Floral Culottes and Band Tee.

Top: Kaiser Chiefs Tour. Belt: Asos Curve. Culottes: Dorothy Perkins. 

Blazer: Gemma Collins c/o Simply Be.

 I was on twitter a few days ago (but lets get real, I'm ALWAYS on it ...) and the lovely Olivia from Wait Until The Sunset had posted an outfit involving one of her many loved Band Tee's and was wondering whether her look with them was too 'tough' and how could she make it more feminine. I suggested teaming it with florals as this is what I do with the majority of my cool band tee's. Now I'm sure you all know by now I'm a lover of in some opinions rubbish pop music meaning I have a large number of tee's from pop concerts so instead of showing you my Jonas Brothers and One Direction numbers (these are strictly pj tops and are never seen in public!) or even my number of McFly ones which have actually in the past happily been worn in public, granted most recently while I was on the way to one of there gigs. I thought I'd show you one of my all time favourite band tee's and how I tend to style it.

This is a Kaiser Chiefs Tee from the tour for the second album "Yours Truly Angry Mob". It is very much loved so has probably seen better days, I've actually had this since I was 13, so that's six years not bad going for a top! In the last few years I always tend to pair my tour shirts with these cute floral culottes, I know their not technically a skirt, but they look like one! I can dress these up or down and have surprisingly been a very versatile piece in my wardrobe. The belt has now been featured on here a number of times as I just love pairing it with everything specially florals as it keeps that rocky edge and also finished the look off without being too much. Now the blazer is to die for, in fact it will be getting a post of its own for a review very soon but lets just say I'm so in love with it, perfect beyond words! For my make up I was actually getting ready to go out, so I had a sparkly lid with some smudged black liner along my upper lash line for some definition with lashing of mascara and some colour on my lips to compliment the flowers on the culottes.

As it's winter here and dark by 4pm the majority of my pictures seem to be getting taken at night (if I get chance at all lately!) But I actually quite like how the pictures turn out, I hope you don't mind! Also if you haven't checked out Olivia's blog then it's a must she is one of my fave bloggers and her pictures always make me smile because she has such a lovely smile! She's also from Australia, how amazing is it that we get to chat like old friends yet we're basically on the other side of the world to each other, sometimes you just gotta love the Internet!

Ed Sheeran...

If you've been reading my blog long enough you'll know that I have an undying love for Ed Sheeran. I saw him for the first time back in January and blogged about it here where I was lucky enough to actually meet him, this time round I wasn't so much... Though waiting for two hours in the freezing cold with bottles of adnams broadside as a present (so he'd obviously fall in love with me, duh?) was deffinitly an experience I'm not eager to repeat. Just in case you were wondering he didn't actually come out in the end anyway I'll shut up about the negatives.

As always it was one of the best gigs ever! I took my brother well I say take... I actually made him buy the tickets in the first place! It was his first time seeing Ed perform so I was just excited that he hadn't actually seen the band before me like he normally has. The support acts were also pretty decent though I preferred Passenger out of the two he was so funny and well just adorable, I'm planning to try and go to his solo tour in January! Unlike most gigs I often go to where they have you waiting for ages between each support and then for the main act We had Ed on stage being of course amazing within and hour and he did 2 full hours with all his + album as well as a few old tracks though in my opinion not enough I LOVE HIS OLD(ISH) MUSIC and I love when I see people with ed painted on there face not knowing the words because they only know the "popular" tacks. Yes I'm one of those fans who is remotely smug and awful over such things, I'm sorry I can't help it!

I'll say now what I've said before if you ever get the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran DO IT. You will never be disappointed (unless you wait in the rain and cold to try and meet him) and he truly puts his all into every show and is generally amazing live. I do realise I'm bias because I also have a pretty big crush on him!

Keep Calm and Play Louder.

I don't want to write pages and pages about this (though I could very easily!) On Saturday night went to the 02 Apollo in Manchester to see my all time favourite band, McFly I haven't missed a tour since I was 13 and I've loved them since I was ten, which was when they first started almost 9 years which is crazy!

For all the tour dates but one I've been with my friend Mary (who is the main person in the bottom picture with me, please ignore Elly jumping in, haha!) Last tour we ended up on second row then somehow jumped to right in front of Tom Fletcher, which was amazing. This time round the 4 of us ( Elly, Mary, me and Mary's friend from uni Eilidh) we somehow ended up behind friends and family meaning we were surround by the boys really fit girlfriends (how depressing) and Antony Cotton which was brilliant though I fear I deafened him by the end!

further down the row in front of Mary was James Michael who was on XFactor... we first bumped into him as soon as we walked in and I grabbed him because it was Mary's 19th and she wanted a pictures (more like I did) next think we know hes grabbing us and mushing his face into my cheek for a picture and going on about how cool it is to come to McFly on your birthday! Then the best thing happened he sang Happy Birthday to Mary and it wasn't the best I've ever heard him we were all in fits of laughter!

Now I'm going to finish with I heard 3 of McFlys new songs and they are AMAZING I'd forgotten how much I loved them and how insane they are live! Even if your not a massive fan of them you will like these songs, Fangirl for life.

A rose is blue and violets red, say it isn't true don't tell me romance is dead.

The plastic flowers you gave, sit on the table so unstable and there's some greasy fingerprints on that pre-wrote birthday car you wrote your name in, and i know that you make your effort but i think you could do much better. A rose is blue and violets red say it isn't true don't tell me romance is dead, so wake up you sleepy head all your dreams are just a kiss away. I ask you for a letter so you emailed,have we failed? oh you kiss with such a potential then ask to speed up its not enough, now I'm carrying my own bags up 17 flights of stairs love...

These photos are a mixture of ones I took and professional ones, though I'm sure you can tell which ones are which haha. All of these absolutely wonderful Paloma Faith photo's were taken on the 31st of October, which is when me and my dear friend Finn saw the beautiful woman herself. Paloma Faith's costumes on stage were AMAZING unfortunately I have no idea who had designed them but once I find out I will most definitely tell you all! When she appeared on stage she had a floor length feather skirted dress on and a really unique almost helmet styled headpiece which was covered in fur, I think. Then half way through the set she changed into a tight fitting black dress with large one shouldered leather looked puff sleeve, with yet another pair of animal like ears! Utterly fabulous, though this pair did not stay on Paloma's poor head for long I think she'd had enough when she was jumping around.

There is so much I could say about this concert but I won't poor you with me rambling! But I will say this is one of the best ones I've ever been to, It was just amazing and meeting her afterwards was the cherry on top of the already decorated cake!
