I'm such a terrible blogger! My last entry was well over a month ago which I apologize for. I've just been so bogged down with work(actually, that's kind of a lie - we had the Easter holidays and I did pretty much nothing but procrastinate. Oopsy..) but over the last two weeks, I've had mock exams, photography deadlines as well as revision, which I haven't done much of. I just can't find the motivation!

Anyway, I have no pictures(because I am lazy and because this is a quick update before I go back to blogging normally) but I will update you on the main things that have happened since March, and there isn't much.

• I went to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour a couple of days after it opened and nearly cried. You ahve no idea how much of a Potterhead I am, and walking down Diagon Alley and seeing Hogwarts in all it's glory was just indescribable. BEST DAY EVER!!!
• I returned back to college and had mock exams(as said earlier)
• At the beginning of this week, I had my five hour photography exam and then for some reason, I decided I'd finish all my book work this week too, so now I've completed the whole course(even though everything doesn't have to be in till monday!) 
• I attended a recruitment evening at Lush(I can't remember if I said about that in my last post, I probably did, but ok) and didn't get pass the evening, which sucks, but life goes on.

um, i can't think of anything else! my life is really boring, i basically do nothing but sit on my computer and go to college and work. that's about it! right, well i must go and attempt to do some revision!

Wishlist: March/April 2012

1;Topshop, 2; Zara, 3; New Look, 4; New Look, 5; River Island,
6; eBay, 7; Miu Miu, 8; Topshop, 9; Net-A-Porter, 10; ASOS 

I quickly whipped up this wishlist for March/April 2012. I'm going to try and do a wishlist every time it gets to the middle of the month. I think with the items on this list a couple of great outfits could be put together.

I'd pair both the Zara heels & the Kitty shoes with the Topshop jumpsuit. I'd put the River Island jumper with the maroon jeans which I would then pull together with the Zara heels. Alternatively, I'd put the RI jumper with the pastel purple jeans and then with the heels, wedges or the Miu Miu flats(which I can't afford, but a girl can dream, right?). And the last look, being the combination of the salmon coloured topshop top with the ASOS skirt, a long with the Zara heels or the kitty wedges! And with the Mulberry bag, well, it goes with every outfit on this list(I'm trying to imagine it with the purple pastel jeans though, and I can't decide if that would work or just look plain awful..)!

I hope you've all had a fantastic weekend, and also, happy mother's day to all the mumma's out there! 

apologies!

Ah! I feel so terrible for not blogging for what? a month or two. I've been so busy. I've had a photography coursework deadline, then I went on holiday to Florida for two weeks, which meant catching up with college work, and now I'm onto the next thing, which is preparing for my exams at the end of this year! Everything is so hectic, and I can't wait till Summer where I can just relax and let loose a bit!

Anyway, earlier this week I popped into WHSmith and picked up Teen Vogue & Company Magazine. I've never bought Company but it has Florence Welch on the cover so I felt inclined to get it.

Sorry for the crappy webcam picture! My DSLR is currently tucked away!

I'm pretty impressed with Company magazine actually. I keep flicking through the pages and thinking to myself, 'Why in the world didn't I pick this up earlier?' I feel silly for not doing so!

Also, yesterday evening I attended the Lush recruitment evening! I really want a job there and luckily when I went in to town on Wednesday after college and asked one of the girls there if there were any jobs going, she said that I should come along to the evening, so after two days of waiting and research I went along to find out that I'm going up against 15 other girls to get a job there. I'm not going to lie, I'm more than a bit worried. I really want to work there, but considering some of the girls were Christmas Temps., I really don't think I stand a chance, but positive vibes, I guess!

ugh, I now must leave to go do some homework! Hopefully I'll be able to update the blog more often now, so stay tuned!

pull up in your fast car, whistling my name

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been so busy with both English and Photography coursework and trying to get all of my things finished and handed in by the deadline date. I've also had quite a bit of homework this week as I'm actually going on holiday on thursday to florida, so some of my teachers that assigned essays over the half term have asked me for them before i go away which sucks. Ah well, at least it means less work for me to do over the half term! 

In other news, last week, on wednesday I bought a film camera! My little Canon AE-1. I've had my eye on getting either an A-1 or an AE-1 for quite some time now, so when I saw that my local London Camera Exchange was selling one for £50 along with a 35-70mm lens, I jumped at the chance, caved in and bought it! I'm really happy with it, even though it did take me about 20 minutes and 3 youtube videos for me to figure out how to load film into it. I've snapped quite a few photos but I still haven't finished my first roll of film. I'm thinking of taking it on holiday with me, but I'm still not sure. But yes, not much has gone on with me! I'm now off to try and read Restoration for English class.

PS. i know it's been out for a couple of months now, but have you heard the latest Florence + the Machine album, 'Ceremonials'? I can't stop listening to it, all the songs are absolutely beautiful.

hectic

I apologize for not posting sooner! I've been so busy what with being pelted with an exam, coursework deadlines and a gig, as well as homework for my other subjects! Anyway, the other day I decided that I'd buy John Green's new book, 'The Fault In Our Stars'. I'm a huge fan of 'Looking For Alaska' by him, and I intend to read all the other books that he's written, however this TFiOS came out on the 12th(I believe that's when it was anyway!) and I hadn't got it on pre-order, which was a bit annoying(because all pre-ordered copies were signed), but it's my own fault anyway..YES! So, on Wednesday, I normally go into town after college and I decided that I'd just pop into the book shop to see if they had it there, which they did, which was great, but this is the part where I freaked out in the middle of the shop at my friend...THEY HAD SIGNED COPIES.
So yeah, now I own a signed copy of 'The Fault In Our Stars' and can I just say, although I haven't finished it yet, it's such a great book. I'd love to tell you what it's about, but you know, I'd much rather you'd read it for yourself because it's honestly so fantastic and adsnbajsdk.

On Friday, I went to see Never Shout Never for the second time, on their first headlining tour ever in the UK, and it was great. There were a few little annoying 'weems' in the crowd that were really irritating because they kept pushing my friend and saying stuff about her, which was stupid. But the gig was really fab and it was nice to go and see them again. The thing that topped off the night was the fact that we were running round the back to meet them, but just as we were running to the back, the band came out of the side doors and said something to us, and I nearly had a heart attack, but it was fine. But then they went back inside before we could get pictures, so yeah. Then we waited, and then they came out, but the lead singer went back inside before we could get pictures, but we got pictures with the guitarist and the keyboardist(?) and had conversations with the guitarist for like, 15 minutes.

I realize that thing whole post is a bit jumbled, but I just wanted to update the blog. Next time I'll hopefully have pictures to update with and a proper post lined up!

That's it for now, folks!

Another Day Will Come..

Apologies for not blogging sooner! I haven't really done anything this weekend apart from work and revise for a Sociology AS-level exam I have coming up on Thursday! On Wednesday or Thursday I bought a new camera lens for my 550D! It came earlier today, and I've taken a few test shots(which can be found here) with it. I'm very happy with it, and it's the first lens that I've added to my collection! Well, my collection of one lens(which was the kit lens!).

Also, I'm still not finished with the Nylon Magazine I bought on Wednesday, and I've just found out that there's a new vogue issue out or something like that? If there is, then I must buy it! It looks like a great issue.

Anyway, that's all from me folks!

Side Note: I might start posting moodboards(I think that's the name?) or posting pictures of things I find inspiring as I need to rack up some ideas for my Mock Final Project for Photography!

Explosions in the Sky

No Picture Thursday! :( I feel like I've let the team down, but never mind!

College Teachers annoy me sometimes. They're being paid to teach us, correct? But today when asking about my coursework which contributes to my final grade at the end of this year, I don't get any help. I don't exactly think that's right. I understand that my English Teacher wanted to leave as soon as possible, but surely sticking around for a Student to make sure that they're final draft is correct and ready is what they should be doing? I'm more annoyed about the fact that my teacher didn't ask another teacher if it was alright that I come and see them so they could check over my work once I'd printed it off later that day. I just needed someone to say that it was ok.

Anyway, please excuse the 'rant' above(if you can even call it that). Teachers, eh?

But yes, I've literally done hardly anything that's been productive since I got home. I checked out a few of my favourite blogs, logged on twitter and facebook, and that's about it! I don't know if it's just me, but have you got the sudden flood of statuses and tweets that involve one thing; Celebrity Big Brother. I am not looking forward to the next few weeks when it's on!

Also, last night I bought a new lens for Alan the Canon! I bought the 'Nifty Fifty'(50mm f/1.8) from Amazon for a little over £84(price varies though!). Hopefully I'll have it by Monday, but I can't wait to use it! It'll be so much fun!

Well, that's just a quick update! Have a nice evening!
