A gilmpse at some of my work...

Some of you have been asking to see more of my work, so I've taken photographs of some of the pages from my last project. My subject was British Heritage:

A Tin Of Sardines

My life is slowing down right now and I can't express how relieved I am. I finish college this week so I will finally have some time to sort my head out and actually indulge in things that I enjoy. I booked a holiday last week too, so it will be great to get away next month. However, I am now the poorest I have been in my life so far.

Moving on, that enough of poring my emotion out all over the internet, lets talk cameras. I own an old Praktica film camera which I picked up at a car-boot sale about 4 years ago but have never actually got round to using. So, the other week I went hunting for some film and finally took it out for a spin, only to find (upon getting my photographs developed), that the camera is actually probably near death. Which is a great shame because I have a lot of love for it's shell. Since this, I've been on the hunt for a new film camera, preferably a Lomography one. After scouring their online store last week, I found the love of my life- the La Sardina.





With it's wonderfully quirky, sardine can design and wide-angle lens, this camera has without doubt, stolen my heart and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I set eyes on it. It's soul crushing that I can't afford it now until next month, but I'll absolutely be worth the wait.

Some lomography photographs, who wouldn't want to take photos like these?:

Thanksiceland

Hello beautiful people,

I hope you are all well and enjoying your summer so far. I finally finish college at the end of the month and seriously can not stress to you how much I looking forward to be free. I can’t wait to be back using my camera and I’ve got so many ideas floating around for things to make when I set up my little blog shop! July can’t come quick enough. Tonight, I’m suddenly on a high of creativity!

I have some post planned for this week, including a post on Youreyeslie, a new and upcoming fashion brand who ever so kindly have send me some free goodies again! If you haven’t’ checked them out, then I strongly suggest you do so, their cosmic prints are ace! I’m also planning a post on my ideas for my blog shop, stay tuned.

While I’m sat here typing this in the front room of my house, I can’t help but wonder if any of my 1188 have any resent towards my bad blogging ways. ANYHOW, once again, I thank you all for still following and I promise you’ll love what I’ve got up my sleeve for the summer!
Much love to you all, Chloe x

Geographer

Hello there!

So, the other day the sun was out so I grabbed the opportunity to pull out my old beaten up sandals. I've had them for around three years- they've been super glued many-a-time and were even fixed whilst I was holidaying in Tunisia a few years back but I just can't bring myself to part with them. So the compromise was to keep them but invest in some new ones too. And just my luck, they arrive and the weather turns horrid again- only in England! It's been poaring with rain since Thursday and we've even had some thunder (which, strange as it may be, I quite like).

I've spent my past week doing work, being in work and lusting over things I want to buy for summer.

Anyway, back to the sandals, I'm not sure if you can call the first pair 'sandals' as they're jelly shoes. I saw these in Grazia magazine a few weeks back and fell in love, how many pairs of jelly shoes have you seen which are lace-ups? EXACTLY! I've never really been a fan of the shoes and didn't invest when they came back in fashion a few years ago but these babies were too good to miss! And who'd have thought they'd look s good with socks?




Secondly, these cute Jesus woven sandals from ASOS, you can bag these for just £25! Cute and will be worn with just about everything I own these summer, providing the UK gives us some sun!




I'd also like to say thank you so much to the wonderful messages and comments I received after my last post, you guys are so supportive and I can't thank you enough for your kind words. I hope you are all well and have a little less work to do than I do! If any of you are TwitterERS you here is link.

And one last thing before I go, give this a listen! Geographer - Kites



Much love, Chloe xxx

To my readers

I just logged on to Lookbook to have a browse and it's made me feel a little sad and even more ambitious to get back blogging and posting looks. I feel so out of the loop with the blogging world right now and I'm missing it a lot. A lot, a lot. My work load appears to be never ending and I'm only falling further behind. Roll on the day when I finally finish and never have to go back there. However, right now that day seems to be months, years, centuries away.

I thought I should be at least half decent to let you lovely readers know where I have disappeared to over the past few months, that is, if anybody ever reads this any more... Anyway, come June I will be back in action, with no more of this lack of updates for weeks at a time. I also have a few ideas up my sleeve which I'll go into more detail about when I'm back.

So, thank you for those of you who do read, thank you for being patient with this lost and bewildered blogger, and thank you for being so lovely. For now, you can track my thoughts on Twitter, I started tweeting again a few weeks ago.

Also, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and ate lots of chocolate!

Speak to you all soon, Chloe! x

I AM ALIVE

Hello wonderful bloggers. I owe each and every one of you a sincere apology for going AWOL this past month. I've had so much to do you wouldn't believe, so have been chained to my desk for what seems like forever. University interviews have started so i've been trying to get my portfolio looking good, and as any of you art students out there will know- it is very stressful! However, it's my Birthday on the 19th so i'm looking forward to that. Roll on Summer when all of this is over.

I'm feeling very detached from the blogging world as i've not blogged in over a month, and haven't had time to read my favourite blogs. I'm going to make sure I put aside some this this week to have a big catch up and will put up some photographs to show you guys what i've been up to. I'll try my best to sqeeze in a cheeky outfit post too.

Hope you're all doing well and aren't as stressed out as me! Speak to you soon, Chloe x
