OOTD #27

I recently jumped on the sleeveless blazer bandwagon after initially being really against them. I picked up this little white one from Cameo Rose - a label stocked in New Look. Most of the white sleeveless jackets I've seen retail for about £30 - £40. This however, only cost £19.99, plus I was able to get student discount on it too so I ended up getting a really good deal on it! I wasn't 100% sure how I'd find styling the blazer as I have nothing in my wardrobe remotely like this, however I've been wearing it a lot recently and find styling it very easy. It smartens up the simplest of outfits, just like this one which consists of a really basic black dress and some sandals!

Hello Readers,

As we're well into Autumn now, I've been looking around trying to find some new pieces to add to my wardrobe. I spotted these lovely items all on the New Look website and felt like sharing them with you. This outfit is really simple yet effective, the geometric print skirt definitely adds a 60's vibe to it. I've had my eye on the oversized boyfriend style blazer for a while now and I might just have to take the plunge and buy it as I really love it!

That's all for this post. I hope you're all well!

Paige.



My Photography.

Hello Readers!

Now today's post is a bit of a different one to what has previously been posted on here. It's a photography post but I guess you could say it's still a beauty and fashion related post. I thought it was about time I began incorporating my photography into my blog as it's a big part of my life. I'm currently at college doing a BTEC in Photography and I'm coming up to the end of my final project there. My final project is completely self directed, and I've really enjoyed having the freedom to do whatever I want. My project is called "Fashion and Beauty: An Editorial Collection".

This project involved me studying current fashion and beauty trends for Spring / Summer 2013. I've spent so much time researching magazines, online blogs, YouTube videos and just looking at the high street stores in general to help expand my knowledge of the current Spring / Summer trends.

I ended up doing a shortlist of the trends that I wanted to capture for my project which were as follows:

-Monochrome
-Neon
-60's
-Floral
-Pastels

-Ladylike / Debutante

It's been a long process and it's certainly not been without it's difficulties, but I'm proud of what I've managed to achieve so far! I'm currently preparing myself for the big gallery night which my college holds every year. This year, I have the chance to showcase my work in this gallery and I can't wait to see the finished result! It's going to be so amazing seeing my work printed in such a massive size and on show to hundreds of local people. I'm so excited yet scared at the same time!

So I thought I'd share with you, the readers of my blog, some of my images which I have taken for my assignment.

 

 

 



 

Well that's all I'm going to share for now! I'll take some pictures of the final show when I've got all my prints mounted. I can't wait to share the results with you guys!

Let me know what you think of my work! I'd love to hear some feedback.
