Belfast

 I'm sorry that I didn't upload last week. I was away in Belfast being rained on. I can't complain too much though, because I SAW WHERE CASTLE BLACK IN GAME OF THRONES WAS FILMED. I also may have visited the giant's causeway too which was wayyyyyyyyyyy too awesome for my mediocre photography skills to capture. It's actually spread out quite a lot, if you haven't seen it, so it's not just this big clunky pile of hexagon shaped rocks like you imagine it to be, its actually a very wide expanse of hexagon shaped rocks that are stupidly slippy because the waves that drench them in water are extremely big. Like, seriously, I have never seen breakers that huge before. It's phenomenal, it really is.

See ya soon guys

The Unicorn Hotel

I often find that when I'm thinking up posts, I have all these creative ideas and I can't wait to execute them. The only issue is that when it gets down to actually doing it, I either,

A: procrastinate and never get the project done,

B: Find that when I'm doing the photography for the post the lighting is so poor and I give up completely, or,

C: the background for the post is totally awful and I end up searching around the house WILLING for there to be decent floor/wall to do it in with adequate lightning but end up getting so frustrated so I just flop down on my bed in a mixture of despair and irritability and wonder why I even bother.

Please say that someone agrees with me and struggles with this! I often wonder how people actually get those perfectly white walls that look like they're straight out of a fashion magazine. How do people DO this?? 

*sigh*

Leafy Appreciation

I'm getting used to dragging my camera out everywhere I go now. I mean, its still seriously awkward just doing random photography in the middle of Nottingham and I still prefer going out to quieter places (ie Clumber Park)  but I'm getting used to it.

If I could, all my photos would be of fluffy puppies. There was a stupid amount of dogs that I both cuddled and photographed that day. There are lots of failed photos saved of blurry pups cus' THEY KEEP MOVING. Don't get me wrong, it's cute as hell, but it would be nice to get a decent photo of a living pom-pom for once...

See ya soon guys

The cold never bothered me anyway *sniffles*

*cough* *sneeze* *wipes nose unattractively on sleeve* *uses whole box of kleenex* *groans about being cold* *wheezes*

Hey there. I'm sick.

But look on the bright side, I got a replacement laptop! YESSSSS! My last one kinda kicked the bucket so I'm in the process of getting all my old files and putting them on this computer. But I'm sooooo happy that I have a laptop again. I've hated not being able to blog but now, for the most part, I can get back into the swing of things.

Oh, and before I sign off,  I hope you all had a great holiday season, whether you celebrate Christmas or not!

See ya soon guys

Clothes Show Live '14

I am so incredibly sorry that I haven't put up any posts this week. My laptop had a complete meltdown and I am trying really hard to get it fixed. Aggghhh! Can't trust any technology these days!

But anyway, last week I went to Clothes Show Live and HOLY BEYONCE IT WAS SO AMAZING. Words cannot describe how awesome it was. There was so much glitter, sparkly stuff and wicked dancing. I felt like it was more a Broadway musical than a clothes show.

I think I took about 200 pictures in total and a lot sucked (newsflash: taking pictures of rapidly moving people is hard), so these are the final few. I have to say, I am very happy with them! Most of the credit must go to my fab zoom lens and my seat though. We went to one of the early shows and not enough people had booked for the front row SO GUESS WHAT!! I got moved to the front! YAY!

 See ya soon guys

Ireland

My little feet are only beginning to thaw from the freezing gale force wind outside. HIIISSSSS to winter weather.

So I went to Ireland this weekend to see my lovely relatives and to see my little baby cousin get christened (totally adorable, I swear.) It was really nice to go out with my camera and take some shots of the gorgeous, rural scenery while I could, although I had to be honest, my hands were literally blue by the end. I think it was worth it though.

Oh, and just a tip if you are going to Ireland any time soon and you are also a veggie like me, beware of the non existent vegetarian options! It really isn't fun eating just carrots while everyone is eating a full meal... (but I did get to drink half of Ireland's supply of green tea so that's my payback)

See ya soon guys

Autumn Haul

look at me and my stupidly clunky camera

How was your Halloween? I have to say, mine was pretty good. I went as the stereotypical zombie, only drenched in a ridiculous amount of fake blood and grey face paint. I'd like to say I looked pretty scary but to be honest I think I just looked like Louis Suarez.

(ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ~ 

Anyways, after recently flicking through my blog archives (is that the name for them?) I realised it has been a full year since last doing a haul post! So naturally, I had to do one. 
I think I got some really nice stuff this season. I think my favourite pieces would have to be either the burgundy brogues which are actually pretty sturdy considering they came from Primark, or the 'hand' necklace which I have literally been wearing with all my outfits. For some reason I'm really loving all the symbol-y type stuff, hence the runes print bomber.

What do you think? Tell me in the comments!

See ya soon guys
