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.

 Bright and bubbly today...

 Vintage Silver Collar Tips- "BarbedWireAndSilk"

 Warehouse Dress for the Mr's Birthday "Do"

The selling point- the gorgeous scoop cross over back and 30's style tassel necklace worn on reverse.

So today was a gorgeous sunny day so I went for these fabulous bright colours (shown in first snap). I thought the green scalloped vest (topshop) looked stunning clashing with the magenta cardi (house of fraser), so popped on a pretty jangley necklace, a button through denim tulip skirt (topshop again) and big chunky wedge boots (courtesy of my mom). Chunky by not so comfortable. But sod comfort, they looked good.

Below are my new vinatge silver collar tips that have just come into my life. As I am a regular wearer of shirts and all things with collars, I thought this would add a cute little edge to an outfit. Im looking forward to wearing them tomorrow. 

Underneath this, is a dress which iv bought to wear to the Mr's birthday next week. It caught my eye immediately as the colour is a really flattering shade on my skin tone, and the abstract leopard print is right up my street. But the icing on the cake was the low scoop cross-over back. I thought this would look amazing with a 30's style gold tassel necklace worn down the back, which I sourced from accesorize. Il probably wear it with some big-ass black patent platforms and thick tights.

Hope all my readers are well. Would love to hear anything from any of you, so feel free to leave a comment below, or on any of the previous posts that you have liked.

LFW.

So iv spent this lovely gorgeous sunny weekend not at LFW (london fashion week) as i'd hoped, but sat at home. I did make a little day trip to exeter on saturday to do a little shopping, the fruits of which il no doubt be show casing on this here blog over the next few days. I have also been reading as many blogs and watching as many videos of LFW as possible over the last 72hours. My love for Holly Fulton grows ever more, and i thought Louise Gray's ballon hat accessories were a fantastic addition to her s/s11 collection. Put a big smile on my face.
On my day trip to "the big city" i.e exeter, I wore a little denim tulip skirt (topshop) and a khaki green batwing knit jumper (asos) and my chunky wedge boots. I also took along my grey ruffle hem trench coat (George) just incase it rained, which incredibly, it didnt!! First time for everything. This look, topped of with my trusty satchel, Raybans for the beautiful sunshine, and ice cream coloured nails...
This evening I thought I would try out the braid halo a'la Jessica Alba at the Baftas. I uploaded a few snaps to see your guys opinion. Obviously it could be a little neater, but I thought this was a pretty good attempt for someone doing it on their own without a stylists help! Any reviews? I also tried to do the Betty Paige rolled fringe as seen at Diors s/s11 collection, but sadly this isnt possible as I already have a fringe, and all the tutorials iv found on youtube are done by people that dont have "bangs" and just roll the front sections of their hair into a sausage shape. This doesnt work with my hair as by the time youv done one roll, youv reached the top of your head. Maybe I should just try tonging it with a barrel iron? Does anyone have any recomendations or ideas?? Would love to hear from you.
