Velvet

So you'll all probably know that velvet is the texture of this winter. I can get on this along with Topshop and ASOS. Cigarette pants, a basic top, perhaps even a pair of Dr Martens! Yep, thats what I did, got these absolute beauties as an early birthday present from my mama. Ohhh they are so pretty, hurting my poor little feet like hell at the moment but my housemates reasurre me it will be worth it. "After wearing every day for about three months one day they just wont hurt again. And they will be the comfiest shoes you own." Blisters aside, this will be a great day.
Slightly scared that this evil rainy weather may hurt my new best friends, however ive invested in some water and stain protecter spray and using it with vigilance..every time I leave the house really.
Who Whoa wait till those tight little badboys have loosened up and my feet dont feel like they are about to drop off and me and my velvet booties are guna be living it up badass winter style!

Honey im home

Hey Guuysss,

I know im utterly shit, im sorry. I havent blogged in ages...

Its purely because im rather lazy. But my second year of uni has just come to an end and I now have no excuse not to blog.
I dont really have much to catch you up on, however I recently did an internship at MatchesFashion.com. That was fun! It was in the photo studio which was perfect for me, of course i didn't actually get to go near a camera, however learning about everything that goes behind a shopping website was pretty cool. Im slightly ashamed of myself as I only did two weeks there, but I do intend of going back for a longer period of time, if not somewhere else! Im not too sure where yet, personally im not too sure about anything at the moment. Third year is fast approaching and deciding what to do with the rest of my life is pretty petrifying! But what can ya do ey! Not a lot so lets just see where I end up. Id quite like to do an internship somewhere like LOOK magazine or COMPANY maybe. Or ASOS would be pretty sweet, actually if anyone knows of internships going at WWF that would be an absolute dream.
Anyhoo less of my quarter life meltdown heres some sneaky pictures I took whilst at MatchesFashion.com. Enjoy!

Summer Days

Hey Guys!!

Sorry I haven't blogged in QUITE a while! But I've been very lazy this summer! But I am now back at university and needs must!
So my summer was actually AWESOME...how was yours? Equally amazing too I hope. I went over to Thailand for seven weeks with my bezzer Sophia. I saw went over to thailand as if it's no big deal, don't get me wrong, it is a massive deal...im not some kind of fancy jet setter with bags of money! Im currently working out a way of getting some kind of funding for a trip this up coming summer but somehow I don't think the puppydog eyes will help me on this one with mother.
But anyway...pictures!!

This is us on our last night with the two amazing Irish ladies that we travelled with for about three weeks! Maobh and Shelle. Here were in Bangkok having a proper goodbye! Miss these girls a lot, however they are currently out in Australia :(.

FUCKET HAVE A BUCKET! Ha.

This is on Ko Phi Phi, one of the most amazing places and my favourite island!

This is heading out to Maya Bay where 'The Beach' was filmed!

This was our hostel in Pai, Northern Thailand

Elephant hug!! Best thing in the world! 

Ko Phi Phi!

Looking at all of these photographs again is making me rather sad! I miss it all so much! I got two new tattoos whilst I was out there also, a frangipani behind my ear (for Australia) and a line of elephants on my thigh (for Thailand) both bamboo! I love them lots!...

Well babesss, its late and I should be going to bed. Speak soon.

As part of my uni course, one of our units was to produce a photo shoot and edit and arrange it in the style of our chosen publication. My partner and I chose to shoot an iD style grunge look and the outcome i found was rather more than satisfctory. I shot the whole thing and loved it, i actually forgot how much i missed and adored being behind the camera and have since done a few more shoots here and there. Here are the final photographs with our lovely model Vanessa...

Let me know what you think!

Loving everything jersey and apparently peace.

So here is my summer wardrobe sorted, and its pretty much all the same thing! All I feel I need on these summer holiday are shorts (eventhough my legs are hardly in shape for it) and oversized jersey tops with a peace sign. Im also currently obsessed with everything hippy/boho/peace sign related, note the elephant too. Im off to Thailand for two months and have been touched by all things summer and islandy far far away. My colour palate can be argued that its rather drab as the colours that feature are mostly greys or whites but im going to accessorise this up with some super tanned toned legs (I hope). Cant beat a nice bit of leg, a baggy t-shirt top with some converse or peep-toe pumps. Wish me luck on my diet!

Keep your curiosity sacred.

As a trainee journalist I need something to aim towards, or a print that I love to read. And to be honest ive never had this, untill I found 'Oh Comely'. Ive never heard about this magazine untill I found it in a little newsagents in SOHO, but im so happy I now have! It such a beautifully set up magazine that is so easy to read. The editorials are about things like biscuits, illustrators, musicians and tattoos, things that make you smile as you are reading them and im sure they love writing about. My favourite would have to be an illustrated story 'Four-legged meditation' 'Scenes from walks with my dog' by Rob Hodgson. He's literally just telling you about his dog Jack and when he walks him. For a start im a massive dog lover and have two of my own, who I miss very much whilst away at uni. And yet the sheer passion in the way that he writes it and the small snippets that move you make this piece of writing something that makes my skin tingle. "For all Jack the dogs humbleness and his quiet appreciation he can sometimes break out into a run, when he perhaps he is overcome by clarity, happy to be alive he is galloping through the pines." You should definitely have a look if you get a chance. This is the front cover...

Heres Rob and Jack...

Broken

So I have no money. However I still found myself wandering around Guildford shopping centre yesterday arvo. This is a real problem for me, and yet, I didn't actually buy anything! Actually what I did do was grab everything around me that I would have bought if money permitted and tried it on, then took photos! Not quite the same effect in the long run but momentarily made me feel a bit better. Here are a few favourites...

This was perhaps a size too big, although the baggy look is what is intended with this dress. Im thinking port royal Vans in the summer. Topshop £29.

This one was absolutely beautiful, however its sleevless which is a bit of a no no for me as I need lipo on my arms, DRASTICALLY! Topshop £50.

Loved this, im going to Thailand for a month and a bit in July and this would be perfect for trekking around the islands. However the tan lines may be a bit odd. Topshop £29.

At the moment its a tad easier for me not to be buying the world as we are currently in that transition period before summer when its still really cold but the sun is out every day. Im also trying to loose a shed load of weight before summer so I can be a size 10 goddess. Wish me luck!
