SWIM DEEP.

 

April 2nd 2015, I got to see my favourite indie band. Swim Deep were back in Birmingham at The Oobleck and of course I went to see them! For those of you who haven't heard of Swim Deep they are an Alternative Indie Pop band from Birmingham which is also where im from! I'm so in love with their music and a lot of my style inspiration comes from them. I must say I adore the clothes they wear! The Oobleck is located next to Alfie Birds @ The Custard Factory in Digbeth. Digbeth in itself is a pretty indie scene filled with unpopular popular bands and colourful street art. The night was incredible- considering we got front row, I held James Balmonts hand and met my favourite Bass Player Cavan McCarthy. My actual concert photos are pretty wild and full of flashing lights and an alien like scene. Austin  (lead singer) introduced the first song as a 'little bit weird' but its stuck in my head and I cannot wait for their new album! My favourite songs from the night were

 

King City

To My Brother

Honey

Fueiho Boogie
Red Lips I Know

LATE NIGHT TRIPS.

Hello. So this is quite an overdue post. I remember taking these photos about 1-2 weeks ago and I completely forgot about them! I didn't want them to go to waste even if the New Year is right here and Christmas has passed! These are taken at the Custard Factory which is definitely an amazing place to take photos- even at night. It looked super pretty with all the lights on and the trees lit up! My outfit is pretty simple but perfect to keep warm during these colder months! I'm in love with this camel coat and perhaps wear it with every single one of my outfits! My scarf is from New Look and I have plenty of tartan scarfs as they are so wintery and gorgeous!

CITY OF COLOURS.

Hi guys! How you doing? This weekend I went to the City of Colours festival which takes place in Digbeth. Digbeth is in Birmingham and its building up a cool reputation as the new Shoreditch. As many of you know I go to the Custard Factory a lot. A LOT. Surprisingly it was mostly held at the Custard factory! I also popped into my favourite shop COW Vintage but not for long as I just wanted to see all the art! Many Street artists from around the world came here to show their amazing talent! I'm so jealous of their creative flare- I wish I could do what they do. The weather was incredible for it and the atmosphere was just to good! Hundreds of people were even maybe even thousands but it was so brilliant. There was an indoor market which sold a range of different things and we made some cheeky purchases! We had lunch at this BBQ type place and it was yummy! I still cant get over how extraordinary some art actually is. Some artists that are my favourite we: Gent 48, C3, D7606, Golden Boy, Jimmy C, Liskbot and Inkie. If you don't know who they are check them out as their work is amazballs.

 

What I wore?

THE VIEW FROM THE AFTERNOON

Choker: Ebay

Paris Top: A random street stall in Paris

Mom Jeans: Urban Outfitters

Check Shirt: New Look

Watch: Urban Outfitters

Today is a kind of Outfit post. I went to Digbeth with my very talented Father to find some Street art and take a few Pictures of my outfit. I love Digbeth because of its Art and all the Vintage shops around it. Not long from now is going to be The City of Colours Festival in Birmingham which takes place at The Custard Factory. Obviously im going to go. I love this outfit because its so comfy and I think it incorporates Old and New. The jeans are very 90's, and as I was watching Friends, Rachel has the same jeans so im happy with that. Moving on, this watch doesn't leave my wrist. Urban Outfitters watches are the best! I've really been into Photography of Street art myself so its quite good having a dad interested as well because you get to go to cool places!

CUSTARD

The Art surrounding the area is completely and utterly incredible!



This is COW Vintage - most amazing vintage store I've been in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello lovelies! Its abit picture heavy but I just wanted to take my camera out and take as

many snaps as I could so that's exactly what I did! Today I went to Birmingham...again but I had quite a good, interesting time! So I'm a lover of vintage and creative things especially clothes and in a previous post I have been here and that would be called the Custard Factory! I went last time on a Sunday so a lot of places were closed and there wasn't really a good vibe... From people! So I went today which is a Tuesday and it was amazing! There are so many vintage shops selling clothes, vinyl's and furniture! There's the very infamous COW Vintage which is probably my favourite shop and then there's Urban Village Vintage Store and this sells clothes and vinyl records! There are restaurants, skate shops but the Coolest thing about it is the street art and creative decoration around the area! It's a great place for photography and I used it for that purpose today! There are different characters - by that I mean people's style! The way to describe it is cool! You should definitely go to The Custard Factory if your ever in Birmingham!
