NYC 3- New York, New York, A Wonderful Town

March 30, 2015

We’d been so lucky with the weather during our stay in the Big Apple, but sadly, that dream died a wet soggy death on Saturday morning. Rain pelted down and the streets were grey and full of puddles. Good then, that this was the morning I chose to go and queue for matinee tickets at TKTS. I got really wet (and not in the good way wheyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy). So to dry off, we decided to go to a New York institution for some good old-fashioned NY Brunching. BALTHAZAR. I’ve ...

March 30, 2015

As we awoke on our second full day in the Big Apple, we were greeted by another GLORIOUS SPRING DAY.

After landing, ...

Chic feat. Nile Rodgers at The Roundhouse

March 23, 2015

On Saturday I fulfilled a massive TICK off my wish-list- to see Chic live. Ever since I saw the footage of their Glastonbury set in 2013 (I have actually never been to a music festival because I have a deep set fear of camping and portaloos. AREN’T YOU JUST WET ALL THE TIME?!) I have harboured a burning desire to see them play live. AND IT WAS EVERYTHING I DREAMED OF AND MORE! Turning up at Camden’s Roundhouse, I met my friend Hannah, who gleefully informed me that she was ...
