Fashion related (and totally non-fashion related) things that have made my world go round over the last seven days…
Swingbilly style
Despite typing this while watching the rain hammer it down outside, this week has been great for numerous reasons, not least a Friday night session dancing to The Ten Pound Suit Band. I saw this ‘swingbilly’ band with friends at the Blue Lagoon bar on Gloucester Road, and their blend of pop covers and country twang was nothing short of infectious. The tiny bar was so packed that it felt like we’d stumbled into a house party and the band had just set up in the living room. If you live in or near Bristol I’d recommend checking out their gig listings and hot-footing it down to see them this autumn.
Room 101
This week I’ve been writing about elements of blogging that get my goat – have a read and tell me yours, I’m sure I can’t be alone about the whole PR request hashtag, can I? Whistles pyjama trousers have also featured on the blog this week. I know it’s all very 2012, but I swear these are the most comfortable and stylish trousers I’ve found in ages so I’ll be on the hunt for more this autumn. Big shout out to Bonjour, Blogger! for featuring the post on their Saturday Summary, too.
New heights
If you follow me on Twitter you’ll know that I’ve started taking aerial silk classes and this week I finally managed to climb about six feet in the air. Now that may not sound like much, but for a weedy thing like myself who has virtually no upper body strength, it was a huge achievement and had me on a high (excuse the pun) for the rest of the week.
