Things I have eyes for...

Leaving home is an important time in everyone's lifetime and when you know its coming it gets quite exciting. I found out 3 weeks ago that I am moving out and ever since I have spent most of my time searching the net/shops for things that I need for my new home. The list it seems, is endless with the things that we need, but we will get there eventually. I love old styles of furniture and things that are a little different to everywhere else. These few things are things that I have spotted along the way that I have my eye on, some a little more pricey than others. The Roberts radio is something I am thinking of treating myself too as I have always wanted one, and if the weathers nice, I can take it with me to sit outside...
I am also looking at lots of new projects to take on to make and do for the new home, tonight I have started crocheting a big circular rug! Its going to be smashing I hope, something a little different... Cant wait to show it to you when its finished!

Day trip to London

On Friday (22nd June), I went on a day trip to London. We went around lunch time on the train to Euston and from there went to Camden to meet up with my good friend Toni! She moved down to London a few months ago and we miss her greatly, shes working in fashion and has a lovely little blog here. We visited my favourite place Camden Lock Market and Camden Stables Market. I could spend so much money going through all the racks of great vintage items :)

Then after spending all the money I had, we popped to a local pub for half a Dead Pony. We sat and had a lovely catch up before making our way to Hammersmith and going to the Apollo. For Friday night, was Jack White night!! YAYE!!

It has been a while since we bought our tickets for this gig and I have been trying not to get too excited about it all. I hate getting excited about things that then turn out to be a let down. But with this gig I had nothing to worry about, it was excellent!!

He was on form with songs from all his bands past and present thrown into the set. There's a great review of the gig here.

All in all it was a great day and I really enjoyed myself. I need to go back to London soon though and spend some more in Camden, I wish I lived nearer!

Never Fade Away

Spector are a five piece indie rock band from London and their debut album is due out in August titled Enjoy it While it Lasts. I have been listening to this song a lot lately and I really like it :)
Hope you do too!

Just because...

I haven't done a Things I have eyes for for a little while now. Blogging has been at the back of my mind due to personal issues, but every so often a girl just needs nice things to make her feel good. So this week I have gone basic but beautiful! These jeans are standard but so good, I really need some new jeans...;) The top's so cute, I have had my eye on this for some time!! The shoes, oh my the shoes, I would wear them always.. :) The bag is different and I love that. And the ring, with the symbol of infinity I really do like...
Nice things :) x

Fathers Day

Today is Fathers Day and to me my dad is very important. From a very early age, although he worked away a lot my dad was always my hero, nothing he did could ever be wrong. I love him loads!

Throughout the years we have had some really great times, and some bad ones. But he will always be my dad.

My biggest memory of my dad is singing Strange Little Girl by the Stranglers to me whenever he played it. It's a song that I will always remind me of him.

My dad!
