Yesterday at One Direction was absolutely insane. Literally one of those things that overwhelmed me. In fact I cried a little bit about how happy so many people in that arena were. It was the first time I really connected with One Direction fans on a personal level as I feel a lot of people (me included) brush them off as a bunch of obsessives. Like, I love music but I’ve never had such as strong connection with a little bit of music as some of the girls (and guys… and mums and dads) had with a band like those people have with One Direction. For the first time I actually got it. I’ll post more about it over the next few days including my vlog I filmed!
Today me, Zoe and Victoria had a lazy day wandering around Manchester, having breakfast at this place called Moose Coffee and just generally chatting. Victoria is absolutely lovely and a total babe - you have to check her out if you’re not familiar with her! I didn’t really pack many clothes so I threw on my classic White Pepper Dress and my new favourite shoes from Boohoo. I’m also wearing a backpack from Urban Outfitters which is a strange but welcome addition to my wardrobe as I never thought I’d pull one off! I do love it to bits though!
Im exhausted mentally and physically and Im just like super overwhelmed with life right now. Im supposed to be having next week “off” before my summer of madness begins, but I still have so much to do. Im pretty much away every weekend going forward for the next three months including a ton of other bits and bobs during the week. I love the summer as its the time I get to do all the things I love to do - see music and travel. I’m feeling very blessed about the opportunities I’ve had in my life since starting my journey as a blogger. Life is strange and amazing all at the same time.
I live near Manchester <3

At the beginning I had an issue with One Direction (although it may have been more of an issue with Simon Cowell than the lads themselves) but now I realise they're just guys doing what they love. Some of their fans do freak me out but in all fairness, a lot of musicians have those fans who stand outside their hotels and faint when they see them. I mean, some people are willing to pay $900 to stand side stage at a 30 Seconds To Mars concert so at least it's not just One Direction fans.

These photographs are gorgeous! I really want to get a Canon as I just don't think my Nikon is good enough.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all goes well. I guess sometimes, despite planning ahead and doing all you can to be prepared, sometimes it's equally good to just wing it.
These glasses suit you and I'm loving the length of your hair as well.
