It's been a week since i last posted and so much has happened this is blog post that i had planned to do got pushed back into my mind as life got in the way. It was a very up + down week and consisted a lot of different emotions but it's been resolved and i feel a lot happier with my life again.

mind|matter

its been very sunny and warm over the weekend and it has been lovely. Saturday, Emma, Josh & I went to London to a £1 Vintage Fair which took extremely long to get too and wasn't really worth the journey. Alas i bought three items and then wandered around all areas of London, which is nice because even though originally i only live about 20 minutes (by train) from London there's so much i need to explore and find out.

today was very lazy. which i am regretting but it also help me put to mind to rest. I've been having a few thoughts about my course and it's all getting very confusing and making me feel very strange about being here. Early evening, Megs & I took a stroll to the park and sat on the grass reading art books.

+ my outfit for London consisted of all black. of course
+ I drank two grande chai tea lattes with soya milk from Starbucks in
+ I bought two arty magazines called FAT MAGAZINE & POP and i love them both very much
+ The weekend went far too quickly
+ I have so much to do but i actually can't describe what needs to be done. student life at it's finest

p.s the sky looked to pretty at dusk tonight so i had to show you.

sunday

- Seeing as it was sunny today i had to do something adventurous and take a small walk with Megs. After bathing in the sun, we decided to make a short film which blogger won't let me upload, so here is a picture of some pretty flowers i bought to make my apartment feel a little more homely. It was a relaxed day, reading art theory books, listening to music and just bathing in the sun. I cannot wait for summer. It's only march and it feels like we've bypassed Spring completely. 

- Megs and i have been talking about going away at Easter for a few days to a city to get some art inspiration and just have a little break from Kent & today all of a sudden we booked two tickets to Paris! We have both been before but as it's my favourite place in the world ( no lie there ) i always feel the desire to go and never come back. I am now extremely excited as it's just over a month away.. which speaking of this, i need to brush up on my french..bonjour? & i have so much to plan; clothes/itinerary/music/insurance/money it's going to fly by. 

- Talking of time passing quickly - my first year at university is nearly over. i only have four weeks left & then after Easter we are assigned to a third year to help out with their final degree show which will be really interesting to work with another artist. Although i bet i'll just be a latte runner. 

- I was hitting myself against a brick wall ( metaphorically ) with my art ideas. I had seriously hit a dry spot and i couldn't think of anything else to do related to my previous project; which was bones & conditions. I've now thought about the human body & form and what are natural forms, e.g crystals.  Brainstorm- having a skin like material with growing crystals on it. 

- Most of that was a ramble so i apologise. 

p.s i will try and upload the video at some point. hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

hello again

Hello again, welcome back to my blog! 

I have been away for so long and have sat there with my laptop with blogger open waiting for the right moment to start blogging again. Every other day I wonder about starting a fresh blog with a fresh face (unlike my own as I'm writing this at 1am!) but I had a side track moment tonight, looking through my 14 year old blogger self and it gave me a very warm nostalgic feeling. So this night was the perfect spark to the firework. 

There's some questions that need answering so i'll state the obvious:

Where have I been? 

University. I'm currently in my first year and honestly, I don't have time to breathe. I'm a workaholic!

Studying what? 

Bachelor of Fine Arts

What are you going to blog about?

I tried with a sort-of-fashion blog but I think I needed more help with how to run a fashion blog. So I think it's going to be about inspirations/art/fashion & life. I guess just a general blog without all the normal bitchy things people can write in blogs. 

So, yup, this is it. I cannot wait to start sharing what is going on in my small bubble of my life with different parts of the world. I hope that within this blog people find inspiration like I do. As well as that, I hope that we can share our thoughts and admirations in this world. 

If anyone has any questions,thoughts,comments or requests then please do let me know. 

much love.
