obsessed

I am officially obsessed with barry m nail varnishes, its quite concerning, yesterday I painted my nails turquoise...



Then today I spent the day out with my flatemate camilla and I showed her the heights of barry m as they don't have it in italy and I couldn't resist buying a purple glittery colour called 'once upon a time' which I added on top and I now love!



Also today Camilla and I visited the Victoria and Albert museum in South Kensington because I really wanted to see the exhibition 'Telling Tales' - Fantasy and Fear in Contemporary design, it was such an amazing exhibition and museum in general I really enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone, and it was free which is always a plus. The exhibition itself was made up of three sections, the first, which was my favourite was called Forest Glade and included fantasy pieces which all took on natural forms and the music made it sound as though you were outside, my favourite piece from this section was the wardrobe made of hand painted leaves with branches to hang your clothes from...



The next section was the enchanted castle which was more flamboyant with lots of metallic and shiny surfaces. The last section was heaven and hell in which my favourite piece from the exhibition was held, which was a taxidermy of a fox with golden maggots coming out of his ears, the way the exhibition was presented was very original and unique and worked well with the theme creating a dramatic effect which is hard to explain.

In other news I can't wait till halloween, all the costumes and sweets have already started to come into the shops, and I've already decided that due to my love of the Jeremy Scott LFW show i am going to dress up as Pebbles from the Flinstones [:
The hair is just so amazing! I've always wanted to put a bone in my hair and go crimp crazy and now i have good reason to!

do my shoulders look big in this?

Today has been such a fun day, i met up with Claire who i haven't seen in way too long and we went shopping in Portobello Market where we always manage to find some good things. I bought a cameo necklace and a watch necklace and we ate at a really nice grill on a terrace above the street. It was good just to catch up and spend a day relaxing, we also browsed the Selfridges underwear department for ages in awe of all the amazing things they have up there.
Whilst browsing the shops searching for the perfect Balenciaga or Balmain - esque pieces as i am still obsessed with both of these labels at the moment i found some amazing leggings in Oasis, where i never usually shop which i hope to buy just as soon as i find myself a job.
Im off to joshes tomorrow and I'm hopefully going to get the photos developed which i've been busy taking over the last few weeks so I'll upload them soon.

london baby!

Okay so i just moved into my halls of residence in New Cross, London, which will by my new home for the forthcoming year which is very very exciting!
My room is very small and very bland and boring however i am in the process of organising my things and trying to make it a bit more exciting and i'll post pictures when thats done...
I have six housemates who are all very nice, theyre all so diverse, from spain, belgium, italy, korea and the uk.
Ive been so busy ever since ive moved in catching up with old friends and of course making lots of new friends.
Today I met up with Tom one of my favourite old friends...



(A picture I took of him for my final major project earlier this year)

We had such a fun day today we found an amazing creperie near soho and we ate there which was so good and then we looked in lots of vintage shops and he bought me the most beautiful cupcake which was from the most adorable shop on carnaby street which sold cupcakes in almost every flavour imaginable. I chose the blueberry and yoghurt flavour mainly because it had a huge ice cream sweet on top...

i'll undress you with my eyes

Soo Josh came down last night which was absolutely lovely, it was a really short visit but well worth it, last night we just ate a meal together and relaxed and today i organised a surprise picnic and we ate a roast dinner in the evening, it was nice to have a break from cramming college work with boring shifts at work.

Ohhhh and he bought me one of my favourite presents everrrr!! Kat Von Ds book about her tattoo shop and autobiography and loads and loads of pictures! I love it...



This is me the other day with my new feathery headband on which i love so much! its so cute...



And this is another of my black and white 35mm self processed and developed photos, this time its of Taylor Joshes nephew whos the cutest in the world.

I've had such a nice lie in today I get so tired in the week working late nights and getting up early doesnt go too well together, so today i decided to sleep in and have a bubble bath which was really nice. I'm now painting my nails my favourite grey colour. I'm going to try and upload at least one of my photos each day and today theres two which are on black and white 35mm film which I've processed and developed myself...





The first is a portrait of my sister which I took in the style of Helmut Newton and the second is a portrait of my dad.

This afternoon im going into college to model for my friends project the show, so I'm dressing up as a ballerina, it should be really fun.

don't you let me go let me go tonight

Heres what i wore today, I'm going to try to post what i wore each day if i can...



Excuse the bizarre facial expression i was a little windswept. Oh dear...

Today has been so so busy I had to get up super early because I had errands to run before i had to go to college for 11. I took in two films to be developed one disposable camera and one ordinary colour film I'm picking them up on friday so i hope they turn out well. I also posted back the tshirt i ordered off topshop because its absolutely shapeless and ugly ]: anyway college was boring and uneventful although it was good to catch up with cerys, and work was really easy I finished ridiculously early.

I'm going to finish this blog tomorrow because im really sleepy.

So I've had a really busy weekend shooting Tom for my fourth photoshoot for my Final MaJor Project 'Fantasy versus Reality'. He wrote me a dream diary and we picked out one of his dreams to focus this shoot on, we chose a dream in which he was covered in multi-coloured feathers and we staged it on saturday, it took most of the day and was really tiring but it was definitely worth it.

I decided to use colour film, disposable camera, digital and polaroid for this shoot and these are the eight polaroids which I took and I really like how they turned out...






Im going to process and develop the other photos this week hopefully and now I've finally worked out how to use my scanner I'll upload them [:
