Why do I love Spring? Well, not only is March my Birthday month, it is the season where seeds blossom into beautiful flowers and baby lambs are born ! I just love the beauty in Spring where the sun shines and your garden comes to life with colour and wildlife. It's enough to grab your canvas and start painting this glorious sight. I became interested in landscape and still life photography ever since visiting several House and garden centres with my parents and I was astonished with the effect in had on my mood. There was nothing but positive energy, full of warmth, bright light and colour. I couldn't help but smile. I wanted to capture it and make a memory and so my love of photography was born. Above is my photo I took in my grandparents garden. I loved this yellow rose; it mirrored happiness and hope. A feeling that is rare and when you can retain in, it's the most beautiful thing. I blurred the background to highlight the significance of the rose and the image is truly astonishing.

A message to all my viewers:

Spring is the month for invention and creativity and by that I mean re-inventing your self; becoming a happier you and banishing negativity. Be creative and express your self through what you love, enjoy and what is passionate to you. Ditch those January and February blues and look to be happy and healthy. Have a Spring clean? take up a new hobby? get rid of bad influences and replace it with good? Whatever takes your fancy but as long as it is an opportunity to be inventive and creative!

February Fashion Frenzy!

05:28 Unknown 0 Comments


This month is all about the preppy London look. This means high-wasted jeans, trousers, tartan and leopard print scarfs, hats, lace, light-weight knits and wavy hair ! Here me and my friend model our interpretations of these ideas to create our own look. Comment to let us know what you think! (also, ignore the vampire posters and books in the background. :P)

I feel scarf's make a great alternative for necklaces. They make any look more sophisticated and classy. I teamed this black cream-peach leopard-print scarf with a cream/white top so it didn't appear too over the top. If your wondering how I managed to get my hair this way, I used my Babyliss Curlying Wand and curled my hair in a downwards motion so it shapes my face. I have a round face but this technique can give the illusion of being thinner and more oval.
