Mini Life Update

Hello everyone,
It has been a (very) long time since my last post. How are you? Is everything going okay?
I hope that if you're reading this then you are not incredibly disappointed in my long absence and also I hope you're looking forward to future posts :)
This is just a little chance for me to tell you a little about what's been going on in my world, and what you can expect from my upcoming posts.

5SOS SLFL London and Brighton

Hello everyone,
I cannot believe the time has come for me and my pals to hit the road for the Aussies all over again. The last few days have been so incredible and I wanted to document it here so I can remember it. If you don't like 5SOS then please just stop reading because things are about to get EMO, real emo.
We (me, Emmy, Amy and Emma) got to our super cute apartment in London on Thursday, plugged in a laptop and started searching for tickets. It didn't take long for us to snap up some in a block on Calum's side, given we are being Michael AF for the rest of tour. We played a 5SOS version of heads up and C.A.H (Karen Clifford's ham and all that jazz) before stumbling to the venue.

Mini Primark haul

Hello everyone,

I'm doing something a bit different today. I was split between blogging this and vlogging it but I haven't been able to find the right time or place to film so here I am, sticking to my best method of communicating what I think is cool.

I am obsessed with hauls lately. Makeup, clothes and 99 Cent Store hauls being my preferred procrastination videos. I went to Primark earlier this month in the search of a few staple pieces and I am here to show you what I bought and why you should buy them on a pay day!

FBF: Halsey Badlands Tour

Hello everyone,
I apologise for the slump my blog has been in recently, what with my DISSERTATION and procrastination levels at an all time high.
I love Halsey. I've bragged about her in several posts and I really wanted to share the great experiences I had seeing her whilst she was in the UK. She may be a new artist but she is one of my all time favourite people to see live; her crowds are diverse, glitter coats my skin and I get to see some of my favourite humans in the process.

Let's kick this off with the Birmingham show and my trip to Camp Badlands. Emmy, Amy and I had a little stop off at TGI's for cocktails (mine was a hurricane, how fitting) before we headed to the venue. There were a few queues which seemed confusing but we weren't in the cold for too long. A guy (I'm really sad I don't know his name because he was SO POLITE, and a itty bitty little bit cute) gave us our wristbands and passports, which were stamped upon entry. Inside, all of the freaking amazing artwork that Halsey's shared at a few other events were displayed. Film poster esque versions of her songs, which I really hope become merch because I want to plaster my walls with them. There was a cute pink and blue Badlands backdrop where you could take photos and have them printed as cute post cards using a hashtag, and there was also the opportunity to buy discounted merch (we as a squad opted for the 'Send Help' dad caps).

A very Lush Valentine's

Hello everyone,
I know a little while ago I made a promise to have a regular Lush series however I just haven't committed to this, I'm sorry. I blame the fact that as soon as I buy something there I instantly have to use it, I'm reckless and don't have the self control to blog about it.
However, here I am with a mini season Lush themed post which I hope you'll enjoy. It's a small, sweet post, much like the three Valentine's products I've chosen. Generally I'm not a fan of Valentine's- if you're going to love yourself/a partner then do it every day, not just because some card shop told you to! With that said though, I wasn't going to resist the opportunity for seasonal Lush products!
Let's get into this:

A weekend with The Maine

Hello everyone,
as we all know, I'm fairly emo. I get v. emosh about many things, from dogs to books to bands. One thing in particular that's made me emo since my early teens is a band (or Arizona Emo Group if you prefer) by the name of The Maine. I haven't seen this band live since 2010 so you can imagine that the emo scale did increase by 8123 (get it?). I had the absolute time of my life these past few days and so I wanted to write about it, so I can always remember and relive it.
The story starts in Birmingham, which is the place I first saw them live in (when I was smaller and less emo, but only slightly). As it always does, it rained from the moment I stepped out of the coach station and to the moment I got in my front door. What's interesting, and by interesting I mean HELLA EMO about this tour is that The Maine are on tour with Mayday Parade and that's the same tour (though it was co headlining the first time) I saw them on in 2010. It was as though the emo circle pit came rushing at full force.

What to expect in 2016

Hello everyone,
so this is my very first post of the year and I am hoping to be as, if not more, efficient with my blogging life this year. I really hope you enjoy reading whatever I babble on about because I enjoy blogging, and writing, so much and all of your reactions, however small, mean so much to me.
I thought this post would be split in two parts- what I'm hoping for 2016 and what you can expect from me in terms of content. So here goes:
Aimee's 2016 hopes:
I tend not to have resolutions because they never work out and I'm not essentially against my current lifestyle so much that I think I need to make drastic changes. These are just small things I'd like to accomplish.

2015: the highlights

Hello everyone,
what's this? Two posts in one day? This really is a miracle!
As 2015 hurries to its end I thought it would be really cute and very emo to look back at some of my most favourite memories from this year. I really enjoy it when people make posts like this so please leave me a comment or tweet me some of your stand out moments from this year.
I would like to think 2016- the year I graduate and drown in the adult world, will be just as incredible as this year has been, here are some of my favourite things from 2015:

My Sound of 2015

Hello everyone,
it seems that 2015 is almost behind us. I think one thing you've probably learnt if you've been a devout follower of my blog this year is that I love music. Yeah I know, 99% of my posts are about some band from Sydney, but today I'm going to be highlighting the realm of my musical interests, and in no particular order, telling you why they're the best. Let's go!

they say writing is therapy

Hello everyone,
I'm writing this post on reflection of what happens to be the worst week of my life. If you know me personally then you'll probably have guessed what this is about, but for those of you who don't know why, you're about to find out.
Eleven years and six months ago, on a sunny June morning, I had in my lap a tiny puppy sitting in a bowl, on his way to his new home for the first time. His ears were too big for his body and he was restless as each green light disturbed his attempt to sleep. This morning, on a rainy December day, that same puppy, who grew into his ears and could sleep through
a hurricane returned home for the final time, in a teeny box with his name written on it.

Hey Violet @ O2 Academy Islington

Hello everyone,
here's a little update on what's been happening in my world:
uni, work, placement, uni, uni, uni, work, placement. It is a never ending cycle that pretty much aborts my socialising with friends, but December 2nd was a fantastic exception.
The emo's (me, Emmy, Amy and Emma) had planned to have a cute AF Christmas meet up at Winter Wonderland in London, followed by Pizza Hut Buffet, Oxford Street shopping/photoshoot and Hey Violet. Unfortunately 3/4 of the squad ended up stuck in traffic for over six hours, YES THAT'S SIX HOURS, during a journey that should have taken two hours. It's safe to say we've reserved Winter Wonderland and Pizza Hut Buffet for next December, but one thing did happen and that was seeing Hey Violet at the O2 Academy in Islington.
