Ooh La La Alexa!

Amazing.

She & Him.

Oh they're just perfect summer listening. The new album is on constant repeat here, especially 'Thieves', 'In The Sun', 'Don't Look Back', 'Lingering Still' and 'Home'... (shut up, I had a hard time narrowing it down even to just them)

(Watch the video for their new song 'Thieves' here)

Zooey's style is just perfect too, I had proper eggshell blue wardrobe envy when watching (500) Days of Summer. I never wear blue.

How can a thirty year old woman pull off dressing like a little girl so well?

My Perfect Summer Dress

This week I've had four of my friends from Bournemouth staying with me in my bedroom. It's been fun, but also a bit like when you go on a mini holiday with your family in too-cramped, too-hot caravan...

On their first day up we went and did some proper typical touristy shopping on Oxford St; Urban Outfitters, H&M, American Apparel, Topshop, Beyond Retro, and they bought lots and I got envious and before I knew it I was buying this dress:




         


It's Dahlia and I found it in Topshop, in the concessions department downstairs; the rest was history. I love the Cath Kidston-esque print, the 1950s cut, the canvasy material, all of it.

I gave it its first outing to a gig last night; saw 6 Day Riot preview their new album in the tiny cellar of The Laughing Monkey in Shoreditch which was a really sweet little intimate gig. High high highly recommended!

Hello!

Thought I better quickly introduce myself before I throw myself into this blogging lark.

I'm Emma, I'm nineteen, and I recently moved from my hometown of Bournemouth (seaside town on the south coast) to live in London (captial of-- well, you know) with four of my friends. I've entertained the idea of starting a little blog for a while now, but for various reasons I've never really gotten round to doing it... hoping to change this from today.

Here goes!7
