It feels a while since i've posted and so much has happened.
I've officially finished my first year at London College of Music and can't believe how fast it has gone. I've made the best friends and I'm so lucky to be living in my dream city having all these wonderful experiences. My friends and I have even managed to find a really nice house for next year, which made me feel all grown up but a little scared because I still don't feel old enough to be making these big decisions.
Now that uni is over for a while I've been making the most of my free time and by that I mean searching through charity shops to find some new pieces for my summer wardrobe. Top of the list would have to be a fabulous green tartan jacket (below) I found in Hammersmith in the local Oxfam and at just £8 I thought it was worth letting my inner 'Heather' let rip. (for any of you musical theatre lovers you may see the connection to this in the title of this bog post).
The shirt is from East End Thrift store and the pinafore is Primark (hands down the best thing ever purchased from there). My bag is Urban Outfitters.
I've also recently discovered the amazing shop that is beyond retro. I'd heard so much about it but never actually veered that far off Brick Lane before and now I seriously regret not venturing to it earlier. Its A.Mazing!!!! it has so much stuff and I fell in love with their own collection. From here I managed to buy a play- suit, dress shirt and denim jacket for just under £35! The denim jacket had to be the best buy. I'd wanted for ages and since my sister spotted and started wearing my mums old original 90's one I knew I was missing out. at £15 the Beyond Retro sale rail served me well!
Recently I also got to visit Brixton, something that has been on my to do list since the beginning of the year. I met up with some friends who also study in London and we found a pop up village aptly named "Pop". we ate taco's and had a catch up in this great space. Made up mainly of shipping containers it housed loads of independent retailers and food stalls. As well as what looked like a cinema. Visiting Brixton also meant I got to visit the David Bowie Memorial and pay respect to one of the most iconic figures of British music Culture. Even now, months after his death fans are still leaving tributes and flowers. It was a shame I had to leave the vibrancy of Brixton early due to work but I will defiantly go again and I'd love to go on a night out around there.
I'm now home in Hull for a week or so. It's lovely to see the family, they've been having a clear out while I've been away and found loads of records for me to have a look through. My dog seems to be especially pleased that I'm home. Below are some random pictures from the end of term celebrations. The last photo is my sister playing at one of her gigs, she's pretty good so if your into chilled guitarists or singer songwriters then check her out on sound cloud or Facebook at Frankie Flowers Music.
Hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday.
