I'm Loving....

Hikakin. He's a Japanese Beatboxer, and wow.

Seriously, with beatboxin, I can't just tell you. You need to check it out for yourself...

There's more videos aswell, so have a look here! That's his official blog site! Beautiful!!

Bored.

Yes. Thats Right, I'm posting because I'm bored. I cannot wait to get back to university so I can be a busy bunny with my work!

Next week is my 21st Birthday, and to my great delight my parents have bought me my very own portable studio equipment, and I plan to wear them out!!

I want to do some sort of shoot hopefully before I go back to university, but it would mean a lot of organisation which I unfortunately just don't have the time for!

1. Model Needed.

2. Make-up and hair artist needed.

3. CLOTHES needed. (Possibly on hire from a very nice shop!)

4. Location needed.

5. Transport needed....

Well. You get the idea right?

So now I'm just waiting for all my fashion events to arrive that I have been (very thankfully) enlisted to help with. But they seem soooooo far away!! Urgh! I can't wait any longer!

I need something to occupy myself with in the time being.

I want to go and take lots of lovely photos of beautiful scenery and animals and people and stuff... but again it all comes down to transport. =[

Cannot wait to pass my test!!!

What does everyone else do when they're bored? Has anyone got any suggestions? Please!!

Photoshoot Update,

Last week I shared Rafael's lovely photos, and I have finally got the full details of the designer! Danniele Feruson, is the brilliantly talented designer who looked at childhood to create these beautiful pieces:

And then, we have another Salford University Graduate 2010, Shazia Khan who created a very intimate collection of see through fabrics and shiny leggings.

I'm Loving....

OK so I'm a tad late jumpin on the band waggon with this one, but I have just have to express exactly how much I'm loving Eminem's new album Recovery.

Cinderella Man, Personal Favourite

Love The Way You Lie Feat Rhianna is also an amazing song, which I'm sure a lot of you already know.

Wont Back Down feat P!nk is a powerfully emotional song as well, I wish I had a great opportunity to sing that to someone and mean it!

Space Bound is also a great song.

With this album, Eminem claims to be "himself" again, after his last two albums, Encore he was hi, and Relapse he was... well in rehab. Now he is completely clean I believe he has gone back to his old rhymes and beats. Produced by Dr. Dre (which is great!), This album really puts Eminem back in my good books!

I can't remember what year it was, but I had tickets to go see Eminem in Manchester when he was huge, and the tour was cancelled due to his drug addiction. Now I'm thinking I really would like to see him live, I think it would be a great experience.

What does everyone else think of the album? Any favourite songs? Comments to add?

For those of you who haven't heard Eminem's new album... Get on to it!!

One last thing...

Whilst playing around with Photoshop I accidently... on Purpose... Made a huge colour adjustment to one of the images, and loved it.

Let me know what you think.

Do you think I should do more of the images like this?

Photoshoot Continued

Here are a few extra images that didn't make the last post,

Here is a beautiful example of Sam Parker's brilliant make-up work

Before The shoot me and Rafael went shopping for shoes. <3

And I believe we did great! Only buying two pairs, both from Schuh, Irregular Choice branded, we need not look any further!

You can find this sweet pair of shoes at Schuh here

You can find this pair at Schuh here.

Are these shoes to die for or what?! I wanted to take them home... But they were a bit too much for my purse to handle unfortunately... <3

Ok, So it was May when this gorgeous photoshoot was done, and I PROMISE, that any Photoshoot's I do myself, WILL NEVER take that long to get onto here for you!

I've spent all afternoon editing the images, and I'm proud to say they look fantastic!

Rafael was the person who came up with all the ideas for the photoshoot,

We had a few graduate collections to work with (I'm trying to find the designers names!) and a few piece that Rafael made himself. Other than that, all accessories were mainly picked out by myself.

I cannot wait to do my own shoot, so I can show you all my style!!
