Under the Moon

Saturday was largely spent in a beer and sun haze of Olympic Park, £68 got us in the see a phenomenal line up of awesomeness. Haim, 3 chicks with dicks sisters smashing up electric guitar and Bass- I have seen their name before but never listened to them. They were pretty cool. After that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero’s- my household been obsessed with this nomadic hippies for quite some time now and honestly, this was who I really came to see live. They were incredible they have some a presence about them and a way with them, which really wanted to make you grow dreads and venture around the world with some sort of bizarre musical instrument trying to find your inner peace. They are incredible artists and I would recommend watching them wherever they are, hell, follow them around the world. You certainly won’t be sorry. Ben Howard graced us with his soulful salt water baby melodies I have always wondered when the surfing culture would spore another ambassador after Jack Johnson, he is the answer to that query and he was even more phenomenal live. Ben Howard is one cool cat! The rest of the festival was awesome and Olympic park was put to great use baked in sunshine, beer and sweat what a great day! Here are some great songs from our beloved hippie clan. (can’t believe I haven’t posted something from them yet) Sorry!

So if new media is to blame for the faster paced fashion cycle then 'officially' we are now in the era of Nineties nostalgia. Well, at least I feel like that anyway so this means bring out the peroxide blonde, androgyny, leather, sheer, all stars and plaid. Here are some of my favourite shots and favourite tunes to go alongside a time I always wish I could escape to when I feel lost, alone, afraid and defeated. Enjoy x

My Deepest Fear

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

-Marianne Williamson 

Life can get really busy and our rut or routine can overwhelm us at times. Sometimes, we need to sit back and evalute our purpose, our goals and what we believe and exactly where it is we are going. I hope this make you all evalute your lifes. Because it is too short and every day that goes by is another day less we have on this beautiful planet. Take a second, breathe, smile and remember what it is that keeps us going from day to day. Most importantly though, those that keep pushing you through yours to succeed, achieve and who are always there to pick you up when you fall. Happy Monday all.x
