    Hedonist Project: Rum Shack, Leeds | QueenBeady

    Hedonist Project Leeds Rum Shack 7

    I’m just going to put it out there, it’s a bold statement but imma right on say it. Leeds is the food & drink capital. Yep, there I said it. Now, hear me out on this one. The wave of the ”pop up” bar & restaurant is fast becoming the ”in thing” but in Leeds I feel like we are getting some amazing new joints that have actually come on to be full-time, permanent spots because they went down so well during their short but sweet stints. The latest bar to hit New Briggate is Rum Shack. A quirky little hole. It’s unfinished and bare, but what it lacks in ”unpolished finishedness” is a bucket load of personality. Part of The Hedonist Project, you know you’re not going to be disappointed.

    I’m a petite girl in height, but what I lack in centimetres there I certainly make up for them round the hips. I find it tremendously difficult to dress for my shape, big bust, tiny waist and wide hips, plus my bodies decision to be vertically challenged – where is my middle ground? Slowly, but surely I’m starting to realise what looks good on my body. I need to try and steer clear of overly baggy outfits that don’t drown me. I know stripes work well with my physique too but there’s only so much Breton that can be in one girls life! With it now being summer it’s also time to inject some colour in to my life too…

    Okay, so let me start off by saying that I obviously had far too much fun to properly ”pose” for these photos. Ya’ see, I don’t think it has to be so serious all the time. It’s time to smile and rejoice at the good things in life. Laugh so hard that it hurts. Run away with the moments that make you care-free. That’s kinda what this dress wants you to do. It’s playful and so easy to enjoy. Simple but with delicate crochet giving it a slightly different texture. Let’s get this straight, this dress might not be the chicest outfit in my wardrobe, but hey, who says I’m trying to be classy. It might not hug my ever growing curves (goddam you hips and thighs!) but instead this is a dress that can be enjoyed whilst dancing at a festival, on the beach with sand in your toes, to be rolled around in the grass in. Endless possibilities that make the most charming memories. That’s the type of dress that I like & want to wear.

    Staying Safe during Festival Season | QueenBeady

    Making daisy chains, sitting in circles singing music round a camp fire and having a wonderful time is exactly how I used to envisage Festivals before I started going to them. I’ve been going to Festivals since 2008, so some could say I’m an ”old timer” when it comes to being prepared for festival season. It’s a great time, filled with making lots of memories and enjoying some of the best music the world has to offer. By no means am I trying to detract from the wonderful atmosphere that Festivals have to offer you really do have to keep your wits about you in so many ways. I keep getting told that I’m too old to go to Leeds Festival (yikes, I’m only 25. I’m not sure if they are basically saying my life is over or not?) but I am determined I’m gonna keep going for years to come.

    On Saturday we decided to head in to Leeds for brunch. It’s not something we regularly do but spontaneity ruled that morning and we also needed to return my Zara order too. I wanted to wear my new leather jacket & I have to say I am head over heels in love with it. It’s a hand me down and boy, do I want to wear it all day, everyday. It’s beautiful and so unbelievably soft too. Of course, I had to pair it with my Breton striped top. Did someone say, Parisian Chic?
