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!

Take A Walk




Hey everybody!


The updates on our blog are pretty bad, but we've literally been out with friends everyday for the past month, so its hard to find the time! 
We're very happy at the moment, but this isn't exactly a personal blog so we won't dwindle on it! 







On Monday, we went with our BFF KT ( of typicalteenagegirl101.blogspot.co.uk) to Olivia's house for one of our fabulously AMAZING girly days!


 It's always a guaranteed good time, and we watched Harry Potter and ate a lot of junk :) We listened to some fab music, painted our nails and then went on a really REALLY good walk through the fields while the sun was setting, because we're cute little tings. 



African dancing with horses is surprisingly uplifting. We've found a new 'spot' which is our secret spot, but we can't tell you where it is, just incase you manage to find it. 


It's right underneath a huge motorway bridge, so you can hear all the lorries rushing above your head (SCARY), and down the bottom of a massive river, where there's a teeny little beach! We've also done a 'Bowl Challenge' ( at least that's what we think its called ) which Ariana Grande did! Take a look at it below!





And here's our new found obsession, Passion Pit, which granted us this post's title! Guarantee you will love them, especially if you adore the likes of Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats!

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!

Inked



Inked


On behalf of us both, I deeply apologise for our lack of post updates. 
We've both been SUPER busy, but we'll try and keep the blog following even though we're back at school now! This isn't exactly a fashion-related post, but more of a latest craze post. 



At the moment, I have a bit of an obsession for tattoos.
 Now, I am only 15 and there are a few years before I am even legally allowed to THINK about getting 'inked', but I found a lot of really cute tattoos that I simply must share! 

There seems to be an odd craze for getting Chinese symbols tattooed on ( a lot probably don't even know what they mean! ) and I can honestly say that I am guilty for drawing Chinese thingys on my arm too because I thought it was cool :( 
Anyway, I definitely prefer smaller, more meaningful tattoos compared to the bright and bold sleeve ones that are SO FETCH right now. 







This one is my favourite, possibly because Lightning Bolt by Jake Bugg is one of my fave songs! I think it's so cool.



Hope you enjoyed the post and expect more stuff coming rather soon!

We Love...Lianne!






Style Crush♥

 Lianne La Havas 

aged 23, is an English folk and soul singer-songwriter from London, England.


 Born to a Greek bus-driver father and a Jamaican postlady mother, Lianne refers her kooky approach to music and fashion to her diverse roots.



        After watching her for quite a while since I first heard her track, No Room For Doubt, with Willy Mason, I was hooked, and intrigued by her individuality.
   
  Renown for her trademark lopsided bun and trusty guitar, Lianne recently supported Alicia Keys' MTV Crashes, which was broadcasted in a MASSIVE 164 countries!







She has also supported Wisconsin folk band Bon Iver on their December 2011 North American tour!



 She also has many celebrity fans,including Tom Ford, Stevie Wonder and Prince, who rang her when she was having a pint in the pub with her boyfriend! Jealous...
 She cites her style icons as multi-award winning actress and director, Diane Keaton, and Prince, in his Purple Rain video.









Lianne is recognised for her love of eclectic pieces, including popping brights, shoulder pads, Peter Pan collars and chunky statement necklaces.


Her make-up is usually very natural, although she is never caught without a statement flick of kohl eyeliner, and a dot in the middle of her bottom eyelid. Cute!



We predict that Lianne is destined for super-stardom, along with the greats of Etta Jones and Amy Winehouse. 

We recommend you download:

'Is Your Love Big Enough?' is available on iTunes and in stores now!
