The Hives: Lex Hives


Outfit:
Mesh Pointelle Top: Missbehaver
Bralet: Topshop
Disco Pants: American Apparel
Suede Wedges: Office
Necklace: Missbehaver

Ignore the slightly awkward pose. This outfit was before I saw The Hives at Manchester Academy, last night. I wore a leather jacket (from ASOS) over the top when I was outside, making me slightly more warm outside in the cold December air.
The night was great, The Hives performed even better than my already high expectations - I saw them at Leeds Festival in the summer and they pretty much made my whole weekend!
The band looked great in their usual ensemble of top hats and tuxedos, Pelle, in particularly, looked hot and engaged in his usual banter with the crowd (I have a bit of a huge crush on him).
The atmosphere was also amazing and friendly; the crowd was a mixture of older generations and younger generations, I think I fit somewhere in between. 
The Hives played an excellent set, playing some songs from Veni Vidi Vicious which brought me back to my childhood and finishing on the legendary Tick Tick Boom, where Pelle made the whole of the crowd all sit on the floor for a short while before the music kicked in big time. 
This was the first gig I'd been to since Leeds Festival and I'm hoping I don't have to wait as long again to watch another band.
I haven't really written any music reviews before so please excuse any poor choice of words/grammar here, I'm hoping to start going to more gigs though next year so my writing WILL improve, watch this space!

Drape Arm Vest Top: Topshop

This is one of my favourite outfits and I thought I would upload the photograph of it to this blog as it feels like a shame not to. This is from Leeds Festival 2011 and let me tell you it was the rainiest and best one yet!
