PAPER CHASER

Call me childish but the best thing about going back to school, or university, each September is always the new stationary! I'm hunting for the perfect notepad and here are a few of my favourites.


Orla Kiely 
Cross Hatch Stem Print Notebook £15


Heals
Pantone Yellow Notebook £13.50



Paperchase
Burgundy Bonded Leather Notebook £10

Liberty London
Designers I Met and Liked Notebook by Archie Grand £12



And the perfect carrier for the morning dash into a lecture, an American Apparel Leather Pouch, the perfect size for a Notebook, Diary and a few pens.

So many great colours and 3 different sizes.

I'm feeling the Medium Electric Blue option, £46.




ANIMAL MAGIC

A typical lazy Sunday, eating tangerines and too much Cadbury's chocolate while I flick through yesterday's Guardian. The fashion and style pages of The Weekend supplement are always my favourite part and I couldn't agree more with the top article in 'The Measure' this week. 

"Going Up
Animals: Foxes on Smythson stationary. Dogs in the Louis Vuitton campaign. Bird Prints at Jonathon Saunders. Freja Dressed as a cat for Chanel. Who needs a pet?"

..and the list of animal influences just goes on, with House of Holland's Budgy Prints, Topshop Unique's Dalmation spots..which also adorned flat caps at Burberry, dogs on the catwalks of the A/W shows and, my favourite, Mulberry's Autumn Winter Campaign.

The campaign was photographed at Shotover House, in my home county, and features giant owls and foxes as well as hatched eggs and other wild birds. I adore the sense of British heritage created through the campaign.

DIANA

I found this a roll of film from my Diana which i'd lost hope for after letting in some serious light leeks and not winding on the film properly but I actually love the images which came back. A great retro summer vibe in my friends garden a few months ago!
















Will have to try doing a styled shoot and overlaying shots again to recreate this and hunt down the other roll of film I shot on my Diana...which could be ANYWHERE! 

STYLESIGHT

I got my photo taken for Stylesight at Lovebox last weekend, after hunting for it whilst at my internship yesterday I had to pop it up here!







Sunglasses: H&M
Shirt Dress: Vintage
Black Skirt: Topshop
Black Top: Topshop
Necklace: Charity Shop
Boots: Doc Martens

.....


While I was browsing Style Sight I also stumbled across my new favourite web page. Prepare yourselves...Style Sight now have a Tumblr.








The way the colours within the images flow is amazing, check out the archive to see what I mean and prepared to spend at least the next hour 'ERE

FESTIVAL STYLEFILE: GLASTONBURY

So I decided to use festivals as the theme for my summer project, a lookbook, which I have entitled The Festival Style File. I got a few rolls of film back today and here are some of the looks I snapped at Glastonbury, there are a few more to come.



Great Accesorising: Bumbag and Gold Hoops.

Mens Accesories: Bumbag and a great socks and boots look.


...seriously, I am in love with bumbags.


Colour Blocking: Plum shades and texture.


All of these need a good crop and edit but it was certainly time to share them, I can't believe a month has passed since Glastonbury!

BUSYYYY

Sorry, having such a busy week.

Just to you know....

Glastonbury Lookbook photos will be up on Friday

andddddd...

Lovebox and Truck Festival photos will be up on Monday, thank you to everyone who has checked out my page since then! Using film might be cool and produce great snaps but it makes everything take 50times longer than it should!



P.S. Rummage Vintage should start selling via eBay on Friday too!!
