Leeds Festival Photo Diary




































Practically lived in double denim, alcohol logo vests, biker boots and band tee's; Leeds Fest was the best ever, its ace that it was easy distance for us to come home on the Saturday to shower eat and then return back all nice and fresh! Muse were the best of the weekend followed closely by Seasick Steve (whom i now have a bizarre crush on) purely for the fact that Led Zeppelin bass player John Paul Jones joined him on the stage for the majority of the set...safe to say i shed tears of overwhelming excitement! Managed to appear on the screen throughout the weekend thanks to Tom for having me on his shoulders so much! 
Courtenay drove us all home at a tiring hour this morning the security traffic man person directed us down a lane called 'Death Valley' which scared us all up especially when i said it was the perfect horror film scenario.
I miss it already but nice to be home in my bed.
PS. as you can tell smiling on photos isn't really my forte i rely on pulling gay faces and praying that i look acceptable on photos...

The Zephr Song


Love love love buying new things, this weeks buys consisted of various colorful and patterned accessories from Topshop, the blue ring and matching necklace are from Forever 21 in Vietnam (present from my sister) and the turquoise shark tooth and peace necklace were beach stall buys from Spain.

video: rumi neely x rvca






























Okay, so i know i've posted about her before, but i remember watching this video literally ages ago and loving it, also 'Night's In White Satin' by The Moody Blues is just the most perfect song ever

the souk







































Slighty obsessed with this vintage shop on Haworth main-street, has the most beautiful jewelry and retro outfits, i'm in love!

tea and cake


(Vintage velvet bolero jacket, lace top -h&m vintage leopard print shades and the many clashing accessories)

Another afternoon out some months ago (when i was experimenting with colours on my already dip dyed hair) with photographer and friend Jessica Heaps, we checked out a vintage fair in Leeds. They sold the nicest tea and cupcakes in the world! Managed to get some useful buys that i have worn to death since purchasing, the buy of the day had to be my £30 vintage airwair high top Dr Martens...heavenly! 
The highly over-edited image was to sugar coat what a dismal grim day it was in Leeds.

The shop is up and running! Link is at the bottom of the page along with my Twitter and Tumblr links, hope you find some good buys!

it's the most wonderful time of the year


Next weekend! So so excited! Who else is going!?

universally speaking


A couple of random shots, i'm so lucky to live a few minutes away from such beautiful scenery - top photo on Haworth Moors photographing with Jess, sushi at Yo Sushi with Olivia. Showing off my mass of hair.

bye bye dip dye


I'm considering dyeing out my blonde tips, too many people are doing it, and it's nearly a year old. I might go even more blonde and perhaps extend to dip dye up to my roots...what do you think?
