Tunes Day, Tuesday #4

Something a little different for tunes day, this time I will be sharing my top 5 favourite songs that I have found over the past couple of months.

So here we go, my top 5 (in no perticular order):

1. BØRNS - 10,000 Emerald Pools
I instantly fell in love with this song when I first heard it and I'm not going to lie, I did think it was a woman singing but I was wrong, it is a man with an amazing falsetto voice. I get major summer vibes from this song, imagine road trips and beach hangs with good friends. I will definitely have this on repeat to keep some warm thoughts when winter truly sets in.
Listen here or watch the music video here



2. Dorsal Fins - Heart On The Floor
This is another song I loved instantly. It gives off a very 80s vibe and has such a great groove. I always love a bit of funky bass and injects from horns. Totally think 80s roller skating rink with disco balls and a live band.
Listen here



3. Jamie T - Zombie
Okay who doesn't love a good zombie film (or even a bad one really)? And what could go wrong with combining zombies and music, clearly nothing as proved by this song. I think it is good to have songs that have lyrics that are a little jokey but still sound quite serious, it's kind of like a reminder that music can be fun and different (not that it isn't, it's just seems like some songs lack a bit of creativity I guess.) I say yes to more fun songs about zombies!
Listen and watch here (but be warned, there is blood and loss of limbs)



4. Pix - A Way To Say Goodbye
This song is the ultimate dream pop song! You totally get Alice in a Wonderland vibes (the music video certainly emits this). If you like Grimes or FKA Twigs you will love this song, I am all for rad girls with rad style making rad music that is uniquely their own. I really hope she makes some more music soon as this is the only one so far.

5. Josef Salvat - Every Night
This song is just so so good. It is relaxed but still feels empowering and oh so beautiful. I am honestly lost for words with this song. Basically all you need to know is that he has an amazing voice and it is a great song, good vibes all round.
Listen here 


So that's it, that's my top 5 songs from the past few months. I really had to strain myself from choosing more because it would go on forever. So much good music, so little time.
See you soon//

Met Gala 2015, China: Through The Looking Glass

As many would know, yesterday was the Met Gala, and if you didn't you must have avoided all social media, and what an achievement that is. To be honest, I actually had never heard of it until someone at uni started taking about it, (we are fashion students, what can you expect) so I am still not 100% on what it actually is, though from what I can tell it is where designers show off their designs under a theme that changes each year, this year being China: Through The Looking Glass.

Anywho, I thought I would share a few of my favourite dresses and not those I dislike because there is always so much effort put into every design it makes me feel bad hating on things people have put their heart into. Anyway, let's get to it! (All these images are from the Style.com app)

I think this garment is so amazing, I love the cape and the cut out. Black always looks elegant and the white details are just enough to create some interest. 

This is really a love it or hate it kind of dress but I think it is so cool, it's really a walking piece of artwork and who better to wear it than FKA Twigs. I think the colours are what make the dress really stand out against all the other dresses.

These dresses could be seen as really plain and boring but I really like the simplicity of them, sometimes nothing over the top is a good thing.

I. Love. This. Dress! I love the black panels on the sides and the flower design on the front. 

Red is always a classic, I think the laser cut outs are a great alternative to lace which can often give a grandma's curtain vibe. 

Again, I am loving the cape. I always enjoy a bit of embroidery and beading and I think it is executed really nicely.

Who doesn't love a midi length really. I totally love the red satin and the jewels that are in a nice gradient.

 This is such a classic 50s kind of look, I have seen people saying it is very Audrey Hepburn. A sheer blouse and a fit and flare skirt, what isn't to love.

I like the school girl look, it is almost like she wore a uniform to formal/prom and added a tulle skirt underneath. Actually, I think this look would actually look so awesome without the tulle for an everyday look.

Always love a bit of gothic lace. I am unsure if this would look better is it wasn't so sheer, however I do like how you can see all of the detail in the lace.

So there we have it, those were some of my favourite looks from the Met Gala.


(Ps I have no idea on how the format of this post is going to look, as I just got an iPad and I'm posting from there)
