I'm with the band...

Rock on everyone,

So I am actually a big music fan of diverse taste which not many people know. My first concert was The Darkness playing in the old Wembley Arena, they were supported by Ash which was incredible, I was 7 or something and Justin (the leader singer) found out the security alarms were going off in his house but instead of calling off the show he simply said "it must go on!" (Maybe with a few more swear words lol!). 

To put it plainly, that night, fuelled by my mums endless playing of her favourite music; bands such as Bon Jovi, The Black Crowes, Fleetwood Mac etc., began a love that would lead to me having the most diverse iPod of anyone I know. I can have the Jonas Brothers next to Nirvana on a shuffle! 

This music taste has heavily influenced my dress sense, but my favourite part is the T-shirt. I am addicted to buying them, not just band ones but them in general. However, my collection is well stocked with tees that express my love of music! One of my faves is my mums home-made Black Crowes tee that is tie-dye (see below).

Back in time, band t-shirts were a guy or girls way to say "I am with this band, loyal and dedicated, a fan and a follower" but with the recent trends in fashion on the high street to bring album art and logos to the masses, this loyalty has been replaced with "I liked the look of the logo so I bought the top, I actually have never listened to the band." Me and my friends have often had discussions where we have asked people if they love the band/album as much as we do, to hear back that they don't even know who they are. It's frustrating as a music fan to hear that. 

It used to be that tees were the way to spot fellow fans and connected people with common interests. Now it is not that easy, as I have discovered, but I guess we all have access to social networks to keep in touch with fellow fans and the humble t-shirt has lost is place in most modern fandoms. However, I know that they will not be going anywhere soon, especially not in my world as my collection will not stop growing, I still have some that I would love to get! 

This is my most recent one bought at The 02 on 23rd March 2013:

Philosophy I came up with today ♥

Hey guys,

Not long till my birthday. I am still a teen though so don't worry, what will I do when I hit twenty hmmm... well that's far from now so I am not too worried.

Today while I was on the bus, thinking about my outfit I was amazed to come up with this little philosophy for my blog:

"Fashion is defined not by the clothes themselves but the person you are when you wear them ♥"

I think it's quiet good. I am immensely proud to be a fashionista and will now live my life by this motto.

Today I was a walking fashion magazine, with a combo of colour-blocking, florals, metallics and destressed denim. I have a habit of turning skirts and tops into dresses and today was no exception ☺

I also made my very first pizza from scratch, no mean feet but the best thing I can make.

Speak soon guys,
Luv,

Quote of the Day♥

Hey guys,

Today's quote is a long one, it's the first part of a song thats completely true to my feelings today.

Here it is:

"Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light,
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much runnin' through my mind

First you wanna be free,

Now you say you need me,
Givin'mixed signals and signs
It's so hard to let you in
Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again

Put the pedal down
Headin out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain is
Drivin' me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta getaway.

I can't keep comin' back to you,
Every time you're in the mood,
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on,
'Cuz every time I think you're gone,
You show up in my rear view mirror

Is this just a detour?
'Cuz I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say,
It's so hard to let you in,
Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again."
(Hilary Duff - The Getaway)

Lots of Love

Quote of the day! ♥love♥

Hey guys,

Bit of a long one today but I found this and I loved it xxxx So here it is:

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows!

- Audrey Hepburn

Lots of Love,

Hey guys,

Yesterday was sooo hilarious and I had a great time! I spent the whole day laughing and crashed out when I got home.

I hope today will also be the same because it doesn't feel like it right now.

So here is a quote about time:

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.” Albert Einstein (one of my hero's)

Love you guys,

Quote of the Day! ♥♥

Hey Guys,

My quote of the day is happier because today someone made me feel better than I have felt in a long time.

So here it is☺:

“What is love? Love is when one person knows all of your secrets... your deepest, darkest, most dreadful secrets of which no one else in the world knows... and yet in the end, that one person does not think any less of you; even if the rest of the world does.”  (see more at http://tiny.cc/n1u2p)
