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!

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!

Another update for y'all!

Hey guys! Me and Rebecca are so sorry we haven't updated anything HUGE in a while but please bare with us! We had no time at all last weekend to do our photoshoot or do a video tutorial on a hair style (thank you very much for all your votes by the way!) As we've been super busy! On Saturday we were in town ALL DAY as mother and father were Christmas shopping (EXCITED!) and we had Rizzle Kicks in the night time and Sunday we played on Sims and singstar hahaha!

     Anyway m'loves, we cross our hearts and hope to die that there will be big things coming up in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out :-) moving on, we would like to know what hairstyle you want us to do? Is there anything you're just struggling with and you need some help from your favorite bloggers in this history of blogger people? Please comment below exactly what you wanted us to do and maybe even give us a sneaky suggestion on what you would like to see next on Ro Ro?

Have a lovely Christmas! Lots of love R and O x

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.

Ed Sheeran

       As you all know, us ( Becca & Olivia) and a couple of our friends ( KT & Hannah) went to see the almighty ginger sex god, Ed Sheeran! Honestly, hands on our heart, it was by far one of the BEST concerts we've ever been to! We were even 2nd row from the front! How good is that!?

He started off with his new hit single, 'Give Me Love' which is the last song to be produced from his debut album,  +. He is absolutely amazing live and we are so glad we got to see him! 


   His set was a constant flow of beautiful melodies, many which sounded even BETTER live than on his EP's. He always had one of his four trusty guitars in tow, and was BEAT-BOXING ( once in a lifetime experience that is, mind).

  His support acts were Passenger ( our main man Mike ) and Foy Advance, who were both incredibly talented and surprisingly unsigned. You should definitely check them out! 

  My ( Becca ) favourite song of the night was most definitely one of his most popular hits ' You Need Me, I Don't Need You', which lasted a WHOPPING 12 minutes! And he didn't go a note out of tune, even when he was jumping on top of the speakers right next to us ( swoon..) !

  He even asked the audience to be remotely quiet for a couple of songs by saying "If you love me, you'll be quiet.", which made Olivia practically melt! This ensued a few "WE LOVE YOU ED!" shrieks (who, us...) but it was such an amazing experience to see the entire City Hall succumb to silence to just listen to his heavenly voice.

  Dressed in a modest cartoon 'Flipper' t-shirt and raggy jeans, he was far from a Nicki Minaj-style concert with all of the constant costume revamps and extravagant staging, it was simply just him, and a 'mirror wall', where you could see the gig from his point of view, which we thought was really cool, especially when everyone was waving their phone lights!

We were DEVASTATED when he walked off after his two hour set, as was everyone else. We did make buddies with his stage handy-man Trevor though. What a guy.

 Here's a quick view of what we wore to the gig, and also take a look at the videos! And we are NOT in    anyway singing superstars. Just putting it out there. :-)

What Becca wore:

Okay, so this picture is pretty terrible, but bear in mind it was 1am and I already had that post-concert depression feeling creeping up on me ( worst feeling EVER in my opinion). I wore this tartan dress ( in age 10-11 D:) from the kids section in New Look, which was only £12.99, which is a bargain, considering tartan is apparently going to be 'big' this season and my trusty old leather jacket which I've had for 5 years! (M&S, don't even remember!). I wore some black suede wedges ( also from New Look, £25.00) which I got as a Christmas present last year. 

Jewellery-wise, I wore my Ed Sheeran bracelets and a glow-stick band we all got off Olivia's mam! I also wore my swallow bird earrings ( River Island, £1.50 ) and my fave golden heart pendant ( Accessorize, £5.00 ).  

We all drew black 'Sheeran' paws on our hand in permanent marker, which turned out to be a pretty big mistake, as it didn't come off for four days!

From Left to Right : Hannah, Becca, Olivia & KT! Aw.

Our Ed inspired nail art! From clockwise top: Olivia, Hannah, Becca & KT!

What Olivia wore:

Hey guys! So, I got this outfit ESPECIALLY for the beautiful ginger sex god (wink ;-)) and it consisted of a sheer black dress from H&M with a pleather peter pan colar £29.99, my gorgeous denim jacket with fur lining from Top Shop £55 (expensive I know! You can probably find cheeper versions elsewhere so look around before you choose to buy!) my creeper style shoes from Top Shop which were originally a wopping £65 but I got them in the sale for £10! How good is that!? Last but not least, I wore my trusty gold buckle ring that I wear 

EVERYDAY! Never take it off :-) 

and my Ed Sheeran jewellry. (Rebecca got me one of these bracelets for my birthday last year so we are matching! How cute!?)

Here's some videos from the gig, which were taken on Becca's phone!

Nicki Minaj

On Thursday, I went to see one of the most kooky, crazy and controversial stars of this generation.

NICKI MINAJ.

I was so excited to go and see her, and the concert certainly exceeded my expectations! Throughout several outfit changes and wig transformations, each one as blindingly bright as the other, and special appearances from Tyga and Misha B, Nicki put on a great show, that left our friend Hannah and I with literally no voice! 

 During the concert, I was amazed at how the rapper didn't seem to care what anyone thought of her ( have you SEEN her feisty argument with fellow American Idol co-star Mariah Carey!?) and wore what best expressed her vibrant personality. 

Always being judged for what she does, wears and says, Nicki, real name Onika Maraj, is seemingly oblivious to criticism, and just goes with her decisions and what SHE wants to do.

Below are some of Nicki's rather 'out-there' combinations, which shows that we should all try taking a risk with our clothing choices, instead of sticking to the trends and banishing what we would normally deem as too egotistical.

So go get your SUPER BASS on!

P.S. Here's a small glimpse of what I wore to the concert, minus my bright red lipstick and diamond gems on my face. Interesting.
