Go Find It

As you might know me and Camille as well as another friend of ours are thinking of exploring a bit more of the UK . Edinburgh, where we initially planned to go to is a bit too far this time, so it’ll have to be another place. The problem is that we can’t really decide where to go. I think my vote goes for Bristol.

It’s definitely a good place for street art but I’ve also heard it’s a city well worth visiting for other reasons.  I found a lot of cool stuff on the map, but in particular I’d like to go to The Cooler, a night club which seems to be the perfect place for the three of us going on the trip. It been a while since I’ve danced my socks off and this really seems like the place to do it. Also, I can’t help to think that Friend & Co Gallery seems like a very pleasant gallery.

So, is Bristol the right place to go, or should we go somewhere else?

I really enjoy going to gigs and listening to unsigned bands; there are so much talented people out there. That’s one reason I really like Joiners Arms and Debaser that I wrote about earlier, and that’s also why I’ve been looking for good venues in London. I found a few, for example Last Days of Decadence which seems nice as well as 12 Bar Cafe.

I would love to know what your favourite gig venues are! Leave a comment and I’ll try them out sometime

Sherin is one of the lovely fashion bloggers who attended the Ka JOY store event and searched for the Ka miniatures. As we like her blog and her style we were curious to know about her favourite places, so we caught up with Sherin to ask her about that:

Who are you in a few words?

My name is Sherin and I live in London. I’ve just graduated from university so I’m figuring out what to do with my life right now. But I love to go out, meet new people and just have fun.

You run your blog HiFashion with Leia: could you tell us a bit more about the blog and this unique partnership?

HiFashion is a lifestyle blog. We mainly focus on fashion, but also like to add health and everyday life tips. We started it about 9 months ago, and it’s just so much fun to write and get to know other bloggers.
I and Leia were friends at university and both shared a love for fashion. Between us we realised that there were quite a few fashion related blogs out there, so we decided that it would be fun to start our own.

We have seen a bit of your choice of clothes and accessories on the pictures and the video of the event but how would you define your personal style?

At the event, I’d just come from work, so my outfit wasn’t the most creative. But I think my style is quite hard to define. I suppose it’s casual, but also quite fun. I like to add colour to my outfits as well as mix and match different styles. I like to mix an edgy look with more feminine things, so I’ll pair Converses with a dress, or add lots of accessories when wearing a cool t-shirt and jeans.

What is your favourite secret place to shop in London?

I live in North London, and it’s filled with great little places to shop. Crouch End, Muswell Hill and Hampstead have great little independent boutiques, with stuff you won’t find anywhere else, along with great little restaurants. But out of the 3, Crouch End has to be my favourite place.

What are your favourite songs to listen to when you go on a shopping trip?

This is a really tough one. I have such a wide range of stuff on my MP3 player, and just put it all on random. I think Lady Gaga’s ‘Just Dance’ always puts me in a perfect mood to shop. I also have a lot of Rock on my MP3 player, such as Guns N’ Roses and Florence and the Machine, which gives me a lot of energy to be on my feet all day. But I definitely have more American rock than anything else on my MP3 player.

And after a long afternoon of shopping where do you like to relax?

There are such amazing parks to relax in, Hyde Park is great because you have that boating lake and it’s just so relaxing to sit in the boats (unless you’re the one actually peddling). But for me, nothing compares to just sitting at home and relaxing with a good book.

Make sure to check out HiFashion and if you have any questions for Sherin feel free to post them in the comments.
