Go out for a walk, come back with inspiration and a dead camera battery!

Hey Guys, 
I said I would try post everyday but LIFE always gets in the way.
Its been nice catching up with everyone back in Pembs.

SO today was really sunny, i decided to go for a walk to clear my head and find some possible locations for my photo shoot when I have finished creating my brand.
I ventured out in my red aztec leggings, docs (which I live in) and big green parker (which I also live in). I walked down to Doc Yard and around to the stoney beach not far from my house and got some really good Graffiti pictures and some much needed inspiration to get me back on track with my work.

University sure is stressful. But I love it because I'm doing Fashion. Who wouldn't love that. :)
                                     
                                    





My brand is based on a simple idea, rural meets urban. These last two pictures are two perfect places where I can place my models.

Spring blues :(

Hey guys, well isn't the weather great! Not.
Its spring the weather is supposed to be improving, but the snow in some parts of the UK is ridiculous.

So as a sort of S/S cheer-up attempt I thought I would show you a few of my favourite bits and bobs at the moment. 
The sunglasses are from Topshop last season at £16.00, the one day we had sun a few weeks ago I got them out (even though it was still bitterly cold)
My Wreck this journal is from Urban Outfitters at £8.00, I had it as a christmas present and cant wait to get my teeth into being creative over the summer! I shall be posting at later dates completed pages for you to take a peep at.
This months VOGUE, the first one i have a chance to read in a while. Even though there are a tone of adverts I still love it and always will. Its so chic :P



Some things that caught my eye.

 
Interesting typography and simple advertising does the trick :) Normally I just tend to look at the pictures and wish I had everything in them. Simple simple simple is my fav. 



When I went to New York I had the chance to go to Bloomingdale's. It was amazing and I couldn't leave without buying something from the 'Little Brown' range. So I treated myself to a make up bag.
This was $12.00 :)

MAC!!!
Another purchase from New York was this Mac lipstick, I absolutely loved the guy that served me he was very bubbly and suggested I try this purple colour. It goes with my skin colour perfectly and as I have quite full lips makes a statement without going over board. 
This was $16.00 so a little cheaper over in the U.S

BB Seaweed

Hey again, just a quick one from me before bed.
Im not normally the type of person to spend a lot of money on beauty products BUT I must say that living in Cardiff has opened my eyes to more possibilities.

This is a fresh face mask from lush. This one is called BB Seaweed and at £5.95 a pop not so cheap but completely worth it. It makes my skin feel amazing, this particular one is for combination skin, I would also recommend Love Lettuce and Catastrophe Cosmetic as they are soooooo scrummy.



I also really love the packaging of these cute little pots.
Tip: I froze this particular one (fresh face mask) and its completely fine, so if you have too much freeze it. Also if you collect 5 pots of these then you get a free face mask. Can't go wrong there. Lush you are the greatest.

Bargain hunting

Hey guys, trying to do at least one post a day, so i'll fill you in on my little bargain I had last week.

So I hadn't been shopping in a while so the other day me and my flat mate ventured out of our Uni halls  for some retail therapy as the long days of flat life were starting to take its tole.
We were having a right good look and as Mari has the eye for a bargain we went into Oasis as the sale was on.
I found this cute little bag...
 It was £45 down to £22 and then down again to £15! I was so pleased as I can't find bargains to save my life. :)

Also my friend Mari who also bought a bag has a blog :) check it out she's pretty awesome! http://mariangharad.blogspot.co.uk

New toy, New blog

Hey guys,
I'm a fashion promotion student at Cardiff University in Glamorgan Atrium. :)
I bought a MacBook Pro about a month ago to help with my course as my laptop was getting pretty old. It's lasted me a good 5 years and so I had to move on :( All I can say is thank god for student discount.
I've wanted to start a blog for a while now, so I thought why not start while I'm off for Easter. Ive got plenty of time on my hands now I'm not partying 24/7.





Pictures of when I first bought it and in action doing work in one of my lectures, with its new green case I got from amazon.
