Justin Timberlake | My First Gig | MM DAY 7

I think my first gig aged 11 was more for my mum's benefit rather than my own. At the time, I was listening to Green Day and Nelly Furtado (a mixture of influences from my way cooler than me cousins and my primary school best friend, Lydia), evidently not Justin Timberlake.

I was given the tickets for my birthday, and felt super accomplished telling all my new school friends in year 7  that I was going to see 'Justin!!!!' *cue hysterical screaming and jealously* - both of which I didn't really understand.

Anywho, my mum, her friend (at my birthday?! I know, I'm still confused now) and I settled into our seats in the Gods at the O2 awaited Justin.

I don't remember a whole lot from the concert, but vividly, burnt into my memory forever is my mum screaming Justin's name whilst I was trying to video the concert on a shitty little Nokia camera phone in order to prove to my new friends that I was kinda cool. I failed.

This concert is possibly the only cool thing I've ever done in the last 17 years of my life. Ever since, I've been pretty much in love with Timberlake - who isn't?!


Have a lovely Sunday,

March 2013 Favourites

March, it's such a middle of the road month. Granted, there was Mother's day and my brother's birthday, but it doesn't mean it was totally great (sorry, Alex). It's this time of year I begin to loose my attention span for most of my school work, anyone who knows me is undoubtedly familiar my ability to find random games to avoid coursework deadlines. It's a skill that's on my CV. So in March I have a tendency to delve into all sorts of other things, so here are a list of my favs of this month...


TV: The Village
Granted, this aired on the 31st of March but seriously, aside from watching The Office all month on Netflix, this is the only series on the telly that actually got me excited. It's about a man, Bert Middleton, retelling his memories of the village in which he grew up from 1914 onwards. The cast is pretty special; Nico Mirallegro especially. He's working his way up my 2013 hot list, BIG TIME. I saw him in My Mad Fat Teenage Diary, and he was featured briefly in the ASOS magazine. I think it's his eyebrows or his accent, but he's effortlessly cool. Either I need to be married or best friends with him. That's the deal.

Game: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
I've really nerded out over this game over this last month. Seriously, I've even embarrassed my brother. Maybe it's because the character wears a cape or jumps building to building - both of which I do not own/am capable of, and that's fine, and which is why I've played it all month long.


Music: Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience
Finally JT is back! Super high notes, clean tailoring with an odd pinch of Jay-Z in the mix. It makes me very very happy. I went to his last tour way back in 2008 with my Mum and I kid you not she was screaming louder than I was. With any luck she'll buy me a ticket to the tour, fingers and toes crossed.


Make Up: Maybelline Expression Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow
I brought this about 2 weeks ago in On And On Bronze, and to every social occasion I've worn this. It's super simple and gorgeous, and has really pretty golden shimmer. I just love it, and there's definitely going to be a review in the up coming days.



Accessories: Leather Vintage Clutch Bag
I'm going to label this bag as vintage, it is kind of. Brought from a charity shop, it's old, worn, and it was a right bargain. How could I resist?! It's pretty small, it only just fits my purse and phone in, but it's quite nice to just carry about if I'm just popping out to get a few things and and be easily dressed up with it's classic style.



JewelleryBlack Faceted Bead Statement Necklace
What a mouthful, and what a necklace. Again, I brought it from a charity shop and it's really inspired me to *possibly* make my own version. A ribbon is attacked tie into a bow at the back of your neck, gives it a bit of decadence and fanciness to a very simple outfit. A wardrobe staple.
