Bloglovin’

Hmmm. So I joined the bloglovin’ thing. Lots of people seem to be on it, it’s a bit like the blogger follower thing I think. Seeing as I’m not on blogger anymore, this might be a good option. I’m still figuring it out. As with a lot of things on this site. So, Follow my...

Coveting: Firetrap Bellamy Maxi Dress

When I was at the Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Fest on saturday, I spotted a girl wearing this Maxi, I asked her where it was from and discovered it was Firetrap! I wasn’t surprised, it’s a great print and right up my street. It’s grungy yet summery – a hard thing to pull off. It’s...

Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Festival 2010 on Clapham Common

More gigs! Love it. On saturday I went to the Ben & Jerry’s Sundae Festival 2010 on Clapham Common; Scouting for Girls, Idlewild, free icecream and a farm – what more could you want?? The weather was pretty much perfect – a few clouds but it was so hot – icecream certainly helps! I think...

Hello world!

Wow. So, I’ve done it! Sort of. Things are in the mid-way between being terrible and being better. Remember I posted about wanting to switch my website and blog over to one place? Well here it is. It’s using a basic template at the moment; I will eventually make a custom one and it’ll be...

Getting somewhere now…

Ian Dodd’s lecture was really good, by the way. I am both inspired and even more scared of graduating now :P But yeah, loads of good tips for freelancing. Glad I went. Right, so my projects are frustrating as hell these days. The magazine is going great, except I’m totally going to run out of...

Promises, Promises, Promises.

I’ve really neglected my blog. In between getting awesome grades at Uni (why, yes, thank you!) and partying my socks off, I haven’t been showing the world anything. How disgraceful. Needless to say, that will change very soon.

New York, New York!

Ahoy hoy. Yes, I have arrived back from my wondrous trip over the Atlantic to good ol’ NYC. Actually I got back about 10 days ago but alaso my life is never pure and simple so I have been sidetracked lots. But I’m here to talk about some cool things I saw and stuff.So it...

Editorial Illustration

The last module I’m going to write about on here from Semester 1. This was the hardest module I think, each project had a turnaround of 3 weeks from ideas to final: a lot of pressure. I enjoy editorial illustration though, something nice about reading an article and coming up with an image to accompany...

Next Uni Work Update: Negotiated.

NEGOTIATED PROJECT. This was my favourite module I think. We basically could do anything we wanted, like a CD cover, set of posters, advertising, book cover, anything really. That was good because we wrote our own brief and worked to our own time scale so really had to organise yourself. I decided to do Point...

New Year, New Start.

I am so glad 2007 is over. It wasn’t the best year for me. That’s a massive understatement. It was the worst year of my life. However… I’m starting again and that means a new outlook and GETTING MY BLOG BACK TOGETHER. It’s been bugging me for ages, how unorganised I’ve been with it. I...

Hello.

Apparently I can update my blog from Word 2007 now. Which is what I’m doing right now. Isn’t that clever. Word 07 is sexy, I love it. Unfortunately I only have the trial version and the full version is obviously expensive. Stupid Microsoft. Anyway, I have Word 2007 because I have a new (Vista, ooo)...
