dress: G21 at Asda
jumper: primark
coat: new look
watch: red herring

I don’t think my dresses get much shorter than this one and I opted to wear it to the doctors - talk about inappropriate. I do sometimes dread what I must look like from behind walking upstairs! The only accessory I wore today was earrings and they didn’t even match. I swear I walk round in the mornings asleep. I was in the darkroom all day so it didn’t really matter.

I got my work back for my Identity Project which I handed in last week, at the moment I’m on a B/C which suits me just fine, thank you very much. So much work to do in so little time, so I’m off to research the perfect bowl of fruit for Still Life in the studio on Monday.

KONY2012

I’m taking a different approach today simply because this video moved me so much. Throughout the 30 minutes I sat with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat thinking “Why is this man never in the news?” I don’t watch the news religiously, but my parents start and end the day with a news report so luckily I am one of those people who are aware of what is going on in the world.

It did make me feel slightly embarrassed to be British. The riots last summer were because children had nothing better to do, they moan about going to school and complain about the service they get from our free health service, yet these children live everyday in fear that they might be abducted or raped. We really should appreciate what we’ve got.

It also made me realise how little I do for charity, which I think is why this campaign is so clever - by using the internet to promote it. Yes your money would help, but they aren't begging for you to pledge, they just want to show the government that people care by sharing the video. You can buy t-shirts, bracelets, posters and action packs here which will come in useful on 20th April 2012 when there is a 'cover the night' mission around the world. Cover your town in posters. Make people aware.

So all I ask is that if you haven't already, you watch it and show you care.

Happy Monday to you all! It was yet another lovely sunny day today, I had my little retro pink sunglasses on. I did miss the sun though as I was at university. I spent 4 hours in the darkroom, 4 bloomin’ hours! So I felt like a vampire when I went outside and was faced with sunlight.

I’m going to go off on a rant now so here goes... A guy started talking to me at the bus stop and asked what course I was studying. When I said photography he straight away commented on how easy it is compared to his course (maths) “it’s just standing round taking photos” were his words. I wish it was that simple! It annoys me how arrogant people are towards it, I’m not saying photography is as hard as maths but it’s still a degree just the same.

I felt a bit like I was dressed for an interview today, in a push-the-boundaries-of-interview dressing kind of way. I mean I’ve never rolled up at an interview in trousers like this but the bow tie and shirt combination is definitely on the cards for any future interviews.

I love my new little ballet pumps, they remind me of the days I did ballet and they're so comfy. If you’re after a pair of these, I’d recommend New Look. Topshop do a similar style for £16 but these are exactly the same for £7.99!

Hope you’ve had a lovely week! I’m looking forward to this week and having the next two weekends off work. But now I am off to bed to read a book and watch Inglorious Basterds.

  shirt: H&M

leggings: H&M

rings: H&M
necklace : river island
watch: red herring

I got this shirt last week and I’m tempted to buy it in a mint green and a coral pink colour too. Then I saw the necklace in River Island and wanted to try out this mini trend for myself. I quite like it, I've been a little bit in love with anything with a collar since before christmas, and adding that little touch with a necklace really makes the shirt, if you follow my drift?

It’s been a weird start to the month, the weather has been gorgeous today and I intended going to university to hand in work and get the brief for a new project. That was until I blacked out in the shower. I didn’t want to risk the same thing happening on the way there so my mum took me to hand my work in and I’ve been emailed the new brief - I hate missing a day, I feel like there’s so much to catch up on! I can’t believe I’ve nearly finished my first year already. I’ve learnt so much about photography in such a short space of time, but I really am looking forward to the break - and going to LA!

What a beautiful day today has been. I do really love this time of year, just before the big buzz of summer when everybody is starting to get excited. It’s my Mum and Dad’s wedding anniversary as well today, silly buggers got married on 29^th February so although it’s been 20 years, they’ve only celebrated it 5 times, cuties!

I got told I look like Sarah Jessica Parker today, I think because of my choice of outfit. I always struggle to style this skirt because it doesn’t quite know whether to sit on my hips or waist, today I felt I’d done a good job though.

Also I hope you checked out UNESTABLISH in my sidebar, they're a great online store with some gorgeous clothing.
