Weekday love

Even though I'm currently drowning in my most nerve wrecking deadline yet at uni, I couldn't help but share my love with Weekday, once again. I treated myself to an outfit from them some weeks ago, a matching pencil skirt and jumper, which came to £52! A Bargain if you ask me. Their Weekday line is always very fairly priced for the quality you get, they also feature up and coming designer collections, which round up to a bit more, but are more limited edition and better quality when it comes to fabrics and such. 

I'm really loving the co ord and suit craze at the moment. Even though I'm still looking for the perfect trouser suit to fit my body type (read: for girls who actually have thighs, bum, curves etc.) I love the range at Topshop, with their fun prints and patterns, but their trousers barely fit around my waist with out being too long or weird around my calves. Plus the issue of price, most of the Topshop suits are priced £115 and up, which is all right for the actual quality, but I'd be willing to pay less for something a bit more everyday or casual rather than a business suit with a wacky print.

But here are some photos of my lovely Weeday pencil skirt co ord.

I paired it with my H&M x Stine Riis jacket. 

My Pipe sweater and pipe skirt. I call it my referee outfit, all that's missing is a whistle around my neck!

Always as in love with the blooming trees in our lovely West Hampstead neighbourhood. 

Now I'm off to more studying! I'm doing a moving image unit at uni and our options were completely open as to what we wanted to do for our final project. I of course decided to do such a time consuming film, an all hand made animation short film. It's coming along nicely and today I'll be scanning all my frames into my computer, so in the coming week I'll be doing all the editing and technical things. Should be a very interesting end result! Maybe I'll show you guys, but if it turns out horrible.. well, then I wont. Haha!

Exhibition week

Last saturday was the first day of my final exhibition. The show is on throughout this week if you're interested in looking at art from the foundation students at Camberwell College of Arts! I cannot believe a year has gone! My foundation year is now over and I'll be starting my first year in BA(hons) in photography at London College of Communication this autumn. Very exciting times ahead. The facilities and the teachers there are absolutely amazing. I literally can't wait to start! This also means that I'll be spending at least 3 more years in London. 

I'll share some photos from the exhibition soon but for now I'll share with you more photos we took in Hampstead Cemetery the other day. 

I was wearing Lilja's amazing Chie Mihara heals. My jeans and hat are from Monki and the jumper is a very old H&M jumper I can't seem to get sick off. 

I was wearing heals for the first time in a very very long time.  I did not break any bones, although it seems like something horrible is about to happen in this photo. 

That's all. Today I will help Lilja out with her final project and then it's the semi finals of Eurovision tonight! Being Icelandic I can't help being big geeky Eurovision fan! 

The good life

I always fall in to the habit of not being as productive as I should be the first 4 weeks of term, and then suddenly realizing I've got a month until hand in and panicking. That's my current state of mind, except today is 3 weeks until hand, but I've come quite a long way with my project, so I'm not freaking out that much.

2 Thursdays ago me and Katrín ventured over to Somerset House to enjoy the sun in the courtyard. It was absolutely amazing. No wind, probably around 20 degrees celcius, you can cool off by having a light walk through the fountains and enjoy a quick cold drink from Fernandez & Wells or Toms Deli to name a couple of the in house cafes and restaurants. If you're totally skint like me and Katrín are (pretty much always, oh, uni life) then you can have a 3 minute walk around the corner to a Tescos Central shop and still enjoy in the courtyard or in the riverside of Somerset House.

Here are some photos from that lovely day! 

I wore my lovely nude and pastel yellow dress from Zara, which I got on sale late last summer, and have never actually worn until this spring!

I had my lovely Topshop sunglasses and my Marc by Marc Jacobs wishbone necklace, also peeking through the see through fabric is my favorite COS top, which I also got on sale (the seamless knickers that go with it are amazing as well)!

Somerset House is definitely my favorite London spot at the moment, and even though I do love LFW, I think I prefer the surroundings with out it. 

Stay tuned for some more outfit posts coming from both me and Katrín, we're trying to be more productive when it comes to posting! 

Friday & flowers

Again, sorry about the lack of posts recently, especially from me! I've been busy with my final project at uni, which I have now handed in, hooray! The exhibition starts tomorrow. I'm both excited and terrified! It's a weird feeling knowing your work being displayed at an exhibition where people come and look at it. It's even more terrifying because at this point I don't really like it anymore, I've been looking at it and working on it for so long I've gotten sick of it! But oh well, I'm sure I'm not the only art student that is feeling like this. 

Me and Lilja took some photos yesterday in Hampstead Cemetery, it's a beautiful cemetery little less than a 5 minute walk from our flat. So lovely! 

Here are a few of the photos I took, you'll see more photos soon from Lilja and me. x

Changing character

My friend Marsý somehow persuaded me at 8 am in the morning to model for Mint Vintage, a vintage clothing store in Dalston, after a model suddenly cancelled on them last minute. It was quite the comical day, as I'm not one to wear a lot of vintage. There were some lovely 40's and 50's style dresses that I could definitely see myself wearing, but when I was put in a pair of dungarees and also some denim on denim, Marsý and I cracked up a bit. Here are some of my favorite shots from that funny day.

Denim on denim. Save this image, you'll never see me wearing so much denim again.. ever!

My favorite outfit from the day.

All photos by Marsý Hild. Check out Mint Vintage online here, shop the looks here on their ASOS marketplace boutique or go have a look in their store in Dalston! 

I'll probably never be one to go for the all in vintage look, but this day made me realize how it can be fun to mix and match new styles with bits and bobs of vintage. I'm a total sucker for 20's to 50's style dresses though. I'm still in constant search for the perfect flapper dress as well as a black or white lace 50's cocktail dress.
