My Busy Weekend.

London- 

As I haven't previously mentioned you probably don't know that I am a complete One Direction fan. I went to see them in Dublin on the 6th of March and I was literally blown away by them. The good looks would have been enough to get me through the night but they are truly talented performers and absolutely hilarious. Straight after the concert I knew I'd have to go again. I was then on Twitter a few days later and to my excitement Harry had tweeted that they were releasing a new date for London.



I knew it was a sign that I had to go so and after a lot of persuasion I got around my parents to let me go. I was never so excited about anything just because I had already experienced how amazing the concert really was and of course I got to see Harry Styles in the flesh ;) So last Friday I headed to the airport to fly to Stansted. Unfortunately our flight was delayed but I was distracted by the free Wi-Fi..yay. We finally arrived and headed to the hotel near the airport and indulged in some Mac Donald's. The next morning after very little sleep we got the bus to Westfield. Like most people are was in Heaven surrounded by all the shops. Since it was early we decided to get Pinkberry. It was my first time getting it and I absolutely delicious. Nothing more refreshing in the morning. The staff were also really friendly and helpful too. As were many of the staff in the other shops which is nice to see :).



After a bit of shopping we headed to Victoria's Secret on the Tube to buy some Pink clothes. They are the only brand that I think you can wear a tracksuit but still look like you've put some effort into yourself. I couldn't resist and and had to take a picture of the dogs.



After that we went to the O2 to go to the One Direction World Shop. It was literally unreal they had everything a fan could ever want haha but of course I had to resist some things because I would have needed thousands. But I was satisfied with 2 key rings, a t-shirt, a jumper and a wristband ;). It wasn't long before we were starving so we went to Nando's.. Nom nom nom.


At last the time came to start getting ready for the concert. We checked into the Hilton and we were given the executive suite at no extra charge for no reason haha we still can't understand why. After getting all dolled up we headed back to the Tube to get to the O2. By the way the Tube is like the most amazing thing ever. The transport in Ireland is so awful and I didn't realise it until I went to London.



                         

When we arrived Camryn was performing followed by 5 Seconds of Summer who are really good. I can see them becoming very well known soon and the Australian accents add to their talent. Then the show really got started when One Direction came out :). Literally I can barely remember the night because I was in such a daze. They were unbelievable and I would genuinely go a third time. In relation to the seats I was in Block 111, Row B, Seat 336. The seats were actually quite good but as you probably know they were filming the 'This is us' movie so there was a massive camera in front of the stage. Other than that camera you would have perfect view. When they went to the second stage they were literally in touching distance. It was such an amazing night. I wasn't too concerned with getting as many pictures this time because it gets very distracting so I just took videos and didn't take much notice of what I was doing. After the concert we went back to the hotel and the next morning we flew to Dublin because I had tickets to see Ellie Goulding in the Olympia Theatre.

Dublin- 

We didn't really get to enjoy Dublin as much as we would have liked to because we were just exhausted after London. We checked into another hotel and literally went to the concert with the same makeup we had on from 7 o' clock that morning.



Ellie ended up being a lot better than I had anticipated. She sounds even better in real life and is actually really nice and interacts with the crowd. It was a very chill concert but even though it was I much prefer crazy, loud concerts it was still really good :) We went back to the hotel afterwards and I spent the majority of the 3 hour bus journey home attempting to sleep. I really enjoyed my weekend and I hope to go to London again :)
