The Blogger Tag!

Hello! The other day I discovered that Mo on Everything Mo had tagged me in The Blogger tag! It is so lovely and exciting to get tags especially since I haven't been blogging that long :)

1) Why did you start blogging?

 

To be honest I'm not exactly sure why, it just looked really exciting and a great thing to be part of. I attempted a craft blog a year ago but I didn't have the time or energy to keep making bracelets that I would blog about so it just became a lost cause but I fancied  giving it another try and here I am! :)

2) Who's your idol?

This is such a hard question because I don't really have one but then there are so many people I could say are my idol like Diane Fossey for all her work with gorillas (I want to do that one day) or some of the authors I read.

3) If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

The jungle! Or rainforest or just the middle of nowhere. I love forests and just being in the middle of nowhere and the jungle has so many interesting creatures in I think it would just be in heaven (as long as i had bug spray). But then I would want a house just so I could decorate it the way I want with bright white walls and pops of colour and lot's and lot's of books so I guess I will have to settle for the middle of nowhere.

4) What's your signature scent?

This is probably really boring compared to everyone else but it's a Superdrug own brand called 'Seduce' and ever since I brought one, it has been the only thing I have sprayed myself with, I really love it.

5) What's your favourite makeup brand?

I am so rubbish when it comes to makeup! I have my everyday routine including foundations and eyeliner and that is it. But I think I shall go with Rimmel as it's where most of my products are from.

6) Would you choose high street or high end fashion?

High street. My fashion sense is awful and I am so bad at shopping for clothes. I find my favourite tops and jeans and thats what I am happy wearing until they give up on me (my favourite jeans ripped the other day and it broke my heart). 

7) What's your favourite song?

My favourite song changes constantly but right now I will have to go for Westside off the new Kooks album.

8) What's your favourite album?

This changes with my mood but at the moment, the new Kooks album, Listen.

9) Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?

I haven't used Facebook for over a year now, I have days where I love Instagram and days where I completely forget about it so I am definitely a Twitter person.

10) Which celebrity styles inspire you?

Since I am not a fashionable person I think I am aloud to like a man's style (I'm not copying it, I'm not that bad) but I like Luke Pritchard's jumpers and strange trousers (Kook's theme starting - no shame). I also like Emma Robert's style ALOT but I am hopeless at keeping up with it.

11) What's your best Holiday?

CHRISTMAS! All my friends and family know what a christmas lover I am and I have no shame in it at all. I love the lead up to it, all the gold and red decorations and the cold and the films and the happiness and the roast dinners and the fires and the snow (hopefully) and all the treats and rubbish food you are aloud to eat. I also love going shopping and buying everyone presents and cards.

I would like to tag;

Reading Festival! Sunday

Sunday was the last and most eventful day at the festival and one of my favourite bands 'The Kooks' were playing so I was SO excited :)

Sunday was supposed to start off with watching 'Emily's Army' (just because my name is Emily too) but instead we got nachos for breakfast (healthy right?) and watched the end of 'Flyt' and the start of 'The Royal Concept'.

I think it was about half one when I went on twitter and found that The Kooks were going to be at the signing tent so off we went to a merch stall and got ourselves a 'Down' T-Shirt and waited in the line for The Kooks. I was so excited I was shaking. When we got there we weren't allowed to take photos and we were only allowed to take one thing to sign which sucked, but, we could take photos as long as we weren't on the platform they were sat on so I waited till the end and tried to take a photo of them all as they left. Unfortunately they decided to stand up and leave at different times but I don't care I still got a photo of them up close :) They signed my T-Shirt and it is now my favourite thing in my wardrobe (I'm not going to wear it don't worry). 

After all that excitement we watched the end of Jungle's set which ended nicely I think with sounds of the jungle.

Then we went to the Alternative stage to watch Sean Walsh but ended up watching Paul McCaffrey too who was funnier than I thought he would be. Sean Walsh's set turned a nice way when everyone decided to clap along with him.

At 4:30 we went and watch Maverick Sabre on a whim and found he was really good.

The plan was to stay at that tent now until The Kooks started so we watch Schoolboy Q which I kinda liked even though I'm not really into that sort of music.

6:30 was the time The Kooks started playing so I got into the centre of the crowd as soon as I could. I don't really like crowds but I had decided I would cope so I could see them. However, the crowd that was forming for them was sooo big it was out of the tent and people kept pushing so I decided to get out and ended up watching from the outside quite away back so I barely heard them. There were people climbing up the tent posts and on the sign for the tent so I was glad I got out to be honest. But it doesn't matter that I didn't see them properly because I've got tickets for them when they play in November (I'm so excited).

The Sunshine Underground started playing in the Festival Republic tent so we went and watched them and had a good dance. 

Then it was time for The 1975 which we watched from outside the tent but they were still fabulous. They played all my favourites, 'The City', 'M.O.N.E.Y' and 'Chocolate'.

We finished the night sat watching Blink-182 who I don't think we as good live but we still had a good time singing along to 'I Miss You', 'Feeling This' and 'What's My Age Again?'.
