New Directions

So guys and dolls! I still have no intention of resurrecting this blog (although it has crossed my mind) but, I have enjoyed rambling in your lovely company previously - enough to feel obliged to sha...

Silence

After ostensibly 3 months of not updating and arguably a year of on-off posting, I think its time we admit defeat and call it quits. I could go into a myriad of reasons why and eventually talk myself...

Birds of A Feather

Oh hi guys! Been gallivanting around Italy for 10 days (more on that some other time, maybe?) and then straight back to uni this week... Ive not even had a moment to sort myself out properly, let alo...

Festivals, Fun And Oh Yeah... I Forgot About This...

So this blogging thing... piece of cake, right? So easy to keep on updating... just type some shit and click publish, right? Apparently not in my case. Maybe its my perpetual need to seem interesting...

Zero

Lets say no to trends, to mindless consumption, and instead, open with a resounding "yes!" to being creative. Dress up, have fun, diy, look foolish and break the rules. Re-invent and repurpos...

Motivation

Or alternatively titled, words Ive spotted on tumblr that happen to fit my current thoughts and/or frame of mind... Let the adventures begin my pretties! Credits: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

Always And Forever

Perhaps its a fashion student cliché now, to claim McQueen amongst the favourites for designers, but its true. Ive yet to meet a single person on my course who doesnt like McQueens work. Considering ...

Dear Diary

In an attempt to free myself up again, Im taking a cue from Elvis with "a little less conversation, a little more action, please" and although slow progress, it is working. Truthfully, someti...

Storytellers

Theres something delightfully appealing about the dressed up world created by Saga. We can blame the epic 3 hour conversation I had with Dean the other day, which culminated in both of us agreeing th...

Rip Tide

I cant be the only one really rather excited about a new album from Beirut. Honestly, its probably stemming more from the prospect of seeing them live soon enough, but just thought Id share the two r...

Dry The Rain

Ahh, hello once more! We have acquired some internet in the house finally. No longer are we living in the 1970s, although it is remarkably fun to pretend. Im sure my friend will continue to play her ...

On Beauty. On Life.

So... Ive spent the weekend pretty much watching Sex & the City back to back. Yes, alright, not at all my usual thing, nor perhaps the best use of time, but its addictive, what can I say? Truthfu...

Renegade

Im not someone who cries at the slightest thing, but when Dean sent me this Kate Tempest recording, I admit to sitting in stunned silence on the verge of tears for quite some time. Her words are so p...

Rock Salt

A few more snaps from that last reel of film I developed. These are all taken when the stars collide and I finally get to see my best girl, down in Devon. I can scarcely believe some of these were ta...

Queens Of Noise

Prolonged absence yet again. I toy between updating and not updating the blog on a regular basis and as you can see, Im still uncertain. Anyway, I have actually been without internet for a few weeks ...

Reality Bites

Well hello there folks! Its been a while since Ive actually written properly. Id love to say I have some wonderful excuse, such as I had a bit of a hitch-hikers moment and found myself on board some ...

Rainy Days

The novelty of getting film developed never wears off. Often, it takes me a while before I finish off a reel. Meaning, by the time I get the photos back, half are a complete surprise. These few are f...

Nightfall

Finally, I get round to sharing my friend, Justins film. Huzzah! Made for the body project at uni (hes a 2-d student as opposed to me, a 3-d one... hence the film rather than garments I made). I am u...

Back To Black

Strictly speaking, I shouldve posted this outfit last week, when it was actually worn/photographed... but the week has been busy and I have been a perpetually lazy arse. Lately, black seems to be tak...

Underneath It All

Super quick post alas! For my deadline is upon the morrow and I still need to finish some things off. That and its my friends 21st today, so I should probably show my face for a wee while at the part...

Howl

Some assorted tracks/musicians of the moment, as discovered through friends. No commentary today, other than I just quite like them. Enjoy!

Saving Face

Ahh May... fast becoming a life crisis/self discovery month for me. Truthfully, sometimes you just need time to figure stuff out so lets leave it at that and continue forth. In a bid to post somethin...

Saturday Fever

Im not really in the mood to write a lot today. Its been a generally pleasant, if bizarre day for me, involving very open conversations with friends, constructing sandwiches in the park using a card ...

The Little Things

Life, with all its funny twists and turns, often leaves me confused. Perhaps its due to my constant thinking or perhaps its just that the world is fucked up and negotiating your way through it isnt a...

Blocks Upon Blocks

Ive been having one of those so-called creative blocks for the last few months. Actually, I think we should just call it a life block rather than specifically a creative one because its more accurate...

Playtime

Last week I finally watched a documentary on Leigh Bowery, as recommended to me by the wonderful Dean. Ive not got much to say, other than I wish the whole experimental dress thing was still prevalen...

Stranger Danger

Well, well, well... its been a glorious spring day in old Bristol town. I went for a nice meander along the river and my mood has been great all week long, so here I am, peeping my face out into inte...

Lost In Thought

Well hello there! Its been a while. Or perhaps it hasnt and it just seems like a while. Who knows? Ive sort of fallen out with blogging lately, so that probably explains why Ive not felt like writing...

Tongue Tied

So, Ive decided Im going to start posting about music on here occasionally. Im not really sure why, because Ive never really wanted to before (I love music, but I dont know much other than what I lik...
