Hello!
So I recently downloaded Spotify and I've been sifting my way through loads of new bands. So I thought I'd tell you about my recent favourites and you might just find your favourite new band!:)
1. Peace
I am utterly obsessed with this band. I first found them on Radio 1 and downloaded their 'Delicious EP'. They have such a cool indie-surfy-ish vibe and ugh they just make me melt into the floor when I listen to them. (also, I am super excited because I preordered their deluxe album and it's signed!!! It's coming in March, and I don't think I can even wait that long!)
2. FIDLAR
Fidlar are an American band. They have a grunge-surfy kind of sound. Their album is super amazing and makes me feel very summery even though it's freezing (typical England.)
3.Swim Deep
I.love.them. I'm also quite annoyed because they were playing gigs in London recently and I was too late to buy tickets...but they've been getting quite big now and their songs are so relaxing! British music is getting pretty amazing recently and I'm rather proud!:)
So I hope that that has given you some musical inspiration!
Also, KickThePJ has recently uploaded a new 'Draw My Life' video, and has made a competition where you can win his sketchbook if you reply to his video with your own draw my life video. I really want to enter but I'm super scared and I don't know...(my sister's trying to make me do it though, and I think that I'm eventually going to give it. I just need to suck up some courage aaaaah)

Vintage Shopping in Camden
Hello!!!
So on Friday, my mum, sister and I went to London to watch the X Factor tour (which was amazing by the way!)
And we wanted to go somewhere cool in the Saturday-and I said that I wanted to go to Camden.
I've always wanted to go, but we've never gotten round to it! So we got on the tube and went to Camden, and the first thing we saw was a massive market which we didn't spend much time in because the stuff wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to find some cool vintage shops where I could buy something amazing.
At first we went to a vintage shop called Rokit which was really cool but I couldn't find what I wanted to find. The clothes weren't as colourful as I wanted-I wanted something bright and with an interesting print.
So we left Rokit (my sister bought a jumper) and we headed up the road which seemed to go on forever!!!
But the lady in Rokit recommended that we go to another vintage shop further up called Episode. We went inside and it was literally the most gorgeous place ever! {and it was playing the arctic monkeys so that was a huge bonus:D}
It was so bright!!! My sister found a yellow jumper with a cornucopia on it and I nearly died;)
In Episode, they re-vamp old clothes and make them into really cool pieces. There were loads of extremely cool pleated mini skirts in weird prints and I fell in love with them. We were looking through and I decided to buy a bright green one adorned with prints of fish and starfish which was utterly amazing!!!
I also wanted a sweatshirt because I haven't actually got one! And I found the funniest one ever! It says 'DEER HUNTER' on it and has a really funny slogan on it. It was so strange but charming-and now it's my baby:)
Then we went to Camden Lock and the shops were super cool (especially one vintage shop in which I found the coolest pink dress printed with gold crosses!!!) but we had to leave early because we had to get back home.
Overall I had a brilliant time and I can't wait to go back in April to buy more strange things.
Love, Jaimee xx

Things to buy-January!!!
Hello again!
I just got my late present from my grandparents, £50 to spend on whatever I want...and I've got a few ideas.
I've had a recent Dan and Phil obsession, and I reeeaaally want a t-shirt because they're super amazing!
And I have a dilemma because I don't know whether I should buy the Dan one or the Dan and Phil one OMG THE HORROR OF CHOOSING!!!
AND I'M GETTING A PJ POSTER AAAAAAAAH!
And I've been super-obsessed with this band called Splashh-they're super duper amazing amazing amazing and I love their music-It's so surfy!!!
so yeah, I'm currently browsing the Topshop website trying to find something slightly affordable hahaha:D
but I figured that these were the MUST-HAVES!!!and I realised that I should have more t-shirts and merch of bands and people that I actually like rather than 1 billion of Harry Styles and I don't even like him anymore (which is strangely tragic).
And today I watched the new series on E4 My Big Fat Diary. It was so good and it was actually hilarious. I'm really looking forward to watching more of it:)
So yeah...speak to you soon
