Summer in the City, Future Cinema - Grease

Last Friday a friend (The beautiful Amberooney:) and I went to Future Cinemas Grease.

As some of you can probably remember, I went to the Bugsy Malone one a bit earlier in the year, and so was really looking forward to this extravaganza.

It was in a Schools field in south London. Between deciding whether to hang out in Frenchies house and get a vintage hair-do, or go and jive to the band (jiving won!) we managed to get round most of the activity's. I love the fact you can really pick out the people acting the characters of the film, they wonder around mingling with the crowd ,T-birds flirting with all the pretty girls and the cheer leaders showing off their skills. I would love to be part of one of their shows:)

It was a perfect sunny evening and as the sun went down everyone took to the bottom of the field when the big screen started playing the opening bars of Summer loving.

Much singing and dancing ensued:) 

Honestly if you are a fellow UK dweller please try out Future Cinema. It really is a cinema experience unlike any other:)

Thank you Future Cinema . . . .Grease is the word:)

Happy Friday everyone!

Summer in the city - Spitalfields and Brick lane

So exactly a week ago we had a lovely bank holiday here in the Uk to celebrate the end of our summer:) Surprisingly it wasn't raining, which is usual, so some friends and I decided to head east to the area around Liverpool Street station.

Spitalfields is an old undercover Victorian market, and is one of my favourites.

Not the cheapest mind, but really good for a look if you like antique and vintage wears with some interesting shops and cafe's around the outside too:) 

 

Absolute Vintage is a fantastic vintage shop around the corner, if you fancy spending a few hours getting lost amongst the rails I recommend this delight on Hanbury Street:)

Another Gem of a vintage shop, book shop and coffee shop all rolled into one. Bit pricey but the brownies are to die for:) And the cute coffee guy makes them himself.

The east of London I would love to explore a bit more in the future, anyone got any tips for cool places?

Hope you all had a spiffing weekend and a Happy Monday:)

Summer in the city - The 39 steps

I have had a lovely weekend with friends, spending time down by the Southbank, dancing at the beautiful (very hot!!) Rivoli Ballroom, eating a lot of food and then finally last night dressing up to go to the theatre to see The 39 Steps:)

It was such a joyful play. Its my favourite Hitchcock anyway, but as a play I think its even better. Only 4 people play all of the characters. . . . .with a very dapper gent playing Richard Hanney, light brown curly hair and a 'rather fetching pencil moustache' :)

It was fun to dress up as well, people don't dress up for the theatre enough in my opinion.

 Some nice wine in the interval:)

Ps. How amazing are my friend Mr G's trousers??? he out dressed us girls too easily for my liking:)

Hope you all had a lovely weekend? get up to much? 

Happy Tuesday everyone:)
