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.

THE CREATIVE HUB AKA. MY BEDROOM

My bedroom is a complete and utter creative catastrophe in the best way

possible. It's literally my source of inspiration because it's so jam packed full of

pictures, photos, colours, textures, quotes et al. I can spend hours just looking

at every little last detail, and I just thought I'd share it with you too :)

An image of a boat in some tranquil location provides a source of escapism

from Derby, which is a bit like comparing me with Beyonce aka. nowhere near that 

level of beauty and perfection.

I used to have an obsession with Paperchase postcards... can you tell?

My clock (only £3!) has broken though so in my room it's permanently quarter to 11.

A vintage map of the world. I love to look at this and imagine where I will

visit next. I keep meaning to put pins in the places I've already visited!

    

 My absolute faves + my inventive use of coke cans and a paper plane my friend from Spanish

class made me as my paper plane making skills are non existent. // One of my jam packed walls...

       

 Another shot of the wall featuring my gorgeous ruby red guitar, lanterns and eternal fake

flowers // Even my wardrobe has had the postcard treatment (plus a bit of tinsel that stays there

all year round).

Once I went shopping and found these in a shop. They're meant to be table mats but

I stuck them on my wall instead and I write inspirational messages to myself.

They're like little black boards and they came with their own chalk. Pretty cool huh? ;)

 

 Sticky notes with lyrics on them that I like ft. one of my fave photos of Audrey Hepburn //

Me doing the peace sign in the mirror, where I stick my gig tickets, like it's 2008 all over again.

Never forget this, even on those crap days where you just want to

dig a hole in the ground and live a worm like exsistance.

Photo booth photos are the best. If I could have a permanent photobooth

in my room I would. These are some with my Ma & Pa, one in Brick Lane and one in 

Camden Town. I also stick my train and subwaytickets here too because I'm indie like that.

                         

My noticeboard which I made in the summer of 2010 and is now 4 years out of date but still

nice to look at. Above that are lots of photos from this year of college which I look at

to remind myself of some pretty awesome times. // I pimped my light switch and put a postcard

of Gerard Pique my bezzie sent me from Barcelona to perk me up for the day.

I hope you liked this little insight into my world.... :)

PERFECT SUNDAYS

Yesterday I had the most perfect Sunday.

It was a glorious early spring afternoon, the sun was

shining, the skies were blue, I had a laugh with my sister,

we ate ice cream, and there was some kind of magic in

the air. These are some of the photographs that I took...

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.
