It’s a REDROCK Summer

Redrock fashion have really excelled themselves this summer with all the cute girly summer dresses… bright colours and prints will work nicely with golden sun kissed tans. I did a shoot for them just before June and here are some of the adorable pieces. Its so frustrating sometimes because everything they want me to model- I WANT TO KEEP!

And I'm off to the races Cases of Bacardi chasers Chasin' me all over town

This June was my beautiful friend’s 21st Birthday shin dig at The York Races. I had never actually had the chance to go to this event before, so when I found out this was what we were doing I was quite the excited girl!

First things first, I wanted to wear a big floppy hat that resembled Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s- You know the one! So I was delighted to find a hat in Zara when I decided to get my arse down there to stock up on some Spring/Summer clothes. I really feel this season Zara have got it down to a T for summer party dresses! I also bought a gorgeous white skater dress where the whole back panel was lace, matched up with the top half at the front- very girly! My hat was black so I thought knowing English weather IT WILL, dare I say it, RAIN! I was right. Luckily I paired my ensemble up with a black tailored Zara Jacket (pretty standard thing for me to do) and some high- black paintent Kurt Geiger’s along with my Reiss Clutch and Moschino belt.

Although it rained the day was bloody fantastic! Pimms, Champagne, carvery and a spot of betting was what the day consisted of- and the very loud screaming, squealing and chanting on our behalf when winning races- yes we are very well behaved ladies!

Doesn't Time Fly...

Sorry for the lack of blogging, I have been a very busy little bee! This June has been absolute madness, I was lucky enough to work for an amazing brand (more on that later) for a whole month and to live with one of my best friends in London. All that experience crammed into a short month has made me realise I am ready for the next step, when I finish my course next year, to get my arse down in London!

Just before June I found out I passed my second year at university with flying colours with A grades- well aren't I the geek! This gave me the extra spring in my step to run faster to my internship with excitement.

Just a few pieces of imagery from my Uni work below.

I’m totally excited about July as I have some exciting things happening- my birthday for one! Will keep you posted.

Approaching the End

Just a quick blog post. Today me and my housemate are just adding the finishing touches to our uni work that is going to be handed in on Monday- coffee, no sleep, wine and carbs are the only things that are getting me through this at the moment. Can’t wait to get back to the gym! Here are the photos we took in our hideous cellar for my final two outfits for this module. Hope you like them.

You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop

So stressed with uni work at the moment- just one more intense week until my main module is due in - ew!

I helped out my housemate Rosie with her fashion/textile portfolio work the other day. Rosie’s live project in industry was to design a wellie print. As the genius she is, as no one came up with this idea in her class, was to put together a lookbook. The theme for the lookbook was a music festival- so as the kind, amazing friend I am- of course, I raided my wardrobe and stood in the cold for her. The main idea was to Photoshop the prints onto the wellies after.

Pure dedication to my friend as 1. It was freeeeezing, 2. The field (known as “the racecourse”) had about 6 football matches on at the same time- embarrassing and 3. You can find some odd things in that grass, which I happily rolled around in!

Here are some cheeky snaps from the shoot.

I’m in love with this chiffon shirt from Topshop which has a cute cut out on the back- but you can’t see sadly in the photos…

Shorts- vintage, belt- vintage, headband- Topshop, Tights- Marks & Spencer, Wellies- Hunter, Leotard- American Apparel

This festival theme has really made me want to go to one this summer- then again I am going to Thailand (*cough* brag much)- suppose you can’t do it all!
