Duvet Days Clothing

  I discovered Duvet Days recently on Depop and Immediately fell in love with their brand. They create custom made pieces from upcyling  bed sheets that we had as children  leaving you feeling very nostalgic and look pretty damn cool. They constantly get new fabrics and have so many to choose from, from Barbie, Disney, Star Wars and many more. Being custom made you have a variety of options in the style you want from skirts, tailored trousers, two pieces and hair scrunchies and you will be guaranteed excellent quality in the garments you purchase.

With so many options I found it hard to decide what I wanted because I wanted It all! I remained strict on myself and went with a cropped jumper with vintage Little Mermaid fabric from the 90s. What I love about this jumper is that the fabric is on both sides of it and the colours and detail are just stunning. The jumper itself is soft inside and the grey and green colours go with the fabric perfectly.

 

 I also decided to get a Return of the Jedi high waisted skirt which is made out of fabric from the 1980's, It is safe to say they don't make duvet covers like this anymore. The detail again is just amazing and fits perfectly with absolutely no discomfort like some high waisted skirts that I have worn previously. This company has filled my Disney and Star Wars loving heart with some of the best pieces clothing I have every purchased. If you are heading to a Disney park or a festival  or if like me you want something cool and cute to wear day to day then get yourself some pieces.

Star Wars Premiere Experience Part 1

At first I was not planning to do the Star Wars premiere because I heard that people would be camping a week in advance which I was not going to do so I forgot about it until a couple of days before. I found out that a friend of mine was going to be doing it, I figured I would ask them how many people were down there out of curiosity and it was probably best thing I have done. It turn t out there was only about 15 people so I grabbed my coat and bag and rushed down there to get a number. When I arrived I ran through Leicester Square Tube station and through the square itself until I found my friend and the other people waiting. After getting my breath back I got my number and I was lucky enough to be number 31! which shocked me considering that it was  Star Wars.

 Now I had a number I went back home for a few hours to finish of some coursework and have something to eat before having to spend a night in the cold with no sleep. I headed back to the Square around 8pm wearing lots of layers and carrying two big bags and a camping chair, I imagine the people on the tube probably thought I was strange. I met up with my friends who were also doing the premiere and to kill time we went to some of the stage doors in hopes of meeting some of the stars. Firstly we went to try meet Kenneth Branagh who at the time was apart of Harlequinade. Unfortunately he didn't come out so we went to try and meet Jim Broadbent who was performing in A Christmas Carol over the Christmas period. After waiting around half an hour he came out and I was lucky enough to get a photo with him and to get a photo of him portraying Professor Slughorn from the Harry Potter films signed as its my favourite film he is in. Overall he was very nice and signed for most of the people who waited.

By this time it had hit 11pm so me and friends decided to head back to the square to get settled for the evening assuming a lot of people would be turning up throughout the night. The night itself was quite entertaining because two other friends of  mine came and stood with us for a while after having a night out, amusing us with their drunken antics. Shortly after a bus driver came up to us and asked us what we were doing and ended staying for a while too because his bus had broken down. as time went on my friends and the bus driver left and things began to settle down and we just spoke among-st ourselves with only a couple more people turning up to queue. This really shocked me  but I wasn't going to complain and being a week day there were not many drunk or loud people around.

However..

When it got to around 5am a man approached us ( bare in mind its December) in Sandals, shorts and a sleeveless jacket and carried a back pack so I assumed he was here traveling but was shocked he was walking around in summer attire in the cold. Like other passers by he asked what we were doing and explained it was the Star Wars Premiere, this is were it got a bit strange. He began this very very  long story which I probably missed most of because it didn't made sense at all.Shortly after he had left  lots of people turnt up to get a number so from that point we were just waiting for our wristbands so that we could go home and rest up for the next day. Things began to get exciting from that point onward because press began turning up to interview us. Just in that morning I was interviewed by a journalists from The Evening Standard, Channel 5, ITV, LBC and some others. Overall it was all quite exciting and just made me even more excited for the premiere.

After a few hours more of waiting in the cold we finally got our wristbands, best part of this premiere was that security color coded the wristbands by the pens so I got to choose were I wanted to go without worrying about not getting a good space. After getting my wristbands I went on the hunt to buy some hair donuts and Star Wars attire to wear on the day it was safe to say I was pretty excited.

Camden

Yesterday me and my sister decided to go to Camden Lock to explore the markets and I realised just how much it has changed in the space of a year. A big part of the market was destroyed so that a school could be built and due to a fire the stables has changed and I am forever finding myself getting lost. Despite this there is still so much to see with the variety of shops and market stalls selling everything fromclothes, comics and vintage toys and a enough international cuisine to fill you up for life.
As for the part of the market that was demolished the wall that blocks it off has been painted with artwork that represents the best of Camden.

 
                                                                What I Wore

            I always have my hair down so I decided to experiment by doing two high buns and they are my
            new favourite thing. This hairstyle really goes well with 80s and 90s look that I went with.

Happy New Year

Firstly I must say sorry for my long absence, from October to December I had so many deadlines I had put everything on hold to get it all done. I am very happy to have time to once again do what I enjoy.
I can't believe how quickly the year has flown by and I would like to wish everyone a belated happy new year, I hope this brings you all success and happiness.
I thought I could start the year by sharing some of my goals for the year and some of the things that I hope to blog about.

1. Try and post more often
This something I struggle with, finding time for blogging, coursework and everything else, I this year I will be able to balance everything out and become more organised.

2. Start a YouTube channel
I have wanted to do this for a long time and now that I have a good camera I hope that I will finally find the confidence to sit and talk to a camera without feeling awkward. I have already created a background set up in my room so the next step will be to create a name and start filming.

3. Take part in more things
At university we have lots of different societies and I really want to be more active in what goes on so I am going to try and be a part of more things.

I only have 3 as I am not a resolutions person, I would love to hear yours and also If you have suggestions to what you want me to talk about on this blog then please let me know in the comments.
