Mcbusted concert, Sixth form induction and sleeping in a tent.

Well I have had a very enjoyable week indeed! Let's start with Mcbusted. I have been a huge fan of Mcfly and Busted for years. I was lucky enough to see Mcfly two years ago in Wembly and I thought they were amazing and really good performers. I was also lucky enough that James Bourne was supporting them and was playing songs from Busted. Skip forward a year and Mcfly announce they are touring as Mcbusted. Obviously ecstatic I could hardly contain my excitement. They later announced they were to headline Hyde Park! I was so eager to get tickets however my heart sank as I looked at the price. Tickets started from £60.00! So I glumly accepted the fact I wouldn't be able to go. As luck would have it a week before they headline hyde park I got a rather exciting text from my friend saying that due to an error on the website they are selling the tickets for £2.50! So we obviously jumped to that opportunity!
So Sunday rolled around and even though gates opened at 1:30 we got to Hyde park at 9:30 in order to get a good view. We were met by about 50 other fans waiting outside some of whom had slept overnight. We met some really nice people and even heard Mcbusted warm up and got a cheeky preview of Year 3000 and Thunderbirds are go. Two of my favourites. By this time I was about to explode with happiness. As the time went on the crowd grew. Below is a picture the people waiting at around 12:00

When the gates opened everybody swarmed into the park. There were about 10 gates were everybody had to line up at to get their bags checked and tickets scanned. My friend and I went to the furthest left gate and as luck would have it that was the first gate to be opened and my friend and I were the very first general admission people to get in! We ran to the stage and managed to get barrier! We were even in front of people who had payed hundreds of pounds for priority tickets! The support acts were all amazing , they included, diversity, the vamps and scouting for girls. Finally after 8 hours of standing the moment we had been waiting for finally came! The boys made an entrance in a back to the future car!




The boys were amazing and we had an amazing view!. Here are some pictures that me and my friend took through out the concert!

(Sorry that the last one is blurry) The atmosphere was just amazing and I honestly think you would had to have been there to appreciate it!
So the next day I had to Wonder down to an activity centre for Sixth form induction. I was so tired from the day before but it was actually ok. We made our own raft that didn't sink in the water! We also did some rock climbing which I sucked at!
Then on the Tuesday we had taster lessons of the a levels we are doing. The A levels I chose were English lit/lang, Drama, Sociology and Photography. It was so nice to see all my friends again. We had to wear smart office wear for sixth form so here is my outfit!
Excuse the messy bed! I really enjoyed all the A level subjects and meeting the new people joining our sixth form!
The next day I met up with my friend and we brought loads of junk food as we were going to invite loads of our friends round her house for a sleepover in this huge tent in her garden. It was great however I wasn't too great at putting up the tent... and two my friends managed to convince me that they needed me to stand in the middle of the tent the whole time for them to put it up and they only told me afterwards that they were just messing with me. 
I've never slept in a tent before so it was a new experience but I loved it. 
So yes that's been my week and I've rather enjoyed it. On Monday I'm off to Wales on NCS The Challenge were I will be doing outdoor activities such as rock climbing and white water rafting and quite honestly I am terrified! But it should be really good. Then the next week I get to spend the week in a university dorm so that should be really fun. Hope you all have a good week! x

Another purchase and something to cross off the summer to do list!

I hope you all enjoyed this glorious sunny day. Today was pretty much an average day for what you would expect for the summer holidays. My brother got back from university last night so this morning my mum prepared a yummy breakfast for us all consisting off toast, egg and sausages. It was pretty nice to see my brother after not seeing him for over 8 weeks... but don't tell him that. I then popped out to town with my friend. The first shop we obviously entered was Costa to cool us down from this abnormal hot weather. We both ordered Ice lemonades and sat in the park to drink our delicious ice cold beverage. After a bit of mooching around we ended up in Topshop which quite frankly is pretty inevitable if you ever come shopping with me. Soon my eyes caught hold of a bright yellow satchel. It was £12 down from £30 and luckily I had a £10 voucher for Topshop. So I quickly snapped up that opportunity. One of the things on my summer to do list (listed in my last post) was to buy something I wouldn't usually wear and I guess I don't own anything bright yellow so I'm pretty sure this counts.

Here you can see my new satchel in all it's glory. I think the bright colour would really add an edge to any mundane outfit. 
Probably the best thing about this bag is the fact that it has a long strap so you can wear it on your shoulder. All in all I'm pretty pleased with this bag as after the sale and £10 voucher it only ended up costing me £2!

Where ever you are I hope your having a marvellous summer... that is unless you live in Australia where I wish you a fantastic winter although it is probably still hotter than England!

Introduction and last day of school

First of all I would like to welcome you all to my new blog! A fabulous place dedicated to me rambling on about life and fashion. I have wanted to start up my own blog for rather a long time now and since I have just finished school after a gruelling month of exams I now have a glorious 2 and a half months on my hands to fill with whatever I want. So I thought what the hell? So here's to the birth of my new baby blog.  

Where do I start? These last few days have been a complete whirlwind. It all started on Friday 13th of June. A date notoriously known for bad luck. This just happened to be the date of my maths GCSE exam. Just brilliant... however it was also the last day of school for most people in my year. After sitting the much dreaded maths exam which to put frankly did not go well. It was finally time to celebrate our newly found freedom with a water fight. It was 25 degrees Celsius (which is 77 degrees Fahrenheit) so we grasped the opportunity of  drenching each other with water while we could. I quickly scurried home to get changed. I had a bit of a conundrum because on one hand I wanted to wear shorts and a t-shirt for getting drenched but on the other I was going straight off to the west end straight after the water fight to see the stunning les miserables. I finally decided on a burgundy polka dot skater dress and I just hoped that the hot weather would soon allow my dress to dry!


I hurried back to the park next to my school to be greeted by most of my year group drenching each other with water. 
It was a great day shared with some of my favourite people. After the water fight we played music and chatted to one 
another for a few hours. Letting ourselves dry off in the heat. 
Then it was off to see Les Miserables. I made my way to the Queens Theatre
were I met my dad and we went in to enjoy the show. It was phenomenal. I saw the great Carrie Fletcher play Eponine 
and she did a fantastic job. The whole cast sounded amazing and it is honestly one of
my favourite musicals to watch.
