365 Photo Challenge - Crash and Burn

Hey guys,

So i've realised that I am pretty much failing at the whole taking a picture everyday! In my defence i've been pretty ill and haven't really felt like taking pictures and I can already foresee myself getting back into uni projects and neglecting the challenge so I am going to quit while I am ahead! 

To be honest the photo challenge was my way of blogging more because it gave me something to blog about but it has become a bit of a chore finding something to take a picture of everyday as unfortunately my life isn't as exciting as I would like therefore my photos became very mundane!

I will continue the habit of blogging more often but will wait till something of relevance comes up to blog about :) As I said I will be starting new uni projects soon so will have plenty of photography work to share with you :)

 In the meantime I do have an outfit post of what I wore when I went out with the girls last week for cocktails and cheesy disco music :)

Excuse the photos taken against the wall in our house, it was pretty dark outside as we were just heading out!

Day 7-10 of the 365 Day Photo Challenge - New Outfit :)

Hey guys, 

I realise it has been a few days now since I have posted so this post is going to include photos from the last three days :)

Day 7 - This was me planning my outfit for Wednesday :) I had a presentation at uni which I hate doing so I thought if I was wearing a nice outfit I would feel a bit better about it :) The shirt is one I bought last year from Primark and the skirt is a new one from Boohoo, its such a nice fit as its a skater skirt and flares out perfectly on me :) You can find it on the website here.

Day 8 - This is me ready for uni on Wednesday :) This look is also on Lookbook :)

Day 9 - Thursday was mostly spent chilling out at home drinking fruit tea from my new Cath Kidston mug :)

Day 10 - This is the view from my bedroom window this morning :) I love waking up to a beautiful blue sky, even if its freezing outside!!

Please excuse the horrible background in the photo of me, we don't have many nice places near our house to take pics so a brick wall it is!

That sums up my rather uneventful week :) Ive got friends round for a girly nice tomorrow which should be lovely and then I imagine I will be working most of next week but I will still be taking my daily pics :)

I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see Surrounded by all this beauty...

Hey guys :)

Its been such a busy week this week, got both of my photoshoots done for my uni projects which is great :) Just means lots of editing and possibly a re-shoot of some of the photos but overall I'm really happy with how they have turned out :)

As promised I have edited a few to post on here to show and hopefully get some feedback :)

The shots are supposed to be used in an advertising campaign so would be used for a billboard or bus.

For this image I used eye rocks from ASOS I think they turned out so well, however they are not the easiest things to apply, but the effect is amazing :) I would definitely use these again! The eye rocks are modelled for me by my housemate Hannah isn't she stunning?!

For this image I used lip rocks also from ASOS and again I love the effect these have and these were surprisingly easy to apply! However not sure how practical they would be if you wore them on a night out for instance. I would definitely use them again for photoshoots though as I love the way the studio lights hit them :)

These are my favourites but I took a lot more!! :)

Let me know what you think :)

Watching the world coming down on my head...

Hi guys :)

The title of this post is from an old Yellowcard song Down on my head as it just so happened that I was scrolling through my itunes and decided that I hadn't listened to them for a long time. However the lyrics are also very fitting at the moment as it pretty much sums up how i'm feeling... Ive got soo much coursework to do for uni by December that it literally feels like the world is falling on my head!

Unfortunately I haven't had time yet to do my first shoot but I'm doing a sort of test shoot on Wednesday with my friend Hannah to get use to the studio and lighting etc, so I will upload a few pics on here when i'm done :)

I have however had time to update my lookbook so check it out! Clearly I have my priorities straight!

I have also had time to buy lots of pretty things on the internet with all the money that I don't have! Including this beautiful jewellery from Twirly Trinkets which I was sooo excited about and can't stop wearing :)

I also just got a really nice tan satchel from H&M in the sale for £10 which I have been eyeing up for ages and couldn't resist when it was half price!! Will upload a pic soon! :)
