The Ed Sheeran Concert.

Oh my goodness. Can I just put out there that Ed Sheeran is a very talented musician and if any of you ever get the chance to go and see him live then please snatch it with both hands!

The day was perfect we set out for Birmingham at about 1 o'clock (I'm going to skip the whole journey there because who wants to hear about what we were talking about and listening to the whole ride there? :L )

When we arrived the queue was fairly long, being the clever people we are we bought sandwiches, crisps and jammy doughnuts with us to eat whilst we were waiting. Brilliant idea; helped you to think of something other than how cold you were. It wasn't really that cold it was just the wind that was bitter. If there wasn't any wind then we would have been fine. May I just point out that I also developed a cold on Saturday night/Sunday morning so I wasn't feeling too good. :(

When the Arena doors opened we were directed to the standing area, where we queued again. This was the final queue and the excitement felt at that moment was unexplainable.

The very nice attendants, I think that's what you call them, let us into the actual arena in a single file line, this was a bit of a nightmare as we were in such a wide queue previously. However, I can understand there reasons for doing it; health and safety for example- it would have been crazy letting all those people just run to the front of the arena, there would have been some trampling.

When we finally picked our spot for the night, roughly about 10 rows of people from the front, we sat down to save our leg energy.

And then about an hour later, the support acts started to come on; Jamie Lawson and Saint Raymond. Jamie was first. He is brilliant. He is quite similar to Ed's style of music, so if you like Ed then your bound to like Jamie. He sung this one song called 'I wasn't expecting that' and honestly the song speaks for it's self. I swear my mum is obsessed with that song now, she must have played it 3 times Monday Morning. I'll leave a link to that song on YouTube and to his page below. Saint Raymond reminded me a lot of The 1975. They have the same edge and quirkiness that The 1975 possess. There songs were very catchy and you also found yourself wanting to dance even though you hadn't heard them before. My mum said she thought they were ''very eighties''. Probably because they used a lot of synthesizers.

Now for the big act.

ED SHEERAN EVERYBODY.

Ahhhhhhhhhh. He was so incredibly perfect. He sang the majority of my favourite songs including Tenerife Sea and Thinking Out Loud. He also played an amazing combination of one of his songs and a Backstreet Boy's song. Which my brothers girlfriend loved as she is a huge Backstreet Boys fan. Ed's ability to go from rapping about his life to singing so sweetly the words every girl wants their partner to say is something that needs to be spoke about more. His talent to play the guitar so expertly, get the crowd wanting him to never leave and appearing very awestruck and down to earth is something of a rare gift amongst worldwide stars- his performance's are something that should be truly cherished. He is one of a kind. I couldn't have asked for a better night. The backdrop/set of his concert was extraordinary, It consisted of roughly 7 screens. To which different animations and live videos of the concert were shown throughout the show. Accompanied by some well timed lighting. Not at all like some concerts I've gone to where the lights have blinded you every 5 seconds. The entire layout of the lighting and backdrop added to the hypnotising atmosphere. I danced, sang, laughed and cheered the night away. If only it could have gone on for longer. But sadly, the night did have to come to an end sometime.

There is no doubt in my mind that when Ed Sheeran tours again I will be attending. If I could I'd be back there tonight if it wasn't for this cold.

Anyway, if you haven't listened to Ed's music, first off what have you been listening to lately?! and secondly I will leave a link for you crazy people below.

If you'd like to see more posts like this- of when I go to concerts then please leave a comment :)

Get ready with me... Ed Sheeran Concert Edition.

As I mentioned in my last post I am going to see Ed Sheeran this weekend and I thought I'd show you what outfit I've opted for.

I decided to go for plain black skinny jeans. These are one of my favourite pairs of jeans, they are really fitted but extremely comfy at one point it seemed that these were the only jeans I was wearing. These are available from New Look.

I then added my look-a-like 'Doc Martens' which are actually made by 'Goldigga'. These are my go-to boots for the winter if I'm wanting to create a grunge look. Originally, they came with black laces but after I so cleverly sucked them p the hoover I had to purchase some new ones and so I bought these striking orange ones. They were from a local shoe shop but I'm pretty sure you can get them at most high-street stores that sell shoes. I picked these to wear for Ed Sheeran as I knew that we were going to go quite early so the comfiest footwear I had would be essential.

I actually love this t-shirt! I've had it for quite some time now, probably from like the start of the summer but I am still in love with it. Look how cute the likkle kitty is. awwwww. This is like a cross between a crop top and a box t-shirt; it's not quite short enough to call it a crop top but not quite long enough or boxy enough to call it a box t-shirt. And because this is one of my many favourite t-shirts this was obviously the only one I was going to wear to an Ed Sheeran Concert. Plus, don't you think Ed Sheeran's ginger hair just reminds you of a cute lil' tabby cat?

No. Just me?

And here's a picture of my sexy fake 'Doc'ers' with my black jeans.

I hope you enjoyed this type of post, be sure to stay up-to-date with my blog over the next couple of days as I'll be doing a post of my night at Ed's concert and a holiday post.

Life

Hi guys,

So I just thought I'd let you know what's going on in my life recently.

I have one week left at school until we break up for half term which I can't wait to get to, as I feel like we're doing so much work and homework at the minute that my heads going to explode. I know Welcome to Year 11 right? I've been having a lot of coursework to be doing lately as well as controlled assessments and tests for our data entry which gets sent home to our parents :/ Plus last weekend was my friend's and my Nan's birthday so I had lots of Birthday Celebrations to attend <3

This weekend, I am going to be really busy again as I am going to see Ed Sheeran in Concert. I am soooooooooo excited! We're standing as well, which I always thinks adds to the atmosphere and hysteria:) I might even give you a review type post of the concert if I have the time, in between homework.

I will also be packing for my holiday as the following week (half term week) I will be going to Spain with my family. I'm quite excited about going away abroad on holiday, however I am a bit anxious about it all as I haven't been abroad since I was quite little. I'm hoping to take some beautiful photos for you to admire when I get back along with all the goss' about my time in Spain.

Tomorrow I'm going to do a post for you guys, so please look forward to that.

Can I please just thank anyone who takes the time to read this blog, whether it's just this one post or everyone I do, it really means a lot to me. So please keep telling your friends about my blog and spreading the word of my little space in the internet world.

My Favorite Autumn Outfit

Seeing as though it's my favourite season I thought I'd share with you what I'm loving to wear in these chilly months. The look below is smart casual and is very easy to dress up or down. In the pictures I have obviously gone for a casual look and I would probably wear this when going to do a bit of shopping or if I'm going out with my friends.

I really like this outfit as it's perfect for those days when it's sweater weather in the morning but by mid day your needing a trusty t-shirt. And if you still wanted to go with this style but wanted to keep a little warmer you could add, thicker tights, a parka and a cute beanie. Don't be scared to layer this outfit up!

I really enjoyed making this post, if you want to see more posts like this; more photos then please drop me comment below :) On Sunday this week I'm going to see Ed Sheeran Live so expect a post from me on Monday or Tuesday telling you all about my what-I-hope-to-be amazing night

My favourite youtubers.

Since youtubers were my inspiration to join the blogging community I thought I'd share with you which beauty/fashion youtubers I love to watch and why.

1. Zoella- Zoella was the first youtuber I began to watch. I instantly loved her videos and how she isn't always serious in her videos. She has a laugh and seems like a completely normal and down to earth person who you could get along with really easily. Plus, you can tell that she really loves her job and is very passionate about it. I can't wait to purchase something from the Zoella beauty range and to read her new book.

2. Velvetgh0st- Gabby, she's crazy, funny, talented and beautiful. Gabby also seems like a person who you could get along with very easily and she is definitely one of the people who I would like to meet. I love Gabby's sense of style and she is like the only youtuber that I have found that also doesn't like the smell of Soap and Glory's 'Sugar Crush'.

3. Inthefrow- I absolutely loveeeee Victoria's hair, it is so pretty. I wish I could dye my hair pastel shades but school is super strict about hair dye. Plus, I don't think it would suit me as I have really dark hair. I have only recently discovered Inthefrow but it absolutely love her videos and I really like her layout/theme for her YouTube and blog.

4. Sprinkleofglitter- Chummy. How can you not love Louise's videos, especially when baby glitter makes an appearance. I particularly love louise's love of just chatting at the camera and her collabs with Zoella as them two together is like tweedle dum and tweedle dee.

5. Tanya Burr- Firstly, aren't Tanya and Jim like the cutest people ever??! :) Tanya's channel is one of my favourites because I think she does the best make-up tutorials and looks. She is brilliant and her 'get ready with me' videos are the best, Plus, we have the same glasses :)

6. Katie Joslin- Katie is a youtuber that is just starting out. I only found out about her as she followed me on twitter, so I checked out her channel. I think she is brilliant at making videos and could really go on to be quite a big youtuber if she keeps on. I love her lookbooks and her videos where she just sits down and chats at the camera.

If you want to check out any of these youtubers the links will be below and if you think of any youtubers that you think I might like then please leave me a comment below. I'd love to here from you and hear what you think.

Just an update.

I am so sorry I didn't update last weekend. My internet wasn't working for ages and then when it did start working my laptop wouldn't let me log in for at least 3 days. And on top of all the technical difficulties I have also had a lot of revision to do and homework as I have just started my final year at high school.

I have also just reached over 200 followers on my Amazine page so I am extremely grateful for that. Thank you :)

Once again, I am really sorry. I've been dying to post something and I promise you I will definitely post at least once this weekend.

Until then, goodbyeeeee. I hope you have a brilliant rest of the week.

Leah-Marie xo

hats, hats, hats

So it's coming up to Autumn (if it's not already here) and so I've been looking online for various Autumn/Winter accessories and oh my goodness I am really loving all the different sorts of hats and capes and wrap overs and scarves. I JUST LOVE AUTUMN CLOTHING

I've never really been someone to wear hats, I've been told they suit me but I haven't actually worn them much. But I am really loving Fedora's and Cloche hats. Omg. I am in love. I can guarantee pretty soon you'll be seeing a hat haul from me.

I'm also loving the winter transition from the summer-must-have kimonos to the winter-wrap-up capes. I think they are so pretty and elegant. They just look like they would make you feel like a movie star sauntering around New York carrying really big shopping bags. I don't know, that's just what I think of when I see them.

I really want a classic black leather bag this winter aswell. I just can't wait to do an Autumn haul.

What's in my bag tag- School Edition.

As it is the start of September many of you have probably gone back to, or started high school ,or college and because of this I came up with the idea of combining a 'what's in my bag' tag with a school essentials type thing. It also then gives you some ideas about what you might need if your starting a new stage in your education; everything from beauty to planning covered.

My bag is actually an old season Next leather look shoulder bag, that I happened to stumble upon in a charity shop. Now at school we have been told that we are having bigger books this year and so my bag is bigger so I can fit them in; it is slightly bigger than your average shopper bag. It has a quite large oblong pocket at the front which would be perfect for those of you who have large purses and also a zip compartment at the front which is really hand for throwing your phone in and headphones- this pocket is actually quite deceiving and is bigger than it looks. The main section of the bag is what feels like suede lined (although I don't think it is) and has an inner pocket, phone slot and slightly larger slot next to it for, lets say your camera. It has also got a large zip pocket on the back of the bag.

In the first large pocket of my bag there is a small packet of tissues and a compact mirror. I can tell you now that after a few weeks this is also where I will find a hoard of lip products that I have felt like I haven't seen in years as this is what usually happens. Honestly, last year I ended up with roughly 5 various lip products in my blazer pockets. Currently, there is only one lipstick in there, which is a YBF lipstick in shade popular primrose. It is such a pretty everyday shade. I love it! And the mirrored packaging is super cute too... although I can't find a link to leave you, sorry.

The main section of my bag is filled with 5 school books, my media folder, a tattered copy of 'Lord Of The Flies' and my pink lunchbox. My pencil case is also in this section. It is from Home Bargains an was only 99p as I thought that there was no point in spending money on an expensive pencil case when it was my last year. It has a really pretty montage effect print on it of leopard and zebra print in bright colours, the zip is also a pastel blue, which is one of my favourite colours at the minute. Also in my bag there is my body spray, which comes in handy after a hard P.E lesson; 'Charlie' in scent 'Enchant'. I'm rubbish at describing smells so basically on the back it says ''charismatic blend of wild apple, honeysuckle and coconut''. I don't know what that is suppose to mean but it does smell really pretty, this is my go-to body spray at the minute. In the phone pocket I have got my ''Mini Ted Baker body spray'' which is described as being a compromise ''of rose sandalwood and juicy raspberry that smells as good as it looks''. Ok, no need to be so cocky Ted Baker. Aha. But it does actually look really pretty.

In the last back pocket of my bag there is the instructions to my calculator (which is in the front zip section sorry :/ ) and a next carrier bag. Which I use for when my coat or umbrella gets wet in the morning, I can put it in there so that it doesn't get everything else wet. Clever thinking on my part methinks.

If you enjoyed reading this post (I knew I enjoyed writing it then please drop me a comment. Thank you for reading, have a nice day,
Leah-Marie xo
