblazoned with crosses and tribal patterns, keeping up with the likes of Topshop, River Island and Urban Outfitters.

The main thing that caught my eye were the 'above knuckle rings' that I knew primarily from seeing them on Phoebe from Friends! Now if you know me, you will know that I am basically the real life equivalent of Phoebe, with many of my gigs ending up in a group sing-a-long of 'Smelly Cat'. Yes, really.

So obviously, I needed to have them. I chose one twisted ring and one plain. 2 days later, the little package arrived at my door. Very speedy, considering I bought them on Thursday night and they turned up Saturday morning! They were tied up in a sweet little organza pouch, filled with heart shaped glitter confetti. I squealed. A lot.

Here's how they look on me!

The rings themselves are silver plated, and fit very well. I was initially scared that they would fall off easily, but my worries have been put aside! 

I would highly recommend having a look at their store. The prices are fabulous and the jewellery even more so.
