Look At Me! – The Need for Attention

Humans crave attention, whether we care to admit it or not. For some people, this manifests as the desire for fame and fortune, while for others it can be as simple as feeling as though someone is proud of you. But it’s there in all of us, that…

Review – The Pretty Reckless: Going to Hell

(Source) Going To Hell, the second album from The Pretty Reckless, is largely what you’d expect from them. A record infused with rebellion, seduction and attitude. It’s an album full of big sounds, with the powerful vocals are accompanied by lots of soaring, heavy riffs. It has the…

Paris Haul

So, while I was in Paris over the weekend, I decided to do a bit of shopping. I've never done a haul post before, as it's rare that I buy this much in one go, but I haven't been shopping for a long time now, and this might…

You Me At Six – European Youth Tour

You Me At Six are, without a doubt, one of my favourite bands out there at the moment. I’ve seen them twice before, back in the U.K., but it’s been two years since the last time, so I was quick to get hold of tickets for their European…

Review – Natives: Indoor War

The debut album from Natives has been long waited for and highly anticipated for many fans – and the wait has been worthwhile. Previously called Not Advised, the band changed their name prior to releasing any song from their full-length debut, and the name change now makes perfect…

Outfit of the Day – Music & Merchandise

Another gig outfit this week! Again comfort is most important to me for gigs, and as I'm going to see You Me At Six, one of their merch t-shirts seemed like the best choice. Shorts & patterned tights make a change from jeans, without being too fancy, and…

Review – Not Another Happy Ending

Warning: minor spoilers ahead I had mixed feelings about Not Another Happy Ending. Before watching I was unsure whether it would be a typical romantic comedy, or something a little more indie and different; it turned out to be the former. Being about literature, set in Scotland and having…

Fall Out Boy – Live in Paris

Fall Out Boy is a band that have been around for most of my teenage years, and therefore there’s almost a sense of nostalgia attached to them. I was never a huge fan when I was younger, but I’ve come to like them more and more over time…

Outfit of the Day – Concert Comfort

So, this was my outfit of choice for a concert today. I've never understood why some people dress up fancy for them, because no one is looking at you! Comfort is always key, and you can't go wrong with skinny jeans & Converse - I especially love the…

Adventures in Austria

I went to Austria! If you hadn’t already guessed from the title of this post. I had a week off from classes, so I went to visit Bridget, who is on her year abroad in Linz, for a few days. Obviously I haven’t seen her in ages, but…
