Skylight

Evening!

So last month I was lucky enough to go and see Skylight, a play currently on the West End here in London. It features 2 of my favourite actors; Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy. Before I do my fangirling over them both, here's what I wore.

Navy Jacket // Rokit     Beatles Tee // Rokit     Jeans // Topshop     Boots // New Look

I'm wearing 2 vintage pieces, both from Rokit, which I bought from my vintage shopping weekend with Lee. The 1st is the Beatles tee. Yeah I know, I already have like 10, but this one is different, I've never seen this design before, so it's pretty rare. The second piece is that amazing navy jacket which is also from Rokit for a bargain price of £10! I don't think I've ever been in to Rokit and not bought something amazing.

Before my trip to the theatre, I met up with Luke for a spot of lunch and a wee walkabout, where we got caught in the rain.
The play was very intense and powerful with Carey and Bill portraying their characters brilliantly. I would highly recommend, but hurry as it's only on for another 2 days!!

Look who I managed to meet after the show!! I am literally so happy, I love them both and they were both so lovely, really taking their time with the fans.

Thanks for reading :) be sure to check out my eBay, I have plenty more pretty things I'll be adding!

Wishing you all a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend. I'm off to Secret Cinema on Sunday #EXCITABLES I still haven't fully decided what to wear. Unlike most people also going to this event, I actually have too many 50's style clothes to choose from!

I'll be back soon with some McBusted!!!

We All Live In A...

Evening folks!

At the end of May my Daddy dearest turned 60. To celebrate, he wanted to go on a wee trip up North, so a hotel was booked for the Ellis' in Blackpool. During our first day we took a little drive to Liverpool. Of course there was one place in particular I wanted to visit...

Being in the birth city of the Fab Four, it was only right that we visited The Beatles Story Exhibition. I was in my element! It was my Dad who introduced me to The Beatles quite a few years ago when he made me a CD of  their biggest songs (to be honest, you could probably fill about 7 CDs of their greatest hits). I was astounded that I actually knew every song, which was weird as it wasn't as though I had been brought up with my parents playing their music constantly (my Mum detests them... don't ask!). Since that very first CD, I have been a massive (too small a word?) fan of these 4 lads from Liverpool. After catching the documentary about the bands first visit to America, it was decidced that Ringo was to be my favourite.

 I love Liverpool. The shops around the docks are all full of 2 of my favourite things; The Beatles and pirates!

My outfit for the day was inspired by a certain Beatles song. Let's see if you can guess...

My chunky cable knit jumper is from Oasap. Obviously I love the bright yellow colour, but I also love the vibrant colors of the flower details on the shoulders. It means this sweater can be paired with a variety of coloured shirts/bottoms. For this outfit, I decided on a royal blue chiffon shirt originally from Primark which I bought from a little second hand clothes shop over in Donegal in Ireland. My favourite pair of jeans are from Topshops Jamie range. These yellow brogues are also from Primark and they brighten up the dullest of outfits!

Now, I'm not usually one for much accessorizing, but on this occasion, I couldn't resist. White sunglasses seem to be quite popular this summer. I bought these ones with turquoise arms from Primark for a measly 2 quid! My prized Ringo badge was a great find from jumble shop Snoopers Paradise in Brighton, and the anchor badge was a present from a visit to the Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

Here are some more photos from our day in Liverpool.

I absolutely loved The Beatles Story and can't wait to go back as there was another part that we didn't quite get enough time to visit. I have actually started a 6 week online course on The Music Of The Beatles through Coursera and so far, I am thoroughly enjoying it. I've also just enrolled on a Fashion Journalism course through Morley College in London. It starts in October and I am beyond excited!!

Oh, did you manage to guess the song inspiration for my outfit (there was also a clue in today's post name...)

That's right, it was Yellow Submarine, with my Ringo on vocals.

I hope this post didn't hurt your eyes too much. If it did, be sure to come back tomorrow for a darker outfit post featuring boats! Thanks for reading. Don't forget to like me Facebook Page to get sneak peeks before my posts go live.

I've also entered Rokit's street style competition and would love your votes. If I win, I'll be using my prize as an exclusive giveaway on the blog.

See you tomorrow where...

HelloGoodbye

I'm in a Beatles mood (when am I not?!) Here's something a little inspired by a certain album cover...

These photo's were taken just before my family road trip to Southport to visit my Aunty, Uncle and cousins, where we decorated their massive Christmas tree - told you I had catching up to do with my outfit posts! This fun Anchor Print Cape Hoodie is from Oasap - I love it!! I've paired it with a stripey long sleeved top from New Look, my Peace sign Tiffany necklace, red tartan skirt by F&F at Tesco and my new favourite shoes!

These are the beauties I got from the Elle X Kurt Geiger shopping evening. They're called Louis and are by Carvela. I love their boyish charm, expect to see plenty more of these bad boys! If anyone still has their 25% off voucher from Elle magazine (which expires at the end of this month!!), I highly recommend these shoes, which are also available in brown.

My sweet little cousin has set up a fashion Instagram filled with awesome photos, including one or two you may recognise :) be sure to check it out and follow!

Thanks for reading. Don't be shy, come talk to me, I don't bite!
