Music tag

Music is one of my biggest passions. I know a lot of people say this but I don't know where I'd be without it. I haven't actually been tagged to do this but I saw it on tumblr and figured it would be a nice thing to pop on my blog since no one really knows anything about me.

1 - A song you like with a colour in the title? White Riot by The Clash

2 - A song you like with a number in the title? Vermillion Pt. 2 by Slipknot

3 - A Song that reminds you of summer? The Joker by Steve Miller Band

 

4 - A song that reminds you of people you would rather forget about? Say Goodnight by Bullet For My Valentine

5 - A song that needs to be played loud? Thou Shalt Always Kill by Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip

6 - A song that makes you want to dance? Ever Fallen In Love by Buzzcocks

7 - A song to drive to? When We Were Younger by SOJA

8 - A song about drugs or alcohol? Because I Got High by Afro Man

9 - A song that makes you happy? Peace Sign by LIGHTS

10 - A song that makes you sad? Skyscraper by Demi Lovato

11 - A song that you never get tired of? Raise Your Weapon by Deadmau5

12 - A song from your preteen years? I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco

13 - One of your favourite 80’s songs? Call Me by Blondie

14 - A song that you would love played at your wedding? Everlong by Foo Fighters

15 - A song that is a cover by another artist? Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson

I tag anyone who wants to do it!

Style Crush Thursday || #2

Second week of showing you guys who my current style inspiration is... But this time, I've changed the name to "Style Crush" instead of "Style Inspo".

This post was supposed to go up last week but apparently I can't work the "Schedule" button sooo...

 In fact, on Saturday, I had my photo taken for a local style competition in town. I looked a mess that day so I know I won't win but it was nice to be recognised! 

So this week, my style crush is...

Claire Boucher also known as Grimes!

If there is anyone that can walk around with randomly bleached hair, a fringe cut just a little too short and totally get away with it, it's Grimes. 

The 26-year-old Canadian is a producer, artist, musician, singer-songwriter and music video editor. Super talented, right? And her style is completely unique. We see girls everywhere adopting a similar grunge style with their hair, make-up and clothing - and it's a look I adore! But Boucher takes it to a whole new level.

I almost feel like someone has pulled her out of one of those retro polaroids on Tumblr.

Her music is not necessarily "grunge" though, despite her appearance. I can't quite put her in a bracket, which is something else I love about Boucher. Even her music is completely unique and a style which she likes to call "ADD music" as it shifts frequently and dramatically.

To me, Grimes' music is almost a pop experiment.

As you can probably tell, I love pretty much everything about her. 

And look.........

She was rocking black fingers way before Lorde!

Here is one of the popular songs by Grimes... Hope you enjoy and appreciate her talent (and of course, style!).

Style Inspo Thursday

I have had so many blogs in the past. Most of them were ranting blogs with a touch of fashion. This blog has taken more of a beauty angle. This was not by choice but I'm loving it so far! 

Anyway, I've come up with a new idea which I will hopefully think of a better name for by next week. 

Each Thursday, I am going to post my current style icon. 

This could be a celebrity, my best friend or even someone off the street or internet.

So to kick start it all, here is Joan Jett!

Back in 2010, I saw Green Day at the Lancashire County Cricket Ground. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts supported. She came out in a black, leather-look catsuit with a low v-neck and a belt around her hips. She had no bra on and her stage presence was brilliant - she was incredible. This was the day that I completely fell in love with her style and her (see below).

I don't think there are many women out there that can carry the outfits Jett wears - 'cept maybe Kristen Stewart in film "The Runaways"! I love her hair and minimal yet completely perfect makeup.

Anyone else get a kind of Sandy at the end of Grease feel from the last photo? 

I won't bombard you with too many photos, but here is probably one of her most famous songs for you guys to enjoy...

I love Britney, but no one should cover this song. 

And please appreciate how amazing she looks all in red!
