A day at the seaside

Thank you to all my loyal followers who have been very patient with me over these past few weeks, I only have a few weeks of university left until it's all over. I am beginning to attempt to get my life back on track after surviving the past couple of weeks with 2-3 hours sleep a night, so hopefully from now on blogging should resume as normal!
I have so many new clothes and lots of exciting photography/styling projects going on, and I now finally have time to share everything since I've handed in my Final Major Project!!

One of the many projects I've been working on recently has been for my housemate Chanti's magazine, Fearne. The magazine is part of her FMP for her graphic design degree.
Chanti, myself and my bestie Katy-Leigh are the editors, with the concept being High-Street, affordable fashion styled into fun editorials targeted towards 18-28 year olds.

 

I photographed and styled this first editorial, whilst Katy-Leigh did an amazing job on the hair and make-up and Jason was my trusty assistant! The theme was a kitsch day at the seaside in Brighton.



Very embarrassing video, yes, I do genuinely sound like a child. (We are not this wide, the video appears to have made us both look a bit chubby!) This video gives you an idea of the concept behind the shoot and a behind the scenes view!

Dear

I am currently on a slight blogging hiatus due to university commitments, I'm in my last month of my final year so normal blogging will resume as soon as I have a bit more time on my hands.
I just thought I'd share with you today an album which is helping me get through days of dissertation writing which is slowly driving me insane. If you know me well then you will know that I rarely find music which I truly love, and I listen to the likes of Bon Iver, The Civil Wars, City and Colour and CocoRosie on repeat.
The album is called Dear by Keaton Henson, and it is a collection of fragile, tender songs written to a lost love. I love his story, he's a shy recluse who recorded the album from his london flat and spends his time writing music and drawing. Just the kind of romantic and simple music which always inspires me.
Let me know what you think!



I've gained a lot of new followers recently so thank you so much for following me, I have an exciting giveaway in mind for when I've handed in my dissertation and lots of exciting shoots coming up to share with you all!

Are you scared to wear your heart out on your sleeve?

This week has been so busy for me, and it looks like it's going to be this way for the foreseeable future, with my dissertation and final project taking up so much of my time as well as working to pay my rent and build up my portfolio. I love being busy but I just wish I would start feeling better as my energy is seriously lacking!
Got a fun weekend ahead of me, I'm going to see the Alabama Shakes tonight and going for a girlie night out tomorrow night!
Heres an outfit I photographed of a gorgeous Dixi Maxi Dress!
