As the shadow looms over

 Hoodie from Primark, recycled vintage shirt from Portobello Market, vintage Levi shots from Camden, tights from I don't know hehe, knee-high socks from TK Maxx, boots are Dr Martens

Finally I have had the chance to do another outfit post, I had some time to spare the other day before college to snap a few outfit photos in the garden. At one point my camera fell down the fence I was leaning it on and I freaked because I couldn't reach down to get it, I had to grab a nearby stick to reach it out and I'm still to scared to examine my camera for scratches! Oh dear. Anyway, that day I went to college and a few people commented on how nice I looked so I then thought how it was a good job I took photos before hehe. People are always really sweet about what I wear at college and the compliments really make me happy to wear whatever I want as I know people admire and like what I wear, it's very nice! I have only worn this shirt the one time *shameful face*, and that was at my graduation when I left school.. I should really wear it more, but I admit, I did forget about it ... now I'm glad I'm wearing it again.

Here is a photo that was taken of myself and blogger K Is For Kani when I got to meet her on the 14th April last month! She had travelled to London from Australia after becoming a finalist (down from 16) of ASOS Future Stylist 2012, it rounded up to her and another fashion blogger that were competing and the public got to vote who they wanted on ASOS's Facebook. They were in London for about a week and a bit I think, so we arranged to meet up and here we are on Oxford Street! Kani is and has been one of my favourite fashion bloggers for a long time so it was absolutely awesome to meet and spend time with her before she went back to Australia the next day :)

I am proud to say she ended up winning! Read her post here.

I'm not Snow White, but I'm lost inside this forest

Hey! Here are some fashion photos that I took for my A Level again that I'd like to share with my readers, hope you like them! :) Also sorry I haven't been blogging that much, been so busy with college and everything.. ugh. I need to do a new lookbook post aswell soon. The title of this is a line from the song Wonderland by Natalia Kills - such a great song that I got to experience live once, hehe. In these photos I really wanted to capture pure beauty of the surroundings and natural poses and I'm really happy with the way it turned out :-) Shoot was done on 19/04/2012.

ALLISON HARVARD

If you follow me on Tumblr then you may have realised my slight (ok huge) obsession with Allison Harvard. You can view all my photo posts of her here, (yes there's more than the above!). Let me first start off by saying, this 24 year old beauty is the most perfect creature I have ever come across... She is my definition of perfection. She is my idol, along with the Olsen sisters, of course.

Here is a little bit about her off Wiki;

Allison Elizabeth Harvard (born January 8, 1988) is an American fashion model and internet celebrity. She is best known as the internet sensation "Creepy Chan." She was also the runner-up of the twelfth cycle of America's Next Top Model and the runner-up of America's Next Top Model: All-Stars.

SHE SHOULD HAVE WON! It still upsets me to this day that she didn't, the majority of people who watched the show fell in love with her and wanted her to win too but once again in Cycle 17, she came second due to Tyra's poor, very poor choice. Everyone adored her sweet nature, big blue unique eyes, stunning features, quirky peronality... the list goes on. Allison is also a very talented artist and sells prints with personalised notes with each one written by her lovely self. She's such a gracious, kind & caring person who takes time to reply back to fans! I'll leave you all her links below:

<3 I love her so much, words cannot explain :3

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you

Here is an outfit I wore to a college party :-) Recently I ordered these creepers off eBay and they arrived about 3 days later and I was like FINALLY I HAVE CREEPERS! Next I would like white ones >:) But gosh, colour ones are pretty awesome too. Also I've finally got the chance to wear my Topshop legging-y things, they shine all colours of the rainbow hehe, I love them, worth the £20 I spent on them <3

Loving Strangers

Levi jacket from charity shop, cardigan from stool in Portobello, tights from Portobello Market, jumper from charity shop, butterfly necklace from Primark, shorts & backpack from Urban Outfitters, socks from TJ-Hughs, sunglasses from Primark, boots are Dr. Martens.

In these first two photos I used the AV setting on my camera to capture light streams and have the shutter speed set automatically to about 1 second, this captured movement and light in really interesting ways, and gave a panning effect in some. I took much more of these sorts of photos, of my friend for my Photography, and they are really cool, but I just want this post to show a short selection of photos that have been taken recently... So I then bring you to a pic of myself and friends at the beach! Recently me and my friends from my Acting class have become really close, we've been out to the park twice this week, then had a BBQ party (the photos of me in purple jacket), then to finish off, yesterday on a lovely Friday evening, 5 of us went to an American diner and had dinner whilst having lots of laughs and chats on the night before. I've loved these past few days, the sun really helps too because it's stayed out and it really feels like Spring now!

Sweet Disposition

Jumper from a charity shop, leggings from Primark, bracelet bands from Topshop.

Here's an outfit I shoved together on a really cold miserable 3rd March day. Previously the few days before it was such lovely Spring, even Summer-like weather... but I didn't have enough energy to take photos on these days, typically. I must have been quite tired. I went and met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while with another friend and it was a really good day, we went around the shops, I bought lots of chocolate, these bands and a headband. My friend bought some American sweets from Cyber Candy. The sun happily did greet us eventually. The photo of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in April's issue of Elle was taken today as I bought Mary-Kate's when coming back from college ^.^ and my mum got Ashley when she surprisingly texted me saying she had bought it for me and hoped that I don't already have it. Which is fabulous as I was going to get Ashley's cover too, tomorrow, now I don't have to! My mum is totally aware of my Olsen obsession so she knew that I had most likely heard about them being on the cover already haha, very true. They look gorgeous in it, I am so happy that they are finally on the front cover of something again, that I can get in the UK!
