A few weeks ago, I attended the Notting Hill Carnival in London. It was nothing short of spectacular. Feathered masses paraded down the streets with admirable confidence, irrevocable joy and eternal youth. They engulfed and consumed passers by with their music and dance, taking them on a journey of awakening - awakening from the slumber of mundane life. The explosion of colours, sounds and cultures shook the buildings and rid onlookers of any inhibitions. Like a lullaby, the carnival urged: "come and join the party". The street party.

E.G.

I watched Example at the LG Arena in Birmingham on Thursday.The PCD (Post Concert Depression) is definitely kicking in.
 

Check out his latest album here

 During the day I had school - here's a quick look at what I wore:

I tried to create an A-Line with this cute houndstooth hip-skirt. Both the A-Line silhouette and the Peter Pan collar are very 60's, but I've given the outfit a modern twist with the studded Docs.

After school, my friend and I changed and prepped ourselves for Example! I cannot articulate how excited we were to see this beautiful man. We were squealing like those infamous fangirls, although I like to think we were less annoying.

 OBVIOUSLY we had to kit ourselves out with some Example merch before we went in. I was torn between the bobble hat and the jumper. After a series of oohs and aahs, I opted for the hat - but I think I'm going to  have to visit his website and buy the jumper AS WELL. You can never buy too much merch, right?

The concert itself was incredible. His performance exceeded my high expectations, and the atmosphere was e-l-e-c-t-r-i-c. For me, the song of the night was definitely Close Enemies. So so good...

I shall post photos of the actual performance soon:)

The next day I had to draaag myself out of bed to get ready for school. Consequently, my outfit was put together in about 5 seconds - but of course I remembered to put on my new hat.

Loungewear is a rarity

 I did go out today, but as soon as I came home I jumped straight into this! I'm quickly developing an obsession for these pyjama bottoms!

 

I mentioned my intention of dying my hair before. Today, I'm off to try out a semi-permanent red! I really hope it's visible, as I desperately want to avoid using any bleach products. My poor little afro will wither and die if it comes into contact with bleach...

 

 

Finally, as many of you will know, HMV is closing down, so of course I had to take advantage of this opportunity. SALES! I didn't go crazy with the spending because frankly, the store I  went into was horrifically unorganised and I couldn't actually find half of the CDs I was looking for. However, I did manage to find Arc by Everything Everything! I've been a huge fan since 2010, so to see their second album in he charts was amazing! I am a happy bunny!
