Notes and rambles about this week's songs;

This weeks playlist contains a lot of favourites and current favourites.

Anna Nalick recently released her long awaited album - Broken doll & Odds and Ends.  

Broken Doll is one of my favourites on it!

My list of favourite songs by Bob Dylan (whom I adore) is quite long... but Blowin in the Wind is probably near the top.

Delta Maid (...blog post about her soon!) is my latest obsession. Her voice is like heaven. 

Any Way I Want To is my current favourite song by her.

Having seen them recently, I'm spending a lot of time listening to The Pierces. New favourite song = I Put Your Records On.

She started following me on twitter recently and so I thought I better check her out... Tenille is a new Canadian country singer & songwriter and she is amazing. I bought two of her songs on itunes and I can't stop listening to Pictures on a Crooked Wall.

I can't wait to buy her debut album! It came out on the 11th (June), but I have an itunes bill to pay yet! Haha.

My current favourite The Kills song is Goodnight Bad Morning ♥

Again, it's hard to choose a favourite Concrete Blonde song because the list gets longer each time I think about it. But Mexican Moon comes close and I've been listening to it a lot recently.

My favourite song off Love, Ire & Song. Long live the queen by Frank Turner was very near the top of my most played songs on itunes on my old laptop. 

I recently had to rack my brains when someone asked me what my favourite Rise Against song was. I sat and listened to an album or two especially and wrote a list. I drew a heart next to Saviour and so I figured that was a sign. I do love the song and I've been listening to it a lot since making that list.

Stuck Like Glue is like a need in my day. It's so addictive and I need to listen it too many times in the day.

That was a lot of rambling... sorry.

Happy Friday!

Q: What are your current favourite songs?

What I Wore - 8/6/11

Apologies for not posting for a few days! I went to Nottingham on Wednesday and came back yesterday. I mentioned a post or two back that I was going to see The Pierces, and that's what I done on Wednesday evening.
They were amazing (!!) As were their two supporting acts; Alice gold & Delta Maid - And I will, for sure, be posting about them on my music blog in the next few days.

However, over here on my fashion/style/personal... everything else blog, I'm of course going to blog about my outfit and my day!
I spent just over 2 hours travelling - one bus, two trains & one taxi. In that order!
And when I got off my first train it was very sunny & pretty warm! I was impressed. However, while going through various places on my second train - there was no sun. I was pretty concerned considering I was going to be standing in a queue with a white dress on, later on.
The wonderful British weather came into full force while I was in the taxi to my hotel - It hailed. Hard.
So my outfit didn't go to plan, I wasn't into risking getting so cold I go home ill, so I put my jeans on instead of the tights. Also, I put my jacket on over the dress - for two reasons: I forgot my vest top to wear underneath because the dress is relatively see-through (boo!) & also, it was cold.


Obviously, again, my outfit photos aren't up to much. And the quality isn't so good this time as the lighting was different. I took them in my hotel room. Haha! I hope you like them anyway.

Dress - New Look
(faux) Leather Jacket - Internacionale
Jeans -  Internacionale
Oxfords - Primark
Flower Clip - Claire's

I also apologize for the state of my hand... I blame the weather.


I had a wonderful Wednesday, I hope you did too. I now have a lot to catch up on!
Happy Friday!
P.S - I took a lot of photos at the show on Wednesday and you can see them on my Flickr!

Preparing for The Pierces.

I was originally going to do this blog entry for my music blog... but then I realized I'm just going on about my outfit so it would be better suited here!

I tend to do a fair amount of preparation for most gigs I go to (if you didn't know, I go to a lot of gigs) - admittedly most of that preparation is my outfit.

In a weeks time I'm going to see The Pierces and a lot of my preparations are of course, my outfit.

My gig outfits are usually based on something about the singer/band I'm going to see or sometimes the style/genre.

I have a white based, kind of flowy outfit planned. With lace and flowers. I don't really wear dresses that much, mainly because I never find or imagine any dresses that would suit me. But anyway, back to the outfit, I guess it's based around their style and their music. Very soft, flowy, and boho-like.

I took some photos a few days ago:

Dress; Flower Hair Clip; Gloves/wrist bands; Shoes (the shoes are a lot lighter than they are in this photo)

Also; Lace tights!






I also bought a flower crown, but I'm not sure if to wear that or the flower clip.
The dress is the one I wore when I moved, you can see it properly in the outfit post I done.
I'm literally in love with the little wrist... things - I clearly have no idea what they're actually called, feel free to let me know, haha! - They're just so pretty (!!) & I've been meaning to buy lace tights for a while but haven't 'til now. I love them!
As for the shoes, I wasn't meant to be buying any more shoes. (...like that was actually gonna happen though) but they are oxfords (my favourite)! And they were in the sale for £8... EIGHT?!

I will be doing a proper outfit post after the gig, but I just wanted to share what I will wearing!

P.S - Happy June!
