4 Indie Rock Bands you should be listening to

I know I haven't posted for two weeks so I thought I should start March well and get back into posting frequently. So for today it's about 4 bands if not already, you should be listening to.

Peace: 

I went and saw them live last weekend at the NME Awards tour in London. They're a indie rock band and they also have a new album called 'In Love' Coming out on the 25th of this month... Definitely worth pre-ordering if you ask me... 

Best Song: Bloodshake (On EP Delicious)

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros:

A band that's in my must see list, having a southern Californian vibe to them making cracking tunes that are a must listen. Having 2 albums with 'Here' being released last May... 

Best Song: Man On Fire (On 'Here' Album)

 

Brother and bones: 

Only Recently discovering them, they're a really chilled band that you can listen to in any mood. Only having EP's are a real shame but hopefully an album will be out soon (Fingers crossed) 

Best Song:  For All We Know (On For All We Know EP) 

To Kill A King: 

Their new album 'Cannibals With Cutlery' was released on the 24th of Feb this year. It's totally worth buying and I'd recommend it to anyone.. 

My Crooked Saint - EP Free to download here...

Best song: Cold Skin (On Cannibals With Cutlery)

Top 3 girl crushes

I thought it was about time to show off the top 3 people that I aspire to, as who we look up to plays a huge role on the self that we are. So without another second wasted here are my top 3 girl crushes (in no particular order)

Alexa Chung:

Who doesn't have a girl crush on Alexa Chung? Seriously... Always looking stunning and never having a bad wardrobe day, I think that this girl crush is most definitely justified! Also having dated the legendary Alex Turner the envy of her just increases and increases!

Gillian Zinser:

This came about via 90210 where I loved her playing the role of Ivy, then after a little Tumblr searching of her I discovered that she had her own Tumblr, that I absolutely now adore! Always having really good tunes and funky pictures, it is the type of classy Tumblr I ought to aspire too. Click here for Gillians Tumblr. 

Fearne Cotton:

Fearne, Fearne, Fearne, what can I say? Well she's utterly cool and makes Radio1 even more worth listening to. Also dead stylish, even now she's expecting a baby! Having a great sense in music, I just can't get enough!

Although only a short inside post to my top 3 girl crushes I hope you enjoyed!

Obtaining jewellery of a classy standard

I don't think I am alone when it comes to absolutely loving jewellery! So I decided that after sorting out my bedroom that I'd do a post on my favourite 3 'obtained' jewellery pieces! 

Making it to it's much much much deserved first place spot is a piece that I've had so centuries!

The beautiful pearl necklace. This I obtained as a young child off of my Nana when we used to play jewellery shops. So here is the elegant gem:

Numero dos! This is my tribal favourite, obtained as a birthday gift donkeys years ago, from my long time best friend in a hamper filled with other treasures. Thank you muchly for this one: 

Thirdly, my Rhino amulet. This hasn't got a cool story but I'll try to make it sound interesting... As I was running extremely early for a rendezvous with my dentist, I decided to take a prolonged search through a charity store. Upon my search I came across many a dazzling piece, however I only had £2 on me as the train ticket was overly priced. Almost disappointed with myself for not finding anything I walked head down towards the door (the shame of not buying anything I ogled ) Almost foot out of the store I stopped and saw this wooden Amulet and scooped it up. To my relief was only £1.50! BARGAIN... So this is how my Rhino Amulet found its way home to it's rightful owner (me) and here's the evidence: 

Hopefully you liked my pieces as much as i do!

P.s: What is your favourite obtained piece? (Jewellery or not..)

Lovely ladies

Leavers day is nearing so I thought I'd try and become a little bit of a fairy godmother (minus the grey hair and old age that they all seem to come with) and hopefully help people on there way as to finding a beautiful gown that they can walk down the red carpet with on the last day. Therefore bringing me to an excuse to search endlessly for dresses that I can only dream of all owning!

Beanies on a new level?

Exams for the moment are now finally over so I can go back to my much beloved routine of posting!
So as a member of the Next Blogger Network, I thought it'd be nice to post about one of their suggested topics on this cute noticeboard that they have. I was umming and awwing slightly over which one to chose, mainly because I'd happily write about any of them! Then I saw the beanie related topic and thought that is the one for me! (Mainly because I have a friend that constantly wears them, so I thought maybe they should give one of these a try out.)
From there I was a little baffled as where to continue on the whole beanie business, but then I saw this:

If you're thinking is that a beanie that's also headphones, you are spot on! Stylish, suave and savvy I think that it's a steal for only £10!
Where you can purchase this beauty!

I would definitely recommend buying one of these because not only is it a 2 in one job, I am loving the cable knit design on the whole thing, and it's wearable being a lady or a gent!

P.s: Would you wear this even if it gave you hat hair?!

Winter favourites

Music is a key element to my life as it is too many people. I would say that my style varies tremendously. One second I can be happily listening to some sweet Ben Howard, then the next Dizzee Rascal. So without a further second wasted I am going to post my top winter favourites that I think everyone should love. (Little note; This is in no specific order, as my opinions change.)

Winter Winds - Mumford & Sons 

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons 

Suck It And See - Arctic Monkeys 

I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift (What is life without a bit of TayTayz?)

Down Down Down - Charlie Simpson (Oh yes, that minx from busted...)

Smother - Daughter 

Default - Django Django 

If You Got The Money - Jamie T (His voice, oh, my, gosh)

Sweet Nothing - Florence Welch, Calvin Harris 

Teenage Daughter _ Dog Is Dead 

I hope you love these as much as I do!

Helping hand on the revision front!

As my friends and I have our science GCSE's coming up really shortly (guys if you're reading this don't panic we will pull through!) I thought it'd be a nice idea to post about how to revise...Marmie style! 

First of all find a place that isn't noisy, crammed and generally aggravating to sit in. Then scatter (gently...) the resources that you're going to use all around. Having things fixed makes you feel like a robot, and I don't think that that is a generally good idea or is it? 

Then I'd say you've got to put yourself in that revision mood... I'm not entirely sure as to how other people do it, however I use this really helpful website. 

http://www.calm.com/ 

Basically what it does it sets a little scenery in the background, you chose how long you want it to last and if you want guidance (USE GUIDANCE OKAY!) Then off you go with some calming sounds and a reassuring man that really helps you get to that nice steady state. Once the session is up you should be feeling pretty relaxed. Which is then a good time to shatter that calm, do nothing mood with stealthy revision. Which comes to my next point, you really don't want to be cramming everything in at once! So do it slowly piece by piece until you understand. My mum once told me that it's better to ace something than to faff about on topics and not know enough to get you the marks. When I realised that she was utterly correct, I took heed in her advice... So please do so also... 

Next is snack, okay what is better than eating your favourite cake or biscuits whilst reading about isotopes or Gamma radiation? Nothing. Absolutely naff all. So Indulge and eat those calories that your brain will mentally burn off. (If you do biology you will realise that hardly any calories are actually burned using your brain, so don't say that I warned you.)  

Which leads me to my last point which is be creative with revision and don't make it a drain, Spice it up by reading out loud with a funny accent. I do this, regularly in a god awful Australian accent. However I know that Sheila (my Australian self) understood what she has just read! 

I hope you found this useful.

Obviously,

Marmie Bell xx
