College Friend Reunion!

Last night I went to a party with all my old friends from college! It was really great, and I really liked the picture I took of my friend Jackie, who always has stunning hair!!

(P.s. the everyday thing has beaten me, so now its going to be upload as and when, until I reach 365 ;) but I will try my best to make that more than once a week!!!)

Red Ivy

Okay this is the last of the Bath Buildings for this week, I promise haha. (I think I'm getting a bit obsessed!)

I have always loved buildings covered in ivy, but I'm not sure I'd like it on my own house, imagine all the bugs and birds living in there!!

Bath Hotel

This is one of my favourite buildings there. This hotel was build with three different roof styles, to show the three levels of quality of stay. The left hand side is a 'Mansion' (top) the middle shows a manor house (good) and the left shows a cottage (average).

'Urban air pollution from coal smoke blackened the surfaces at the beginning of the
century and by its end they appeared to be discoloured by diesel soot.'
(Peter Brimblecombe, Carlota M. Grossi)

But I think it looks rather attractive, in a gothic, 19th century kind of way. I really love Bath, very happy to be doing my work experience there this week, despite the soul-destroying bus journey.

Scampi

My dog finally stopped running around and posed nicely for the camera :P

Bedroom View

yeahhh...this didnt come out as nicely as I'd planned, but the car driving down was a surprize i managed to catch!

Inspired by Cherryhumbug

Today I was inspired by Cherryhumbug.net, Katie is heavily into fashion, and posts regular updates of new outfits she has bought, capturing herself beautifully.

I am not half as photogenic, but I felt that I wanted to share what will most likely be my outdoors winter look, including of course, my favourite husky hood.

My Room

I know.....I'm awfully sorry not to post yesterday, I am very dissapointed with myself. But you know, Id had a long day at work, it was freezing, all I wanted to do was snuggle up in bed and sleep. Plus the wind was scary and it was dark and me and my brother were home alone...

Excuses over, Today I was determined not to be beaten. I opened my 'creative block' and it fell upon this page...




What is more cluttered than my room? Nothing! Therefore, I thought I'd attempt to do a 360degree shot, as it is now finally finished. Hope you like it!

Heal The World Shirt

My New Michael Jackson shirt came today in the post, so I decided (as it was XL) to cut it up a bit so it didnt look like a nightie!! I rolled up the sleeves and sewed them in place, which I also did like this on my last MJ shirt. And I then cut a good few inches off the bottom too.

Olivia

After editing all 84 pictures, I think this is one of my favourite finished images. (Today is very dank, and I've been busy at work experience, apologise for lack of photo from today, but I DID take over 400 yesterday so I guess it works out fair ;) )

Laurens Boutique

So tonight my best friend Lauren asked me to take some pictures of the clothes shes been producing for a shop she is planning to have up and running soon. She really had some fantastic outfits, however my favourite shots were these two, a simple Armani slouch jumper, modelled by her stunning little sister Eliza.




And beautiful model - Olivia, wearing a hand-embellished jacket.

Balloon in the sky

So I was in the garden taking pics of some flowers, when I heard a sound that could only be recognised as a hot air balloon releasing hot air!!! I ran to the top of the house and caught it in the sky (those things move fast!!!)

Spider

We've had loads of these spiders in the house recently, but this one got caught in the sink, poor thing.
