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!

Fashion East A/W 2013

Fashion East

What: Fashion East A/W 2013

Where: Somerset House, London

When : Monday 18th February 2013

Never is there a more diverse and entertaining show than Fashion East.

A display of utterly whimsical creations from upcoming designers are featured through the non-profit organisation, which was founded in the hope that it would retrieve some of the best designers and thrust their clothes into the spotlight. 

It has surely done just that. Including reams of Elvis Presley, cuddly toys and fish (anyone?), this show was definitely one that would exceed fashion expectations, and give a more carefree expression to the usually serious side of Fashion Week.

What do you think of the creations? I love the outfits with the toy rabbits, how sweet!

Two Door Cinema Club

   

On Thursday, us and three of our friends went to see the AMAZING Two Door Cinema Club!

 Yes, really!

 After getting the tickets last minute, it was a bit of a scramble getting an outfit together that was good enough to impress Alex, Sam and Kevin but we just about managed! 

It was an incredible night, with dance-offs, mosh pits and a topless guy who wanted to recruit 'pointy homies'. 

Plus, we got so RIDICULOUSLY close to the front!

From L-R: Sam Halliday, Alex Trimble and Kevin Baird. Mmm.

Hm. 

Yeah, it ain't even zoomed in honey.

Supporting was Nirvana-esque group Swim Deep and the rather fabulous Bastille. 

Anyway, enjoy these few pictures and videos from the concert!

A pretty bad picture of what I wore, the ladz and from L-R: Beccy, Olivia, Jenn, Emma & Emilia!



I wore a New Look top (£7.99), a New Look Kids soft denim skirt ( £11.99) and a Topshop Chain Necklace ( £14, nabbed it for £7 ;-) )

Olivia wore a Hollister hoodie, Topshop jeans and a white lace top, with some B-EAU-TIFUL Urban Outfitters studded platforms, in the sale for A TENNER. WHAT!?


Only a week til Jake Bugg!

Snow Buddies

Hey! We aren't going to inundate you with our life stories, but we've been out a lot lately so haven't had much time to update! It's snowing like MAD in the UK, so we've been having a lot of snowball fights, like last Friday with the boys for 3 hours, but we TOTALLY won, of course. 

Here's a few photos from the lovely wintery weather!

December Days

Hi there!

           Forgot to post about this, we've both been really busy! 

The other day, I went round my very funny Nanna & Grandad's house with my little brother to have a cosy day in while it was raining outside. I don't think there is quite anything better, and it's a plus that they have the prettiest, nicest & tidiest house I've ever set foot in! 

Here's a few pictures from the day!

Miracle on 34th Street is definitely one of my fave Christmas movies!

I wore a Fuschia Primark Shirt, which was reduced to just £3, a sequined Dorothy Perkins collar, which I bought in last year's sales for £1! (Reduced from £12.50!) and my New Look High Waisted Jeans, £12.99. My rather festive socks were from a small shop in South Shields.

Hope you all had some nice December Days!

Santa Darlin'

Why am I, of all people, doing a nail tutorial? 

   Despite having hundreds of nail varnishes, I normally find doing more intricate designs rather tricky.

 I can't be the only one who goes into a state of frustration and slight despair when that one perfect nail smudges? Annoying, right?

 I wouldn't quite call this a 'tutorial' ( I'll leave that to the pro beauty blogs ) but more of a nail inspiration. Yeah, I like that better. So out my lil Santa-style nails!

I tend to use this Bambi Sandalwood Hand Cream before painting my nails as it keeps them moisturised and easier to coat, but I use it every day too. It was only £1.99 from H&M, which is completely worth it as it smells DELICIOUS!

I also use a buffer block before applying two coats of Rimmel Movie Star Red, but only painting one third of the ring finger.

Once that has dried, if you don't have proper nail gear like me, use a hair grip to dip in the white nail varnish ( I'm using Calvin Klein) to dot along underneath the red on the ring finger to create the fluff on Santy's hat!

After all of your nails are looking festively fab, use a glossy top coat, like Avon Top Coat, to make sure your design doesn't smudge and stays sassy all week long!

Hope you enjoyed this 'nail inspiration' and have fun trying it out!

Ho Ho Ho

P.S. Check out these two amazing Geordie lasses ( girls from Newcastle ) with their cover of Santa Baby! I love it haha! Xo

Rizzle Kicks!

        Rizzle Kicks

Sorry for the rather late update as we've been rather busy, but on Saturday 1st December, we went to see... Rizzle Kicks! Apart from being squished within an inch  of other so-called 'ravers' in the middle of a mosh-pit, and being covered in not the nicest of substances, it was one of the wildest, loudest and funniest concerts we've ever been to! 













We had spent the first part of the day in Newcastle, dressing up in Topshop and going for a Chinese ( don't eat banana pancakes ) and Starbucks. We queued outside, being the dedicated fans we are, and managed to squeeze our way to the front of the stage, without being trampled on! Harley and Jordan looked as beautiful as ever, and played all of the songs from their album, plus some of their remixes, including their duet with Ed Sheeran! That made us HAPPY. 









Supporting them was Little Nikki, who used to be in UK band Soundgirl, who I seen when they supported Pixie Lott in 2010. She is now a solo singer/rapper and you should DEFINITELY check her out! She wore a bodycon skeleton dress, which is from Topshop for £50. 

Their other support act was upcoming rapper Mikill Pane (pronounced Michael...but we're gonna call him Mikill ). He is destined to be big, and was even drinking on stage! We got  lucky and met him outside after the gig, and got his autograph on the back of our tickets! Wowza! We don't have any proper pictures of our outfits, but we do have our sassy pictures in Topshop :-)

Here's the videos (they most definitely aren't perfect!)

This one's not ours! Mikill Pane:

After the concert, we had a sleepover at Olivia's, and had cheesy nachos for our breakfast and went on Take That and High School Musical Sing Star. Righteous. We couldn't take any pictures because I had a Mikill Pane tattoo in the middle of my forehead. Not righteous. 

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the videos and we'll talk to you later!

Love you all, 

  R & O xo.

Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung, former British model, TV presenter and at just 29 years old she is definitely one of the UK's biggest fashion influences to this day!

Style Crush ♥

At the age of 16, she was scouted by a modelling agency while in the comedy tent at reading festival.  Chung was then taken on by a London based agency called; Storm Model Management and began to work for multiple teen magazines such as Elle Girl and CosmoGIRL! Not only has she modeled she has also worked for companies such as Fanta, Urban Outfitters, Sony Ericsson, Sunsilk and Tampax and has featured in music videos produced by The Streets, Westlife, Delta Goodrem, Reuben and Holly Valance. She also stared as 'Jake' in a reality TV show broadcasted on Fashion TV called 'Shoot Me' in 2005.

After four years in the modeling world, she decided to go a different direction and set off with the intention of beginning an art foundation or becoming a fashion journalist (Just like me and Becky!) However, after becoming a TV personality, she returned back to her modeling days and became the face of  Australian fashion label called Antipodium's SS 2008 collection and Oxfams ethical fashion range, Revamped. In 2009, Alexa strutted down the catwalk as part of the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring/Summer show at London Fashion Week.

Through a course of 3-5 years, Alexa has found herself becoming the face of many well known high street shops like New Look, Next, Lacoste and many more! She has also moved on to a new modeling agency; Select Model Management and taken part in London Fashion Week 2012 with Stella McCartney. 

With her shoulder length brown waves and her famous winged liner, and not to mention her AMAZING fashion style, Alexa is one of my favorite people to get inspiration for a 'new' look.

She can put two of the most clashing items together and make it work. Plus many of her outfits are very 60's and unusual to today's eye which is one of the things I love about her! I mean, leopard print and stripes? I would never be so daring! Not only does she go for daring prints, she also goes for big statement jewelry like huge chunky necklaces and an array of coloured gem rings.

In many of her outfits, she never seems to wear heels but I think that's one of the things I love about her. She doesn't need 6 inch glittery heels to make her style 'look good'. She seems quite happy with a pair of oxfords or boots teamed with a thrilling outfit. (Seriously wish I could see her wardrobe, I'll be like a kid in a sweet shop!)

She also dated the magnificent and so god damn beautiful Arctic Monkey's front man, Alex Turner. Well jel!

  

Here are some of my Alexa Chung inspired outfits!
