Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg

This probably should have been posted a while back, considering the concert was on the 5th of February, but us two and four other friends, Megan, Jennifer, Emilia and KT    

(typicalteenagegirl101.blogspot.com) went to see Jake Bugg! 

 He is absolutely incredible live, and one of the most down to earth musicians in the industry. 

Jake is credited for his comparisons to the likes of Bob Dylan and The Stone Roses, and for bringing a new era of music to the otherwise currently dowdy charts.

 He performed an amazing set, even coming on for an encore to sing big hit Lightning Bolt, cue wild dancing and urine throwing. 

Not one to hold his tongue, Jake has recently slammed One Direction multiple times, and criticized the Brits acts as 'awful', but I think it's great that he isn't afraid to be brutally honest, and that he still remains the lad from the council estate in Clifton. 

We seriously annoyed the people behind us because of our enraged screaming and 'raving', but wotev. The support acts, Hudson Taylor and Little Green Cars, are also worth a listen too! 

f you're considering going to see him, GO. That's the only advice we can give really!

We Love...Taylor!

                                           

Style Crush♥

Taylor Swift,aged 22, is an American country singer and songwriter originally from Pennsylvania. Taylor grew up living on a Christmas tree farm, whilst learning to horse ride and attending a theatre school.

 Taylor has long been one of my favourite artists, partly because of her down-to-earth personality, and, of course, amazing voice.

I have recently admired her for her fashion sense, and her knack for creating a simple, yet extremely cute outfit.

 The superstar always has a retro vibe to her style, and is rarely seen without her signature slick of red lipstick.

Always perfectly groomed, Taylor looks like she could have just walked out of the set of 'Bye Bye Birdie'. Now that isn't your average country star.

Florals, brights, sequins, you name it, Taylor has worn it. 

From her old Hollywood glamour red carpet looks, to her Autumn 'duffle coat and beanie' combo, Miss Swift has THAT something that keeps her fresh, and not decadent, like the 50's fashions she wears.

Often getting critical disclaim for her constant love songs about the several famous faces she has dated, Taylor, frankly, doesn't give a DAMN, and carries on singing about what she is passionate about, which I find very inspiring to listen to someone who genuinely cares about what she writes and performs.

 And, just to prove these critics wrong, Taylor has won a UNBELIEVABLE 119 awards in the past few years! GOLLY GOSH!

Taylor usually sticks to a natural, earthy pallette for her pieces, only bringing out her bold hues for awards shows and events, and accessorizes with minimal make-up ( a natural, pale base, a dark feline flick of eyeliner and THE matte red lip) and her beautiful blonde hair, either in her mass of ringlets, or poker straight. 

As you can tell from this picture, Taylor's style has evolved from your average country sweetheart to something we'd like to call 'Oxford Chic Glamour Queen'. Hm, I think it will catch on.

We ♥ Taylor!

P.S. Here's a picture of the signed Red CD ( her newly released album)! It is such a good album, I don't think there is a bad song on it!

Jake Bugg

Have you heard of Jake Bugg? No? I suggest you go listen to him right. now. Seriously. His voice, his style, his face... he's beautiful. At just 18 he's becoming a huge success in the music industry and me and Rebecca literally can't be more excited! I first heard him playing backstage at one of England's biggest festivals with Fearne Cotton and Greg James. He performed his first single 'Lightning Bolt' acoustically and by George it was perfect. Ever since then, we both have been obsessed with him. (Not in a creepy way, don't worry ;-))


His voice is very country/rock and it's something I've rarely heard in today's music and to be honest, it is a great addition! He grew up in the Clifton area of Nottingham and began playing the guitar at the age of 12. He has been chosen to perform on many BBC radio and TV shows like 'Later... with Jules Holland' and BBC radio 6's music programme.

His style, to sum it up, is probably best to describe as a spin off of Noel Gallagher. With his dark skinny jeans, zip up parka jacket and always a lit cigarette in his hand. Here are some Jake Bugg inspired outfits. (For Girls.)



If you want to listen to him, here is a link to one of my favorite songs by him. It's a little number called 'Taste It'
