Neon Gray Scale

I hate winter. Im putting that out there with (Im pretty sure) the majority of human/animal/insect race. Unless you are 100% indoors all day with a hot chocolate and a Harry Potter fest,  it can do what it please's outside. But this whole, 'oh I need a 3 jumpers and coat' just to leave the house without getting frost bite is my least favourite situation to be in.

It's the same every year, I pretty much rebel and end up ill. So it's mid September and as far as I am concerned, its more than acceptable to still be wearing a little dress. I have however, given in to the foot prisons and returned my toes to socks and boots.  

So now I must go and invest in a new coat and I am ready to battle the elements.

RiRi Land

What a week it's been, sorry I haven't blogged for a little while but it's been a mental week of being a Intern again! I finally got around to doing a week with the River Island V.M (Visual Merchandiser's) department. My have my legs taken some strain this week. If I haven't toned up my thigh's with the running around I don't know what will! It's been a good week and I'm so grateful that I got the chance when apparently not many intern's are taken on, however it was a little freaky going back to interning after working for such a long period at LSM.

The week coincidentally coincided with the Rihanna Launch, no I didn't get to meet her but yes I did get to work along side the collection and launch night which, what a opportunity. I also couldn't have asked for a nicer team to work with, even though there was a lot of pressure and time restraints, everyone was very welcoming and understanding of my new position. Thank you Park House and the surrounding teams!

But, you guessed it. Me being in a store for 4 days straight inevitably was going to end in me buying something, I would of been rude not to purchase anything from the collection! :D Back to work yesterday meant of course, a outfit post was due! Thanks Mr. Junior Watson for some snaps.

Street Rat

It's my last day in Toulouse before I head home in the morning until I return again in October for some more frolicking in the city. Being my last day we've just mucked around the little alley ways and raced on some of the city hire bikes (harder then you'd think when you haven't rode a bike in years), BUT I didn't fall off so all was fine.

It's a lovely petit city and there is some odd creative shops and gorgeous sweetie shops, which we could not figure out what anything was other than marzipan fruit, but I can't help but love them.

Whilst running around alley way's I got some more street style pictures, nothing amazing but just what I wore. It was so hard for me not to burst into song whilst we yomped down the cobbled street's and unfortunately, I didn't resist.. DO YOU HEARRR THE PEOPLE SINGGGG! SINGING THE SONG OF ANGRY MEN!

The modern P's

I may be away but it's not all play, it's time to start cracking the whip as Summer is nearly over and I still have my project to get under way for my final year at uni (god help me please).

So I'm easing myself back into routine and done another shoot recently. Rather than just uploading the images again,  I fancied playing on InDesign as its been a while, so, here's my take on the modern 50's. (Layout is 8x8 as I'm working in a small sketchbook format)

Bonjour!!

Bonjour from across the pond!!

I type this to you in my boyfriends new home for a year in the South of France! Toulouse, to be exact.

We arrived on Wednesday to settle Fray in for his new adventure at Airbus and it has been a crazayy few days. However, we've got over the worst bit of having no tea for two days and no fridge so onwards and upwards now.

Finally we got chance to have a touristy moment yesterday afternoon and wondered around, with me of course spending a little, not much changes even when I leave the country clearly. Anyway, what better time to do a little outfit post..

Qui?

Dippin' and a-dyin', eBay style

It's always the same, I go on eBay to sell some bits and pieces and I end up watching a zillion things, get out bid on things that were destined to be mine in the last few seconds am then become so frustrated I vow never to be lured in again... 5 minutes later I'm knee deep in another bid war approaching the vital 10seconds remaining mark.

God help me, out of all the destined pieces, I ended up with one thing. One. It's a cruel, cruel game. 

Anyway, I'm not bitter at all, I'm more then happy with my bargain purchase and it's something I've been wanting for a while!  Finally a long maxi organza dress shirt.  I found a seller, names shall not be named, but with several lovely bits that I was determined to snap up.

I finally got this long purple dip dye number just in time for the warming weather again, so as I had a day off work and time to get my nails done and have lunch with the boyfriend I thought what perfect time to wear it for its new foster home! 

Teamed up with my Levi shorts, also a Ebay buy from last year, my trusty Topshop gladiator boots and Topshop Cami. Sunglasses, Ray Ban, Necklace Dorothy Perkins and bag River Island.

Mono-blocks

It's been a while since a little outfit post up here, and I really have not taken full advantage of working in a studio for the past 5 months! So today after work I got the lovely Cassie to snap away for my latest post.

I bought this mono jumpsuit in Topshop the other week and it is SO comfy to wear, it's literally like being in your Pj's all day!

It's current stock at www.topshop.com 

For £38 I think it's a pretty good catch and it also comes in other variations online! Go check it ladies..

I love the back detail with just a single little button to fasten you in, it's not at all restricting just a little irritating to button up with acrylic nails!
