HERE COMES THE SUN

This morning I was listening to the radio when the exquisitely beautiful 'Here Comes The Sun'

by The Beatles came on. Yet despite how much I love The Beatles, I had never heard the song 

before and was taken away at how wonderful it is. It's gentle, it's soothing, it's beautiful in every 

sense and truly is the perfect accompaniment to a gorgeous sun filled day which I'm sure is

exactly what John, Paul, Ringo & George intended.  

So to celebrate such a wonderful song, and the lovely weather we've been having, here is

that very song and some other sun related songs, and some pretty, sun filled photos to 

accompany it.

WALKING ON SUNSHINE // KATRINA & THE WAVES

CALIFORNIA SUN // THE RAMONES

WALK IN THE SUN //  MCFLY

BEAUTIFUL DAYS

Although today has not been the best day of my life, as it included
getting drenched waiting for the college bus in the rain as it was super mega late,
doing a Biology test and messing up my Biology practical exam because
I am scientifically impaired,  it also involved singing along to the radio
 in my best friend's car after we decided to use another mode of transport,
drying our hair under the hand dryer in the college toilets and the sun has
finally come out.

So right now, if I look out the window, all I can see are gorgeous
bright blue skies, lush green plants in my garden and a big beaming sunshine.
Top that off with the nutella pancakes I had for lunch and what seemed to be
a bad day has now done a u turn, and it is so very beautiful :)

So to celebrate that, I found these photos of beautiful days for you to enjoy
and I made them super large and everything, because you know, it's a good day and
all that.

COATS FLOAT MY BOAT

Do you like my title? (Forever trying to be cool).

Now I know what you're thinking, 'why on earth is she doing a post

about coats when it is very nearly Spring?' and yes, I agree with you,  but

the thing is, I'm English. And this is important for three things:

1) Burberry and Barbour et al all come from here. Loving coats and everything

is practically in our blood.

2) Our signature style normally involves some fancy, smart tailored coat

of sorts (think Sherlock)

3) The majority of the year it is either rainy, windy , cold or grey, for instance today it

began nice and sunny and warm and within the space of four hours it has turned cloudy,

so from about September to April WE NEED A COAT.

And lastly, I am a great believer in the magic of a good coat.

It's incredible how the addition of a tailored, good fitting, neutral coloured,

nicely cut coat can completely transform an outfit.

I can wear sports gear (not that I own any), put a said coat on top

and voila, I somehow look ten times more fashionable and stylish than

I did a minute ago.

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVOURITES.... 

  

   

   

   

    

  

  

  

BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY

Here are some black and white photographs,

one of my favourite types of photography... :)

     

   

A few years ago I used to adore photography

and I would literally photograph things all the time.

I had a digital camera, a Canon film camera, a

Holga camera and I loved nothing more than taking

photos and editing them.

I still love how photography gives you the power

to show life from the perspective you choose.

You can make it beautiful, dreamy, real, honest.

I still love pouring over photographs in magazines,

on tumblr, my own photographs from years ago.

I just wish I hadn't stopped.

And the other day I went for a walk and I just

could not stop taking photos on my Ipod camera.

I was frustrated at how they didn't do the sights

I was seeing justice, but it reminded me of that

wonderful feeling you get when you take a good photo.

And it's addictive, and my urge to photograph has

been ignited, so now I'm looking for a new camera, or

perhaps I'll use my dad's old camera, and I'm going

to begin viewing the world through the lens all over again.
