Midnight Memories- WWA tour Wembley

7th of June I was very lucky to be able to go and watch the One Direction lads at Wembley Stadium and what a bloody treat it was. After waiting over a year for this concert, me and a few of my favourite girls went up to the Big Smoke for a weekend of fun, laughter and of course 1D!!!!

Armed with suitcases, rain coats (appaz there was meant to be a storm!! It never happened) and 1D t-shirts. We made our way (separately) to London. Me and Lisa went up in the morning, so we could spend the day in London, while Kelly and Amy made there way up in the evening.
We spent the weekend in Wembley and what a dive it was! Council estates, run downed buildings and laced with 99p stores! *Hardly Chelsea or Primrose*, but this didn't dampen our moods!! *I mean we are seeing the biggest band in the world*.

I won't bore you with our non One Direction antics, as I'm sure all you want to read about is the concert. So on we go..........
The day of the concert, we decided to have a chilled morning and not rush around, as none of us wanted to spend hours waiting in a queue for a good spot!! We arrived at the stadium around 2ish, surprisingly the queue wasn't to bad and in the end we got an amazing spot and were so close to the stage!

As Wembley erupted with 80,000 screaming girls and boys, it was obvious to see I was apart of something special. The stadium had a sense of fan girl hysteria surrounding it. Several girls around us had collapsed due to the heat and probs the thought the 1D where literally going to be metres away from them.

After spending 2 long dragged out hours waiting for the concert to begin, finally the lights dimmed and out come Australia's answer to One Direction- '5SOS' and to be fair they were incredible, they sang their hits as well as some new material and a cover of Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream'. DEFFO a 5sos fan now.
But now to the main reason we where all there, One Direction stormed onto the stage singing their hit 'Midnight Memories' as Wembley lifted, yes I fan-girled and I'm not even ashamed- never would of thought I would be as bad as I was!!!! *cringe* .
I then literally wanted to keel over as soon as Harry doubled over and growled down the microphone!!!

I also spent the whole concert swooning of Harry's shirt of course it was Lavin, thanks for the clarification @styleonscreen. Love a good vintage looking shirt!!!

Through out the concert I also found a new love for Niall to- When he sang Better Than Words OMG I was lost for words!!!

Of course we were all excited and we had a lot of thoughts processing through are 1D hazed heads before and during the concert such as:  'TODAY IS THE DAY', 'OMG its starting', 'If I scream any louder I will lose my voice', and 'Is that Liam?....Louis?.....Niall?.....Zayn?..... Harry?' (as if we thought we were at some surpise concert.)

One pointer if you're going, some people are psychotic, if you're standing don't leave your spot to go to the toilet, some of the fans are Crrrraaaazzzzyyyyy and will literally be abusive. No need for it!!!


But overall it was Uhhhh-Mazing. Simply was the best concert I have and will ever go to!

23!!!

Monday the 27th was my day of Birth, another year old and wiser and all that!! But I must admit, I am gutted I can no longer sing 22. It's goodbye to Taylor and goodbye to 22, which somewhat scares me, I mean 2 years away from 25 which means i'm nearing 30........... Seriously over-thinking this!!!

Cheeky snap chat pic!

Although 23 was another very spoiled birthday, it also means the end of May *celebrates* , which means my creeeazay summer begins, with a weekend away in London to see a very popular boyband yerrr that's right One Direction time (Yay). Although extremely excited I'm also terrified that I'm going to be in stampede of 12-16 year old girls screaming and gunning for Harry Styles........ God help me!!!!!! 

Then if I come out alive from One Direction, I'm then off traveling Europe with one of my best gal Lisa, so another few weeks of craziness, drinking and exploring Europe!!! So turning 23 has somewhat opened a door of opportunities. Bring on France, Italy, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium!!! 

Keep an eye out for my One Direction blog and travelling.

Last Post Of 2013!!

2013 has well and truly been a whirlwind, going from being a journalism student to the dizzy heights of full time employment which has been an adjustment i'm still not use too,

get me back to 99p jager bombs!!

2013 has consisted of all nighters in the uni libraries, waving goodbye to old friends and saying hello to new, laughing, crying and just general awesomeness!!!

Life has now suddenly been based in Bristol rather than good ole Bath!!

Things in 2013 that I'm 100% going to miss (Uni times) but 2014 is looking so promising already, such as:

One Direction Where We Are Tour at Wembley Stadium.

Travelling Europe with my girl Lisa

Manic weekends away (mainly London)

I hope you all have an amazing New Year and all your dreams come true (fingers crossed for Harry Styles HA!) 

Whatever your plans are for tomorrow evening have fun and enjoy

Lots Of Love

My Surprise 22nd Birthday Party

Visiting Stonehenge

This Is Us

Hi Guys,
One Direction fever has hit me and my gal pals (To be honest I don't think it ever left!!)

So last night me and a couple of girlfriends went to watch the One Direction This Is Us movie!!! and OMG it was Incredible.
We laughed, sang along and maybe shed a tear or two. I was literally rockin out in the cinema!!!

There were young girls wearing 1D t-shirts and masks it was the battle of the directioners who had the best t-shirt or who had the most merchandise. As they glared at eachother, eyeing up the competition. It was brutal.

But onto the film, I was pleasantly surprised to see how down to earth and how 'normal' they were, this just made me love them even more. It made them seem real. I loved seeing the 'real' them and completely fell in love with Harry all over, I love how geeky and funny he is.
The film put into perspective how loved they are, seeing them perform to thousands of screaming girls every night on their tour, to thousands of girls following them when they're trying to shop!! And also seeing their parents, overjoyed for them but at the same time they feel like they're missing out on important stages of their sons transforming from teenagers to men!!!
It was breathtaking, seeing them perform in sold out arenas, as they camera panned over the audience I just sat there in awe and mouthed "that's incredible"

We see the lads comedic side, playing pranks on their security, we watch one of the security guards chase Zayn as he speeds off on his skateboard, we see Harry being carried around and trying to play fight with security. They showed us what prankster they really are.

I challenge anyone who says " I don't like One Direction" to go and see the film, and if you don't fall in love with them you have serious issues!!!

Favourite bit- For me it was 100% Harry rocking out in slow motion!!! That boy is a dream!!

Fair to say me and the girls are now so excited to see them next year. I feel incredibly lucky to be seeing them, I know how in-demand these tickets are and many Directioners would do anything for a ticket!!!

Off the market

Can your hear the sound of millions of young girls hearts breaking???…………….I can

Heart throb Liam Payne from  One Direction has revealed he’s a taken man!! and whilst the Directioners come to terms with what has happened, rumours have it that he’s head over heels with his new gal!

The hunk is said to be moving on from ex girlfriend Danielle Peazer (Goodbye Payzer ) with Sophia Smith. The pair met when attending the same school and have been seen partying together in London hot spot Funky Buddha. Last week Sophia joined Liams family and fellow 1D girlfriends Perry Edwards and Eleanor Calder out in LA to see her boy perform at the Staples Centre.

So what’s the verdict Directioners are we loving this new relationship???

Liam and Sophia

Also….

A rumoured new X factor romance has appeared between Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson and Union J’s George Shelley (I have a soft spot from George, being from Bristol and that). The romance came to the attention of the media when they were spotted at V Festival sharing a kiss in the VIP lounge and were seen getting very close with each other!!!

Again are we loving or hating the Little Mix/Union J relationship???

Let me know your views guys!!!!

I'm feeling 22!!

So it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, i'm now the ripe old age of 22 (sad face). Since hitting 22 I suddenly feel really old and have completely decided against going on any clubbing holidays this year. The whole day I had Taylor Swift's 22 playing and have now decided this is my song until my 23rd Birthday (Much to my friends dismay).
I was such a lucky girl this year, my family spoilt me rotten, my parents gave me money, as they had no idea what to get me (For my 21st they got me a Mulberry handbag), but they surprised me with some new shoes, they got me a gorgeous pair of Dune Loafers which I absolute j'adore and also they bought me a pair of black sparkly pumps from Carvela at Kurt Geiger. My presents mainly consisted of beauty products such as Jo Malone body moisture and perfumes (You must try them they are incredible and so gorgeous smelling), A couple of bottles of Grey Goose Vodka, which is my favourite vodka!! But the best surprise came from my next door neighbour, I've been helping her out recently with a few things and helping her with her new puppy (I'm dog obsessed) so she kindly bought me a Vivenne Westwood bracelet, which is perfect, she knows how much I love Vivenne Westwood.

My beautiful Vivenne Westwood Bracelet!!!

Dune Loafers!!

The weekend of my birthday I celebrated with my close friends. We decided to do something a bit different this year and went to a private karaoke bar called Lollipop. Where for once I was allowed to sing as loud as I wanted, with no one telling me to be quiet. We sang Disney songs, old 90's tunes, sloshed down with a few jugs of cocktails and buckets of beer and danced the night away. We have a laugh. The best bit of this night came about an hour into the singing session when my girlfriends decided to produce a birthday card for me, thinking nothing of it, I continued to open the card unaware I was being filmed, inside the card was a white, neatly folded piece of A4 paper, which I opened and read, the girls had only bought me a ticket to go and see One Direction next year (2014)  at Wembley Stadium, made my night. One Direction are not the type of band or music I typically listen to (until they came out after the X Factor), but I have a soft spot for them and love singing along to them. So I now have a weekend in London to book and get excited about with my girls (who also bought tickets). We are going to be the oldest girls there, but who cares.

One Direction!!!!!

My actual birthday I celebrated with my family, we went to Zizzi's as I adore Italian cuisine and it was a perfect way to round off, a perfect birthday weekend.
I feel blessed to have such amazing family and friends around me.
