Chris got me some amazing gifts for Christmas this year. My favourite is the Fred Perry bomber from the Amy Winehouse collection, its soo cool. I also got an amazing Edie Sedgwick vinyl, its a soundtrack from the movie Ciao Manhattan which I watched a few years ago and is quite confusing but it does have some great footage of Edie. I also got this amazing photography book on Andy Warhol's factory by Stephen Shore which has some great photographs and a few I haven't seen before. </div>

We also went out to The Lanes in Bristol one week. I love The Lanes because they play indie, rock n roll and 60s classics. They also have cheap drinks which naturally means we get super drunk and take photobooth pictures.</div>

We bought some more Ikea furniture to store our records and books. We got one of the Kallax square units and a Billy bookcase. We have quite a big set up in the living room now which does make it more homely plus we can actually take our records out now and use them.</div>

I went on a bit of a spending spree this time of year because the amount of sales and discounts is too hard to exist, plus the change of the season meant I needed a bit of a wardrobe refresh. I bought these amazing <a href="https://www.office.co.uk/view/product/office_catalog/2,10/2905400078" target="_blank">Vagabond Marja ankle boots</a> from Office. They are such good quality, really sturdy but comfy. I've been looking for a nice Chelsea boots for ages because my current ones are quite scuffed so I'm happy I found these.</div>

I also got some Benefit goodies because they had a 3 for 2 offer for black friday. I absolutely love the galifornia blusher and the dandelion twinkle highlighter as a combination. Roller lash is my favourite mascara, I had it in the travel size and I was running out so I got the full version.</div>

While I was in Bristol I went to lovely cafe called <a href="http://pocotapasbar.com/" target="_blank">Poco</a>, its a bruch/lunch place by day and a tapas bar by night. One thing I miss about Bristol is the food, there's so many nice places to eat especially along Gloucester Road.</div>

In September I went to see Alvvays in Bristol. I've wanted to see Alvvays since they released their first album in 2014, so I was so happy to finally see them! My favourite song from the new album in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXZx19uN4MQ" target="_blank">Plimsoll Punks</a> but I also like Dreams Tonite. They also have such a cool video for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXu6q-6JKjA" target="_blank">Dream Tonite</a> because they spliced themselves into archival footage of a World Fair in Montreal in 1967. It looks impressive and gives the song a really cool feel. </div>

I seen them in a venue called Thekla in Bristol which is such a cool place because it is literally a boat with a stage under deck. It is one of the few places left in Bristol that is available for bands to play in but sadly it might close due redevelopment/gentrification. I've seen this happen both in Bristol and Cardiff. In Cardiff two venues threatened to close, The Moon and Clwb Ifor Bach due to noise regulation after Weatherspoons proposed to open a hotel on the same street. It makes me so angry that music venues are closing because the council would rather listen to developers than their citizens. Its really ripping the heart and soul out of cities. I mean who needs more shops and offices in ugly glass buildings!! If you feel the same you can sign a petition to save Thekla from closure, I don't know how persuasive an online petition will be but at least its something. </div>

This is one of the looks from September, I went into full Autumn mode with this plum vintage jumper. I was also trying out a new hairstyle because I've been having a hair crisis recently (more to come on that front)</div>

I also found this vintage bag that I left at home in Ireland for some crazy reason because it is literally so nice. It has a cute sixties shape and goes so well with this black vinyl skirt trend that I totally bought into. I was going for Chanel vibes in this flat lay as you can probably tell.</div>

I was a disappointed in St. Vincent tbh. I seen her back in 2014 and it was amazing. She had so much energy and her band was so good. Now that she has dropped her band, her old songs sound really flat. It also wasnt enjoyble because she was standing by herself on the corner of the stage and I could barely see her. Things did pick up during her new album because the songs suited a solo performance a lot more and the visuals did help it give it a bit more energy. I still like her new album Masseduction a lot but I wouldn't see her again unless she brought back her band. </div>

The next day we decided to take a trip to the Salford Lads Club. It was kind of silly to walk miles in the rain considering there isn't much to see there but I'm such a Smiths fan so being in Manchester, it was kind of a must.</div>

I went to see Peace last month too. I've loved Peace for ages so it was a major tick off my music bucket list. I did enjoy seeing them but it was ruined quite a lot by the crowd. It was really crazy in the venue and I got knocked around a lot and I couldnt hear Peace properly either. Maybe I'm just getting old but I much prefer a chilled out crowd especially for bands like Peace.</div>

... and finally we have Halloween. I didnt do anything for Halloween this year, I think its been the most un-Halloween Halloween in living memory. I didn't know anyone who did anything for it and there was many events on :P Its sad because I do love the season. I did however, carve this pumpkin, as you can see I am a pro and will be taking bookings for next year ;)</div>

I always love August not only because its my birthday month but because it always has great weather and it feels like the last celebration of Summer. I know a lot of people love Winter but Im dreading leaving the Sun behind. I think if you are born in Summer you just like Summer and vice versa.</div>

At the beginning of August, I moved out of my flat in Bristol. I was actually so sad to leave because I loved my flat and the area I lived in. I will also miss all the cool things there are to do in Bristol but Cardiff is only an hour away so I wont miss out too much.</div>

We also went to see Wolf Alice in Pontypridd near Cardiff. Wolf Alice were doing an intimate tour where they play in lots of small venues around the UK. I couldn't believe it when I saw they were playing in Pontypridd, the last time I seen them was in the Motopoint Arena in Cardiff. They were honestly so good this time, they are a band that should always play small venues. You dont get the same buzz at an arena. I love their new songs Yuk Foo and Beautifully Unconventional, I can't wait to hear the new album now!</div>

we also went to the <a href="http://glebegallery.ie/" target="_blank">Glebe House Gallery</a> in Churchill, it was home to the painter Derek Hill. It is such a lovely place to visit if you are in Donegal. We took a tour of the house and it has such major decorating inspiration and a very impressive collection of art.</div>

I've been obsessed with the Alexandra Savior album Belladonna of Sadness. The music is written by Alex Turner and most of the lyrics by Alexandra (as far as I am aware). Its really sultry and cool and I would definitely recommend listening to it!</div>

I went to Dot to Dot festival this month in Bristol and it was a lot of fun. It was about £25 a ticket and it got you into most venues in Bristol. We missed the afternoon slots but we still managed to catch four or five bands</div>

I also seen The Big Moon, its my third time seeing them, I caught them earlier this year after the release of their debut album. They are a really fun indie band that I would definitely recommend going to see if you get the chance.</div>

The last gig this month was the Kills at Shepherds Bush Empire in London. Although I had already seen The Kills twice in less than a year, I bought tickets for the 15th anniversary tour because I thought it would be the last time I'd get the chance to see them for a long while.</div>

The Kills always put on a great show and never disappoint. I was standing in front of Jamie this time and his guitar was very very loud. Although he sounded great, it took away from the songs a little. I'm still glad I seen them one last time!</div>

Earlier this month, I went to Paris for three nights with my boyfriend. It was our third visit so we decided not to visit some of the typical tourist spots and instead explore some parts of the city we missed last time. The highlight of the the trip for me was visiting the Luxembourg Gardens and walking around the Latin Quarter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">Luxembourg Gardens</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="text-align: right;">The Luxembourg Gardens was the first place we visited on our first full day. It was a really hot day so we decided to pick up some fruit and pastries</span><span style="text-align: right;"> and take them to the park. The Luxembourg Gardens are a really lovely place to relax and take a break from the busy city. There's lots of seated areas where you can</span><span style="text-align: right;"> </span><span style="text-align: right;">stay in the shade or</span><span style="text-align: right;"> soak up the sun. The fountains and the palace are really beautiful. </span><span style="text-align: right;">I found it unusual that there were palm trees around the fountains but it makes the place feel a little tropical, especially in the sun.</span></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Saint Germain Des Pres</span></h4>
Saint Germain Des Pres is a really lovely area to walk around. It's quite a wealthy part of town, often known for housing LaDuree and the famous Cafe De Flore but there are also some really lovely spots such as The Fountaine Saint Suplice that we stumbled across. We also visited the Musee D'Orsay. It has some really beautiful pieces including a collection of Van Gogh's works. It also has a great viewing point from the top and a large clock face which overlooks the Seine. As it was so hot during our visit, we sat down by the Seine for awhile and took in some of the views.<br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Notre Dame and the Latin Quarter</span></h4>
The Latin Quarter near the Notre Dame has quite a mix of cafes and bars with some gems hidden away off the main streets. It often can be quite touristy so you have to wander down a few alleyways to find more secluded spots. I really liked a little park we found across from the Shakespeare and Company shop. It has some really beautiful views of the Notre Dame and it feels quite peaceful for being so central.<br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Palace of Versailles</span></h4>
On the third day we decided to visit the Palace of Versailles. The palace is quite breathtaking and the gardens are really amazing. The only thing I didn't really like was how touristy it was. A lot of the rooms inside the palace were very packed so I didn't really want to spend too much time inside the palace. I much preferred the palace gardens and grounds.<br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Maison De Serge Gainsbourg</span></h4>
Serge Gainsbourg's house is a personal favourite. We visited it <a href="https://emmaodonnell.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/november-photo-diary-paris-pins-and.html" target="_blank">last time we went to Paris</a> and its just a really special place. Its located in Saint Germain Des Pres, not far from the Seine. The house of the French singer has been left exactly as it was since he died in 1991. However, outside the walls change every other month with new street art appearing in commemoration of Serge Gainsbourg and his partner and muse Jane Birkin.<br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">Where We Ate</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Food was a bit hit and miss this time. However, wine and desserts were the highlight for me most nights. On the first night we arrived pretty late so a lot of the restaurants were closing. We didn't have long to choose somewhere so we ate at a place called Le Lutece. I had fish on a bed of vegetables but it was a little plain. However, I did enjoy an apple tart I bought and the waiter was very nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the second night we went to Montmatre and ate at the square near the Sacre Coeur at a restaurant called Au Cadet de Gascogne. We didn't a have the best service there but I did enjoy my pizza and wine (very Fernch lol). The square which I think is called Place de Tetre has a really nice atmosphere at night. I would definitely recommend visiting Montmatre at night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next night we weren't really sure where to eat and were really tired from walking so we ate at a cafe near Shakespeare and company called La Bucherie. We didn't have the best experience there. The food was average and the waiters were more interested in talking around new customers than the customers they did have. I would recommend trying to find cafes on side streets. They have a much better atmosphere. After leaving the restaurant, we took a walk along the Seine and Saint Germain Des Pres. Even though it started raining really heavy, we decided to walk to a restaurant we ate at the first time we visited Paris. Its called Zero Zero Sevres and its in an area called Vaneau. I had a gourmet coffee which is honestly the nicest thing, we need it in the UK. It consists of a shot of espresso, and a trio of desserts. I had a mini creme brulee, a pot of tiramisu and a chocolate mousse ... yum!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the last day, we had lunch in a nice cafe near our hotel in the 14th arrondissement. I think it was called La Bouffarde. I had a lovely omelette and a cappuccino. On the way to the airport, we stopped off at Saint Michel and I had an amazing flower shaped gelato with a macaroon on top from a shop called <a href="http://www.amorino.com/us/" target="_blank">Amorino</a>. I think they have one in London too. I spotted it earlier that day and decided that I needed one!</div>

I'm going to Paris in a week's time so I thought it would be fun to write a post about my favourite movies that are set in Paris. </div>

Midnight in Paris is like a love letter to the city. It has some of the most beautiful shots of Paris and it takes you right across the city and the surrounding area stopping off at Monet's Garden in Giverny, the Palace of Versailles, the Seine and the Latin Quarter. Written and directed by Woody Allen, it tells the story of a Hollywood screenwriter and aspiring novelist, Gill Pender (Owen Willson) who takes a trip to Paris with his fiancee (Rachel McAdams). Gill has a romantic fascination with Paris in the 1920s and on one late night excursion he seemingly travels back in time to his beloved era. Midnight in Paris is one of the best romantic comedies I've seen and it has a great cast with the likes of Marion Cotillard, Lea Seydoux, Kathy Bates, Adrian Brody and Tom Hiddelston.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Breathless (dir. Godard)</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9-mEPd7dCE/WQz-uX2SNHI/AAAAAAAAKGo/S43Xa_OQPjQJOS6ryAzh-UHiPLPFDwHtACLcB/s1600/f-2010-10-ct.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="364" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-v9-mEPd7dCE/WQz-uX2SNHI/AAAAAAAAKGo/S43Xa_OQPjQJOS6ryAzh-UHiPLPFDwHtACLcB/s640/f-2010-10-ct.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Godard movies, especially those that are set in Paris - Breathless, Band of Outsiders and Vivre Sa Vie. Breathless is about a small time thief on the run who reunites with an American student in order to persuade her to run away with him. I love Breathless because it gives a much more romanticized look at 1960's Paris. The famous scene in which Jean Seaberg sells newspapers along the Champs-Elysses always come to my mind when I think of Paris. Shot along Paris's left bank, the film travels from the chic bars of St.Germain to the streets surrounding the Notre Dame. Band of Outsider's famous Lourve scene in which the three characters set out to beat the record of running through the Lourve in 9 minutes and 45 seconds is a staple of new wave Paris for me. Vivre Sa Vie is another film you should watch to get a feel of new wave Paris. Vivre Sa Vie documents the life of a prostitute called Nana who is played by the wonderful Anna Karina. Although it gives a lot more realistic look at Paris, it still has the mischievous charm of Godard movies and its fair share of chic cafe scenes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
The Dreamers (dir. Bernardo Bertolucci)</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qu-y-fai1lw/WQz9xvfymFI/AAAAAAAAKGY/eNu2aLYhYCMqpPaSPSb_0Sw_lKJOlZ7pQCLcB/s1600/dreamers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qu-y-fai1lw/WQz9xvfymFI/AAAAAAAAKGY/eNu2aLYhYCMqpPaSPSb_0Sw_lKJOlZ7pQCLcB/s640/dreamers.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Although a large proportion of The Dreamers takes place in a Parisian flat, the film takes you on an extensive tour through French and Parisian culture. Set to the backdrop of the 1968 student riots, it tells the story of an American student (Michael Pitt) who forms a friendship with a brother (Louis Garrell) and sister (Eva Green). The trio are obsessed with film and often meet to discuss French new wave movies and Hollywood classics. I love The Dreamers because it cleverly intertwines film clips and cultural references with a romantic drama. Based on the French classic Les Enfants Terrible, the Bernardo Bertulocci film is a master class in French culture.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Last Tango in Paris (dir. Bernardo Bertolucci)</b></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OzYqTz0BaGc/WQz-otT06VI/AAAAAAAAKGk/bcoNdTcBn2AvOjnYTCGMFEPmuA6XIlkCACLcB/s1600/LastTango1-1600x900-c-default.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OzYqTz0BaGc/WQz-otT06VI/AAAAAAAAKGk/bcoNdTcBn2AvOjnYTCGMFEPmuA6XIlkCACLcB/s640/LastTango1-1600x900-c-default.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another Bernardo Bertolucci film, Last Tango in Paris, tests the boundaries of the relationship between a widowed French hotelier played by Marlon Brando and a young French woman played by Maria Schneider. Like the Dreamers, the content of the film may put off some viewers (a certain infamous scene was a tough watch) but I think Last Tango is a real masterpiece. Last time I was in Paris, I stumbled across the building by the Bir Hakeim bridge which features a lot in the movie. Its actually a beautiful place to visit because you can view the Eiffel Tower from a relatively quiet spot without the usual tourist buzz.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cleo from 5 to 7 (dir. Agnes Varda)</b></span></div>

<br />
Cleo from 5 to 7 is another French New Wave film shot on location on the streets of Paris. It is about a narcissistic young French pop singer called Cleo who has been brought down to earth by a cancer scare. As she waits for the results of her biopsy, she wanders around Paris visiting many of the left bank shopping streets, river fronts and gardens. The film mixes the elements of a musical with a realist drama in a really charming way. I love the day in the life style of this film and I think it gives a really interesting insight into Paris in the sixties.<br />
<br />
I hope these movies make you fall in love with Paris too.

I went to see The Big Moon at Rise in Bristol. I haven't been to this record shop before and I really liked it, they have such a wide selection and they also sell vintage clothes. Downstairs they have a coffee bar and a stage. It was great to see The Big Moon again and hear some of their new songs for the first time. </div>

I pre-ordered their new vinyl <a href="http://www.rise-music.co.uk/browse/search/love+in+the+4th+dimension/item/279094/Big-Moon-Love-in-the-4th-Dimension.html" target="_blank">Love in the 4th Dimension</a> with Rise and I was chuffed to get a limited edition vinyl :) They offer <a href="http://www.rise-music.co.uk/browse.php?campaign=PRES" target="_blank">10% off pre-orders for vinyl</a> so its such a good place to buy new releases. </div>

I also went to see Pins in Cardiff with my boyfriend. Pins are one of my favourite bands to see live. They just keep getting better. My favourite songs from the new EP called <a href="http://www.wearepins.co.uk/" target="_blank">Bad Thing</a> are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFvM9XLfEOk" target="_blank">Aggrophobe</a> which features the one and only Iggy Pop and the song Bad Thing</div>

I took these pictures a few weeks back when I first wore this dress. I've worn it about twice since because I absolutely love it. I think the tea dress style really suits my body shape and its so easy to wear. I love the ruched sleeve and the polka dot detail on this black dress from Topshop. Tea dresses also look great as both a daytime dress and a going out dress. I wore it to a party last weekend with a peach furry clutch bag and heels and it looked so cute. </div>

Just a couple of pictures from one of the first sunny days this Spring, I wish we could have more days off together like this. We took the pictures in the park near out flat. The daffodils have just come out so its so pretty. It was a pretty windy day so I was fighting with my hair in most pictures. I really love this pink top, the sleeves are amazing. I've had these gingham leggings for quite a while but I thought I'd resurrect them since gingham is so popular this season. I hope you're enjoying the sun this weekend, I'm torn between writing my essays and going out the sun, why does the sun always come out during exam season!</div>

I got some Chanel makeup in London too! its my first foray into designer makeup, I got the Le Teint Ultra Tenue foundation in Beige Rose and the Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick in La Raffinee. The foundation is a good match to my skintone and really long lasting but it does feel a little heavy on the skin. I really love the lipstick, it honestly feels like velvet and its such a nice pink shade. I've been looking for a subtle pink shade for ages but nothing suited me as well as this one</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought a few dvds this month, the Marlon Brando documentary was really interesting, it included recordings of Brando himself and different pieces of footage. I haven't gotten around to watching the Godard movie yet but I can't wait because I've heard good things about it</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also bought this Velvet Underground live record in shop in Bristol called Repsycho, its mostly a vintage shop but in the basement they sell records too. I think the vinyl sleeve is amazing and its a double Lp so theres lots of live recording from 1969 in New York and Texas</div>

I using the game <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rocksmith-2014-Real-Tone-Cable/dp/B00KJGJUNS/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1486054220&sr=1-1&keywords=rocksmith+xbox" target="_blank">Rocksmith</a> to teach me some songs but I really should buy a book to learn some of the basic technical stuff (or maybe I'll try and find a good youtube tutorial)</div>

I was also went to see Trainspotting 2 this month and I really liked it. I'm such a big fan of the first one and the second one really suprised me because it wasnt really about heroin this time but its based more on the characters, as always its really funny and Danny Boyle has some really creative shots in it</div>

I absolutely love Sister Jane's new Spring collection. The collection is an alternative take on the girl gang look. Instead of biker jackets and jeans think peter pan dresses, ruffles and bell sleeves. The designs are feminine, fun and true to the London based brand's retro style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I'd start with my three favourite pieces. The forget me not jacquard dress has the most gorgeous floral design and flared sleeves. It reminds me of a dress from <a href="http://emmaodonnell.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/dear-prudence.html" target="_blank">Valentino's A/W 2013 collection</a>. The jacquard material is also used in <a href="https://sisterjane.com/products/forget-me-not-ciggy-trousers" target="_blank">cigarette trousers</a> and a <a href="https://sisterjane.com/products/forget-me-not-box-blazer" target="_blank">blazer</a>. The confetti shadowplay dress is one of my favourite dresses from the collection. The combination of tweed and pleats is very Chanel-esque and the lace back really adds to it. Tweed is a major feature of this collection. They have with a pink and grey tweed blazers, skirts, tops and dresses. The belle de jour sweater has amazing ruffle detail on the sleeve, it also looks like the comfiest jumper ever because it is in a soft suede material. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Exaggerated sleeves are such a big trend this year and a major feature of this collection. I love the pleated front and the black brooch on the mint condition blouse. The saved by the bell dress is a modern take on the fifties silhouette, with bell sleeves and a full a-line skirt. I love the fun doodle print on the teen idol dress. It is also featured on the <a href="https://sisterjane.com/products/teen-idol-ruffle-blouse" target="_blank">red teen idol ruffle blouse</a>. </div>

There are some lovely mustard coloured pieces in the collection, including the chartreuse lace top which has the most amazing flared sleeves.

The primrose tiered top is in a delicate pink shade with amazing tiered ruffle sleeves. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sister Jane is one of the best places for retro dresses with a modern twist. The macaroon oxford dress is a classic sixties shift dress, however, the ruffled bib gives it a preppy look. I love the pearl embellishment on the collar of the mustard dress. The main material of the dress is also slightly see through in places to reveal the lace overlay. The dear diary coven dress is one of the few darker pieces of the collection. The high neck collar, ruffle sleeves and swing shape is a modern take on the LBD.</div>

As fate would have it Les Demoiselles De Rochefort is showing at the Cube the same night as Dream wife :( As a lover of French cinema, this movie has been on my watchlist for a very long time and I'm disappointed that I want be able to go. However, if you are free you should go! Les Demoiselles De Rochefort or The Young Girls of Rochefort (en Anglais) is a French musical featuring Catherine Deneuve and Francoise Dorleac who play two sisters who leave their seaside town of Rochefort in search of romance. It is the follow up to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg which is also a must see of French new wave cinema.<br />

Where: The Fleece<br />

<br />
If you didn't get enough nineties anthems at The Lanes then you could head to The Fleece's Nineties Britpop Night. The Fleece have a britpop club night on the last Friday of every month. Its probably the only place that play bands like Oasis, Pulp, Blur and The Stone Roses all night.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I finally got round to making a video from some footage I took at the Dream Wife and Black Honey gig at the Louisiana in Bristol on the 3rd of October. The footage of Black Honey was too shaky because the crowd went so crazy when they came on so I only included the Dream Wife footage.In this video they are playing Lolita, F.U.U. and Hey Heartbreaker. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tickets to see Dream Wife again on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1204822379609929/" target="_blank">19th of January in the Crofters Rights</a> in Bristol and I cant wait! They are such a fun live band so you should go see them on their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dreamwifedream/app/308540029359/" target="_blank">UK tour</a> if you can. They are also playing at SXSW in the US in March :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looking back on l<a href="http://emmaodonnell.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/new-years-resolutions-2016-to-do-list.html" target="_blank">ast year's new year's resolutions</a>, I realized that I achieved a lot of my resolutions but not always in the way I thought I would. I finished my degree but then I decided that I would do a Masters in a different subject. I found a job in Bristol but its part time along side my degree. I moved to Bristol like I planned and I went to lots of gigs including one of my favourite bands The Kills, twice! so overall 2016 was a good year. Like last year, this year's new years resolutions is more of a do to list with lots of goals that I want to achieve during 2017.</div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Finish my Masters</h3>
<br />
The most important goal of 2017, is to finish my masters. I'm doing a Masters in Marketing Communications which is a change from my undergraduate degree in English and Film. I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot about an area that I'm really interested in. I think the hardest part of this goal is writing the 15,000 word dissertation before September but I know it will be an amazing achievement.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Get an Internship</h3>
<br />
I really want to get an internship in marketing early this year or during the Summer. It would be amazing to be able to work in marketing part-time alongside my degree. I don't have much marketing experience and these days its what employers always look for. I'm going to get my CV looking sharp and start looking this month.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Pass my Driving Test</h3>
<br />
I really want to pass my driving test. I've been taking lessons on and off for about four years now but I've been away from home so much that its been hard to practice. I am considering taking my theory test in England and doing my test here instead of Ireland. It would be amazing to have the freedom of being able to drive and I feel like it will be necessary when I get a full time job.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Get a Job in Marketing</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This is the hardest goal of the year and the one that is on every one of my new years resolutions lists. I will be looking for a full time job in Marketing in August and I hope that with a bit of luck I will find a job. I hope to have a job in time to move into a new flat in September so fingers crossed.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Learn the Bass Guitar</h3>
<br />
I'm looking forward to this one a lot. I really love music and I've decided that its not to late to learn an instrument I really like. The bass feels a lot more me that a guitar and plus I can play alongside my boyfriend. I will be teaching myself along with a lot of help from my boyfriend so it will take some serious practice but hopefully I will be good enough to play at an open mic night by the end of the<br />
year!<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Blog More Regularly</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I really want to blog more regularly but I've found it hard towards the end of this year to find the time because I've been working in a restaurant and doing my masters. This year I will try to take some outfit pictures, some lifestyle posts and write a lot more. I want to use my blog to show that I can create more creative content. I miss the satisfaction of posting something different or putting together something you've worked hard on.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Travel</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I really want to travel more this year, not only abroad but around the UK too. I really want to take a trip to Manchester, visit friends in Dublin and maybe travel to Europe. I would love to visit Rome or Venice.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope there will be a lot less celebrity deaths this year and a lot more positive news. I hope you achieve your goals this year too, happy new year :) </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was thinking of making a boxing day sale wishlist but I decided to show you what I bought already instead. As you can see I've done quite a lot of damage. I bought most things online and a few things in store today. I went to Derry and I popped into Topshop and Boots. Boots have such a great sale, all their gifts sets are half price or more so its the perfect time to buy Christmas presents for next year or just treat yourself (like me!) Some things are now sold out online but there could be available in store so I've included them. Did you buy anything in the Christmas sales? :) </div>

Merry Christmas Eve!!! I thought I'd post some pictures of what I wore last night. I love all things glittery and velvet so the Christmas season is one of my favourite times of the year. I got the velvet bomber as a Christmas present and I absolutely love it. As it was so stormy last night I ended up wearing a heavier coat but I cant wait to wear it. I love this glittery dress that I got for the festive season. Both items are from Topshop and both are on sale!</div>

I hope you have a nice Christmas :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14700794302026625926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959473338388926355.post-71896120283179508922016-12-02T08:52:00.002-08:002017-02-25T12:40:25.825-08:00November Photo Diary: Paris, Pins and The Damned<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

we also went to see Pins this month at the Fleece. They were supporting Honeyblood and there set was so good. If you haven't heard of them already you should totally look them up because they are one of the best UK bands out there</div>

I really loved this outfit I wore to Pins - the leopard print coat is from pull and bear, the mesh top from river island, the velvet bralet from new look, the velvet jeans from topshop and the boots from office (so much goes into an outfit 😅)</div>

I got my Christmas present early this year because I'm going home for Christmas soon and I wanted to set up the record player before I go. The turntable is by <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00EUSMFPQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Audio Technica</a> and the speakers are by <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0105Y2T5Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Logitech</a>, I'm really happy with them and I can't wait to play the records I bought when I didn't have a record player. I've been using my Dads record player for years so its so cool to have a new one :)</div>

This post is so long, I should really start doing these updates weekly 😛 (the new emojis are weird but I still intend on using them)</div>
