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!

People's Choice Awards 2013

What: People's Choice Awards

When: Wednesday 11th January 2013

Where: Nokia Theatre, L.A

Awards Season is here (woohoo!) and we LOVE IT. With the Golden Globes tonight and The Brits, The Grammys and The Oscars in February, we can't wait to see all the starlets flaunting their designer gowns down the red carpet! 

Expect full coverage on the fashion side right here! Here's a selection of dresses from the People's Choice Awards from Wednesday night, which allows the public to fully decide who wins each award- and there was over 50 of them! 

The odds were most definitely in Jennifer Lawrence's favour, as she took home 6 awards, and 'Hot or Cold' singer Katy Perry received 4! 

What do you think of the selection of gowns?

Olivia Munn in Carolina Herrera, Jennifer Lawrence in Valentino Couture & Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang and Jimmy Choos.

Shay Mitchell in Giorgio Armani and Jimmy Choos, Lea Michele in Elie Saab & Ashley Rickards in an embellished nude gown.

Katy Perry in Valentino and Jimmy Choos, Julianne Hough wore a Tony Ward Couture dress and Giuseppi Zanotti heels and Jennifer Aniston in Dior and Tom Ford heels.

Chloe-Grace Moretz in a Simon Rocha dress and Casedai heels, socialite Paris Hilton wore a daring print dress and Rachel Leigh Cook wore a beautiful Oliver Tarentino dress.

Emma Watson in a Peter Piloto dress and Tabitha Simmons heels, hostess Kaley Cuoco in one of the five dresses she wore that night and Morena Backerin in Donna Karan


The most surprising look of the night was newly-single Taylor Swift, who rocked up in a deep v-neck Ralph Lauren Collection dress and Louboutin heels. Look what you're missing, Harry!




Can't wait for the next awards show!

December

I found this somewhere on Tumblr, and I think it is really sweet.

If you've fallen out with anyone, or wanted to accomplish a goal by the end of the year, there's still 9 days left of 2012, so make the most of it! 

I've had one of the best years ever, and I hope you have too!

Merry December!

Christmas Wishes,

It Ain't The End of the World

Hey guys! Everyone still alive? Good stuff.

     

We've had a great day today, and it's just an extra that its now officially the CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS! 

(insert celebratory twerk here)

2 whole weeks of freedom! Anyway, it was great giving people their presents, and everyone was in such a good mood today! 

The only downside was saying goodbye to our good friend who is moving to the other side of the world :-( 

It made us appreciate how many AMAZING friends we have, and that we should never take anyone for granted. 

Here's a video of us after school singing the one and only Mariah Carey classic (fab,right?):

Hope you are all in the festive spirit too!

Pretty appropriate right now:

The Top 10 Things Needed For A Warm Winter!

Do you love Christmas as much as I do? Because it's by far my fave time of the year! I love the chilly weather nipping at your nose (and who could forget the snow!? It's not Christmas until everything's covered in snow!), everybody's homes decorated in elaborate flashing lights and Christmas trees on display in the front window. And of course, all the food that comes with it ;-) But I think my favorite part of Christmas is definitely Christmas Eve. The excitement you get from the moment you wake up on the 24th of December to the minute you fall asleep. I mean I'm 15 and I know I'm not the only one who gets excited! Me and my family have this tradition that we do ever year. We go to a restaurant and have a deliciously cooked meal, then we venture out to the flicks to see a film (my dad and brother are probably going to see the hobbit and me and my mam find that stuff waaaaaay too confusing so I think Nativity 2 is on the cards!), by this time it's pretty late so we drive back home, have a cup of tea and some crumpets, put on our new pajamas that 'Santa's Elves' have sent for us and go to bed. Does anyone else have traditions they do every year?

For the perfect Christmas here are my top ten things needed for a warm winter!Plenty of Decorations - Can't go wrong with a bit of lights and baubles!

1. Blankets! - Those really furry soft ones that are perfect for wrapping up in when you're watching a Christmas movie.

2. Christmas songs - Yeah, I know the same songs that are played every year do get a bit boring but it's not Christmas unless you have those cheesy tunes ringing out in the back ground.

3. HOT CHOCOLATE - You can't go wrong with a bit of chocolate... that's hot. Topped with whipped cream and marshmallows, p-e-r-f-e-c-t. It also goes great with the warm blankets and the Christmas movies.

4. Christmas Sweaters - I mean, how could you not possibly own a Christmas jumper? They're perfect for chucking on when it's cold and snowing outside and you're warm and toasty inside (with your hot chocolate and blankets of course!) Read Rebecca's post about ugly Christmas sweaters that actually aren't that, well...ugly.

5. Hat, Scarfs and Gloves - Can't go wrong with a matching set? Read my post about some of my favorite Winter accessories that will go perfect with any outfit!

6. CHRISTMAS MOVIES! - There's no joy in Christmas without the films to go with it? Some of my favorites definitely have to be: Elf, Polar Express and Nativity.

7. Fuzzy Socks - When December rolls around, the socks come out! Even if it's not Christmas, I still wear the socks... I live in England where it's basically winter all year so it's allowed.

8. Candles - Just going to come out with this... I'm a HUGE lover of candles like seriously. Especially Yankee Candle. It's just the assortment of scents that could literally make you melt. Vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread, Frankincense and Mur (My mam had this candle yesterday it was so so so nice!)

9. Buying Presents - I absolutely love going out and shopping for friends and family! When they open the gift that you carefully wrapped with you're favorite paper you got them and just seeing their face light up is one of the best parts of Christmas. Sharing is caring guys!

Last but not least, Christmas Cheer! - Cheesy, I know but when every one is all happy and laughing and excited for Christmas it just makes me happy and even more excited! You know, having snow ball fights with your friends in the school field sliding all over the ice! Making gingerbread houses and just generally having the time of your life. Just let your hair down and have a great winter!

Children in Need 2012

On Friday 16th November, it was BBC's Children in Need Day!

Children in Need is a UK charity, founded by the BBC, which originally began in 1980.

Olivia and I on CID Day, looking sassy

It raises MILLIONS and MILLIONS every year to aid disadvantaged and ill children, and, in total, has raised an unbelievable

£600million

in the past 32 years!

At our school, we had a non-uniform day to raise money, where every student has to bring in £1 as a donation, which already brings the total to over £1000!

I made some crispy cakes with my brother to sell at my dad's work and raised £11.20 (every little helps!).

Pudsey Bear is the leading mascot for Children in Need, and is always emblazoned on all of the fundraising merchandise and promotions. He had quite a transformation in 2007, when the old logo, used from 1986 to 2006, was abolished to make way for the current logo, a brighter, more computerized bear. Sorry, old Pudsey!

                             Here's Olivia, me (ew haha) and our friend Hannah on CIN Day

Not to mention, 32 of the most recognised fashion designers of the WORLD ( think Prada, Louis Vuitton & Gucci..EEP!) teamed together to help raise money for Children in Need by individually creating their own interpretation of Pudsey! Stitched in leather, Swarovzki crystals and patterned velvet, these bears are so stylish, it hurts. My favourites were definitely the Victoria Beckham, Alexander McQueen and LOEWE bears! Too cute!  Plus, 19 of the bears raised over £152,000! 

As if it could GET any better, here's a clip of the rather wonderful One Direction singing their new single, Little Things, on Children in Need!

Hope you raised LOTS for the SPOTS!

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!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween 2012

 Kate Moss as a Vampiress, Gwen Stefani as Grease's Sandy, and Chloe Grace-Moretz as Harry Potter's Bellatrix Lestrange

Much to our disappointment, Halloween is dead and buried for another year, so it's time to put your inner ghoul to rest. 

Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj and her friend as a Toddlers & Tiaras paegant queen, and Robert Pattinson as....we're not really sure.

Despite this, we were more than impressed with the efforts put in by the famous faces. To my surprise, there weren't masses of 'sexy kittens' or clads of short-skirted pirates, but in fact many creative, and SCARILY good ideas! 

Ashley Tisdale as Batwoman, and Ashley Benson & Shay Mitchell as Tweedledee and Austin Powers' Foxxy Cleopatra

From Halloween parties, to trick or treating around their neighbourhood, these celebrities really went all out!

Elle Fanning as the Statue of Liberty, and P Diddy as Prince

Many starlets were attending infamous gossip blogger Just Jared's Halloween bash, who dressed as the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland (yes,really!).

 Featured are One Direction's Zayn Malik & Louis Tomlinson as Kiss band members, Jessica Alba, her husband Cash Warren and daughter Honor as The Incredibles, and the rather wonderful Ed Sheeran as horror film royalty, Chucky.

Lucy Hale as a magical unicorn, Kim Kardashian as the mermaid from Splash, and Sharon Osbourne as the Queen of Hearts.

Lauren Conrad as Mary Poppins, and Sarah Hyland as Spinelli from Recess!

My favourite costume is...

Katy Perry & friend as Jane Lane and Daria!

Dressing up as the stars of hit 90's MTV show, Daria, was totally original and they were INSTANTLY recognised when they attended a Halloween party in L.A. She is never one for shying away from dressing up anyway!

And another outfit that was particularly AMAZING was Ellen DeGeneres  as Sofia Vergara! She even cut a slit down the back, revealing a fake butt, referring back to Vergara's embarrasing dress-ripping incident at this year's Emmy Awards!

And here's my outfit! A last minute Minnie Mouse and my friend as Aria from Pretty Little Liars!

Hope you all had a HAUNTING HALLOWEEN!
