Hill Valley - 'A Nice Place To Live'

Sunday was a very exciting day for me as I got to travel back in time to 1955! I am of course talking about Secret Cinema Presents Back To The Future. While most attendees were running around trying to find their 50's outfit for the event, I was left staring into my wardrobe with too much to choose from. Here is what I decided on.

 As I had been given the character of Barbara Toomber, a student at Hill Valley High School, and as there was going to be an 'Enchantment Under The Sea' school dance, I felt it only right to wear my prom dress. Yes, this is the dress I wore 8 years ago to my very own prom. I bought it (or rather my Nan bought me it) from a wee dress shop in Ballybofey, County Donegal, Ireland. We would always drive past the shop during our summer holidays and I'd always say that was where I was going to get my prom dress from when the time came. My orange cardigan is originally from Monsoon but I got it from a clothing swap. The orange cat eye glasses were a great find from Forever 21. The moment I spotted them instore was the moment I made up my mind to wear my green and orange gown. To complete my look I bought some green frilly socks from New Look to go with my white brogues from Matalan. Oh and who could forget my student satchel!!

Kev's outfit was slightly last minute, but with a quick run to Primark I think he looked fab!!

We had such an amazing evening and I'd even go as far as to say this may just be the best event in London I have been to this year...so far. The set was amazing, the actors were brilliant and the whole atmosphere was just delightful with plenty to see and do before the film screening. There are just 3 more sold-out nights left and I would highly recommend checking out the Facebook event page for people selling spare tickets.

As we were travelling back to 1955, phones and digital cameras were not permitted, so it was back to using old school disposables. It just made for even more authenticity. Here are a few of our shots from Hill Valley.

I was so sad to have to leave Hill Valley but am very much excited to see what Secret Cinema have planned for their next event!!

Right, that's my grovelling out of the way. How about an outfit post? This one is from before Christmas. It's only taken me quarter of a year to get it up!

My brother took me to the Harry Potter Studio's for my birthday. It was literally THE most exciting day of my life! Here I am on the frigging knight bus! My blue suede fringed boots I think I bought from Barretts years ago. They're super comfy inside, like walking on clouds (or how I imagine that to feel). The floral dress is from New Look (I'll be selling it on my eBay later tonight! - or you can find it on ASOS here.), layered over a plain fuchsia top, with a black vintage horse riding jacket and my Louche coat from Joy. Oh, not forgetting my Butterbeer!

It was such a fun day, I loved every minute and was very sad to see it end. I don't want to spoil the experience for those of you who are yet to visit, so here is a very small selection of my favourite snaps (seriously, I took photos of literally everything). Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for reading. Don't forget to head over to my Facebook page and enter the giveaway!!

Rumours

I'm stuck at home with a sore foot, so what better way to spend my time than with a new blog post! Today's is an outfit post. This was from a few weeks ago. Me and my brother went costume shopping for Reel Music's movie soundtrack club night event. It was a lovely warm and sunny day. Here's what I wore.

The trousers are from Matalan. I've become a big fan of printed trousers. There are so many different patterns to chose from and if it features lots of different colours then there are also endless possibilities of what else you can pair them with!

This time, I wore mine with a lilac Fleetwood Mac t-shirt which I found in a little cheap boutique in Startford for £5! The light denim jacket is from Next but I bought it from eBay and my flats, bag and sunglasses are all vintage. The shoes are actually old nurse shoes so they're super comfy.
Here was the end result of costume hunting

Don't worry, I didn't eat any apples from weird old ladies.

I'm currently taking note of my favourite outfits over at this years Cannes Film Festival. I'll post up a list with the top lists from the whole festival when it finishes next week, so look out!

Don't forget to like my Facebook page, there'll be an exclusive Facebook only giveaway coming once it reaches 100 likes! For now, I'll leave you with some Fleetwood Mac. Thanks for reading, don't be shy, leave some feedback :)
