//B E N//H O W A R D//G I G//

So, if you don't know who Ben Howard is, get your head out of the sand. His debut album, Every Kingdom, was a phenomenal success and upon its release in 2013 he won 2 BRIT awards-talk about hitting the high notes (ahem). And his latest album, "I Forget Where We Were" is set to be just as well received.

It was to be expected that when I was invited to see him live a couple of weeks ago at Alexandra Palace, it would be impressive, and boy was I impressed! If you're a fan of cheesy, showy, pink pop bubblegum tunes-this one isn't for you so much.

But for spiritual vibes, top lyrical and musical talent (describing some of the most basic human thoughts in the most beautiful way) and the excuse to dress like a boho princess then head to see Ben Howard on his "I Forget Where We Were" tour, which is currently underway.

The sheer electricity I felt walking through the doors at Ally Pally and hearing that voice reverberate around the walls will be a memory I will hold on to forever. There are certain moments in life that stay with you  based on the connection they make with you-like hearing 7000 people sing the words "Hello, Love" during the titular song performance.

Talking of boho-y princess-yness, here's what I wore-

Shoes-New Look
Jumpsuit- Republic
Demin shirt- Miss selfridge
Bag- Fred Perry
Earring and Cuff- Claires Accessories











Who have you seen live that left the best impression on you?

Love,
Lizzie
