royal-wedding-ness
Just spotted this little 'Royal Wedding Kit' on Anya Hidmarch online shop... isn't it adorable! I am totally obsessing over the royal weeding now, and with only a few days to go, I cannot control my girlish excitement! I'm planning to go up to London on the day with a friend to join in with the celebrations, probably somewhere like Hyde Park or Trafalgar Square where there will be screenings of the event. These past few weeks, I have been avidly keeping myself up to date with all the wedding goings-on, and bought myself the latest issue of Vogue magazine (the one with my most favourite model, Natalia Vodianova on the cover), which, unsurprisingly is a wedding special! Doesn't she look serene! I now cannot wait for friday... roll on the Royal Wedding! x

moi je joue...
Just a little bit inspired by Brigitte Bardot on my little shopping outing today. Picked up a couple of pieces in New Look, including a pair of skinny combat trousers, a long sleeve 'breton' style top (of which I already have too many), a rusty red crop vest top with ties, and a white crew neck jumper (which I thought would be perfect lightweight coverage for early summer). I also bought a couple of Barry M Nailpaints, which are great for their bold, eye-catching colour, in shades 'Coral' and 'Mushroom'. I've also started to get into the habit of putting my hair up into messy pony tails, with some curly strands coming loose around my neckline and ears, tied with a little lace ribbon in a bow, something I noticed from a sixties photo series by Sam Haskins titled 'Gill'. Pretty happy with this little capsule wardrobe, I think the colours complement each other perfectly... I think Brigitte would approve.

Katy Perry at Hammersmith Apollo... ♥
So I went to see Katy Perry on her California Dreams Tour on Thursday night... what an incredible show!! I went with four friends, and we had standing tickets so we got there early enough so we were at the front. It truly was amazing... the outfits were stunning, the dancers were fantastic, the whole show was so theatrical, and Katy is the most extraordinary performer..
She really had the crowd wrapped around her little finger, and we all loved it... my friends and I were devotedly singing every lyric along with her, she is totally our girl crush! (ignore how American that sounded!) ♥

The Vaccines... ♥

Since first hearing their single 'Wreckin' Bar' on XFM in January, I have down right fallen head-over-heels for 'The Vaccines'. The London four piece make, what I like to call, proper pop music, reminiscent of The Strokes and The Ramones. They graced the cover of NME in early January, and are on this week' cover too... both magazines I rushed out to buy and pore over.
Their debut album 'What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?' was released on Monday, and I made sure I was at their signing at the HMV store in Oxford Street, where the band played six songs, including 'Post Break-Up Sex', 'If You Wanna', 'Nørgaard', 'A Lack of Understanding', 'Wolf Pack', and of course, 'Wreckin' Bar'. Each song is fuelled with guitar reverb and lyrics of love and youthhood, and are completely short, sharp and fun. I got myself standing right at the front, and excitedly sang along like the the desperate teenage girl I am, no apologies!
Once the set was over, Arni, Pete, Freddie and Justin took the time to sign copies of the album, which I was incredibly thankful for. Last night, Justin and Freddie joined John Kennedy on his X-posure show on XFM, where the album was played in full with the guys talking through each song in detail. I texted in to the show, asking John to thank the guys again for signing my CD, and, low and behold, he read my message out live on air!! I was so chuffed.. I think its fair to say I'm in love with this band ♥
