Arctic Monkey's Concert

The Arctic Monkeys are probably my favourite band of all time and so I was beyond excited to be seeing them live at the Liverpool Echo arena on Monday night.
The anticipation for the Arctics was built up by the supporting act The Strypes who weren't great in my opinion. Far too shouty for my liking with a lot of excessive and unnecessary jumping around. The crowd were not particularly receptive to the Strypes with the exception of one avid fan-girl who was very enthusiastically dancing on her own.
It was such a fantastic night, the sound in the venue was amazing and the band were really good live. Alex Turner is undeniably hot so that's also a bonus! The set list was perfect, the only thing missing was fake tales of San Francisco. My favourite part of the gig was when they played 'dancing shoes' and everyone went crazy!




OOTN: Concert outfit

Here is what I wore to the Arctic Monkey's gig in Liverpool on Monday, excuse the messy background, I was in a rush!
I layered a cut off tartan shirt over a distressed biker style vest to add a grunge twist to the glamorous faux fur coat which turned out to be a lifesaver, we queued outside the arena for nearly an hour in the freezing cold! The biker boots help to toughen up the look while the necklace adds a bit of detail.

What I'm listening to...

Lana Del Rey Born to die (Paradise edition)
This month I have been getting back into Lana Del Rey's paradise album. I kept this album on repeat last summer and I recently re-discovered it. Lana creates a unique persona through her music of a morbid, retro-americana beauty queen. I will admit the image she portrays is hardly a role model for modern feminism however I really do love this album.

Top 5 songs:
1) Gods and monsters
2)This is what makes us girls
3) Radio
4)Yayo
5)Without you

Arctic Monkeys AM
I am so excited to be seeing the Arctics at Liverpool echo next Monday and this album has been playing on repeat. The sound of the album is different to their previous work and I do feel that the clever lyrics have taken a back seat to commercialism  However I like almost anything the Arctic Monkeys do!


Top 5 songs:
1)R U Mine?
2)Do i wanna know?
3)Arabella
4)Why'd you only call me when your high?
5)Snap out of it

Kings of Leon Mechancial Bull
I fell in love with KOL when I listened to their first album. They make the perfect music for rainy days and car journeys and I've really been liking Mechanical Bull lately.The bridge in tonight is insane!


Top 5 songs:
1)Supersoaker
2)Don't matter
3)Tonight
4)Comeback story
5)On the chin
