Friday I’m in Love (on a tuesday).

It is very rare that I actually post regularly however I kept coming across odd pictures in my iphoto so they have ended up in an album altogether and then gone on to this. As usual I am leaving things to the last minute and have a college assignment to finish for thursday while having to work all day tomorrow, it isn’t going to be fun. My mulberry bag is also fixed along with my ancient moccasins and my car is also taxed. Anyway enough rambling for now and here are some of the odd images from the past year or so...

Self portrait taken at my old house, I hardly wear my nose ring anymore.

A macro snapshot while away with my friend Ania - pearls and a pocket watch.

On a school trip to some galleries in London, I don’t look too enthusiastic.

Experimenting with my 75-300mm lens, I was stood a rather long distance away.

Enjoying the company of Neeps or Haggis (I can never remember Gabi’s cats names) before a night out in Bristol.

Using my star filter at the Nans over Easter, this is my step mum Liz.

Friday I’m in Love (on a saturday).

I’m really not in a talkative mood today, this week has been so full on and I feel so emotionally drained so here are just a few outfits from the week. 

New cardigan from mama; TKMax Scarf; Charity Shop Basic Vest Top; H&M

Dress; Primark Cardigan (below); Charity Shop

Blouse; Primark Cardigan & Skirt; H&M

These are also a few images over the past week. 

The first photography taken on my borrowed 20D until my camera is repaired.

A congratulations card for my A level results (the only one I was actually happy about was my A* in photography).

The latest addition to my trollbeads bracelet called mocha. (Note trollbeads was the very original made in the seventies unlike pandora, lovelinks etc.)

The September Issue

After watching The September Issue I instantly fell in love with Grace Coddington, compared to the usual stereotype of the Vogue stylist she was portrayed as completely comfortable with her self and individuality aswell as sharing her opinions openly which I always respect people for. Her red hair reminded me of Vivienne Westwood aswell as the slightly eccentric personality.

I feel as if I’m stuck in a bit of a style rut at the moment, I haven’t got any money so buying wardrobe additions isn’t an option and having to work all the time means I’m limited to experimentation (the dress code is smart with a touch of casual). I also received my A level results this week, a few were a bit shocking but the A* in photography made up for that! In september my art & design foundation will start which I’m getting excited about, it just seems like an age away. I feel like this post is going to turn into a ramble however sometimes it’s nice to read a jumble of thoughts. Bestival is also coming up so better start thinking about packing for that, I cannot wait to see The Cure play. They have been my favourite band since I was about seven and I used to listen to my dads records in our sitting room. As today was my only day off this week we visited the quirky city of Bath near our hometown Bristol. As well as shopping and looking for ideas for our new house (which is so cute and called Ivy Cottage) we visited the fashion museum for my first college project - I’ll post the photographs separately but overall it was a lovely day out involving lots of tea and smoothies. 

Tweed Blazer & Vest Top; H&M Top; New Look 

These are a few of my work outfits from the past week. I have probably posted the same items numerous times however I hate the idea of wearing an outfit once. I love buying something and wearing it to death because it goes with everything in your wardrobe and thats why you buy clothes, to wear them. I think my new tweed blazer will be a perfect example of this. 

Cardigan & Dress; H&M

Jumper; Hand me down from a friends mum, the embroidery and beading are beautiful.

When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly

Tweed & Elbow Patches.

Blazer & Cardigan; H&M Blouse; charity shop

Egypt.

So I have been home for almost a week now and have finally got back into the routine of work and such. It was nice to have a relaxing break away, especially after the intense week of partying in Malia and to spend time with my family which doesn’t happen very often as we’re all so busy. It is nice to be home, especially as my SLR broke halfway through the two weeks!? 

These may not be the most challenging of images but there is something I love about this style of natural lighting and the silhouettes. 

If you haven’t gathered I tend to wear a lot of florals, maybe so much it could be considered an obsession (as I’m writing this I happen to be wearing a floral blouse). I feel like Terry Richardson in the below image.

Holiday bracelets and patterns; floral blouse and seagull print shorts with braces.

I’m a geek at heart so couldn’t go away without visiting some cultural excursions, so my father and me abandoned the family on one of the days to go to Luxor. We visited many temples, statues, museums (Papyrus) and other shops and workshop type places however the highlight was definitely the Valley of the Kings. There was something so intense about the location and the tombs. It isn't something easily describable. We also saw Tutankhamun’s body and I’m still convinced we’re cursed.
