Birthday Suit

If I ever needed an excuse for a new dress (and trust me, I don't) then my birthday is a good a reason as any. Me and my friends were celebrating my 23rd in Leeds and I was set on finding something colourful for the occasion and so hot-footed it into Topshop.

And this happened...

Six items later I had the one.

I figured, hey if you want something colourful why not go all out in neon orange?! I'd tried the same playsuit on in a lovely blue but it just didn't have the same effect. Its from the Love label at Topshop (Sadly, I can't find a link online) and I just fell in love with the cut. Nipped in at the waist, flared at the shorts & with boning providing the shape at the front I have a feeling this will see me through many a summer.

22

It was my birthday on the 21st and I have just been sat thinking what a good year 22 has been in my life.

I've fed penguins, watched my sister marry the man she loves, been to Thailand and seen some elephants, got my first tattoo, had more drunken nights with my best friends than I can mention, been to the iTunes festival, spent a week living the life in London and getting to go to a Hollywood press conference amongst other things, seen John Mayer twice, spent time in my favourite places in Northumberland with my favourite people, been to Wembley to watch my team play in a final and made stacks of memories with the people I love. I am so very lucky.

Mutineers

David Gray - Mutineers

It’s been 21 years since David Gray’s stripped-back debut album A Century Ends and the 46-year old Manchester singer-songwriter returns with his 11^th studio album Mutineers.  He continues to offer fans a different sound with his latest release being much less acoustic, yet he manages to retain the infamous heartfelt lyric Gray is famous for. Lead single and album opener Back in the World hits with its catchy drumbeat, while title track Mutineers has that high-low tone he has perfected. Fans will be happy to hear romantic anthems Last Summer and Snow in Vegas, along with sombre Birds of the High Arctic.
