Vogue.

I had the pleasure of shooting with the lovely Przemek Czaicki and Melissa Massey recently on a vintage Vogue-style themed shoot. The two of them were a great creative team to work with and I had an awesome time shooting with them. I also got to work with Ridma Kapuge, a fab makeup artist with a great eye for detail. 

We coffee'd and makeup'd in a cafe in South End Green (which made me feel like a film star, people kept having a cheeky look at me and Ridma!), then trekked through Hampstead Heath to get to the  Pergola in Hampstead Heath. After a walk which made us all feel like we were the Fellowship of the Ring on a journey to Mordor, we reached the Pergola which was such a stunning location - definitely worth it! After being promptly chucked out of said stunning location, we wondered through Hampstead and managed to find the best front garden ever and took a few cheeky snaps there too.

These are the results from the shoot. Have a look at the rest of Przemek's work at www.schadenkind.com. Mel also has a fab vintage fashion blog which you can find here: vintagetearoses.com.

Thanks again to the team for such a fab shoot.

Hope you guys like!

Thriller.

So it was Halloween last week. I absolutely love Halloween, especially this year as it seemed that people shifted from doing sexy costumes (although I did see a lot of sexy cobwebs - what?!) to doing costumes that were genuinely terrifying.

I followed suit and managed to get my fabulous pal Anna on board to do some special FX for this style shoot. I had a more toned down version of this makeup on actual Halloween so as to avoid hair sticking to my face - if you think getting hair out of your lipgloss is hard, try getting hair out of fake coagulated blood!

So here's my look; Elizabeth Taylor's Undead Cleopatra.

What I'm Wearing:

Dress - Missguided

Shoes - H&M

Accessories - Ebay/Amazon

Thanks also to Simone who took these shots today, what a babe!

Que Sera, Sera?

So, term is now in full swing. And I'm not sure I like it. Firstly, I have to do actual work after not having written anything for around 4/5 months; putting together full blown sentences that actually make sense on paper is a lot more difficult than I remember. Secondly, it is bloody freezing. Thirdly, and probably most importantly, I'm now being asked what's next. I'm in my third year of uni now so it's somewhat of a hot topic with most people in my year. I know people with fixed plans, I know people with no plans...I, personally, am all over the place. I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do and I still feel like the future is miles away even though it's really really really soon. 9 months away-type soon.

For the time being, I'm just going to pretend it's summer again and I have nothing to worry about for a little bit longer. This is the first in a series of outfit posts that the love of my life (Bridie) and I did whilst on holiday in the South of France. I was (and still am) completely obsessed with this skirt; as I've previously mentioned, pencil skirts are my fave, especially if they have an interesting print/pattern.

What I'm wearing:

Top: New Look

Skirt: Freak of Nature

Sandals: Oasis

Earrings: Primark

Work Bitch! Pre-Uni Haul.

    

So the time has come for me to start university again for the final year (gulp). So of course I had to go shopping to prepare for/cushion the blow of my impending doom. Before term properly started we had a student lock-in at my local shopping centre, meaning there were discounts at shops such as River Island and Urban Outfitters, so I went mildly insane. So what did I actually get?

Bestival!

Bestival blew me away once again this year. Bar the rain and my rain-related hissy fit, it was an incredible weekend filled with brilliant performances, sick dj sets and ridiculous costumes.

As an excuse to relive Bestival all over again, I've made a list of my favourite highlights of the weekend.
