I was privileged enough this holiday to help out a fellow blogger, Girl in Menswear, on her new post. As you probably know, I’ve never been a fashion geek, but this blog really does interest me and I was asked to take photos of her in Bushy Park, Teddington, as she exhibited her new look! I jumped at the opportunity, pulled out my trusty Nikon D5000 and off we went. Continue reading “Photo Shoot Take 1”

Philips have created something amazing… Amazing enough to drag me away from revision. Yes, it is a flat lightbulb. What is so great about this? Let me enlighten you.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Just to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope your day is full of pleasant surprises! After making it through all the wrapping paper with my own family, Christmas lunch is being cooked and my sister and I are in charge of laying the table. As two ridiculously festive people we knew that it couldn’t just be a couple of knives and forks so I thought I’d share with you all my main job. Making napkins look good and festive. Quick thank you to BuzzFeed for making me aware of the awesomeness of napkin folding! Check out what I managed to create and click here to see where I got the ideas from.

Mind Blowing Fashion
My fashion frenzied sister and I headed down to Somerset House in London to witness the spectacular exhibition, Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore! Now, Fashion isn’t really my cup of tea and fighting through the blustery winds seemed like a lot of effort to see a few garments, but I was pleasantly surprised.

The 1900s Viennese Stroke
Rumor had it there was an exhibition up in London on Viennese artists including my two favourites: Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. So this morning I left my house more excited than a child on christmas eve! My art buddy and myself trekked up to London fighting through the crowds till we finally arrived at Trafalgar square. As per usual, the myriad of sounds and sights in this famous square took me by surprise as the bagpipes mingled with the b-boys’ beats and the grand piano accompanied the unicycling street performer.

Staircase Melodies
How many of you avoid taking the steps everyday when there is an escalator about? I know I definitely am a culprit due to my utter laziness, but this is really something that we all need to change.
The Fun Theory, an initiative by Volkswagen, tried to come up with a way of getting more people to use the stairs by adding a pinch of fun to it! Continue reading “Staircase Melodies”
The Big Knit
I’ve always been described as having child-like qualities. Whether this is because of my height or the fact that I can’t stop moving around I’m not quite sure. I like to play around with things which is why my favourite use of branding and packaging BY FAR goes to: innocent! It relates to both the young and the old and instills that playful quality in everyone! Continue reading “The Big Knit”
