Vanya.

Yessssss. Look what I found!! A lovely little website of vintage-type jewellery by Vanya. I'm very much into jewellery at the moment, especially rings and necklaces so to come across this lovely collection of them excites me greatly. Have a look at the beauts for yourselves on their website http://www.jewellerybyvanya.bigcartel.com/

I'll have this one first please..

No, not the round marshmallow-y, chocolate snack. The song. I can't get enough of it. Now, just when I thought I was settled with the Huckleberry Flint version, Mumford and Sons decide to do a cover which I have recently stumbled upon whilst on youTube. And what a delight it is...check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXJO7FZegeI

Topshop were spot on for the festival season this year, stocking their shelves with these fabulous shower-proof macs, coming in all different colours and patterns. Not only are they practical, they are actually also incredibly cool! I orginally bought this polka dot one for Glastonbury this year. However with the weather being so fabulous, meaning I didn't manage to wear it once, I couldn't quite help but feel slightly like I'd wasted my money. But with the last few months being typically British, I'm starting to believe this little gem is by far my best buy of the summer. Maybe even of my life. I've never used anything as often, and never felt so happy in the rain!

flower power

 This Summer was all about the playsuit. All over the catwalks and in every high street shop, the all-in-one outfits flourished in a plethora of patterns and cuts. Amongst many other patterns, florals were blooming from every shop window, fitting right in with that fresh feeling of Summer. So when we were given our styling project at uni last term, I jumped at the chance to shoot a whole wardrobe of summer fun. This was by far my favourite module of my course and I had a lot of fun planning, choosing a model, styling then shooting my photoshoot. Here are some of the pictures..
