Fashion is one big adventure
Hello world, Today’s ‘Look of the Day’ is a simple two shot shoot done in the back garden while trying to imitate those lovely Elle UK accessories shoots they always do. With the exception of Dubh the dog deciding he wanted to be in all the shots, I really love …
Hello world, Here’s another ‘Look of the Day’ done a couple of weeks back in Ireland while visiting home and Mum. You’ll laugh at me when I tell you I’ve been wanting to do at least one shoot in a graveyard for donkey’s years and I’ve always been put off …
Hello world, The story behind the dress in today’s outfit post is actually quite a nice one. My Mum bought it for me many years ago during one of her trips to London, way before I ever heard of the vintage store Beyond Retro and even longer before I had …
Hello world, It seems a bit depressing to post an outfit shoot when I’m still desperately clinging onto the brilliant weather we’ve had for the last week, but it looks like the rain and wintry weather is coming back, kinda like in these pictures. Yay! Sarcasm aside, these images have …
Hello world, Here is the ‘Look of the Day’ I done out in east London a while back, out among the docklands. The whole area kinda got forgotten about since the eighties when London’s docklands were abandoned and they’re only now trying to do the area up again. It’s very …
Hello world, Here’s a small sneak peak of tomorrow’s ‘Look of the Day’ honouring this great weather we’ve been having in London this week. Twenty-six degrees Celsius? Don’t mind if I do! I will be eating lots of ice-cream and sitting myself down in a nice place in the park …
Hello world,
I’m back with another Look of the Day, in what three months? I’m not quite sure how long it’s been other than it’s been way too long.
This one was shot in east London at North Woolwich pier, hence the name, after a few days I spent exploring this dilapidated and forgotten part of London. Sometimes I just love grabbing my camera and exploring places like the old docklands. There’s a certain rush you get to climbing over barriers and going into restricted areas to see the parts of London you usually wouldn’t see.
As you can see this pier and boathouse is quite neglected and in a way it was quite dangerous to do the shoot there as half the wooden floorboards were rotten through and missing. It was also extra cool that that morning was quite misty, so the City is almost lost in the mist.
The top and trousers are from H&M Trend, as per usual. I really would love to see them do a collection that I don’t end up buying every piece from. I really gotta learn to vary my shops a bit more.
So let me know what you think of these images and I’ll be back in the next couple of days with another post.
Top: H&M Trend
Trousers: H&M Trend
Heels: New Look
Bag: Penneys/Primark
Bracelets: Forever 21 and thrifted

Until then,

Hello world, Oh how I’ve been waiting to wear this dress! I’ve been looking forward to this dress and so this was definitely a fun shoot to do. Unfortunately, it’s still pretty cold in London. Even though it was sunny all morning, I was freezing my ass off, so it’s …
Hello world, Firstly I’m going to apologise for the quality of these photos. My boyfriend came down with a pretty nasty bug the day we shot these and he almost fainted on the street while shooting them in the freezing cold. Hence why some of these photos are a little …
Hello world,
This is a bit of an oddball of a shoot. It was done back in the west of Ireland while visiting my mum and the idea came upon me while scouring through all the old sheds and outhouses that probably hadn’t been touched for years before Mum moved in.
Anyone who knows a little about the Irish knows it’s not that odd to find old religious paintings in the shed, but the amount found here surprised even me. The previous owners looked like they had developed a bit of a collection.
What really struck me when I saw them was how traditionally Irish the entire setting was and how beautiful in it’s own way it was too; the ivy creeping into the shed through the old broken windows, the dresser and half-decayed paintings and the wild Connemara wilderness right outside our door.
So maybe this theme is a little overt, but it’s kinda soothing too and I got a chance to show off my polka dot skirt from my recent find here. The only thing is that the lighting couldn’t show off the brightness of the skirt, bit you win some you lose some.
Let me know what you think.
