Electric Picnic Baby!

Disappointing news this week as Slane 2012 is not happening! I was very much hoping for a Coldplay headliner after all the rumours but alas it's not to be, this year anyway. With no Slane or Oxygen it seems it's all about Electric Picnic this year.

I for one am not complaining as the line up for this is pretty damn impressive. The Cure... seriously cool English Rock band that have been going strong since 1976. Yes there have been a few changes as front man Robert Smith is the only constant member. Their alternative rock quirky sound is not to be missed and they are sure to be one of the main highlights. Really hope they play Close to Me.

Ed Sheeran is also playing EP. His music... I just love it. My friends are seriously sick of listening to me rave on about him. From the angsty "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" to the sensitive "Kiss Me" Mr Sheeran is truly unique. I was lucky enough to see him in the Roisin Dubh last year and he is just amazing live!

That's not all. The Killers, Elbow, Glen Hansard, Hot Chip and Christy Moore among many others are set to appear at this year's Electric Picnic. It may be four months away but hey it's great to have something to look forward to, right! I'm a broke student at the moment but fingers crossed I'll be in the money for the first weekend in September. Festival fashion too... love it! Wellies, headbands, clashing prints, denim, tie dye, leopard print, leather, statement jewellery... it's all about the crazy!!

Shoes shoes and more shoes!

For anyone following this blog you have probably notices that shoes are a common theme and this post is no exception. I love shoes, well I love fashion in general but going through my purchases of late I have noticed more shoes have appeared in my wardrobe as opposed to anything else.

I am a devoted member of the 'high heels are a girl's best friend' school for I believe they can completely transform an outfit. A simple white shirt and black leather leggings look pretty great when topped off with black shoeboots or a simple pair of courts.

So back to my shoe wardrobe. I have one pair of Christian Louboutins. They are hot pink and I bought them to go with a dress for my 21st. However looking back I think I should probably have invested in a black or nude pair as I would have gotten more wear from those colours. That said, I adore them and they are simply fabulous!

Now onto my most recent shoe purchase. I work part time in River Island. Not sure if this is a blessing or a curse. I might stay fashionable but it definitely doesn't help my bank balance! These little booties I felt were justified. They go with so many outfits and are so comfy!! I love the fringe detailing and the aztec print is very current.

Let me know what you think guys :)

Love is what dreams are made of

My blog has been neglected of late, not intentionally of course but with so much going on with work and college, family and friends... there really isn't enough time! Now that I have a couple of spare weeks I'm trying to catch up with friends. Part time work of course and the challenging task of coming up with an engaging thesis idea, which I really need to devote time to.
 Slowly but surely, this motto always frustrated my impatient nature but it does ring true. I've been freaking out a little lately, wondering did I make the correct career choice as the economy is pretty disastrous right now but I think so. I believe in fate as cliched as it sounds. If I hadn't chosen the path I did I would always and for ever have wondered "what if". It is up to us to make our dreams reality.
