On the 7th of June 2014, myself and 3 of my closest friends went up to London on a one direction adventure. We got the tickets over a year ago and have been counting down the days ever since. We had decided to make this night as special as possible. We ordered dresses, planned our make up and hair, booked a hotel in London and a train to and from Waterloo Station.
On the Saturday morning with our bags all packed we headed off to the train station (we didn't go to London by ourselves, we did have some adult supervision from one of our Mum's). The train journey was very exciting because we knew that the destination would be Waterloo, a place 5 minutes away from our hotel where we would be getting ready to go to the concert. All very exciting indeed.
One of my favourite things about traveling, whether it be to the south of France of just 2 hours away to London, is walking into your room and lying on the bed. It was amazing. Not that the bed was anything special, just the fact that I was in London with my best friends and we were about to start a night to remember.
Before starting the 2 hour 'getting ready' section, we walked around the block and saw Big Ben and the London eye, we crossed the bridge and stopped to take pictures. We also stumbled upon a street gambler with 3 tin cups, a foam ball and the attention of a small crowd. The 4 of us were getting quite annoyed with everyone as the placed their 'bets' and choose the wrong tin cup.

Getting back to the hotel and getting ready was extremely exciting, hectic and just amazing. We were all getting our make up bags our and frantically finding mirror space. As apart of this mini-series I will be showing you exactly what make up I wore as well as my hair and dress.
The tube was just as exciting as getting ready because we knew that we were minutes away from Wembley Stadium! The tube became packed and full of teenagers alike with excitement. I had never been to a concert like this before, I had never been to Wembley Stadium or even a stadium! This made everything more special than any other gig I've been to.

The sheer amount of people overwhelmed me. Around 80,000 people under one roof was enough to bring you to tears (that's what happened to Zoe). Then it started, the screens went to a massive red background with the '5SOS' written across it. I was almost going to puke with excitement [thankfully not]. The first song they played was 18, a new song on their new album. Then amnesia, Heartbreak Girl, She Looks So Perfect, Good Girls and Don't Stop, as well as a Katy Perry cover of Teenage Dream.
5 Seconds of Summer finished. The half and hour wait began. The half an hour wait finished. One Direction started. Screaming started and never finished.

I should probably do some explaining. As you now know, I went to One Direction on June 7th with my best friends and it was an amazing experience. I would suggest it to anyone. I thought that I could do a mini - series on my experience including, make up, hair, outfit and an overview of this whole thing. This is the overview. I am going to upload the hair and make up next Saturday then the Saturday after will be outfit and accessories.
Hugs and kisses
