Asos jacket and skirt
top made by me
River Island shoes
vintage sunglasses
old straw boater
H&M earrings


This is an outfit I really liked but didn't get chance to shoot myself (you can probably tell by the vastly different photography style) - these photos were taken by the lovely lady (oops, didn't get her name) behind the Street Style Carousel out in Spitalfields last weekend. The weather has been beautiful (minus a few notably horrible days) so I have been breaking out the summer straw hats! :)

original 1940s Balmain dress (not mine sadly)
vintage velvet turban
old velvet gloves
Topshop heels
H&M earrings

I've slowly been repairing this beautiful 1940s Pierre Balmain dress for a friend. Many hours of delicate hand-sewing later, all the rips and tears are fixed so how could I not shoot it? Walking around where I live at 9am in an evening dress and heels towing a tripod was a somewhat weird experience, but worth it for these shots (before a confused security guard told me to go away).

robe from Manchester Chinatown
H&M shirt and dungarees
River Island jacket
Underground creepers
vintage sunglasses
bag from India
embarrassing Christmas-themed socks

This was a pretty basic (for me) scrud life outfit. Scrud life is on the move, packing light, sitting on pavements, hanging out and being chill. Yesterday I stumbled across some very photogenic houses in Notting Hill - now I finally know where everyone takes their Landan blog photos! If I lived there I'd be so annoyed... I literally had to wait my turn to photograph here! Also, I'm still working towards being white but I'm currently really enjoying being blonde/yellow, especially when I find matching surroundings! :)

Ever since I discovered that there's an area of London called Little Venice (I know right, who's ever heard of it??), I've been wanting to visit. May bank holiday weekend was perfect as all the canalboats were decorated and there were kids everywhere and we may have spent a good half an hour eating candy floss and watching a clown perform. :)
