Jamie T! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to finally go and see Jamie T live in Liverpool last week. The show sold out almost instantly after the tickets came on sale. There was almost a five year gap between Jamies last album and his new one yet all the fans stayed dedicated during his hiatus! I didn't really know what to expect from this gig yet it definitely outdid all of my expectations and was better than I could have imagined. Laurie and Isaac, also known as Slaves kicked off the show with an exhilarating set. They really got the crowd warmed up with their energetic performance. This was the second time I'd watched Slaves and they really love to interact with their audience, they always make their set fun and lighthearted and full of anecdotes/ tales of where the lyrics to some of their songs originated. One song called Where's your car, Debbie? was written when the boys were walking a girl through the woods back to her car and got worried that Big Foot was chasing them! Jamie started his set with a bang! The first song he performed was from the new album. It was called Limits Lie and was a great way to begin. Everyone became psyched up and instantly a surge took place and a mosh pit formed. This pretty much stayed the same throughout the whole gig. I was right in the middle and therefore spent most of the night being pressed up against hundreds of other sweaty bodies. I wasn't complaining though, as there's no way to enjoy an intimate gig better than getting involved in the mosh pit! Jamie played an array of old and new songs off a range of his albums. The crowd favourites were definitely his new single Zombie and his well known, well loved song Sticks and Stones! When Jamie sang his slower, more passionate songs, the whole crowd stopped shoving and pushing and stood still, their hands in the air, singing along. Jamies music has helped so many people during tough times in their lives over the years, and that definitely showed with the passion and gratitude which radiated from the crowd. It was such a fantastic night, I was elbowed, pushed, had cups of beer and other mysterious liquids spilled on me, but I wouldn't change it at all. Jamie T, we love you.

"Is Alice bored yet?"

So I went to Corfu, the night time entertainment wasn't much good... I ended up learning a new skill.
It was going so well, I even acquired a small audience... until the nerves got the better of me :(
Also I am wearing a Topshop floral playsuit in this photo which I bought for £36.00. I love it, and have been wearing it a lot this Summer!

PLL.SS Idea!

I am thinking of making a new mini-series on YouTube! It's going to be called Pretty Little Liars - Style Steal. I want to recreate cheaper versions of the outfits I see the actresses wear! Pretty Little Liars is a show which I quickly became obsessed with and I am going to kick off the series with my favourite of the actresses: Troian Bellisario!! I can not wait to get this series started, fingers crossed it goes well!

I'm wearing my Primarni purple playsuit which cost just £5!! I have paired it with my new favourite Summer shoes, these shiny silver wedge sandals! Very cheap outfit, but lovely and Summery!

Hair Transformation

Red hair is most definitely my favourite hair colour. I've been dying my hair red for almost the last five years.




                   
                            
I fancied a change though, I felt the urge to mix it up a bit and therefore have dyed it Purple!
The first thing I did was lighten my red hair before attempting to put the purple on. I used a sachet of Jerome Russel's Bblonde powder bleach and mixed it with 75ml of Creme Peroxide. I bought the powder bleach from Superdrug and the Peroxide off Ebay. After applying all this to my head, I waited half an hour and then washed it off. It went this light gingery colour.


I then attempted to use Directions Plum but it didn't show too well as my hair wasn't blonde enough. It would have been better for just highlights or ombre and not a whole head change. I therefore used my trusty Schwarzkopf Live Colour in Mystic Violet. I applied the whole tube and then left it for nearly an hour because I wanted it to be darker. This is how it has turned out: 


I quite like it :) 
A nice new change for Summer, no doubt I'll be back red again soon though hahah!
