you always will be my summer love

First I guess I should start by saying that if you dislike One Direction then feel free to stop reading

I have been on a bit of a hiatus for the past couple of days, but for good reason.  Yesterday I went to see One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer.  I've been running around doing last minute shopping and planning etc. but I am back.  I thought it might be fun though to make a post about the concert.

So the opening act was 5 Seconds of Summer (aka 5SOS).  I had heard about them prior to the concert and knew most of the songs they played so it was almost like 2 concerts in one night.  They are a band of 4 teenage boys from Australia who started out making covers on YouTube.  Now they're touring with One Direction- not too shabby.  They really are incredible and their songs are great, I would highly recommend you give them a listen.

One Direction was insane as well.  Our seats were so so close.  We were on the side in the twelfth row.  The way the stage was set up, on each side their were little step like areas where the boys would come out and stand.  It was so cool.

5SOS- From left to right: Luke, Calum, Michael, Ashton.

The setlist was great, for both groups.  The energy was electric you could just feel the excitement in the arena.  It's funny too because a lot of times you hear about post-concert depression, which I have felt before, but with this concert I really haven't.  I mean, I'm upset that it's ended like I had waited for a over a year for this concert and now it's over.  But it was just so surreal and so incredible I'm just so happy I even had the chance to go.  I will say though I would not recommend listening to their music like too soon because then the sadness will hit you a bit.  I listened to Summer Love like an hour ago and I still haven't fully recovered.  As you can probably tell I really do love One Direction.  And clearly, I have no shame about it haha.

Thought I'd stick some pictures in here of the concert.  Little did I know you could actually take a DSLR, at least the girl a couple seats down from me did.  So unfortunately my pictures aren't the greatest but like...imagine those pictures being completely clear- that's what is was like for me seeing them.  It was insane.

I'll be back in a day or two with some more beauty and fashion posts but until then,

Be Positive. Be Happy. & Smile.
