The 1975 Concert | May 6, 2014

Hey guys,

Sorry there was no post last week.  I've been super busy with school and university stuff that I just didn't have time to do a quick post.  I actually have to make a post about the future of my blog because it does look like Stylishly Yours is coming to an end this year but I'll get into that in about a month or so, definitely keep your eye out for that post.  Anyways, this week I took a break from all my exhausting work to witness The 1975 in concert.  I absolutely love this band and their whole style and aesthetic so I was looking forward to this concert for months.  

I came late to the concert so I came during the end of Sir Sly's set. The three songs I heard were really good and I highly recommend the band.  I managed to catch all of Bad Suns' set though and it was absolutely amazing.  I have their EP, Transpose so I definitely recommend their music.  Salt and Cardiac Arrest are probably their most popular songs and worth the listen.

Finally, The 1975 came out.  I am literally in love with Matty Healy and I had the pleasure of meeting him a few months back by complete fluke while going to a Two Door Cinema Club concert.  He's one of the sweetest and genuine people I have ever met.  The 1975 put on a great show.  It was a fun little dance party with great energy.  The crowd was a bit pushy, thank God I wasn't close to the front, but I was comfortable and everyone just acted like best friends in my section.  It was an amazing experience and show.  The videos in order below are my favourite music video ever, Robbers (kind of want this life), and the live performance of probably my all time favourite and their most famous song, Sex.  I would totally recommend spending your money on seeing them live.  Their music is good, the crowd is good, it's all good.

Thank you so much for reading today's post.  I'm so sorry for being so busy lately.  I am trying my hardest to create quality posts because I would much rather have a well written post than no post at all.  Leave me a comment on your thoughts about The 1975, all opinions are welcome.  I love y'all xx

The Neighbourhood Concert - March 22nd, 2014

Hiiiii,

So a few weeks ago I went to the Neighbourhood's concert!  Oddly enough, this was my third time seeing them live but their first headlining show where I live.  I was super sick but I honestly went because I've been dying to get the Neighbourhood hoodie and I missed out the first two times (I did end up getting one this time). 

My concert outfit | Top: Aritizia (old) // Flannel: Tommy Hilfiger (old & my dad's) // Jeans: American Apparel // Shoes: Steve Madden (old)

I was actually kind of late to the concert so I missed the opening acts.  I ended up being pretty close to the front considering I got there pretty late.  The Neighbourhood was amazing live, as always however, it did suck a lot that the concert ended at 10:15 especially when they have a full album, a few EPs and a new album coming out they could have filled up the time.  The crowd was mainly teenage girls so there was a lot of pushing.  I did have a good time, despite being super sick.  Below is a video of the Neighbourhood's most popular song "Sweater Weather" performed at my concert.  If you like their sound, I would check out the songs A Little Death, Lurk, Let it Go and their new song for the new Spiderman movie, Honest.

Thank you so much for reading this post.  Be sure to leave comments below about what you think of the Neighbourhood.  I love you all, you mean the world to me.  Have an amazing week, until next time xx.

What's in My Travel Make-Up Bag? | March 2014

Hi everyone,

Since I am going away I figured I would just multi-task packing while telling you guys what beauty products I am bringing on vacation.  Keep in mind this is a tropical vacation so I don't plan on wearing a lot of make-up there but I am bringing some products for dinners and more dresses up stuff.  If this uploads on the day it's supposed to I am currently in Cuba having a fabulous time.  I come home next Sunday, so if I don't know if I'm going to be able to write a blog post on time next week so please bare with me.  Hopefully, I can write a Cuba post eventually since I treat my blog as a little diary and maybe take some Style Diaries.  So I'm going to shut up and just get to the make-up I am bringing to Cuba...

MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural in Medium Dark // Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in Sand // EOS Jasmine Lip Balm (flavour discontinued) // Amazing Cosmetics Concealer in Tan Golden // MAKE UP FOR EVER Lift Concealer in Dark Beige 2 // Benefit Watt's Up Luminizer //  MAC Eyeshadow in Espresso // Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Memorable // Maybelline The Falsies Waterproof Mascara // Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Colour in Honey // MAC Lipstick in Rebel // MAC Suntints Lip Balm in Full of Grace (discontinued) // Revlon Lash Potion Mascara // Buxom Liquid Eyeliner in P.S // Revlon ColourStay Liquid Eyeliner // Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil in Black Lace

So that is more or less all the make-up I'm bringing to Cuba.  I hope you all have a great week (or 2 weeks depending if I can make a post) and thank you so much for reading.  Feel free to leave a comment on your travel essentials as I am always open to suggestions.  So this is actually a week late, my resort didn't have internet so I could not upload last week.  Thanks for putting up with me though.  Love you all xx

How I Edit My Instagram Pictures

Hey everyone,

So today's post is a bit different.  I got an email from one of my lovely followers asking how I do collages and what apps I use for my Instagram pictures that I've featured on my blog and on my Tumblr.  I have to say that on my actual personal Instagram, I edit pictures much better than the pictures I feature of here or on my Tumblr just because that's more for style rather than purpose.

The ones I use the most are VSCOcam which is a free app.  I really like their filters and usually use F2 on my pictures, especially recently.  

My second most used app is Afterlight.  I believe this app is .99 cents but I use it to edit the brightness, exposure, contrast etc. for my pictures and I also use it to get the white (or any colour) backgrounds.  I used to use the filters on this app a lot but not so much anymore however, it is one of my favourite apps.  

PicStitch is one of my favourite and most useful apps.  I use it to create "Kylie Jenner" style Instagram pictures if I want to have more than one picture in a photo.  It all depends on what format you use and how you adjust it.  

I use TwinCollage mostly on my personal instagram when I want to pictures beside each other or on top of one another.  

Lastly, I use Reflexion obviously for pictures that I want reflected.  The other apps I don't use anymore but they're still on my phone.  

So those are the apps I use to edit my Instagram pictures.  I hope you all enjoyed this post and found it helpful.  Thank you so much for reading and next week I'm in Cuba so I am not sure if I will have time to make a post.  I'll write one and see if I get the chance to publish it while I'm there.  I love you all, have a good week loves x
