My First Gig (went a little like this)

On the 30th of April 2014 I attended my first ever gig, it was MCBUSTED, and I'd reccomend it to anyone who likes giant inflatable breasts and balls flying everywhere - all will be explained in due course.
I attended with 5 of my closest friends Jess, Lucie, Beef/Elizabeth,Rosie and Annie, what I didn't know until I got there is that none of them appear to know more that 3 McFly or Busted songs *scoffs* disgraceful!
I arrived late as usual but not too late to miss any of the three support acts. I loved the first two acts "Young Brando" and "E of E" and I wish them all the success in the world .The final group "The 3 Dudes" were good but they annoyed me. I don't know whether it was the fact that they had achieved so much more than me at such a young age, they were literally 12, or the fact that one of them twerked. I did like that they all looked like ex disney stars though, the twins of the band both looked like 'Rico' from Hannah Montana and the third brother looked like a Sprouse twin. I'm sure they're gonna make me eat  my words though, after they've hit puberty that is, that was harsh I'm sorry fellas.

After an hour and a half of support acts McBusted themselves came on accompanied by the Delorean and a shit tonne of pyrotechnics. They sang all the classics, Year 3000, Crashed the Wedding, Obviously etc but there was one song they played that I didn't know. Its called Nerdy and I'm listening to it right now, if this was one of their big songs I apologise for not knowing it, I was only 5 when they broke up though.

We were sitting around 210 or 211, and although the giant sports balls didn't reach past level 1 - so no impromptu catch session for us, was actually pretty decent seating so props to First Direct Arena and Jess's mummy for that. Well apart from for Beef who kept dropping her already broken glasses, on the floor, in the dark so the poor kid couldn't see half the show. I say kid but she is older than me as is everyone else in the group I went with. 

But at that I think everyone felt like a kid, there's just something about McFly and Busted that makes you feel nostalgic even though McFly are still going strong 10 years on. They make you feel innocent and young even though you're surrounded by drunk people and there's 3 inflatable tits hanging from the ceiling, referencing the triple breasted who swim around town in Year 3000.

I definitely want to go to more gigs in the future but maybe with a little bit less famous bands though 'cause then tickets would be cheaper - although its well worth the money -  and you get to be a lot closer to the action.

I'll do an outfit of the night soon, and apologies for the poor quality pictures, my phones a poop.

Lots of love Mary xo

BooHoo.com Haul

Boohoo is my favourite online store because everything is reasonably priced and they have a very varied range of clothes and accessories. They're great for basics such as plain white tees but also do exciting statement pieces. I recently ordered a bunch of stuff from there for spring and a few items for the gym, which i have still yet to join, I will do soon I promise.

Ria Fedora - £8

This was a bit of a scary buy for me, I'm not usually a hat person but this year

 I'm trying to be more adventurous clothes-wise, this adventurous streak also

 lead to buying skort (wow so wild). It looks lovely and boho-ish on but can be

 worn with almost any style of outfit. I don't recommend wearing it while its 

windy though.

                                                           Nicole Crop Tops - £4 

These are a bit boring, I know, but I would absolutely class them as wardrobe essentials for anyone even those afraid of showing a bit of midriff as you can wear them with high waisted skirts or trousers without the hassle of tucking in a full length t-shirt without looking scruffy. The one pictured is "Charcoal " and I also ordered a "White" one.

                                                                      Neon shorts - £6

These shorts are my gym purchase (which i have since joined since writing the intro, because this post has been sitting in my drafts for about a month). They're a lot brighter than they look online but not so bright that its offensive, I should've really guessed this from their name. They're also quite see-through so I'd recommend wearing pink knickers underneath. If any of you can think of ways to wear these everyday rather than just to workout, please comment them below.

Midi Skirt - £8

Elegance for eight quid is hard to come by, but I think this skirt brings a hint of class to any outfit, well more than a mini-skirt would. Also when wearing this I only have to shave halfway up my legs BONUS ! My big question though is, is it acceptable to wear vans with this. Pleeeease say it is.

Thanks for reading lovelies xo
