Along for the ride:

Yesterday I went out on location to set up some photographs for my final major project.

I'm having so much fun with self directing my work, I can finally do create something I love and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

I still have a lot to do as my my deadline is in less than a month, but it's worth every moment of it.

I shall share much more with you when I finish this last project at college.

But I couldn't help but post a small snippet these photos.

Dress: Thrifted / Sunglasses: Vintage / Coat: Oasis (sisters)

After filling up the tank and wiping the cobwebs out of my dads Maserati, I grabbed my sisters red coat and went out for a drive to find a nature reserve before sunset. It was pretty windy, my tripod got knocked over once but it was all worth it. Max loved the breeze in his fur!

Also, I thought I'd name this for my lookbook 'Along for the Ride' because I read a book by Sarah Dessen when I was about thirteen called this and it just reminded me of this.

More photographs to follow, I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them!

Wildfox Couture: Pre Fall 2013

After stumbling across the new Lookbook for Wildfox Coutures newest collection, my heart dropped and I fell in love with tie dyed shirts and knitted tops.

I have become familiar with this brand as one of my local branded shops sells the famous Wildfox oversized rose knit jumpers. They are so gorgeous and feel very cosy and well made. I always run into that shop and straight into this section as they always grab my eye and pull me to stare and hold them so I can pretend it's my own garment for a few seconds.

But when they released their new Lookbook for the Pre Fall collection, I jaw dropped! I love how they've still kept on with the rose knit jumpers for this season but have developed them into something ever so more amazing and beautiful and just ahhh! *fan girling*

I am in desperate search of a fancy pair of waisted trousers and jeans that have been spotted throughout the shoot. They match so perfectly with the hand dyed shirts and kitten space dust prints.

I'm really impressed. really. truly. oh my!

Can't you tell?

I adore the location set up and beautiful soft focus on the models as they put on their hiking boots and explore the purity of nature that preserves them. Photographing at sunset later on at the set adds an ethereal, magellic effect to the outfits that are out of this world. Also interpreting any time of glamorous props like the teepee, explorers hat, 35mm camera and the handheld candle light really pulls these outfits together.

Tres Bien, Wildfox, Tres Bien!

Marc Jacobs in LA!

My video entry for the Marc Jacobs competition to meet and hang out with the amazing Brian Bowen Smith!

I really enjoyed making this video! It was super fun and for once I actually enjoyed editing it too! (normally I get angry at iMovie and final cut)
I picked up the suitcase for £2 from a boot sale! The checkered lining is beautiful!
Also, the cameras are part of our collection mama and I have built up. I used a few favourites from it!

I hope you like it!

Extragged: Behind the Scenes part II

Remember back in December I posted a photo diary at an Extragged shoot?

Well recently I've been back on set, documenting the bit and pieces behind the scenes.

This photo shoot consisted of working with customisable pieces.

There were lots of amazing batman turn ups, levis pockets and tie dye shirts.

Check out their website and Facebook for more of their printed shirts and custom made clothes!

English Spring.

Of all the days where I have lots to do, Spring has finally arrived in England!

I couldn't help but just enjoy the sunshine, wearing floaty floral dresses, drinking florida oranges and swinging on the hammock chair in the garden.

It was definitely worth it considering I have a lot of work to do... oops!

I hope the snow has finally melted where ever you are in the world and the sun is trying to peak out of those grey clouds!
