Golden Girl and The Black Swan

My take on partying / someone else's take that I've tried to live by,
"the less classy you are the more fun you have" which made me think. Totally true ( well when you're drunk (this doesn't mean be a slut though)) .

My party wisdom is,
 "if you haven't embarrassed yourself, you must not have had fun".

 Live your youth now before you're trying to revive it during a mid-life crisis full of regrets, ironically because you did nothing to regret!

It's super hard in a judgemental society to do what you want, but I personally try to do whatever I would if I thought no one would judge me...but still knowing I'll inevitably be judged if that make sense?

 It's not a "dance like no ones watching" thought, it's more, dance like everyone is watching, mould who you want to be. Because everyone IS watching whether you like it or not.

 The dictionary is full of synonyms too, so people have already painted a picture and cropped you in (I love you Nicki). Loud/lively, nice/pushover, honest/blunt, fat/curvy, skinny/slim, talented/boastful, traditional gentleman/sexist etc. etc. etc.

There are 7 billion people in the world, be yourself and someone is bound to like you for you.

Vday

I l-o-v-eeee cringe. I love vday. Without going on, I love it because I'm a hopeless romantic who loves the idea of love, you see all these cute and thoughtful couples displaying how much they love each other, adorable. People are too cool to show their true feelings to people and scared of looking whipped so it's a day that makes it okay for cool kids to be cringe and show some love. Haha! Everyday should be Valentine's day :)

COULD I SAY LOVE ANYMORE TIMES?! Love. Love. One more time...love.

To the point. Papa Sam got me a present, how pathetic am I?! He's actually the cutest dad everrrrr. EVER. One of the reasons why I'm not a bitter singleton on vday is because I know no one at this age is even half as good as him so why would I settle.

Too many people settle for any partner because all their friends have one, or because of pressure but I don't see the point.There's nothing wrong having standards, it doesn't make you stuck up (like some boys would like to think for consolation).
Not talking about flings and hook ups but in a serious relationship you should definitely be selective to save yourself wasting your youth!
If you want a 6" billionaire then find him, or if you just want a funny and genuine guy then wait, he's out there. And you're totally worth it!! Don't sell yourself short. In the mean time don't take boys so seriously!! Have fun! 

Around half of the couples I know cheat anyways because they've settled for the wrong person and because of the age.
Probably why 1/2 marriages end in divorce too.
 So do what you want, when you want!! Don't always listen to people's advice, and base who you pursue on their opinion alone, after all it's your choice and happiness that will be affected!
 But obviously have some tact because honestly, for most people, games work. But too much you 'll end up sending the wrong signals.

* The 1975: Pure Genius *

Who are The 1975?

The 1975 are a quartet of geniuses who are swiftly rising to fame. They pride themselves on having an eclectic genre; a mix of r'n'b, indie and pop. My favourite genres! They're perfect. The 23 year old lads have been friends since school, skipping PE lessons to express rebellion and instead, formed a band. A school councillor encouraged all students to start bands and from then on The 1975 were born. Wait no, that's a lie. These boys have kept their fans on their toes, changing their name FOUR times...The big sleep, Drive Like I do, Talk House and now The 1975. They settled with this when Matty was haunted by the random discovery of suicidal confession etched on the back of a poetry book, given to him in Ibiza as he was passing by a farm house, titled  "1 June.The 1975", its eerie contents exposing the owners plummet to insanity greatly impacted Healy, and so this is when The 1975 were formed.


Matthew Healy: Vocals and Guitar
Adam Hann: Guitar
George Daniel: Drums
Ross MacDonald: Bass

Stalking their every movement and interview, the correlation is that Matty tends to do the groups interviews coming across as genuinely "humbled" by the successes of their now not so "underground"  band who feel passionately that they do not want to "subscribe to the traditional mould of what a band should sound like". 

Originally the boys are from Manchester, however Matt was born in London and drummer Daniel was born in Brussels.

Matty in Southend! Before the gig they played at Chinnery's.

 



  





Matty's infamous black slouchy hoody should be sold everywhere. You'd expect a rock star to be chugging from the bottle. Nope. He felt like showing his classy side with ONE glass of rosé. Maybe because he wanted to remember an amazing night in Essexxx eh ehhhh, but most probably to savour the moment when he serenaded "robbers" to moi. (Robber's is from when the band were called Drive Like I Do)  Did you know it's a love song too? My favourite bit is the opening line "she had a face straight out a magazine" - Oh Matty, you're so subtle ;)

SOOOOOOOOOOO, if you haven't noticed, Ebony and I are both wearing leather. Why? Because we thought it'd cool if we matched. Actually, it is a trend in Japan for friends to co ordinate outfits, however that's not what went down. Wearing leather to a gig is a rule of the centuries so it's not surprising that we coincidently rocked this fabric. We've worn it quite differently though.

Leather immediately has sexy connotation, so you don't need to sex it up any more. So I paired it with a rocky, red checked, buttoned up shirt because the casualness softens the sexiness. Rolling up the sleeves makes everything a bit more edgier too, but instead of doing a 3 quarters sleeve, I wanted to make it look cute but still cool so I rolled it to a school boy summer shirt length. For those who are a bit more girly than grungy, then a skirtttt is a good way to do a sexy leather trend, whilst still being you. 

POSING CAN BE TIRINGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Ebony chose to wear high waisted shorts because they're more practical. When you're moshing you don't want your skirt rising and flashing you little bot bot..or do you?! The shorts lengthened Eb's 5ft 8" physique as the black focuses on each leg with the material individually hugging her tight. Black high wasted shorts have also made her legs look longer as the block of black means the eye travels from toes past the hip, finishing to her waist, thus extending her already long legs! Good trick to know baby.

I'm sporting burgundy knee highs to not look like a prozzie. Ironic I know. But if I didnt cover my legs then the tights and leather skirt on its own would be too..too exposing.

Jesus, look at Ebony's pins. Her secret; she loves to dance!

Laugh your way though li..fashion. FASHION IS FUN. 

KISS HER QUICK.

MAKE UP

Ebony is rocking a vampy violet lippy from Mac costing £9. She just goes to show that fair skin wont be washed out by such a deep and striking hue. But this look wouldn't have worked if she didn't complement the grungy look with black Rimmel eyeliner £4. Think about it, imagine if she wore this sultry lipstick with shimmery shadow or natural eye make up! It wouldn't work. Don't be afraid of wearing extra make-up, there's a difference to looking fakecake and made up. Sometimes more make up is needed to complete a look. Plus, it's acceptable when you're out on the raz.

JEWELLERY TO ENTICE THE BOYS.
Layer up long necklaces to create a heavy, chunky effect. It will harden the cute skirt and girly bowed tights. Rememeber the more jewellery the more gangster you are. Clearly. So don't go over the top...what am I saying, you can never go wrong with too much jewellery. Do Coolio proud!




Who wear's the fedora the best ;)



Matty stealing a kiss! Naughty boy. And look at him touching my hand...he wants me.



The 1975 followed us because they love our style!



Love them even more because they can rock leopard print.
