Crossfire

 

 

Everything I’m wearing is Vintage from Etsy

Last week, after a quick stop at Hole in the Wall, we’ve been to Crossfire @229 and I actually remembered to take pictures of what I was wearing. It was a fun night and we ended up staying until 5 am, which I believe is the latest I’ve ever stayed in this venue. Lots of familiar faces dancing around. Usually we spend most of the night in the Boogaloo room (aka RnB room), but I must say this time it was below my expectations… So we ended up staying and dancing in the Soul room for most of the night. Good chance to copy some moves from the amazing Northern Soul dancers there. We are not into what we call “white” 60’s music (garage, psych, etc) so we didn’t even venture into the Beat room, not even to take a peak. It was a decent night, full of Northern Soul, but I hope they change the RnB DJ’s for next time cause that’s the type of music we enjoy the most!

Anyways, if you’re into 60’s you must go to Crossfire. Enough said.

Modstock 2014

Long time no write! A very belated update, but did anyone go to Modstock this year? I did and it was great! Although some very dear friends could not make it, we managed to see other friends that even came from abroad. I literally danced all night and taking pictures totally slipped my mind, I only got 1 with a friend who came all the way from Japan. A very well spent night it was, and I can’t wait for the next one.

Blues Dance

Yesterday we’ve been to Liam’s night in Bethnal Green. We go there quite often, but last night was special for me because Alan was DJing. I enjoy his music so much, I could have danced all night. I try to see him play as often as possible. I would recommend Liam’s night to anyone who enjoys good 50’s and early 60’s music, since he is one of the best collectors around nowadays. I will not put labels on the genres played, because they play so many different things, however I will say that everything played are original vinyl from the era and these guys spend little fortunes to be get their hands on obscure tunes that you never even heard off!

turtleneck & bag – Zara
belt & tights – Topshop
skirt - vintage
shoes – vintage Ferragamo

And that’s what I wore! Nothing special, simple and easy with a 60’s touch. I wanted to make my hair bigger at the back, but my bf does not like that, so I went for a very subtle bouffant.

Canal 125

Freddie Knit Top - Collectif

Trousers - Pendleton deadstock from SpanoVintage

Loafers - japanese from Emoda

Last Saturday it was our friend's birthday at Canal 125. It was a great night, despite the change of venues at the last minute, full of lovely and cool 60s loving people. The music was fantastic with the regular RnB 123 DJ's, of course, and although dance floor space was limited (so many people showed up), everyone couldn't help but dance! Lovely atmosphere as always in the mod's London scene, every one's always friendly and you can't help but feeling like you can depend on the person you've just met 2 minutes ago, fantastic!

I went quite casual really, though most people dressed up for the occasion, and the picture above is from right before we went out. I got some pictures of the night but they are so dark, I don't think it is worth sharing here...

Hole in the Wall

 

Dress - 70's vintage from SpanoVintage

Last week we've been to the night Hole in the Wall, organized by our friend Glen, in Mornington Crescent. It was lovely to see friends I haven't met for ages, seriously ages, and dance to good music. And I remembered to ask my boyfriend to take pictures! I seem to always forget recently, like I don't have a decent picture of New Year's eve... The dress I'm wearing in the pictures I got dirty cheap on sale from etsy and it's so cute, I love it!

I'll try to take more pictures of my outings from now on~

Brighton

Hello! This week we have been enjoying a lovely sunny weather here in London, so me and my bf took of to Brighton to get some sunshine. It was my first time in Brighton actually, quite a small place with many vintage shops and cute stuff. The popular stone beach is quite confortable, belive it or not, and we took a 2 hour nap there! I woke up to find part of my thighs, the area between the high socks and the shorts, tanned! So now I have a lovely darker stripe across my thigh, omg, haha, good times :)
