Urban Perk #1

Hey Everyone,

I've been away in Istanbul (hence the lack of 

content) but I'm back now!

Since the weekend is on it's way I'm going to show

you some inspiration on where you could go 

this weekend. This is my first Urban Perk

post of many to come (I hope), these locations 

are chosen based on factors such as People, 

Entertainment, Price and Fun/Interesting-ness.

The locations are aimed at Teens who want to 

explore further than the nearest shopping

center.

Warning: Be prepared to discover new territory, home to 

the world's wildest.

Urban Perk #1: Southbank Real Food Market

Entertainment: Food, an occasional vintage fair, 

entertainers on the river

People: Friendly ~ Price: £

The Southbank Real Food Market takes place every

weekend (Fri-Sun) and offers a gorgeous variety

of food, from Chorizo to Chapatis even the pickiest

of eaters will find something to their liking. 

And not only that but after buying your food you

can walk down to the Thames and watch the Skateborders 

backside and bail at the skate park or laugh with

the  entertainers on the riverside. 

My favourite part of visiting the Southbank is

watching the oh-so-cool skateborders try out 

new tricks. And if the weather's good, the 

River Thames sparkles magnificently whilst boats

and tourists cross by boat and bridge. 

Here are some photos I took on my visit a few

weeks ago:

Southbank Skate Park

Amazing Brownies!

Fresh Juices 

Creperie Lui

Hotdog!

Be sure to check out the hotdogs and brownies,

they're seriously good!

Love,

Poppy 

Ps. A new interview will be posted on 

Saturday :D

Top Summer Festivals (UK) 2014

Hey Everyone,

So I thought that since summer is coming up soon

you might be looking at some music 

festivals to go to...

Therefore, I have put together a small collection
 of the top UK festivals to see this summer
(although I am basing this on the blog's music
taste)!

Field Day
Date: 7th-8th June 2014
Location: Victoria Park, London
It may be over 18s only, which is probably
quite a bonus for you adults, but this festival
has a brilliant line-up! The Pixies, Drenge,
Metronomy and Temples are all to bless the
stage and in previous years Beirut and The Vaccines
have headlined too! So, if you enjoy the rock/indie 
music scene then this one is for you.

Bestival

Date: 4th-7th September 2014

Location: Robin Hill, Isle of Wight

Bestival; a festival of music, food and the arts.

Every year this festival comes back with a stronger 

line-up than ever before. Foals, Paloma Faith,

Chvrches and Laura Mvula are set to perform as well

as Public Service Broadcasting (for the more

alternative/electronic musician inside you).

This perky festival is a celebration of all things

fresh and "out-there".

Latitude

Date: 17th-20th July 2014

Location: Henham Park, Southwold, Suffolk

Having been to this festival a few times I can honestly

say that it is wonderful! Music, Poetry, Film and Comedy

create a lively, atmospheric vibe. People of all ages

flock to Suffolk annually for entertainment, amazing food 

and beautiful scenery. Named 2nd best festival of 2013,

Latitude gets all the best acts; this year Damon Albarn,

Crystal Fighters, Bombay Bicycle Club and George Ezra

have been announced! 

T in the Park
Date: 11th-13th July 2014
Location: Kinross-Shire, Scotland
Yes, it may be in Scotland but don't let this killer
festival put you off. The fantastic line-up includes:
The Pixies, Imagine dragons, Haim, The Arctic Monkeys,
Bastille and dozens more!! If you want a festival
with a broad music scene then this is perfect! 
A smaller-than-average no-nonsense festival
for the music lover in you, get the tickets
soon or they'll go!

The Garden Party

Date: 24th-27th July 2014

Location: Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire

The Garden Party is a lovely festival with the

best new artists including MO, Wolf Alice,

Big Deal and Foxes. Set in a dreamy indie/hipster

forest setting this festival is artistic and 

magical. A must-see!

I'm hoping this may come into some use for

you festival-scavengers! 

Of course I am aware that I didn't include

Glastonbury or the Isle of Wight festival

but I wanted to give some smaller festivals a 

chance.

Have a magical Friday :D

New Look Mini-Spree

Afternoon Everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long I have

been so busy with homework and I haven't had 
my laptop to post from! 

I wanted to post a video of a tour of my room
but the format isn't compatible with blogger,
so I won't be able to! :(

However, I did just go on a mini-spree and
bought a series of items I'm very happy with!
(All from New Look) 

 

White Boxy Shirt £14.99

Black Gingham Skirt £9.99

Round Frame Sunglasses £4.99

Black Tie Dye crop top £12.99

Star Product: 

Blush Rose Garland £3.99

I love the Rose Garland because it's so easy to wear 

yet it looks effortlessly hippie-like. You

can buy them in a variation of styles, colours and sizes

so they're perfect for everyone and every outfit. 

I would encourage you to purchase one if you're hitting 

the festivals this spring/summer! ;)

Have a lazy Sunday!
