<br />
This song makes me cry pretty much every time I listen to it, but that's probably why I love it so much.<br />
<br />
It creates such an amazing atmosphere with tension filled pauses, big piano feels and beautiful voices and lyrics. This is one to pull at your heartstrings for sure (if it doesn't you must be made of stone!).<br />
<br />
Also big respect to <a href="http://www.crownsandowls.com/">Crown&Owls</a> who directed the video.<br />
<br />
If you are able to see them this weekend at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1520452774848103/">The Great Escape</a> in Brighton I am eternally jealous. Otherwise you'll see me in front of the stage at the next gig I know they are doing in London in September! Link to deets <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/618980804863302/">here.</a><br />

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/" target="_blank">Clarks</a> AW14 press day. It was really fun and gave me the chance to check all the new styles that are going to drop in August this year, and what people are going to be walking around for our many months of English Winter!<br />
<br />
They had everything from, Men's, Women's, Children's to the Originals collections. I always thought the Originals would always be my favourites (and they were AMAZING!), but I was seriously impressed with <a href="http://www.orlakiely.com/" target="_blank">Orla Kiely</a>’s (the queen of prints!) second collection with the brand.<br />
<br />
<b>Renowned for her love of colour, pattern and texture, Kiely has taken her contemporary spin on 60s and 70s design and created a capsule collection of six styles. Weaving classic rich autumnal tones of burgundy, ochre and red, with bold silhouettes and unexpected textures, the collection is undeniably trend led, yet appeals to the wardrobe needs of every modern woman.</b><br />

From the <a href="http://www.clarks.co.uk/originals" target="_blank">Clarks Originals</a> range I immediately fell in love with the collaboration done with <a href="http://patternity.org/" target="_blank">PATTERNITY</a>. The Pattern Specialists have taken Clarks most iconic style – the Desert Boot and put their own unique twist on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Described as ‘resolutely non-cliché’, PATTERNITY founders Anna and Grace have applied another one of their specially designed patterns to the Desert Boot. Using a bold lacquered geometric print on black or white suede, the result is both timeless and timely; an ultra-modern, monochrome interpretation of a truly original silhouette.</b><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZHylRpOTfI/U2AjD66sj3I/AAAAAAAACeI/ud6n78NwEqA/s1600/Desert+Pattern+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9ZHylRpOTfI/U2AjD66sj3I/AAAAAAAACeI/ud6n78NwEqA/s1600/Desert+Pattern+1.jpg" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>

If you haven’t listened to Los Angles based artist Banks by
now, then you are missing out on some seriously good music.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her songs sound like a mix between a sexy female The Weeknd
and a dancey Lana Del Ray, with influences from Lauryn Hill and Fiona Apple. I
can’t get enough of her first EP - London, which has been produced by some
seriously rad producers, including SOHN and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Warm Water</i> is one
of my favourite tracks (I pretty much love them all!) and has been described as “baby making music” by TEED,
which I totally agree with! haha</div>

Make sure you listen to this amazing female. And if you are
lucky enough to have tickets to her tour this month I am eternally jealous.</div>

Local Natives<br />
<br /></div>
Last weekend I went to city festival <a href="http://gatheringfestival.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Gathering</a> in Oxford. I wasn't really expecting that much as it was only the second year it's been put on, but I was pleasantly surprised and definitely put in my place when I saw how well run it was and the great musicians that played there.<br />
<br />
With 7 stages split over 6 intimate venues, you were always up close and personal with any band you went to see and that element really did make it a special event to attend, and you can see why it has been shortlisted for 'Best New Festival' and 'Best Metropolitan Festival' at the UK Festival Awards.<br />
<br />
My favourite stage had to be the East Oxford Community Centre, which had a great mix of eclectic bands and singer-songwriters. We saw my boyfriend's friend perform there under his stage name <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MrDcproducer/videos" target="_blank">D/C</a> and it was pretty special, a beautiful mix of personal songs and standout covers. Another great band was Oxford locals <a href="http://candysays.it/" target="_blank">Candy Says</a>, who got the crowd dancing (especially some crazy kids right at the front!).<br />
<br />
And of course the two headline acts - <a href="http://www.londongrammar.com/home/" target="_blank">London Grammar</a> and <a href="http://thelocalnatives.com/" target="_blank">Local Natives</a>, really made the festival one you didn't want to miss. London Grammar was a one in one out affair and Local Natives put on a great show with old album classics and new album favourites.<br />
<br />
I'll be heading back to this perfect autumnal festival next year for sure!<br />

A couple weeks ago I went to the Desigual New York Fashion Week catwalk live streaming show that took place at their flagship London store. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it definitely went way above my expectations!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had a champagne and cosmopolitan cocktail and popcorn reception, which was was followed by the live streaming of the show with complimentary burgers and cupcakes with more drinks! I think the Desigual SS14 range is going to be really good, especially since I'm not usually into their kind of style. The monochrome pieces were the winners for me.</div>

I really love reading other bloggers DIY posts and scouring Pinterest for amazing DIY pins, but truth be told I'm not that hot at doing DIY projects myself, you know the <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/newu1085/17-pinterest-fails-654m" target="_blank">nailed it memes</a>? Yeah that's me. So this DIY post is for the simple and short attention span DIYers among us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been getting bored with my iPhone case for a little while. My massive Hello Kitty case just wasn't doing it for me anymore and I couldn't find a decent cheap one I liked on eBay. But a couple of weeks ago I got a beautiful package of goodies from the Confetti Monster (or Jaclyn- her human name) who has a shop on Etsy called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ConfettiBandits" target="_blank">Confetti Bandits.</a> Along with my order Jaclyn had thrown in a bunch of free Moonrise Kingdom inspired stickers which I adored but couldn't think where to stick them. Until my 2 predicaments had a car crash in my mind...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I brought a cheap iPhone case from <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360656080536?var=630122179809&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank">eBay for 99p</a>:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I grabbed my lovely stickers:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I played around with the placement until I was happy & stuck them on:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My dad had a bit of clear sealant lying around the garage so I used that to make sure the stickers weren't going anywhere (I'm sure a coating of clear nail varnish would be good too?). So yeah really easy but sometimes we all need a bit of inspiring :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

A couple weekends a go we headed down to Brighton to help our friend Sarah celebrate her 24th birthday. I love going to Brighton it's always really fun and if you go to the non-commercial clubs (I'm looking at you Oceana!) then you might be surprised at how good the independent clubs are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For dinner we went to Donatello's that is an ace Italian restaurant that's really cheap too, I had tagliatelle with spinach and bacon in an amazing sauce. I'm not usually a pasta person, but this was so gooooooooood. After we went to our fave bar that we ALWAYS go to, called The Mesmerist, it's like a 1940s bar with the best cocktails. And then we went to a club called The Tube which is right on the seafront and under the arches- great success!</div>

I don't usually shop at Wallis, but I really like this shirt, it's like a sheer material with a gold paisley print on it. It's pretty loose fitting which looks good leggings/jeans etc, but I tied a knot in the front so you could see my sparkly shorts :P</div>

Bonjourno, mon petit freres!</div>

How are we all doing? Embracing this glorious weather I hope! I have been, even if it has just been sitting in my garden attempting to soak up some rays!</div>

This is what I decided to wear today, pretty casual and got my some strange looks when I went into Stevenage to get a birthday present for a friend (I don't think they 'get' space cats in Stevenage). I decided to wear my platform converse sneakers, since now it's not all wet and rainy they will stay looking fresh and clean. Now don't get me wrong I love these shoes like they were my real life darling baby (since it took me sooooo long to find the perfect pair and I was so chuffed when I got them for less than half price in the sales) but mannnn after a few hours walking they don't half start to bite at my upper heels. Any other fellow platform sneaker wearers have any remedies? Should I lace them tighter or looser or is there someway to break in the backs of them, without ruining them of course!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And they do make my feet look superrr long too but I can deal with that ;)</div>

I've seen a few other bloggers on their blogs and instagram daring to bare their legs in the last week or so but I wasn't brave enough until today and I'm so glad I have now. Wearing my black tights was making my wardrobe seem about 10 times more wintery than it is, so not wearing tights has given me so many more outfit ideas :)<br />
<br />
Once I had stopped staring out of my window and thanking the sun gods, I immediately started rifling through my wardrobe to find a suitable dress. I decided on my panther skater dress from Topshop because 1. I haven't worn it in ages and 2. I didn't want to scare the sun away by whacking out my most summery sun dress!<br />
<br />
I <i>had</i> to pair it all with my favourite mint pieces at the moment, I might have over-worn the cardigan already haha, but they matched the panther's eyes and I bloody love ankle socks, so it's allllll good.<br />

Grunge Goth<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just a quick little post for you guys showing you how I styled my most recent purchases, which you can read about in <a href="http://bacontastesnice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/not-really-supposed-to-be-shopping-mini.html" target="_blank">this post here</a>. I really wanted to wear some colour because spring was taking sooooooo long to come around. It seems to have arrived now and I like to think this outfit had something do with that ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also enjoy how cute my spring colours are on top and how grungy and dark my bottom half is, I just love my creepers too much and when summer comes around they are too hot to wear so I'm getting as much out of them now as possible! I can't believe I've had them for 3 years either! Literally the best wearing pair of shoes I've owned, they look like I got them out of the box yesterday.</div>

<br />
I'm not realllllly supposed to buying anything at the moment due to lack of job (anyone out there feel like throwing one my way?! Seriously I don't think I can fill out any more applications without gouging my own eyes out), but decided only looking in the charity shops would be allowed, since you can never really spend too much in them, well unless you buy the whole shop.<br />
<br />
First stop was Isabel Hospice my favourite charity shop in Ware, for some reason it always has the best pieces, like my Jaeger trouser from my last post. Anyway I found this perfect little signet ring, I realise none of my name has a 'D' in it but I couldn't just leave it there for a meagre £3. Also it was the only ring to fit my ridiculously small fingers and it's still too big to fit on my little finger so I have to settle for my ring finger, but it's all good.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Recently opened in Ware is a Vintage Shop/Tea Room called Vintage Wares (clever) so I popped in there to see what I could spy, there were quite a few lovely things including a Topshop navy lace slip dress that I wanted to get my paws on but being £20 was slightly out of my budget, so I settled on a pastel mint cardigan I thought was perfect for spring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next I decided to drive over to the Matalan in Hertford. I get the impression from a lot of people that they really don't like Matalan because they think it's a bit rubbish and only for mumsy mums and old people, but I actually think it's pretty decent. I mean obviously there's the 'old person' parts to it but I usually always find something there I would wear and a lot of their jewellery is on par with Topshop or River Island styles and for a fraction of the price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been searching for a statement necklace for a while now but the afore mention highstreet shops like Topshop's prices have put me off, with some of them reaching over £20-25 for basically a piece of costume jewellery! Anyway I found this beauty in Matalan for £10, it has everything I was looking for- gold and silver chains, pastel hues, spikes, sparkles and glitter. A killer piece I think you'll agree.</div>

DUMDUMDUMMMM!<br />
<br />
It was just something I thought up and wanted to try out just to see if it looked good. The trousers I absolutely adore (though I'm scared they make my hips look wide?!). They are from Jaeger but I got them from a charity shop for about £3, which I am sure you can guess I was ridiculously happy about! I just found a <a href="http://www.jaeger.co.uk/Printed%20Palazzo%20Trousers/730049E,en_GB,pd.html?dwvar_730049E_color=05500&dwvar_730049E_size=8&start=13&cgid=women-trousers" target="_blank">similar pair on their website</a> for £160 so I'm even happier now! The blazer is from Wallis and I think it's great, comfy but looks good enough for work and basically who doesn't like polkadots!<br />
<br />
Anyway this was a hit or miss attempt at print clashing but within the monocrome trend. Usually I'm a bit obsessed with getting colour into my outfits so it was quite challenging for me to try and get the same amount of interest into my outfit without relying on colour.<br />

How were people's Easter weekends? I went to the Liechtenstein exhibition on Friday, which I highly recommend (even for those who 'don't get art!') and to the Up The Creek Comedy Club in Greenwich in the evening for a friend's birthday that was equally brilliant and hilarious. Saturday was filled with coffee drinking and sofa sitting, and wandering around a spookily deserted London. The rest of the weekend were the usual mix of family time and wayyyy too much chocolate :)<br />

A pretty simple Sunday outfit for you guys today! I wore it for a quick shopping jaunt with mumma b, but since I'm on an extreme budget, due to saving for holiday and moving out, I couldn't actually afford to buy anything :'(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However mum brought me two little treats, some mint coloured goodies :) Topshop frilly ankle socks and the new concrete textured nail varnish from Barry M in mint coloured Ridley Road.</div>

At the weekend it was one of my best friend's 24th birthday, however she lives up in Sheffield, so we don't see her much :( But we went up to see her and party for her big day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had the day off work on Friday so we could travel up early and not have to rush too much getting ready and going out. We went out for a crazy cheap Chinese meal first, I think I spent like £7 and got spring rolls and the most massive bowl of satay chicken I have EVER SEEN! Mega tasty too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went out to a night called Bunga Bunga which was on the industrial estate of Sheffield town, at a venue called The Yellow Arches. The night actually happened on Saturday too, but we just went for the Friday (not sure I could have done it 2 nights in a row!).</div>

I was so excited by these shorts! I realise they are pretty much lingerie BUT I did wear v.thick tights- no bum could be seen haha! And it matched so nicely with my shoes and crop, I just couldn't not wear this outfit. It's definitely a favourite now. Now I just need to work out how to style it for summer without getting my whole arse out LOL.</div>

Butttt... I have booked my summer holiday- hooray :D Five girls, two weeks, one Ibiza! Going to be absolutely ridiculous and crazy and brilliant. Only have to wait 5 months haha!<br />
<br />
Here's my outfit from work today, since it's still pretty chilly I'm still wearing big knits and the obligatory tights under leggings and an extra pair of socks just to keep warm! This is probably my favourite jumper at the moment, I got it in the after Christmas sales from Topshop and the gold thread running through it make rather special, I feel a bit like a unicorn or fairy or something! I decided to nip it in at the waist with a cheapy Primark belt just to give my body a bit of shape!<br />

The bow in my hair was an attempt to keep my hair under control and I think it did a pretty good job, especially since it's just a piece of cutoff material. Work is crazy busy at the moment too, all the lovely new collections for Spring and Summer are being delivered and are being put in store and online. Busy busy bee!</div>

A couple weeks ago me and some friends went up to Nottingham to help celebrate one of their little sister's 20th birthday.<br />
<br />
On the way up we stopped off at OK Diner on the A1 and I had the most amazing peanut butter and chocolate milkshake, it was insanely delicious. If you ever need a pitstop driving on the A1 then I highly recommend it.<br />

While in Nottingham I did a tiny bit of shopping at local vintage/charity shop, where I got a quilted coat originally from River Island for £8!!! And the crazy 80's shirt I am wearing for £4.<br />
It was a really fun night, including running around the club raging, lots of crazy dancing and general drunk antics! RL Grime was playing and was ridiculously good, hence the dancing (which hopefully burned off all the alcohol calories haha).<br />

This is an outfit I wore to the pub the other evening, pretty simple really! I got the leather jacket for Christmas which I was really chuffed about :) Well actually I got it in the Boxing Day sales after Christmas because I couldn't decide on a leather jacket before Christmas! But it was lucky really since it was half the price in the sales, so better for the 'rents :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I'm wearing jeans! Who would have thunk it, I hardly ever ever wear jeans, but this pair from New Look are my new favourites, not that I had a pair of favourite jeans before...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh and the flatform converses were from the Boxing Day sales too, so glad I didn't buy a pair before, otherwise I would have spent double on them.</div>

I have no excuse other than laziness and Christmas/New Years events taking over my life and then the inevitable slump and blues that comes with January! But January is almost over and I'm motivating myself to get back on the blogging train- YAY!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You might remember my<b> <a href="http://bacontastesnice.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/comfy-style-gwynedds-aw-2012.html">last post on Gwynedds</a></b>- a premium casual and luxury basics brand from Germany and I wrote about some of my favourite pieces. Well they have just released their Spring and Summer collection for 2013 and it's looking really great and I wanted to share some of my favourite pieces with you all again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They describe their SS collection as-</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>"Keeping with their easy-wear aesthetic and focus on comfort dressing, <span style="background-color: white;">the new season sees the brand add to their loungewear basics with skirts, silk and sparkles, to create a collection that works day to night. The pieces are designed to be layered and styled your way, with different ways to </span><wbr style="background-color: white;"></wbr><span style="background-color: white;">combine and wear the range. A palette of muted brights make the new collection summer-ready, or great for injecting a touch of zest in to these early Spring days."</span></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My favourite pieces are:</span><br />

blogging community is the opportunity to discover new brands, stores and
products I would have never come across before, either through my own blog or
reading others. And last week was no exception as I was introduced to a great
brand I probably </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12px;">wouldn't</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 9pt;"> have come across on my own.</span></span><br />
