My fashion World

My fashion world has suddenly become real not just a fantasy. I started my summer with 5 months ahead of me with nothing planned. Which for someone like me; who like to organise every second of life was terrifying.

I searched the internet to see what was happening fashion wise near me, Manchester being my best bet (1 hour on the train from my sleepy country town). I found out about the 'Making it series' run my the Manchester Fashion Network. The series of talks consisted of:

Series of catch up posts.

My life has changed dramatically since i have neglected my blog, so i feel i am going to have to do a series of catch up posts to get back on track with my whirlwind of a life.

My life has consisted of:

holidays to beautiful places

finishing uni

appreciating being home with the boy and dog

getting a placement!

networking and getting another placement

opening nights filled with champagne and bubbly

rainy days

wellies and splashing in puddles

cups of teas

an amazing grandmother turning 80

cake

TAKE THAT

Calvin Klein

London

graduate fashion week

Essex

Kelly Cutrone

Vogue

Tattoo lust

strawberry's

photographs

spring cleaning

and SLEEP

Hello old friend, how i have missed you

Dear blog... do you remember me?

Time has gone by so fast and I have been lost among the speed of life.

After all my busy times and adventures, I miss writing. I miss sharing inspirations.

I have so much to share with you, that I've scared myself away from writing again, thinking its been to long to start again.

But I am shoving that fear firmly to one side and my rather muddled thoughts and life will be written out, I will again share more that just memories.

much love x

Even when people are fragile they are still beautiful.

This week has been crazy for me and filled with so much sadness. I've had a lot of time to reflect on things and how lucky i really am. I have the most amazing family who i love more than anything. A boyfriend who i have given my heart to and he has given me his in return. And the bestest friends a girl could ever ask for Not just my friends of a lifetime (who are truly my everything) . But i have been lucky enough to meet the most amazing group of people here at uni and im so grateful for that and i want to say thank you to all of them.

I think sometimes it takes a sadness to make you relies what you really have and what truly matters.

New love of my life! CHANEL lippy!!

I got this for my birthday and it has to be the new love of my life!!!

Outfit post number one.

Me being in front of the camera is usually a massive no no. i end up talking or laughing and all in all not looking to beautiful. So you will have to bare with me while i try and get the hang of taking outfit pictures. No one ever explains the difficulty of trying to take photos of yourself... firstly i couldn't find anything to lean the camera on, then when i finally did i couldn't get the timing right and kept running back and forth like a headless chicken... then i started to hear laughing and cheering and realised the builders next door where could see me and where laughing at my attempts to pose (yes i did you like a champion idiot). Eventually I did get some barely decent photographs with only a few battle scars. Despite the madness of taking my first outfit photograph i am aiming to do more!!! (help me) so stay tuned ;)

Any way back to the main purpose of this post, the outfit!

shorts, topshop, present from santa

blouse, asos, January sales treat

tights, primark

wedges, new look

Kissing kate.

I've been sorting through the files on my computer and came across these photographs that I took back in october and completely forgot to post them.

Mandy Lynne

While looking at http://thedrifterandthegypsy.blogspot.com/ another of my favourite blogs (which is written by a 16 year old photographer oh my! ). I found some photographs by Mandy Lynne and they honestly took my breath away . I googled her and found hat she has her own amazing website with blog shop and portfolio.http://www.mandylynne.com/. What i loved most was her photo series that all tell there own story's i think this is so clever. It was so hard to choose my favourite images but here's a few. enjoy.

This photograph is her and her husband on there 12th wedding anniversary. I think shes really captured the love and happiness within the image

I dont have a clue how she achieved this image but it is truly magical. I would love to find out how its done.

These last photos make me smile, there so fun. Sometimes we think to much about how to create something and it looses all its fun.

Anerversary.

Ive been doing so much reflecting on the past years this week, what with new years and my birthday just around the corner. I think that becoming another year older always makes your wonder about how your doing? whether you have reached your goals?

But today i am reflecting about love. I have been with my boy for four years today, and i couldn't be happier. I don't claim to know what love is but i know that i feel it. he is the first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing i think about before i go to sleep. he is the person i want to call when something funny happens. He is my best friend. I don't know how else to say it except, i simply love him. Real love.

Over the past four years my life has changed so much, for the better. I have achieved so much that i am proud of. Had so many adventures. And none of it would have happened without my boy by my side supporting me with everything.

Festivities. Christmas, New Year and Love.

My new years resolution is to look after you my dear little blog. I see so much inspiration everyday.. and i want to begin to share it. Not just with other people but a bit selfishly for me.i want to have a place to keep all the lovely things and people i find on this amazing world wide web.

my christmas has been so lovely warm and snuggly. with family friends and fires. I have spent the whole time feeling very very lucky.

But i haven't had any time to be creative so that begins today!!! Ive missed it too much.

Happy new year!!
