Week #48

Back of the camera shot | Clothes Show photo shoot | My little sleepy polar bear | The long Christmas keeping Boulle out of the tree begins | Ta-dah! | Just hanging around | A Coca Cola visit | Free Radio Live | Look at the stars

It's been such a lovely week for me. I started off Monday with a What I wore today style photo shoot for a friends project. Made a change being in front of the camera rather than behind! I kinda wish I had a photographer to photograph my outfits. I know I'm a photography student, but it's seriously hard to tell if a shot is good when your using your tripod and a remote. I was back in my comfort zone back behind the camera on Tuesday shooting the fashion students collection for the clothes show. I was seriously impressed with the clothes, they were incredible.

I decided to put my Christmas tree up on Friday. I would have done it today but work calls and all that. Almost immediately Boulle mistook it for a climbing frame and is currently running round the living room chasing baubles he's managed to flick off. Oh to be a kitten.

After a long day at work yesterday, and a somewhat hectic one since the entire population of Telford flocked to the centre for the Coca Cola truck visit. I headed straight to Birmingham for the Free Radio Live concert which was brilliant. I've been twice before and the sound hasn't been great but it really seemed like a step up this year. I saw Lawson, Conor Maynard, Union J, Pixie Lott, Little Mix, The Vamps, James Arthur, The Saturdays and Ollie Murs. My favourites were definitely Little Mix and James Arthur, I seriously couldn't fault either of their performances.

Week #47

Toile shoot for the Clothes Show | Santa's grotto | Poorly day | Stir fry | Oh Christmas tree | Studio fun with flowers | Catching Fire! | Sunday lunch with my little puddings

I'm just about rounding of my week with 10 minutes to spare. That means it's 10 minutes until I can buy One Direction's new album. YES! After a fun filled week of photoshoots, a cinema date night and lots of christmasy treats I'm ready for my bed. A few poorly days earlier in the week didn't even put a damper on it but I'm all better now after a course of antibiotics. I can sense my weeks are going to be lots more fun towards the run up to Christmas. Sweet dreams!

Week #46

Another Real Techniques brush to my collection | Cat from Topman | Shooting for the Clothes Show | Feast for my sisters birthday | Borrowing boyfriends clothes | Sparkly socks Friday

I've been quiet this week on the blogging front, I had a tutorial on Monday and realised my dissertation AND one of my projects is in this side of Christmas. That's about 4 weeks time. Scary. I am involved in an exciting project with the fashion students and the Clothes Show Live though which will sit well alongside my studio project. We did a styling shoot on Tuesday which was just shots of accessories and tomorrow we've got a shoot with the clothing before the big shoot next week. I'll definitely try getting these photos up at some point to share and I'll be photographing my day at the Clothes Show in December.

Week #45

Wednesday night's outfit | Lusting after H&M's underwear | Got myself a honeycomb hot chocolate | Friday night cocktails | Little sister's birthday present

Can anyone else sense that first sparkle of christmas excitement in the air? The nights are dark, the air is cold and all the best Christmas ads were on the telly last night. It's so exciting! Oh and Costa's christmas drinks are back. No biggie. But seriously if you haven't tried a honeycomb hot chocolate please do, and make sure you have it with cream and edible stars.You won't regret it.

Driving Cadillacs In Our Dreams

Want That Trend dress

H&M fur coat

ebay boots

Topshop bowler hat (similar here)

Primark clutch

River Island necklace

I'm so stupidly in love with this dress it's unreal. I wanted the same one that was on Missguided over the summer, but I went on holiday and they were never to be seen again. I did a google search for something like 'Coral Aztec Shift Dress' a few weeks ago and the Want That Trend website was the top result. I've never bought from them before or admittedly ever even heard of them but the delivery was quick (though not as cheap as Missguided). Still I can't fault them or the dress. It's a lovely fabric which isn't what I expected it to be and I can't wait until next summer to go bear legged with sandals. Perfect!

Fluffy jumper

Primark Jumper

ASOS baroque skirt

H&M jacket

ebay boots

Primark necklace

Excuse these awful photos. I've really struggled lately with getting decent outfit photos. Being a photography student doesn't help, I'm always picking out tiny flaws and waiting for perfect lighting, which given the clocks changing and horrendous weather it seems hard to come by. I spent half an hour squelching around in the mud to achieve these. Maybe I need to rethink my backdrop but I just love the bricks and can't bear to shoot indoors. Anddd, i'm done.

I absolutely love wearing my new fluffy jumper from Primark, I originally bought a size 10 but decided on the oversized look and swapped it for a 12. I paired it with my pretty little baroque skirt and coat jacket from H&M which I swear I never take off.

Week #44

Anniversary flowers | Boulle snuggles | His silly nose | Save the Blow Dry shower cap - review soon! | My new dress

Me and Daniel celebrated out year anniversary on Monday. If your a long time reader of this blog, you'll know we were together when we were 16 but spent 18 months apart before reuniting last years. We weren't actually sure when we "officially" got back together so just picked a date at the end of October. He arrived home with a lovely bouquet of flowers and I arrived home for cuddles with puss cat.

My timetable at uni has eased of a great amount this week which I'm so grateful for, I admittedly scheduled in my own half term since all my sisters were off from school and college so project work has been very lax, but back to it tomorrow! I've also got an exciting project with some other girls on my course photographing a collection for the fashion students to be displayed at the Clothes Show at the beginning of December. It all seems to be go go go this time of year!
