Outfit of the Day

My university's annual summer ball has two parts; day and evening...it is also a time that all the students like to show off what they wear! Here is what I wore during the day. I am definitely not a fashionista and definitely not the slimmest of people but on this particular day, Asos had just delivered me the skirt I am wearing after 3 weeks of being out of stock and I was beyond happy :D






Forever 21: Bag, Kimono
Boohoo: White Body
Asos: Denim Skirt
Converse

YO! Sushi

| On
Wednesday, May 14, 2014
 A friend of mine recently got taken on date to a sushi-making class and so sushi's been the talk of the moment for me; I couldn't stand it until earlier this year when I found out how delicious it actually is and going to a sushi bar (with a conveyer belt and all!!!) was next up on the list of dining places to visit. We passed YO! sushi and went on in. Quick, more filling than you'd think, healthy plus a fun way to eat your lunch. You also get to watch the sushi chef make the sushi which is actually pretty fascinating. The food was not as great as I'd hoped it to be; the sushi bought at my local Tesco tastes the same. But, if you're wanting to try out a new dining experience, a Sushi bar (like YO!Sushi), I would totally recommend it.

the dishes were priced according to colour of the bowl- pretty reasonable prices
Also, felt rude taking photos so tried to do snap them quite subtly.
 
Both ordered katsu curry and assorted maki but you can also just help yourself to whatever appeals to you on the conveyor belt

Tourist in London

Friday, April 11, 2014
A few of my friends were going to a gig in the night (a gig which I couldn't get tickets for) but we decided to make a day of it. London is one of my all time favourite cities and living only 30 mins away from the centre is a complete bonus! A lot of us have exams approaching and we needed a break-spending time with our friends is the perfect way. The sun came out to play and we had such a brilliant day - ha that rhymed.

Two Door Cinema Club 08/02/2013

Two Door Cinema Club - O2 Academy, Brixton,
Saturday 8th February 2013

The crowd already pumped from the support acts, on came the Irish trio. Opening with the first (and fave) song from their latest album 'Sleep Alone' surely kept the crowd ready for the rest of the night. The indie band Two Door Cinema Club kept a constant 90 minute dancy and purely energetic set.
Around half way through the act, Alex Trimble (the ginger lead) came onto stage with a cuppa claiming he was losing his voice - later found out this was due to a throat infection- however, we could not tell. Trimble' voice was on pitch through out the whole gig. 
It was perfect. In this sense, I was dissapointed overall with their performance as it was a complete replicate of their two albums. Very little improvisation.  

I'm writing this in a hurry. I will get back to it when I have the time sorry

King Charles - Koko, London
Thursday 27th September 2012

I first heard about Charles Costa - King Charles- in the summer when Mumford & Sons had featured in his first chart single 'The Brightest Lights' . I immediately became obsessed with his odd eccentric ways and when I found out he was doing a headlining gig relatively close to me, I did not hesitate to purchase the bargain tickets. (£15!!!)
 
The small venue, KoKo, sure was packed to its fullest capacity- being a sold out gig was no joke with the heat slowly becoming too much. The audience consisted of hardcore fans wearing the King’s infamous moustache (like me), silent spectators,stumbling late teens/early 20’s and hipster boys all pumped for the royal arrival of King Charles.

Lights glaring on to him, fog and the outline of his turban of dreadlocks is all I could see before he picked up his guitar (one the many instruments he can play). Being a huge fan of the King, I was not disappointed by the intensity of the set-list.  “Mr Flick” - a funky yet unexpected song to start with set the tone of the entire night- creating a fun, psychedelic atmosphere. He appeared humbled by the audience with quite a few praises thrown towards us. Tremendous guitar solos, incredible stage presence and songs that I adore; Needless to say, it was a fabulous gig.
