Life is a Beach





Went to the beach On Monday to shoot for our magazine! Was such a fun day, even the sun came out for a bit which is pretty rare in this neck of the woods. The themes were pastel and print, we each styled a few outfits for these themes. I really like the crop top and high waisted shorts togther, they seem to finish at just teh right points. Also into mixing pastel colours, they seem to be easier to mix and match than bright colours.

Outfit of the Week

This is my outfit of the week, illustrated by me. I have posted the photo here on my tumblr. The trousers are from H&M and are the biggest bargain ever at £12.99! I have used watercolours, fine liner pens, pencil and metallic pen to create this illustration.

Hitting the Nail on the Head

So, not the most original of posts, but I have just had the first of many full day Tuesdays! Moving the random regular post to Wednesday now, much more convenient as I am finished and home by 1! This is a roundup of my favourite recent nail art looks. Nail art is something that I quite often do as I seem to have the Patience, and I find it brightens up my typically neutral coloured clothing choices. Although this is a bit lazy (using old images of my nails) it is pretty relevant, as yesterday we held the beauty photo shoots for our uni magazine project. The nails went particularly well, and the candy coloured multi patterned nails were a trial I did for this. Once I get my hands on the images from Yesterday I will post them on my tumblr. Will churn out another, more involved post tomorrow, possibly about how I am wearing (or attempting to wear) the trends right now.

My Week in Style

My week in style video for this week! I have had a very busy week, as I had a mammoth hand in on Friday, I think half my class didn't sleep for a good few days beforehand. I am very happy with the finished product though, everything came together nicely in the photo shoot. My outfits this week have featured a lot more colour and lightness than usual, mainly due to the fact that it has been lovely weather all week which automatically make me feel that its acceptable to be wearing spring trends! The trends I am liking the most at the moment are pastels and sporty shapes, I haven't been wearing a lot of sporty clothes this week but will try and include more of these in my outfits for next week. A trend I really like but haven't yet figured out how to wear and still feel like 'me' is clashing prints. I am thinking monochrome prints will be the most similar to my usual style, so hopefully will incorporate some of that into a look!

Outfit of the Week

This is my outfit of the week, as illustrated by me. Each Friday I am hoping to pick my favourite ensemble I have worn Monday to Friday and create artwork for it. This outfit was a pearly collared shirt (featured here), beige scarf, black pleated skirt, hair bow and beige and black leather jacket. This outfit and every other one I have worn this week will be available to see in my video roundup for this week on Sunday!

The Long and Short of it


Short trousers are always nice for spring/summer, they are comfier and more breathable than full length and give off an air of being at the beach in the rock pools, rolling up your hems to escape the water. This season seems to have embraced this small detail with gusto, as one of the prevailing details I noticed at Somerset house and whilst interning at Vauxhall Fashion Scout was the ankle. All hems seemed to be turned up, socks played a large part in dressing shoes, boots offered cut outs and people braved the weather to get their ankles out.
