Far Far Away

MAH.
Hello there! Hope all is well with you.
I've been away most of this half term, i was in London (Haringey, Green Lanes to be exact) for four days visiting my good friend/sister/brother's ex girlfriend Ewa and my nephew cat Boris.
We did tonnes of walking (unfortunately, not so much buying), accidentally slept in late everyday despite planning to wake up early and get the most out of London and it's sights and the weather was dull.

But despite this, we still had lots of fun! 
I'd been needing to get to the Saatchi Gallery, the head of year on my course had been emphasizing that everyone should try and visit it whenever in London. So we had a good old gander.
I'll include some photos from my visit there shortly!
Besides the Saatchi Gallery (which i by the way found to be quite inspirational in areas), we took a trip down to The West End, and eventually Camden the following day.
Had planned to go the same day, but the city was crazy busy, so exhausting.
People, EVERYWHERE!

I didn't buy much down in London, i found that visiting such a vast amount of shops with a limited supply of £30, (which went up to £50 after a family friend was kind enough to give me a gift of £20, thank you Rae!) - was bloody difficult!
I didn't want to buy anything from just say, Topshop - (in which i barely can afford to buy stuff full price, out of sale) for the sole fact of burning money in my pocket. -I knew i'd regret it otherwise!
So instead i clung onto my money, and ended up buying this little beauty:

H+M, £3.99

My little owl find, it was a lucky discovery, found him hidden behind some adorable deer/fox/owl combo rings.
He was the last of his kind. I keep wanting to wear it non-stop, but i'm scared i'll tarnish it as i have with my other rings.Ugh, excuse my nasty looking skin, and panda eyes. Taken just before a face wipe, then bedtime.


Another two buys were from my beloved Camden Town, in the stalls. Oh i love it!
Damn my lack of money. I would have bought more!
My favorite buy has to be this though:



 Mustardness!
I love my mustard hat, £8! Currently I'm going through this phase of loving the colour-it's perfect.
Whilst in the West End i purchased a rather cute knit dress in a slightly darker mustard tone too. Need a bit of warmth to make up for the hair missing from my shaved patch. It's chilly without it! 
Whatever mustard next, i shall see.

I'm not photogenic.

I realise this has to be my longest post, my apologies, no doubt you're bored by now.
It's just i go so long without blogging, i have so much to show by the time i eventually do!

Finally, besides some lush H+M bedding i bought (and will have to include a picture of later), was this adorable card by the wonderful Rob Ryan whilst visiting the Saatchi Gallery. Only recently i was introduced to his amazing/envious work, so i totally had to buy this. It had me aawing.
I bought it specially to frame for my room:

Lovely! 
What have you been buying recently, and get up to anything exciting this half term?

Fill-A-Book Project - Finished

Hello all. Been meaning to upload these for a while, it's just finding the time to do it! I might have to spread the mass of photos over a couple of blogs, got crazy amounts of photos to upload!
I'll try and make sure they're in order!

Consideration, Photographic Thursdays?

Due to my lack of posting, simply because i'm always totally unsure of what to inform the world about, i figured i'd maybe do a weekly update of photographs taken during my week -  photographic journal/insight into my life. 
Thoughts? 














Recently been photographing a lot in black and white, this may only last a little while, before i get bored and switch back to color. But i do love B&W, i feel it captures everything 10x better! 
Also hope i didn't upload too too many pics!

Hope all is well with you!

Dock

I love coming down to the docks with a camera and my mum at the right time of day.
Just as the suns starting to dim and the clouds are fluffy and pink.
Beautiful.
The photo above was taken last summer, old i know - although i did get some newer shots today was my Canon, which came out pretty nice.
I'll have to upload them later. Along with millions of photos of my finished Fill-A-Book project books.
Chow, x

Oh Hell No!

Long time no update! A fair amount has occurred since my absence from Blogging. Some good, some bad. 
Happy new year all by the way, I'm like a month late, my apologies. 
I have to be the worst blogger in the world! 
A brief note on today:
Had a nice day, the sun was shining, saw a good friend, made a plan for Friday with a newer friend, college was decent, went to the cinema with my mum (roughly 3 years since we last went together) and it now feels ruined by a certain comment a certain hypocritical someone made.
I shouldn't let it bother me, after all, I'm not being the two-faced one. Maybe i ought to listen to my newly beloved The Mars Volta, they are AMAZING!
*Fan girl scream*
I've included one of my favorite songs below, please listen. 
They are just gorgeous.

 

Even better news, for those unaware, as duh, i didn't tell the world - I've finally got my long-wanted love, a Canon 400D SLR camera, woo!
It's awesome, i'm eying it up now.

I'm still learning the ropes, i want to create some amazing photos - it's just knowing what to shoot, what setting etc.
Below are a few shots of what's been taken with it so far:





Just random shots from daily things in my life.
I end with -  take care all, and sorry if it takes me a couple more months to find the effort to 
blog.
Love! 



LOVES
