I Miss You,

Hopefully traveling will bring me closer to you.

Hallows Eve

2011-11-03T05:35:00.000-07:00

I had a great Halloween party,
My mum would have been proud, she loved her fancy dress.
As for my house, stains on the sofa and carpets from face paints...
cleaners can't guarantee removal of the stains.
Damn.

Bye bye deposit.

My Rooms a Mess

2011-10-21T03:19:00.000-07:00

I have had such a mental week, mental meaning stressful. Work has become absolutely crazy with so many members of new staff, that I have had to work really hard to keep things in order.

But it's my day off, and my rooms a mess.

I have decided to spend the day with my sister instead of doing anything about it.

Awsome.

I hope you have a wokid day. x

Style Spotted

2011-10-15T03:29:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time since I have posted anything about style, if anything at all. I have been extremely busy and have not had time to post anything up.

A month ago, I was style spotted on London Fashion Weeks night out, Sept 13 and have only had the chance to find it.

I was spotted outside Topshop waiting for a friend, by this lovely girl on her BB I found it a little peculiar she was taking photos on her BB, but it came out surprisingly ok, small but ok.

Blown away by the leaf art of Lorenzo Duran. Imagine how much time and patience it must take to create each one! Having never considered using a leaf as a canvas and have fallen in love with these miniature scenes. Each carving is unique and if you'd love one of your own, they're for sale on the artist's website.

HELP!

2011-08-04T14:07:00.000-07:00

Ok, so the beautiful black boots to the left are from Topshop premium, and I have fallen in LOVE with them, and really want them, but I went into Topshop Westfields today to try them on, they were there, HAPPY DAYS!! But when I tried them on, I hd to go up a size, and they were still pretty damn tight, and I am wondering whether they will be good for me all day at work... but they are fit! They are £110 but there is a possibility I could get 20% off... £88

The beautiful brown ones are from the one and only Ted Baker, and they are just stunning, much nicer than they look in the picture for some reason and they price at £165 not yet tried them on, but I don't want to fall for them too soon, and go crazy on my allowance, but I can get either 30% off making them £115.50 oooooor take the absolute piss and use a big chunk of my uniform allowance and get them for £41.25 AHHH

WHAT SHALL I DO?!? Any suggestions?....

I am really obsessed with this new model TV program about the daily lives of models, and Perou the photographer.

My favourite female model is Charlotte by far, and favourite male model BB. He is a beaut, I think they make a lovely couple.

I have posted a couple of photos by Tom Van Schelven, who did the Puma campaign with two models from the program, Jessye B and Jay, the best two for this campaign, they got that right.

Doing my evening browsing, I came across this beautiful S/S 10 skirt by Juliette Hogan on Pony Hunters blog, and fell in love immediately. Only to find out it was old season, and a NZ brand, I have been looking for something EXACTLY like this for ages, but all I can seem to find are full length maxi's Bummer.

A photoshoot from Long Ago

2011-03-14T11:39:00.001-07:00

It was a while ago I took these alongside Mark Taylor, but have only thought to put them up now, very strange that I had seemed to have forgotten about them, I think it was at a very hectic point in the year, so I wasn't able to edit them, so here they are.

It was a good experience working in a large group of a photographer, stylists, a make up artist and three lovely models, and the place was just beautiful, (castle in Rochester, Kent.)

Sorry it has taken me absolutely FOREVER to update my blog, I have been working full time this last month and have been finding it very difficult to find a nice balance, of working, eating, socialising, sleeping, and fitting in the blogging. I have come to the terms that I have to squeeze it in if I want to do it, so here I am.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

So I will leave you on a celebrity spotting note, I probably won't be able to update my blog for like another month, lets hope not, I still have sooo much from LFW, including another favourite catwalk by Body Armr.

Be back soon. Peace out.

"Do not under-estimate 18 year old Rhiannon Jones; she may be young and she may not have a swanky masters degree behind her but my god is she determined. After being asked to leave school at the tender age of 15 when her teachers objected to the way she dressed, Rhiannon packed up and moved to the big smoke where she subsequently launched her career as a fashion designer under the name, ‘Bolshie.’ Now two years on, Bolshie has officially invaded the fashion world with wild wacky prints and structurally shaped garments, all designed and made by Rhiannon herself, in her east end studio."

I have been meaning to post these photos up for a while, I bought this sparkling dress for my graduation, but never wore it, my sister said it was too Chritmassy, which is oh so true, but I haven't worn since I bought it. Um, OOPS.

I have had a spectacular few days at Freemason's Hall in Covent Garden, with the Vauxhall Fashion Scout blogging team. It was sad to say goodbye today, as I couldn't afford another daily trip to London, I am on minus funds, and I have a long time to go until I get in any sort of income.

I will be posting lots of my favorite adventures from this experience within the next couple of days, so watch this space.

I hope you all have had a lovely London Fashion Week, and made the most of it.

London Love

2010-09-10T05:24:00.000-07:00

The bank holiday weekend just passed, I had a brilliant time up high on a roof party, the view which one of my close friends has was just magnificent and definitely the best place to have a birthday bash.

There is a lot I should be doing. And not doing any of it. Whoops.

2010-09-09T13:58:00.000-07:00

Whilst waiting for my 2nd interview at Ted Baker this morning, I was inspired by a photograph a few posts down and thought I would do something quite similar myself with my recent purchases, and some not so.

I felt the Ted Baker interview went well, but all we need to do now is wait until Saturday, I am EVER so excited to hear back. Fingers crossed :)

It was one of the girls birthdays a couple of weekends ago, and yes I still have no job, and yes I still have no money, but it would have been rude of me to miss out on this beautiful trip, to Plymouth. I never realised how pretty Plymouth was, oh silly London girl, and my non cultured self.

I have two interviews coming up this week, one in Topshop, and the other in Ted Baker, both of them would be a bit lush. So fingers crossed.

Ps if you havn't commented on my street style photos on Vogue (below) Pretty Pretty Please could you do the honors to help me become a successful street style photographer.

A White Story

2010-08-24T14:14:00.001-07:00

Paolo Roversi is a favourite photographer of mine, his concepts and outcomes are always so soft and perfect, here is a favourite piece of work he had done earlier in the year for Vogue Italia in April 2010 with models Guinevere van Seenus, and Sasha Pivovarova (a favourite editorial model)
What I love about this shoot is that the colour 'white' doesn't look boring.

Amazing Aritzia

2010-08-24T10:23:00.000-07:00

I have been away for the weekend, and having come back, taking a sneeky peek at my sister blog here to notice she had posted the gorgeous look of Aritzia, something so delicious but simple bringing a smile to my face.

Joy.

I think I have gone slightly delirious at this moment in time.

Here's a short quick sketch for you types.

I am trying really hard not to be dissapointed.

Three shades from left, Chanel Khaki Vert, a moss green, Chanel Khaki Brun a brown meets grey and Chanel Khaki Rose a terracotta hue. Each shade retails at £19.

Is it just me, or does the colour palette of the collection goes hand in hand with the current utility, military and camouflage trends?

September Days

2010-08-19T15:19:00.000-07:00

Barbora Vesela & Marion Sealy by Nicole Hill.

Its a sad time as we approach the last days of summer, so soak up as much remaining sun as you can and sit back and relax whilst photographer Nicole Hill reminds us of the freedom and laziness of these sweltering days.

2010-08-19T14:52:00.000-07:00

Pondering over my favourite blogs, I stumbled across this bizarre but talented by Dalton Ghetti on Rackk and Ruin, and umm...WOW, he must have a LOT of patience...

The dude doesn't even use a magnifying glass. Hard Core.

Lets Try Something New

2010-08-17T09:08:00.000-07:00

So being away from university, I haven't done any illustrations for a long long time, its very upsetting, but I have had the opportunity to do some recently, and I have slightly changed my style, its a bit more arty farty with the use of paint strokes, and a nice rusty feel on old brown paper.

For some summer illustrations from back in the uni day click here.

I hope your all well, and enjoying the sun. x

A cute deviant

2010-08-16T05:26:00.000-07:00

On my daily dose on lookbook, I stumbled upon a very talented 16 year old photographer, the majority of her photographs are dancing with the nature, but her work is oh so pretty, and worth while taking a looksie here.

I agree with Bo & Bella

2010-08-16T04:15:00.001-07:00

I still want to do this with my hair, but just graduated and trying to get a career, i really think it wouldn't be the best idea.

I may be coming into London Thursday, who is about? would be lovely to see some of your blogging faces. x

Found - The Labyrinth

2010-08-11T02:21:00.000-07:00

As soon as anyone mentions the word, The Labyrinth, I get tiny shivers down my spine, remembering how that film made me feel when I was an iddy biddy young one.
but this the above does the same but in a different way, through excitement from something so magically beautiful. Thank you to Erica Weiner for creating such a lovely piece of jewelry, these different sized eight rough quartz crystals are strung onto an 18" sterling and most likely has a little magic in each one.

So someone be a darling, and feel free to send me one in the post from here

"You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do! You remind me of the babe!"

washed tones and leopard prints

2010-08-05T15:26:00.001-07:00

The big hair day.

Living in a house with a couple of kittens can be messy, but they are the cutest living things, small enough to tuck up in my single hand, if only they stayed this size forever...ho hum....
Loving my baby pink platent DM's at the mo, wearing them every where, even to the shops. A random started talking to me about my shoes asked me where I was going all styled up...to tell the truth, only to the garage to buy some milk, but he needn't know.

Found - A Kiss on a Starless Night

2010-08-05T07:33:00.000-07:00

I have been a big big fan of Wendy Bevan for quite some time now, I just love her colourful projects and her use of soft focus on the old camera. I got awfully excited when I found this, and there is a wonderful video to match on the link below, which is a must see.

testmag.co.uk/starless-night

This shoot she has done with Sayaka Maruyama is a little different to her usual style, the images are not her usual soft focus, it seems that she is trying something different, and its working for her. Nice one Beven.

Found - Everything Style

2010-08-04T10:41:00.000-07:00

Spend more time with others.

2010-08-03T17:59:00.000-07:00

I really need to stop job hunting till so late, I start to forget who I have sent my CV off to, and I would hate to resend them the same email twice, its never a good sign of going a little delusional, especially as it is such a late hour. Once I start something, I can't seem to put it down until it complete. error.

Here are a few snaps from my recent holiday.

Marking the launch of Esteban Cortazar’s first collaboration with Latin American retailer, Exito, Hanne Gaby Odiele.

Floral Fantasy

2010-08-02T04:49:00.000-07:00

I know I like floral print and carpet bags, but I truly didn't realise how much it is involved in my life until I stood back and took in my work space / bedroom. I thought it was rather delightful, and so I thought to post it up, along side my favourite photo of mine in my floral maxi dress on the rocks in Spain and a rose tea I had at a beautiful cafe in Brighton, the taste of rose flowing through my body, what more could I ask for.

Old Photo Finds

2010-08-01T15:05:00.001-07:00

I love looking through old photo's and thinking about all the good times, I remember these especially, it was one of the best nights I had at uni before everything got serious, second year was most definitely my favourite year, I had such good fun, going to New Zealand, enjoying my friends, meeting my boyfriend for the very first time... oh how I miss student life....already.

I think getting a job will pick me up, seeing as being ever so skint is never fun, as I can;t see my friends, or boyfriend. Miss you Lars (pictured above)
