LIVERPOOL SOUND CITY 2013
May 22, 2013Anticipation for this year’s Liverpool Sound City was at an all-time high, if not for the bands, the crew or the organisers, then definitely for this girl and her blog. With such a stellar line-up and no photographer brother by my side, I was left to “wing it”, a.k.a. make a slew of mental notes, have a good time with my BFF and beg around for photos later! Liverpool Sound City is a 3-day festival … Continue reading

Spring Haircare
April 20, 2013Though the clocks went forward a month ago, it feels like spring only, well, sprung a few days ago. For the first time in what has felt like years, I didn’t reach for my coat as I bolted out of the door, and I’d subconsciously swapped a thick knit for a cami and check shirt. My wardrobe may have moved with the seasons, but I noticed my hair and makeup were still well and truly … Continue reading

The April Playlist
April 9, 2013Anyone else noticed an ever-so-slight change in their mood since the clocks sprang forward? I for one definitely have. Just the mere action of applying my mascara in morning daylight is putting me in an instant good mood, and the spring-induced pep in my step has now transcended to my Spotify account. No more Coldplay to go with dark skies at 7am, and no more City and Colour to solidify my downward funk. Official British … Continue reading

Life’s A Beach
April 4, 2013There’s only one place I head for at Easter, and that’s home. My bank holiday weekend consisted of me and my family sleeping by the fire every night, eating a massive amount of chocolate eggs, ‘sunbathing’ on the beach, walking along the gorgeous Wales coast path and making our way through a stack of DVDs. Now that I’ve moved away, I appreciate my little Welsh hometown so much more. As soon as I’m home and the … Continue reading

Things I’ve Loved This Week #3
March 18, 2013This week, I ventured up north to Edinburgh with a thinly-planned itinerary and an intent to explore a city I’d never met. I also divulged my latest music obsession, unearthed some denim of the holy-grail variety and finally screened one of the most talked about films of 2012. All in all, a productive week! 1. A trip to Edinburgh Feeling the sudden need to escape from my adopted Roman city, two nights were spent in Scotland’s … Continue reading

My First Venture Into Gelish Nail Art
March 7, 2013I’m one of those people who finds polishing their nails a chore, and I can’t decide whether it’s because I’m too lazy, too impatient or my far-from-rock-steady composure usually fails me. However, once I have mustered up the patience to lacquer up and get my nails looking pretty (albeit a little on the messy side for my poor right hand), I can’t seem to sit still. I’m also shamefully guilty of piling on the polish … Continue reading

ON REPEAT: THE 1975
March 5, 2013The ‘repeat’ function is my best mate when a band like The 1975 come along. This is a band that get me all anxious for live music, the kind of live music that gives you a buzz so strong, it should be bottled or bagged. Before I tuned into their new EP, Music For Cars, I was starting to lose hope. I wasn’t looking forward to many gigs or festivals, which is unheard of for … Continue reading

Things I’ve Loved This Week #2
February 25, 2013I spent most of this week feeling sorry for myself with a naughty cough and cold, which also prevented me from going to see The Lumineers live in Manchester on Tuesday night. Sad face x a million, but I’m all better now and I’ve got Skunk Anansie to look forward to next month! I’m kicking off the things I’ve loved this week with… 1. Gourmet Burger Kitchen I don’t know whether you all know this … Continue reading
