Bonfire Night

 Bonfire night is one of my favorite nights of the year. I love it. This year we went to Ascot Racecourse to see the charity display and it was fantastic! They have newly moved the event to the Grandstand and it was lovely to get a drink at the 'Winners Bar' (one day) before the display began. The music was especially good - mostly pieces composed by John Williams, so tunes that everyone could recognise from their favorite family films.

Festival Fashion : Jamela Jimal at Lovebox

Lovebox music festival was this weekend with an awesome line-up of music acts to help kick-start the festival season in the UK. Celebrity spots included Kelly Osbourne and Jaime Winstone in the crowds and Beth Ditto, Likke Li, Hot Chip, Crystal Castles, Lana Del Rey on stage, amongst others. Marie Claire have posted this image of T4's Jamela Jimal in their Festival Fashion section and doesn't she look amazing!? The perfect combination of dressed up glamour and relaxed rock-chick style, this outft is ticking all the boxes for me. Neutrals, sequins, leather tailoring and most importantly for a festival - comfy shoes! Inspiration for the summer events to come. 

Delilah - Inside My Love

I am obsessing over this.

Sociability Review : Professor Green at Public, Chelsea

Last Thursday I celebrated the end of a busy week by hitting the streets of Chelsea for a friends birthday. I had a day in London with work so went to meet a few friends to support a friend of mine in a play in Marylebone. He had co-written and was performing in a range of scenes put on for an audience of friends, family and talent scouts and it was a fantastic start to the evening because it was a funny, feel-good show and it was fantastic to see a friend doing something they love so well! 

Next we went to meet a few more friends - very boy meets girl - and ended up in Public, a club made oh-so-famous recently by the 'Made In Chelsea' crowd. As expected considering the theme of the night the cast were there in their numbers. (Professor Green is currently dating Millie MacIntosh of the show, FHM's number 10 most sexy woman this year and fashion-savvy cast member.)

In terms of interior, the bar / club has an underground yet glamorous, chic vibe and the clientele are fabulously stylish and out for a good night. The bar is made of copper and the tables around the edge of the dance floor give the place a relaxed feel. Larger on he inside than I initially thought the main room was heaving when Professor Green started to perform and the energy was ridiculous. Ever a believer that music is always better live I am sticking to my guns yet again. Having never really been a massive fan of Pro Green's music I was apprehensive as to how much I would enjoy but I am a true convert. Staying until the lights came on was almost expected and my group of friends were certainly not alone in that opinion. 

In summary - is Public worth a visit? Yes. I had a great night. If up-market, sophisticated glamour is your style you can't go wrong. Expect high prices, higher heels and an eclectic and varied playlist.

Reading and Leeds Festival Line-ups

 Announced by Annie Mac on Radio 1 tonight were the line-ups for Reading and Leeds festivals 2012. Headlining this year will be The Foo Fighters, Kasabian and The Cure. Whilst I would rather go to Global Gathering or The Secret Garden Party to enjoy a different genre of music, I can appreciate the excitement for these events this year. An exciting collection of performances and no doubt some scandalous diva-esque behaviour to be reported, these festivals are what English summer is about!

Hairspray the musical

I was lucky enough to go to see Hairspray the musical at Star City a few weeks back. It was one of those completely random events and started with a few casual Sunday drinks at the Beresford in Surry Hills. We went with friends and met up with friends of thiers. They happened to have spare tickets - winning - and for free - again, winning. 

I love going to see a musical and this one was certainly a feel good, spring in you step end to the weekend. The singing was beautiful and the dancing lively. I wouldnt say its up there with my top theatre performances as it was a little pantomimey for me but it was a lovely evening all the same and so kind of Helen to invite us along! Theatre in Sydney...check!
