Library Pictures

Sorry if you follow me on twitter, I got a bit overexcited when sharing this shoot I photographed and styled for the Tab. Following on from the Spotted craze, I thought the best place to locate our efforts would be the library, so we took over a toilet this morning and spent a while snapping away and confusing the other students who were being a bit too studious for a Saturday morning. The wonderful Taylor (click through to her blog!) and Amy were the best models I could've wished for, considering this was my first attempt at being a "photographer". So, this may not be my usual kind of post, but I am a little proud that I'm pushing myself to try something new.

One way or another.

"Horror" tee: £9, Topshop. Leather skirt: £13.50, Topshop. Boots: Stylistpick. Denim jacket; £63, NW3 by Hobbs. Scarf: £8, ebay.

Is this... sunshine? It's a deceptive springtime. I left the flat in this getup, only to find that it is certainly not warm enough for just a denim jacket, and had my hands balled into little fists inside the pockets for warmth - I never learn. Still, after a lecture on Barbie, Georgia, Clarity and I headed somewhere warm for a roll and cupcake (malteaser!) and a moan about how much work we're all collectively avoiding.

Which, in a rather convoluted way, brings me onto this t-shirt. Tapping into my inner Goth (I never had a proper phase, so this is my mini rebellion), I indulged in this "horror" t shirt in Topshop's January sale, and I am making sure I don't wear it all the time, for fear of looking like some oddball trying to relive their teenage years. I do, however, like how I've styled it completely differently to Lily - and this is why t-shirts are the best things ever, and no one ought to argue against that.

What I'd wear to Fashion Week.

NEW YORK

 

LONDON

 

MILAN

 

PARIS

While it would appear that everyone else has been braving Somerset House's cobbles, I've been rather studious, and have stayed in my university town, in order to catch up on my ever-extending reading list. This, however, hasn't stopped me from noticing everyone's instagrams, tweets, and general excitement about what London has to offer. Feeling rather left out, I cheered myself up a little by having a look around the Max Studio website and put together a few outfits based upon what I reckon each city would require. It would appear that I'm having a bit of a monochrome moment, but can you ever really beat a heeled chelsea boot? And with the amount of designer maxi dresses on offer, maybe I should give that London look a go! Now, do I try on a turtleneck as well, or leave it (ostensibly where it belongs) in the nineties...
