A summer of love.

WELL. apparently I havent blogged since January, JANUARY? what is wrong with me. Ive been very out of touch. And so much has happend! FIRSTLY London Fashion Weekend. Then finishing second year, THEN I went travelling around South East Asia for six weeks. Alot of photography to be shared.

LFW - So the girls and I pretty much spent three days shopping and drinking cocktails, nothing better than that really! Didnt have any encounters with any celebs however, but theres always next year! We spent three hours in Topshop Oxford street, and im not usually a massive Topshop fan but that place is unreal! We spent a day in Brick Lane exploring all the amazing vintage clothing! All in all I didnt buy too much, as there was far too much choice!

Back to reality..

January 4th 2012, what a depressing day. Christmas and new year are over, all the festive partying must stop, and most of all EXAMS. Saying goodbye to freinds and family and heading back up north to sit dreaded exams and then get on with another semester, horrible! Its been a while since I have blogged, as I have been so busy (drinking / eating / sleeping). But I thought I would post a few things I have gained over the last month!

Firstyly my Chiltern London handbag! Absolutly gorgeous, found it in Mr Bens vintage shop in Glasgow (if you havent been, its highly advised http://www.mrbenretroclothing.com/ )

The bag was only £15 and I just love how it looks so classic and expensive! Was in really good condition aswell!

My New Year dress! Topshop, found it in the sale for only £20 down from £40, love this colour at the moment! Unfortunatly the first photo does not do the dress much justice as it does infact have a long tail at the back, a popular style at the moment, but I had tucked it up so it didnt look stupid with my jacket and forgot about that when this photo was taken! But you can see the tail better in the second photo of me and some of my girls on Hogmany!

These shoe boots, I surprisingly got in Primark! I never find anything half decent in there but I fell in love with these!

They are ridiculously high which is the best thing about them, because I mean really, go hard or go home!

I also got the leggings I posted previously, with the tribal pattern, from Urban Outfitters! I could go on and on and on but these are just a few of my favourites!

My life in photographs...

Thought I would quickly explain why I have all the little pictures down the side of my blog! I put them up because I think they look really nice but also beacause they all highlight different things I do / things I like! All the photos are done in different styles using the Instragram app for the Iphone, which I am absolutly in love with! Have to steal my boyfriends phone all the time however because I am stuck with a blackberry. The first two are just posters I have up in my flat, that I was kinda testing it on but they look really cool I thought. Then there is my mood board for uni, showing my theme chosen for a photoshoot ( last post is the finished work! ). A few of the photos are taken when I went down to Aberdeen beach and was just playing around in the sand etc but I love the peace sign in the sand, its one of my facvourite photos ever, mostly because I LOVE the peace sign a lot. The most recent photo at the top is the Coca Cola christmas truck (obviously) that I visited when it drove to Aberdeen a few weeks ago! It was very exciting, totally made me feel like a kid again! Oh yeah and not to mention the one I took when I was messing about with the letters on the fridge, clearly having the time off my life and leaving a cute little message for my friend!

But anyways Im gonna keep posting them so look out for new ones, mostly of random, un-important things, but all of which are significant to me!

FINALLY!

My work is DONE, at LAST :). So I have managed to finish my magazine spreads for uni, and I am quite happy with them! Took alot of time, hardwork, and effort but it was all totally worth it! Our course is publishing a fashion magazine made up of photoshoots and articles etc that we have all done ourselves, it has been such a good experience! The magazine is called 'Muse', and focuses on the Diversity in Fashion. Thought I would post a few pictures of my finished stuff before I hand it in tomorow and wait on my more than likely, awful, grade!

The photo quality isnt great but hopefully you can get the idea!

 

Front Cover and Editors letter pages!

This is the first double spread of our tribal themed photoshoot, staring the sexy, Hannah Sture.

More of the photos with a colour bleed over them!

This was my double spread for my article that I wrote. I wrote an article on the cruelty to animals in order to make fur. It was really interesting and I loved doing it, found out some really shocking stuff!

Product page - This was my second attempt at my product page and im still not happy with it but really dont have the time / will power to do a third one!

Couldnt of done it all without the best partner in the world, Hannah Whiting (http://fashionmagpies.blogspot.com/) check out her blog! And of course our photographer Rachael, who was amazing!

Fingers crosssssedddd!

INGLOT.

So, INGLOT is a new make up store in Aberdeen, apparently it originated in Scandinavia, and has spread to many countries over the world! I went into the shop for the first time the other day, and I fell in love! It was an amazing store, so shiney and colourful and sleek! It made you totally want to buy EVERYTHING. I went in for foundation, as I needed a new one I thought I may aswell try it out. There was so many different shades, so I asked one of  the ladies (who were all foriegn) for a colour match, instead she said she would give me samples of all the shades close to my skin tone so I could take them home to try them out.  I thought this was a really good way of doing it as I could then see how each would look after I have all my make up on for day to day wear. I am heading back today to buy the one I liked best :) It was also only £14 found for a resonably big bottle which I thought was very good value, as I would usually not mind spending about £22 on a Clinique foundation or something! The store/brand I thought had so many similarities to MAC, except it was a lot cheaper! I deffinatly can see myself going in and buying hundreds of different lipsticks and nail varnishes as I LOVE different coloured lipsticks! I have deffinatly found myself a new make-up OBSESSION! Heres a wee link to the website so you can take a look -

Holidays are coming...

So, Im not usually a very christmassy person, I ataually hate it, but i have my reasons! But the other day I went to visit the Coca cola truck (See picture on right) when it was in Aberdeen, although it was slightly disapointing, I ataully got me in the mood for Christmas! Theres tons of stuff I want right now, so I have a massive list of stuff I hope to get...

    AZTEC print jumper, NEW LOOK. The one I atually tried on was the opposite way around, white background with black pattern, but it doesnt make that much difference :)



Love getting new perfume at Christmas time, different smells always remind me of different years! In love with DAISY at the moment, even though its been out for ages! Im hating the newer ones, Lola/Oh Lola.

Been looking for a nice pair of Chelsea boots for ages now. These ones are quite nice, but there TOPSHOP, and I prefer to look elsewear for similar ones as TOPSHOP is so common etc!

Loving AZTEC print leggings, Urban Outfitters have nooo many online, going to Glasgow soon to do some Xmas shopping so deffinatly going to raid it!

Ive also been in a huge hunt for an oversized stonewash denim jacket, and a denim shirt! Ive look everywhere for a denim shirt I like but they all just seem to look cheap :( Ill keep looking tho!
