HYPER JAPAN 2014


A couple of weeks ago, I went to a festival called Hyper Japan which is basically a giant celebration of Japanese culture. There was amazing food, kawaii & harajuku fashion, lots of cosplayers, video games and so much manga. It was amazing.





Above is Emily and I signing up to Karaoke (aka our death wish). It was actually surprisingly fun screaming My Chemical Romance across the exhibition hall. And luckily for you, there is footage of this in my vlog at the end of the post.


An actual Japanese person came up to me and said my outfit was 'so kawaii', so I basically win at life.


Me chillin with Luffy from One Piece. The cat I'm holding is from one of my all time favourite animes, Fairy Tail. He is the best character ever. My T-shirt has the Attack on Titan Logo too. ALL THE ANIMES.



Making Origami cranes and winning at a new Naruto video game.


And finally, here is my vlog from the day (watch above or click HERE). I found these amazing shiny skirts (shown in the video) but I couldn't bring myself to spend £25 on one, so I'm thinking of doing a DIY? Let me know if that's something you'd like to see!

Somersault vlog & performance footage

I am currently writing from sunny and beautiful Mallorca right next to a pool and some mountains with snoring family members all around. It ain't half bad. Today I want to share the second part of my Somersault festival content. I made a cute montage/vlog of our day and also have some footage of all the performances we saw. Watch below or click HERE.


I have been a fan of Misty Miller's music for a few years now, so seeing her perform live was amazing. I also loved seeing Shannon Saunders as I recently started listening to her and then she started popping up everywhere, including Jacksgap. I ended up talking to her after her set and she was so lovely. My final favourite was We Were Evergreen. I hadn't listened to them that much before but they were so enjoyable to watch perform. You would think, listening to them on recording, that most of it is produced but they actually use all of the instruments you hear and do the coolest tricks with sound machines.

It was such an amazing day and I definitely want to go next year. Have any of you been to festivals recently?

Somersault festival

Last Sunday I headed down to Devon with my great friend Edie for Somersault festival. We walked down towards the festival through rows of tents and yurts, surrounded by hippies and fellow festival-goers. It was such an amazing atmosphere, so relaxed and yet bursting with energy. There was so much going on and I can't all include it in one post, so today's is outfits and activities, and my next post will be a vlog and about all the performances I saw.





Playsuit - Asos
Kimono - TK maxx
Shoes - Converse (bought in NYC)
Flower Crown - Forever 21
Sunglasses - Primark
Ring - Portobello market

This is what I wore. I'm so obsessed with my new black Asos playsuit and it is perfect for festivals. You can dance and move around and stay comfortable too. I've had this Kimono since last Autumn but it has been far too cold to wear it - until now. It's definitely become one of my Summer essentials, also perfect for festivals because you can stay cool on hot days and avoid sunburn on your shoulders!


Whilst in the hippy spirit, we both decided to get feathers in our hair! The stall was The Feather Tree! The same brand I wrote about in my Pure london blog (I'm actually listed on their site as part of the Press coverage of the brand). It was so good to see the brand was doing well and I LOVE my new feather extension. 


Above is Edie's feather extension and below is her super cute outfit. Her boho shorts are perfect <3




We started the day by heading over to the 'Well being' section, filled with massage tents, palm reading and yoga groups. There was an adorable caravan which held pom pom and decorative twig making, run by the lovely girls, Hattie & Flora. 





There was also this beautiful stream running through the area. People were swimming in it and dipping their feet, it was lovely.





At night, there were lights everywhere, giving this very soft nostalgic glow as we left. It was such a wonderful day. The best part was obviously the music, so stay tuned for my next post to hear all about that!
