What to do next month...?

So like I said I will try and keep this going every month, I have been busy searching the internet looking for exciting and interesting things to do...I managed to come up with a few ideas for you all to have a look at. Some I wish I could go to but I'm sadly doing other things (everything happens in the same weekend!) 

Walk down the Boardwalk -

A big fan on Boardwalk Empire or just love 20' and 30's Art Deco? Well this fair is right up your street! 13th-14th September at Eltham Palace £10.20 for entry but by the sounds of it, it's well worth the entry fee.

Get your dancing shoes on -

This sounds amazing to me, but what do you think? If you like 60's R&B, Soul, Gospel, R'nR and Ska then this is going to be heaven for you! On it's 3rd month and only £5 entry fee, it's worth a try...5th September it's your chance to WOW the dance floor. For a list of DJ's see the link below.

Spitalfields Market - 

The vintage market at Spitalfields is on every week but it's a good idea to pencil it into your diary to go and visit at some point. Selling Vintage clothes starting from 20's and going all the way to the 80's, you are bound to find some hidden treasures! From hats to furniture, they have it all. With events happening every week of the month, you will always find something to do while your there other than shopping.

Look like Elvis - 

Now although having your hair cut at a Rockabilly hairdressers isn't actually classed as an 'event', you should make the trip to this London hairdressers who do some fabulous do's! I follow them on Instagram and they upload some fantastic pictures of their clients before and after hair and it WOW's me to see the transformation.

If you attend any suggested events, would be great if you send me some images for me to upload. Have a great weekend! 

Get the look....This is England

I follow a few Skinhead girls on social media and I absolutely love their style! From the traditional Chelsea hair cut to the newer tonic dresses, always looking smart wearing shirts and jumpers with some great bleached jeans or skirts. As well as the fantastic fashion I chose This is England as my movie of choice because it is fabulously acted, directed and written British film by Shane Meadows.

Shirt - 

I keep seeing some great brands out there for both Skinhead and Mods, I think it is great that they are targeting subculture fashion more now days as it makes it easier for people to branch out into to different styles. I follow Britac on Instagram they upload some great images of their customers wearing their products, this shirt is £49 from the Britac website (be sure to follow them on social media though!)

Jeans/Skirts - 

To get the bleached denim look on your jeans or skirt, you can buy them from any high street shop but for this example I am going to use Levis (if you can afford them, then definitely get your self a pair). Bleach the jeans your self rather than buying them pre bleached, this way you will get the correct look you will be wanting. These deep sea skinny jeans are £90 from the Levis website.

Boots/Shoes - 

Everyone associates Dr Martens with Skinheads and they are the best most comfortable and they last forever, so the amount of money you spend is totally worth it as they will last you years. These cherry red low laced boots are £100.

I hope you enjoyed the newest Get the look...if you have any suggestions for the next one, please feel free to leave me a comment on this post. 

Record of the month!

After going to the 100 club last Saturday, my first all nighter in months!! I decided I'm going to do a regular post of my favourite record each month, to introduce my readers too the kind of music I like to listen to. 

This record is close to my heart, it played at the first all nighter I went to - again the 100 club! It reminds me of my lovely soul family, every time I listen to it!

Oh baby don't you weep - Luther Ingram

Above are images I took of some of the soul family, at Rugby in February.

What was the first record you remember from a Northern Soul all nighter?
