firenze part II

Finally managed to put the photos from my camera on!

View from our window.

 Leather.

Duomo.

 The flea market, our favourite place.

Vintage fair.

Off to Paris next week! And guess who booked train tickets to London for January instead of February?
I'm such a skeeze.

firenze part I

Hello, back from Florence! Well I was a couple of days ago but I have been lazy/lost my camera lead, so these are the first instalment of photos taken on my phone/by other people.
It was totally amazing, but now I can't quite get back into a uni routine. Oh dear. Paris next week probably won't help.

Duckfooted at the Duomo.

Found an amazing shop - Luisa Via Roma.

Tried on some vintage dresses. Unfortunately much too expensive!

Visited some designer stores. Umbrellas at Burberry.

 Went to Salvatore Ferragamo's shoe museum. Awesome.

 A very pretty wedding dress.

Hung out at the 'Irish' bar, Il Fauno, with some new found friends.

The reason for our trip - Pitti Filati.

 Home James.

S'more to come.

As promised, my other finds from the Salvation Army.

1. Midi kilt/skirt thing.

2. Maxxxxxxi trench coat/mac thing.

Do I look like a flasher and/or old person? Hope so.

new jacket

Salvation Army for life.

This lovely guy from the Durham branch, but also got some absolute gems from the one in Peterlee too. No doubt they will make an appearance soon.

Back in Durham for the night, trying to scrounge euros/plug adapters/travel toiletries for Florence! I mean I totally thought I was going on Wednesday and not Tuesday next week. Gaaaaah.

not tonight but sometime soon

Okay, sorry I've been absent a while, non-stop revision and then hardly ever staying at my own house doesn't make for good blogging.

I've had this bralet from Urban Outfitters for a while now and don't really wear it as underwear 'cause its a bit longer than usual and is kind of annoying, HOWEVER, is it acceptable as a top?

I know I'm like a year late on the underwear as outerwear trend, but who's following trends these days anyway?

Feel tonight is a tad nippy (aaaha), but I like the skater-dress look for another time yis?

sorry about my face

Yeah so, helped a friend out modelling for a photoshoot she was doing for a project in Hyde Park. At the skate park. On a lovely sunny but freezing day. Here are a few of the photos I can stand to look at (I hate my face).

Oh yeah and check out my new jumper and shirt! Got them on my last day in Durham from classic Salvation Army, awesomes.

Gah why I am I moody ALL the time? Sorry. Anyway, definitely realised that a model career is not for me, hahaaaa. Back to reality and... revision!
