Shoot on location

 me having a dance on the wall in the sunshine

Today was a glorious day where I discovered my calling in life. Standing on set bossing models around and directing photoshoots. It was heaven. Especially with the beautiful sunshine that blessed us all day long at Fort Bovisand. Above are a couple of polaroids I took through out the day. Forgive the hurrendous quality, but the film is 6years expired, so its understandable. - Unfortunately I have had to remove 4 of them as they have yet to be sign off. I will re-add these once the problem has been addressed.
Clothes wise for me, I got it completely wrong it seems... A flimsy summer dress right on the coast with the blustery wind, didnt turn out so well. I spent most my time hoiking it back down trying to preserve a little dignity. It looked pretty though, so thats the main thing.
Hope every one is well.

retro ronda...


Ok so my mom dug out some real trendy old high waisted Laura Ashley trousers that she used to wear in the 80's and I immeadiately fell in love with them. Theyv got such a cute faded look to them which id probably fork out a good £50 for if I found them in a shop. Ordinarily id wear these with a chunky pair of pink espadrils, but, sadly I have huuuuge blisters on my heels so had to go for flip flops today instead. This is a look that not all people like, but I plan to rock it all through the spring time as the florals tick a big seasonal trend, and theyr super comfy. Im thinking, big chunky wooden necklaces and bangles, and maybe throwing in some neon to mix it up abit.
Hope your all enjoying the sunshine. Lets hope it lasts.

on a day were you wake up with a crazy barnet you can...
pop on a floppy hat - very glam...
go ballerina style and tie on a flower garland headband.
Or give up and just eat pie.
Ok iv been very slack over the last week. I apologise. Iv been run off my feet preparing for the Mr's birthday weekend extravaganza which turned out to be pretty good, if not a tad expensive. At least the weather has held out for us. When I get a picture of my "get-ups" from the weekend, I'l bang them up on here.
Iv also been working on a flash website that should hopefully look rather impressive when done. Itl run along side this blog, with more images and videos etc. Exciting stuff!
Today I woke up with a crazy barnet.- fringe sticking out in random angles, triangle poofy plait hair, and generally just a mess. I tried a few things out to disguise it, and the 2 I most liked were the rafia floppy hat from H&M, which gave a glamorous twist to a basic vintage style pintuck shift from Miss Selfridge, and also a white flower garland headband from Accesorize that made it more relaxed and hippy-ish. Iv made the mistake of wearing this band across the middle of my forehead before, which left a very attractive indentation that stayed for several hours. Not something id reccomend.
In the end I gave up with my hair, and just ate some left over lemon meringue pie that I made over the weekend. Ahhhh... Much better.

Another day another dollar... spent in my case.

 Limited edition Barbara Hulaniki for Topshop slouch t-shirt and Ralph Lauren high ride camel chinos
 Hulaniki design on the top
Topshop platforms

Another day another dollar... spent in my case.Today was just a casual day at uni where we looked at internships and started a web design module. Weather wise, it has been gorgeously sunny all day long, and this meant that I didnt need too many layers to keep in the warmth. I pulled out my Ralph Lauren skinny high rise chinos and paired it with a limited edition Barbara Hulaniki for Topshop slouchy tshirt. Tucked in at the front to show off the belt and shoes stacked sky high, the look was a layed back and preppy. These platforms, I must admit, are not the most comfortable or easy to walk in. They had to be switched with some converse anytime I needed to walk more than 5 minutes. However, these were a bargin, snapped up for £30 in the sale back in January. 
Luckily, there were no damaged ankles here by the end of the day.
Also, just to let any regular visiters know, I will be getting a new good camera and tripod for my birthday next month, so Goodbye blurry snaps taken in the mirror! Hello jazzy proffesional and arty pictures! Hurrah. Its about time...
Hope everyone is well.

Tuesday Boo'sday

 Channeling the colour yellow...
Vintage yellow lucite necklace from Totnes Vintage Fair

Today I woke up in a happy mood, so was immediately drawn to my bright yellow pencil skirt. Yellow, not only being my favourite colour, I feel it is the universal colour of happiness. I think it has an unconscious affect on people and makes people smile. Maybe because it makes people think of sunshine?? Who knows... With this skirt, I matched it with a suedette laser cut top with a green and purple floral cami underneath so you just catch flashes of colour through the holes. Then with this I stuck on a vintage lucite yellow necklace I bought from Totnes Vintage Fair (the same place I got my vintage mulberry briefcase/satchel- best vintage fair ever!), to tie in with the colour of the skirt. I like to think I brightened up a few peoples days today.

I also had the hand in of a disertation I had been working on since xmas, so it was a weight off my shoulders to get that all signed, sealed and delivered. Now for the rest of the day I shall be getting a back and neck massage as my back is still super sore. All these high heels and 2 tonne work portfolios that have to be lugged around cant be helping. Hopefully will feel a lot better by the end of the day. After this, I will be pootling on over to the Mr's and maybe doing some baking. Pancake day is looming so might warm my stomach up for that by getting some practice in.

Hope everyone is well.
