First day back at University

I have to say being back was a bit odd, mainly feeding yourself and not being in your own room. But at the same time it feels like we've never left.

At about 10 I went with a friend to she a student house with her then at 2pm off to have my uni crit for our easter work.

I think I'm probably worried that the teachers will read my blogs. (how scary!)

For the evening as it was my good uni friend's birthday last week we went to slug and lettuce for a meal. I think there was about 10 of us from our course there. Lovely time as great to catch up after easter.

Sorry about the room, as I said..first day back...

Anyway back to what I was wearing, as again..weather?? does not make up its mind! (Also excuse the terrible photo but when your on your own..this thing just can't happen) So I went for these amazing jeans called Huao, which again I've never heard of, I think its another second hand shop find.

My H&M women face tee, and again with the cardi (I wear this too much)

I wore my lovely orange ring which goes perfectly with my nail polish. Others noticed, but honestly it was not planned!

Elle Fanning: Rodarte's Film

http://www.nowness.com/day/2011/2/8/1302/elle-fanning-rodartes-muse

I found this short film in last months Tatler and thought to check it out. 

After watching the film I found it so extraordinary, a completely different take on fashion creating a new further for fashion. It felt like a beginning to actual movie on the big screen. 

Elle Fanning was cast as the lead role for this, and I think was perfect, it is hard to think that she is only 12/13 years old when it was made. 

I love how you can see that clothes change while she moves from one room to another, showing their beautiful collection.

Christina Hendricks for Vivienne Westwood

Here is Vivienne Westwood's jewellery line which I find really beautiful and its great that she has used Christina perfect for the advertising. A great icon and a stunning woman. 

The last full day of the Easter holiday

So....today consisted of doing the finishing touches to my university work, and of course 'trying' to pack for university which is not going well.

It seems very much an effort to get started as typical me I do not pack lightly so coming back to university expect about....5 cars to help!! 

My wear today consists of a silk scarf top by Liberty. The top has a raw edge around the bottom, which makes it look handmade.
I love how simply it is made and inspires me to make many for the festival with lots of beautiful scarves in all colours!
I pared it with some short short and tights..i never thought i'd be wearing them again but it was not warm today.    

Home Alone..part 2

I was planning a no make-up day today but failed as I woke up (which was extremely late) to find a strange man is our garden only to realise that it was our gardener. It just shows that my parents tell me everything.

After my scare of the day that I was not alone, work continued all day.

Even though it was not exactly beautiful outside it was quite muggy and as I was inside all day. So I placed an amazing T-shirt on moi by Vivienne Westwood. Its a special Marmite top with the union jack on it. It is really crazy tee but i love it as I do love marmite so!!

My shorts are from Whistles another great buy as they are baggy and have that slouchy feel, with large pockets too (a bonus!)

...and the hair...don't ask.... 

Voting day!!

Mother had a stressful day with sorting out her stock for the Shepton Mallet antique fair which goes on all weekend: 

http://www.iacf.co.uk/shepton-mallet/ 

It is held at the same place as the flea market at the Bath & West show ground.

It is one of there largest events as it covers four buildings instead of one.

As for me continuing with work and of course helping the stressful mother of mine.
But also not forgetting the voting day, and my first ever time in doing so! Have to admit was quite excited! Even though the voting place was not in a crowed village but a pretty one at that!

I took on the more casual look today as was at home and I thought the dogs looked fat so took them for a walk!
moving back to what I wore. The large jumper was going to be given to my father from my mother but me and mother thought he has enough jumpers so  that was the end of that story. :D
My necklace is from a good friend of mine as a little reminder of our time at last years festival. It is a little wellington boot with a pearl (very country)
The shoes remind me of pixi shoes full of sparkle with blues and greens.

A day out for lunch

As a lovely treat my parents took me to my favourite little cafe/restaurant near Ilchester. But its no ordinary cafe as its in in a old railway carriage. It is most sweet, and the food is vegetarian and is so delicious! All homemade containing quiches, salads, tarts and cakes. I had this fennel crumble which was divine! At the front they have an organic shop full of amazing foods, and homegrown veg.
(I always seem to be taking about food a lot in all my blogs!)

Anyway down to what I wore was another one of my favourite blazers, a Rena Lange. (not sure on the brand, might have to look up) I think I found it at a second hand clothes shop down in Devon.
The jeans are gap as on Tuesday, and my wedges are Kanna (probably another second hand shop find!)      

..and for yoga...

I have not been for a while and felt quite bad so thought I'd go.
I know its not the most professional yoga gear, but I just wanted to be comfy..mainly for the relaxation part!!
My crop bottoms are Casall from the sale. They are a great brand for sports wear that is not chav central! My purple top is from Topshop with a simple black wrap around, as the little village hall can get cold at times.
For my shoes they are those strange fitflops that are suppose to tone you up..not sure if it works but we'll see..

A good pal over for tea

Today was going to be a home alone day but as a last minute turn around I thought I'll have a old friend round. As I've been very bad not seeing her at all since Christmas, you I think I owe her.
So as you can see I was going to be staying at home all day just chilling with my good pal, taking my small rat size dogs out for a stroll in a random field.
The weather has been a bit odd (traditional british weather) so I choice my boot cut gap jeans. I normally go for skinny's but I like the comfy fit on these. Also I rolled them up a bit.
My tee is a vintage number from Glastonbury and the brand is people tree/fair trade. I think its a perfect for the festival!

Milverton Street Fair!

The fair today happens once a year on a bank holiday and we have always gone to the lovely event. A distant relation of my father's and moi of course lives there and sells interiors at the fair.

As today was rather cold so I thought of my lovely Victoria Beckham corduroy trousers. The 99p T-shirt (yes 99p!) was from the charity shop Barnardos on the Saturday out in Taunton. It has a bow/ribbon shape around the next line, and I like the fact it does not have the childish neckline. The Jacket was mothers (borrowed) and is a Paul Costelloe Dressage jacket. It is a simple/stylish number that seems to help when in need. My shoes you have seen before called fashion (yes really) are full of beads, but unfortunately the main ones fell off so trying to find flat circle shaped gems is not easy.

A lovely stall run by a lovely hippy couple of which parents are friends with. Ad you can probably see they have a selection of Glastonbury style clothes..so as you can guess me and mother bought more for the festival!


Don't worry I did not wake up with blue paint on my face at the end of the day I got the art work done. I was probably the only 18 year getting one (I feel so old!) but anyway who cares its only a bit of fun, and cost me £1.50. I think during the festival I'll be getting a lot of these done.

  

Frock exchange!

When walking around Taunton with my good friend I spotted this advert outside the charity shop. 

It does look like fun, except the last frock exchange I went to was not very well planned as me and mother were bringing in good clothes (designer names) and then others brought clothes that seemed to have belonged in their wardrobe all there life or worn to death. So lucky day for them but not for us.

Hopefully this one will be better! As its a great way to get some fresh (well) clothes into your wardrobe!

The marvellous showstudio.com

http://showstudio.com/

A website of which I always seem to go, with its amazing visuals and films.

I love the films by Nick Knight, and used them previously for my college film project last year.

http://showstudio.com/project/fringed/

This one film was created in 2009 and used it as inspiration for my film project. It is fairly simple in terms of graphics but I love the use of light and movement within the model dancing. Showing off the garments in movement.
