Oops I should have posted way before now! It's funny when I'm at home I feel like I've been busy but I really haven't! Well I suppose our house for next year is all sorted all that's left is to move into it. I'm super excited. How can I be old enough to have a house?
oh and of course how can I forget Latitude?? The festival was beautiful but I need to go and get my pictures developed and when I have I'll stick them up but for now I'll just have to let you imagine the
most fairy-tale experience of my life. Honestly it felt magical.
Latitude is in Suffolk and the whole surrounding area was like a postcard. Henham Park was so gorgeous and in the sunshine (thank God for no rain) it looked beautiful. Fairy lights hung from every tree and even the sheep were jazzed up - they were pink!
On a musical note highlights for me was Christine and the Queens who was just amazing her quirky stage presence captivated me. I first saw her when I watched this years Glastonbury and became obsessed with her single, Tilted. Turns out her whole album is just as good (if only I could speak French). I equally loved Mo's set. She was this tiny bundle of electricity topped up with old school anklets and crazy patterned tights, you can imagine the hysteria when she performed "Lean on" her collaboration with Major Laser.
As well as music Latitude show a great mix of poetry, literature, dance and theatre.
Theatre Ad Infinitum company with their play Bucket List was amazing.
"When her mother is murdered for protesting corporate and governmental corruption, Milagros finds herself with only a bloodstained list of those responsible. Determined to make them pay, Milagros embarks on a passionate quest for justice, no matter the cost" http://www.theatreadinfinitum.co.uk/
Most of it felt extremely Berkoff-ian with physical theatre playing a huge role in the production. The company was so tight and in tune with each other. Everything was perfectly executed. I don't want to give an Alevel drama review but the tension created by the piece was amazing.
I always get festival withdrawrel I always feel as if I've escaped to another planet when I'm at one. I need another weekend of performance, dancing to crazy music in a forest, covered head to toe in glitter and sushi wraps for tea!
(Here's the few pics I managed to catch on my phone...before it died.)
Apart from the fabulous-ness of Latitude I've been taking time to see family and friends. Yesterday we took a lovely trip to Scarborough. Its a traditional seaside town and somewhere we visit every year. We did the typical Fish and chips as well as Ice Cream and my Mum got to try out her new camera. It was a cute day.
I kind of stole most of my outfit from my sister (sorry Fran). Of course the New Balance are mine and they're my shoe of choice at the moment. They're just so comfy! Since my favourite chunky black T-Bars broke I've been wearing trainers loads more. I'm hoping to get some Doc Marten T.bars or maybe shoes as I know they'll be worth the cost as I'll wear them loads and they will hopefully last longer than my others.
Once again none of my outfit choices seem to match. I've also ignored most of my accessories this past week. I feel that in summer I just throw anything on and pray for a good outcome hehe.
Trousers: New Look
Shirt: Topshop
Top: Charity
I'll get my Latitude pictures from my disposable developed ASAP. It always seems such a faf considering how used we are to everything be instantaneous but I think the pictures are worth it. I don't now why but they seem to capture more of the "in the moment feeling" (I may just be blabbering on now...sorry)
Have a lovely week!
