A night out in glamour town.

 

 

 
 

I rarely wear these Topshop silk harems, but they're amazing and i love them, i just never know what to wear them with! For this i decided to make them the statement of the look and so just wore a black vest tucked in with a gold buckled belt to add a bit of glam. Paired with these gorgeous Asos heels which have the cutest lace covering they make the outfit a little more evening suitable. Worn when going out to dinner with a few friends to celebrate the end of this weeks exams. I just throw on my oversized blazer and a few gold bangles to make the outfit fit for purpose. Was a lovely evening, but i've still got 3 exams next week!

The most spontaneous afternoons are the best ones.

So, i've finally finished my History AS exams, wahooo! After i finished a friend and i went back to mine and ended up sitting in the garden, sunnies, smiles, salad and smoothies while listening to a bit of Buble. The whole summery atmosphere got me craving for July and, while in a summery mood i decided to show you a few key pieces i'm planning on getting for my summer wardrobe 2011! 

Anyone jetting off to somewhere nice this year?

Contrast.

 

 
 

Hola!
So, this outfit was put together fairly quickly, decided to go with more of an evening feel again. I paired the tailored shorts with the black fluffy waistcoat as i think the contrast of the texture and tailoring makes this outfit. Adding a thin black belt, brogues and a shell necklace just pulled the outfit together. But to top it off i decided to go with a dark red lipstick just to give the outfit that edgy look im loving recently.

Oversized blazer, my love for you is crazaaay.

Sorry about the lack of posts recently, am in the middle of thousands of exams but i still promise to be better!

So, after completing both my history and geography AS exams today (a double whammy of exams is NOT COOL) i decided to just come home and watch Glee, and after several chocolate biscuits and a cuppa i was all inspired. As a distraction from exams and the feeling of desire to treat myself after much revision the day before i decided to try on millions of outfits. However now my wardrobe is a floordrobe which isn't so great, but oh well!

For this outfit i went for a sophisticated-evening-ish feel. The bare legs covered by long grey knee-high socks is perfs for the weather right now, which isn't so great here in London! The high waist pink skirt is the only bit of colour and teamed with a pallete of greys and blacks it gives it emphaise and is also drawn in to create a waist using a thin black belt with silver buckle detailing. i added an oversized blazer as, if you didn't know already, im in LOVE with oversized knits and any form of jacket. Topped with accessories, a clutch given to me as a gift; i love the studding on the front and the oversized opening, it makes it such a statement bag and also adds a edgy feel to the outfit. I also wore it with a silver bracelet i found in a small store when in New York, although its tarnished a bit i actually think i like it more that way, gives it more of a glam-rock feel ya know?

Animation.

So, i do AS art and my exam is on wednesday (uh oh!) ive literally spent half my week on the mac editing and drawing my animation that im including with my final - its taken for ever.

BUT IVE FINALLY FINISHED IT!

It was so fun to get to try out animation as i've never tried it out before.

So, my art theme is Mystery and Imagination so i decided to first look at Greek Mythology and then developed that into looking at the Christian Creation Story.

Im really opposed to animal testing and how humans think they are superior to animals, so i decided to give animals a voice and used role reversal so that the animals were made more superior than humans. This occurred by making Adam and Eve bribe the Serpent with an apple, however the Serpent refuses and it turns out Adam and Eve were trying to capture it. The animation ends with Adam revealing he is actually a Centaur, this is because Centaurs in Greek Mythology symbolise the evil side of nature and are usually portrayed as drunken beings. Hope you like it!
