Nails, nails!

I've always had an extensive collection of nail polishes but I've recently been buying cheaper versions of brand names and they work pretty well! This has to be my favourite one, its a clear glitter polish but goes over any colour, at the moment I'm wearing it over a dark navy but I've put it on top of pink, black and red, it looks good so i need to start trying it with more colours!

Christmas holidays

We all know the Christmas holidays were a while ago now, I had so much work to complete before my deadlines there wasn't time to do much else! My days honestly consisted of going to work, doing uni work then sleep!

So a while back I posted about what I wanted to wear for my works Christmas party. I decided to take the black skirt back it made me look really frumpy wasn't comfortable at all, so I decided to go into Manchester and have a little nose to see what else I would come across. I looked in a few shops then noticed that H&M had a sale on and i found a long black maxi dress and thought it would be perfect! For £10 it was a steal as the RRP was £34.99!!

I teamed this dress with a gold belt, a long gold ring and a small gold cross necklace and it all worked well together!

Me on the right, the shoes were also £10 from New Look, must have been my lucky day really!

So whilst continuing with my uni work I have decided i really do enjoy styling and photography, i look forward to doping the shoots, sourcing the garments and picking my models. I created a visual diary for my styling and image generation so here's a sneak peak at some of the photographs i chose to put in it.

I have a growing obsession with charity shopping, it seems to be an addiction but to be quite honest, i love it! Some of the items you get are amazing for the price you pay! Many of the things i get people compliment me on and are quite surprised when i say they are from charity shops!

This is one of my tops, i also have it in gold from the same charity shop, they were bought at different times but i couldn't believe how lucky i was to find them both in there! They were only £2.99 each so such a steal!

So recently.....

Its not that I've been dishonest, its just that I loathe reality.

Preparing for my next styling project, I've gained inspiration from everywhere at the moment! Mainly since I bought the Gaga x Terry Richardson book, it's pretty amazing! I'm looking for the unplanned shots really, they seem to be the most interesting as there's no falseness about them. Therefore making the images more intriguing and you want to know more about the model and the subject of the shoot.

So here are two images taken from the Gaga x Terry book..

Here's one of my photos...

Starting to plan what I'm going to wear for my works Christmas party in 2 weeks time! Yes I know its a while yet, but I can't leave it or ill end up with nothing to wear!!

Decided on this gold top, from a charity shop only cost me £2 its about 3 sizes too big but I can just tuck it into a skirt. Thinking of teaming it with a black skirt from New Look, its a sheer material so I'm hoping it wont look too heavy when i try it all on.

I've had lots of work.

Uni deadlines = lack of updates!


So its now time for my second styling brief, it's about you, so something that relates to me and how I can express that. So i've decided to relate it to my love for Lady Gaga, the way shes forever changing and seems to hide herself behind a mass of different hats and sunglasses, a sort of disguise?

I've chosen a black top hat so far, then maybe i 'll attach hair all the way round it, but in blonde and brown, see how it goes really, hopefuly it'll go quite well! Not forgetting the forever changing wigs!

With my first deadline done, well that was last week! It was the first part of my styling module which went really well, so here's two photos from my shoot.

What an excellent find

Think im slowly but surely falling in love with the vintage shops in Manchester. I found this shirt for £3, yes £3. Im totally in love with it! Still trying to figure out what it looks best with, but as its just plain white with some lace detailing I guess the world is my oyster, so to speak.
