Pastels. I love them.

They look good enough to eat, always look sweet and on hair, makeup, clothes and even exteriors they can be worked. Pastel hair is somthing that I LOVE at the moment, and pastel purple lipstick is somthing that I have been working into my daily look.

Summer is here and I'm looking forward to:

1. My holiday in Mauritius.

2. Starting my new job at Costa.

3. Starting my third year at uni.

I have moved into my new flat in Bristol for third year with my two friends Zoe and Ffion, in Cotham/Stokes croft area and I love it. I can't wait to sample more of the culture around the area, for example Meat Liquor and Pocos. I'm excited to have more time to spend on my art, photography and sewing.

Currently this summer I've enjoyed going to El Dorado festival, and T in the park, although I haven't posted much on here recently, I hopefully will keep you guys more up to date!

This fun little exhibition was in order to raise money for the fine art 3rd year degree show, and was a BYOB event so of course I got slightly tipsy!
The evening featured music, spoken word and poetry as well as art work from a number of different artists. I especially enjoyed the variation of different platforms of art, as I am a big fan of expressing yourself in any way you can.

Superfoods Bristol. 21st January.

On Thursday the 21st of January, Superfoods on Park street, the store that pretty much does what it says on the tin, hosted an evening aimed at women featuring samples, makeovers and drinks. I went along with two off my friends to see what it was all about.

When we arrived we were greeted with a glass of champagne, and we then continued to look round the event. We were introduced to lots of different health foods and drinks, the first being "Tapped" which is birch water, as in water from trees! We sampled some of this which was tasty, then continued round the event where we were introduced to Lucy Bee's coconut oil and all the recipes and beauty products you can create with this versatile product!

We then grabbed some peach belinis from the downstairs bar, and carried on looking round the makeup sections. We made our own facemasks, and then queued up to get our nails done, although the queue was so long we gave up! By that time we had had our fair share of free glasses of champagne so we decided to buy some healthy treats from Superfoods, grabbed our goodie bags and headed off.

Bagels!!!!

I went to bagel boy the other day for the first time and it was fab.

We headed to the one in the city centre, although I live near one on Gloucester Road too!

I had a Serrano ham, pesto sauce bagel with a drink and a cookie for FIVE pounds! Me and Naomi also shared parmesan chips. The restaurant was super busy so we had to wait a while for our food, but that just goes to show how popular it is.

From the outside

The bagels were warm, toasty and comforting and the restaurant was decorated in a cool minimalistic style with wooden benches and tables, and the menu written on a chalk board by the bar, and you could also use the little paper menus from the bar. The only bad thing was that because it was so busy, we had to wait a little while for our food and the seating wasn't too comfy. And I was starving. The chips were tasty, crispy and I loved the parmesan on top, a combo I'd never tried before.

Bagel Boy!

3/5 Stars.

Back to Tickenham I go!

So this Christmas, I returned home to my beautiful house in Somerset, and as this was my first winter away from home I was really looking forward to it. I was so happy to see my family and my dog and had the loveliest Christmas in ages. I spent a lot of time with my sister, and also spent lots of time with my friends too. My Bampy and uncle came to visit on Christmas day which made it all the more wonderful!

This Christmas eve, me and my wonderful friends from home decided to carry on our annual boozey crhistmas eve and head to the barn, in Wraxall.

This is the place where I had celebrated my 18th birthday party and is also my grandads faveourite pub! The cosy indoor/outdoor Barn is filled with old fashioned, vintage and Kitsch items and the interior reminds me of being in someone's living room. The cosy outdoor part is my favourite however and features dozens of cosy sofas and armchairs as well as carpets and patio heaters, all covered with a red gazebo style exterior which is year round covered with fairylights! I had my fair share of mulled cider (Country girl at heart) and my friends all joined in too. They also do a wide range of ciders, beers and ales! The atmosphere was bustling with people and we found it hard to even find a seat at first. The Barn is lovely to go as a couple, with friends or with children so it really is something for everyone. Merry Christmas everyone!

So a few weeks ago, my boyfriends flatmate and my friend Will hosted a house party.

At this party, not only did my friends band play, Vidorra, a pop punk four piece Lauren Figurski - Vocals | Kenneth Vestby - Guitar | Will Cross - Bass | Jordan Crowden - Drums (check them out!!!!) but so did Don Broco. My favourite band ever!

The party was covered by kerrang magazine, and was essentially supposed to be a secret and small gig. However a couple of hours later, there were footprints on the ceiling, sofas in the kitchen and the police turned up.

Don Broco were amazing, and super friendly and they were even better this time I saw them compared to last, which was a few years ago, thank you Vidorra and thank you Don Broco!
Keep up with everything Vidorra by checking out their FB page, and catch them in shows all around Bristol.

Banksy, a Bristolian legend. For six weeks, his Dismaland Bemusement park inhabited the abandoned and disused Tropicana in WSM.

Over the summer I visted the Banksy Dismaland art exhibition and "Bemusment park" with my family and my boyfriend and friends. Banksy in his usual extravagant, mysterious and politically astute way ensured that from the artwork to the actors, everything fitted the "Dismal" mood of the park.

The art gallery was a highlight and each piece of artwork seemed to fit the sombre but poignant nature of the from different artists including Damien Hurst and a number of Banksy peices including the disco grim reaper.
