On Saturday, I met Sinead on a cute trip to Brick Lane, where we saw some live music and talked about fun things and looked round the shops. We also bumped into Dani and some pals momentarily which was strange but sweet~~~
Sinead and I went to Rough Trade and some vintage shops, talking about art and FKA Twigs and it was super lovely and sunny!! We then spontaneously walked into a Pop-Up shop and Sinead Harnett and MNEK were singing there; we watched both sets and they were both soo good~ we spoke to them after, which was so fun because they were really friendly. We also wandered around some clothes and record stores and Sinead's outfit was too cute <33
I took lots of photos of our day:

All in all it was a very beau day and great to meet Sinead!1 Check out her blog because her little drawings are the sweetest, most on-point thing ever ~~ The End -G
Everyone can send me letters, especially people who aren't from the UK because its so weird thinking about someone's written letters going all round the world to eachother. Letters are more of a novelty now that technology is so advanced so I really like talking to people this way and its super cute so if we have similar interests or you just want to say something then please please send me an email requesting my address.
The other day I watched Lost in Translation,which is a movie about ''a neglected wife (Scarlett Johansson) and a failing film star (it's Bill Murray, you have to watch it because he's brilliantt) meeting in Tokyo and sharing an unlikely bond'' -at least, that's how IMDb describes it. It was so cute, I loved it and the ending was perfect. (Although I felt I should have been really unsatisfied with it.) My favourite scenes were when Scarlett Johansson just sits by her hotel window and looks at the view because it's so amazing looking down at Tokyo from so high up. The city lights and late night/early morning scenes create a quiet, sleepy atmosphere, and (because I am obsessed with movie soundtracks) all the music they chose for it fit it so perfectly. My new favourite songs from the soundtrack, that I think really sum up the film are:
Just Like Honey - The Jesus and Mary Chain Alone in Ktoyo - Air More Than This - Roxy Music The whole thing felt very muffled and tired, which I really liked because it expressed the mood of the two main characters perfectly, and seeing as it is set in the middle of a very busy city, was greatly contrasted. I literally know nothing about Tokyo and it all seems so foreign and far away, which was exactly what the theme of Lost in Translation is, so I found it really easy to relate to. In conclusion, this is now one of my favourite films and I recommend it to anyone. It was the perfect movie to watch late at night and fall asleep to, (which is how I first watched it) but it's not boring at all, so go watch it.
The other day I got a text from a friend 'watch Moonrise Kingdom, its very 'you'.' and seeing as I was looking for an excuse to put off my homework (which I seem to mention in almost every post, sorry) I watched it. I was a bit put off by the fantasy-like title but I think it's badly chosen, because it makes the film sound a lot more childish than it actually is, like Bridge to Terabithia or something. It's the cutest story about a boy scout and a girl who live on a small American island in the 60s running away together on an adventure and falling in love. It sounds quite cliche, I know, but it was so good- the outfits and whole feeling of the film right down to what the girl takes in her suitcase and her favourite books was perfect. If you liked 'Submarine' and are a fan of Wes Anderson, American 60s fashion and culture and french music, you will love this. The only category that I fit into is liking Submarine and maybe the fashion side, and I still thought it was awesome, so here are some pictures of it I found on tumblr.. Listen to Le Temps De L'amour by Francoise Hardy
And if the photos don't persuade you, I hope the trailer does:
Then I decided to try and make up an outfit from my wardrobe that went with the whole Moonrise Kingdom vibe, which was cool because it meant I picked out items in my cupboard I haven't worn for ages seeing as I wasn't channeling my own style, so here are the photos: (I feel like binoculars are the new fashion accessory.. can we make this a thing?)
Vintage Tudormatic camera, Antic Hay by Aldous Huxley, notebook, Belgian matches and binoculars.
Decided to get out my old scout shirt too (boots and jeans are Topshop)
Dress-Topshop, Socks-Brora, Shoes-Converse, and binoculars are vintage.
Appreciate the real daisies in my hair, I went out and picked those for you #dedicatedblogger..
