Girly night in with Chinese takeaway. 9. I spent 4 days in Devon at the beginning of the week, and had to endure two 5 hour coach journeys in the process. 10. I love my Devon bed so much! 11. My gorgeous ginger cat Barney. 12. Scones in my favourite tea rooms.

I will post things other than instagram photos as soon as I can get someone to take photos of my outfits/ when I get my huge stack of film developed. I'm working 50 hour weeks at the moment so it's the easiest way for me to still post on here.

If you say the word then I'll say goodbye

So, I want to share my new room with you. I haven't finished unpacking yet so I will upload photos as I unpack and organise. I love looking on interiors blogs and seeing bloggers rooms, so I thought it's only fair to return the favour.

Instagram

So I got my first iPhone, I have been getting by with broken blackberrys for the past year so I figured it was about time. I have swiftly jumped on the instagram bandwagon, follow me @katiejanemabey



1. My first photo on instagram, my dungarees and poundland necklace, 2. Fresh photo of my new bumblebee tattoo, 3. Jasmine Pearls tea at Le Chandelier where I work, 4. I've had quite a lazy week which has consisted of me getting a few early nights, 5. I made my hair into a bow for work, 6. I revisited my youth with my sister when we went to see Mayday Parade at Electric Ballroom, 7. My new cat blouse from Asos with my trusty dungarees, 8. Pink hair and Lilac Lips for a lazy Sunday, 9. Barney, my cat's portrait on my thigh in a bubble bath.

Push me out to sea, in the little boat that you made out of the evergreen.

I love dungarees at the moment, they are all I want to wear and they instantly put a smile on my face when I put them on. I am on the look out for a black pair to start a dungaree collection.

 
I am now an official pastel haired belle. I dye my hair once a week and change between pastel, pink or a mixture of both. If anyone is interested to know what dye I use or how I do it, although I am no expert, let me know and I will dedicate a post to it.
 
I finally got myself a pair of classic black suede creepers, I have had my eye on them for a while but for some reason never got around to buying them. I have been a bit naughty recently and have bought a lot of new clothes. I am getting very excited by the idea of expanding my autumn winter wardrobe.


Another update is my growing interest in tattoos and growing my collection, I have always loved tattoos but this is my fourth this year, it's a bumble bee which is a very personal thing to me. I got it at London Tattoo Convention, which was my first convention and it was awesome!

And final shallow life update is my reliance on acrylic nails, I get them done every 2 weeks and really enjoy having nice nails for once in my life as I am infamous for my nail biting .

I'll be back soon!

Finishing my degree, working, applying to jobs and moving house has taken over my life.
But I'll be back next week with some exciting news!
In the meantime check out my ebay as I'm having to clear out my wardrobe for my new flat!

Nordic Poetry

So, at the end of last month I photographed the Summer Lookbook for awesome online vintage brand Nordic Poetry. I was so impressed with their selection of one-off vintage pieces. I shot most of the images in Teignmouth, Devon in a surf-punk themed shoot. Katy-Leigh was my partner in crime as always, not only creating all the hair and make-up looks and helping me with styling but also modelling herself. The weather was not on our side as anyone in the UK will know, but I love the way the images turned out! Here are my favourite digital shots, with the 35mm film images to follow!

Careless and Young

So I've found myself pretty bored with high-street clothes at the moment, I feel as though I have everything and I just keep seeing the same things over and over again. So recently I've turned to shopping online and searching for bargains on ebay! I've been so busy yet again with finishing my dissertation and setting up my final exhibitions that my nails aren't even painting which is crazy for me!







And I do have hair, it's just blending in with my t-shirt, it was lilac, which is now fading so next it will be candy floss pink :)
