 Uni has been pretty boring until today, we've had projects and things to do to make us feel comfortable with the materials and workshops but today we finally got to do what we like. i still have to take photos so ill do a separate post for that on my tumblr. heres a few photos of my work in the first 2 weeks.

scanography

this is what ive been doing lately and going to my uni interviews. this project is on identity im really getting stuck into it i love it. ive decided im either going to go salford uni or huddersfield not chosen which one yet biggg desision ahaha

DIY bleached jumper

I had an old jumper that I never wore, and I'd got bleach on one of my tops a few weeks ago and it turned this lovely colour, so I decided to try it on this jumper. I love it! I don't think I'm going to wear it because the jumper is abit large and not flattering at all. I love how I spilt the bleach abit too I might even add to the jumper with abit more bleach ahah.
All you need is an old piece of clothing, can be anything, and kitchen/bathroom bleach. And just draw your design on! Hope it works well if you try it

whats in my bag

Whats in my bag?

we will start from left to right shall we?
my mullberry bag. i will never in my entire life want another purse, my aunty bought me this purse for my 18th birthday along with my mulberry bag, but the bag has an akward handle so i dont like to carry it much but its so nice. I love the purse so much, it smells so nice everytime i open it ahah mm leather!
My IPad. this is the best purchase i have ever done. I bought it using all of my birthday money when i was 17. and i love it take it out with me everywhere! when my ipods flat i even use this as my ipod for the day hehe. seriously recommend the IPad to anyone. i love it.
The paper is just my assesment sheet from thursday. thought id add it to whats in my bag, because...it was in my bag.
Chewing gums, i'd had a sandwich with onion on and its not the nicest thing to go and meet your boyfriend after so i ran in the shop and got some haha.
college pass, photo is awful, was taken after a day of my friends parents being away and had a house party. rough as.
my house keys, with a photo of my beautiful niece on it.
Keri Smith book. these books are so inpirational. i love them. mess, this is not a book, wreck this journal and how to be an explorer of the world. each of her books ask you to be different, like chew on the page. or look at the ground beneath your feet and write down what you see. make sure i have one of her books in my bag when i leave the house.

Memory card, used this so much this week. left it in college and nearly cried abit when i thought id lost it.
3 photos i have in my purse and carry with me everyday. One of my gradma as a child (the photo you can see), one of my granddad when he was in his 20's pulling a funny face and one of my grandma and granddad together on their first date infront of blackpool tower. these two people mean so much to me and they come everywhere with me. i phone them everyday to check on them. i love my grandparents.
niveva cream
mac blush, which i spent alot on and then dropped and it smashed so i only have a tiny bit left as gradually all the bits have fallen out.
dior mascara, best mascara ive ever used. recommend.
dry shampoo because i slept out lastnight and didnt feel like walking home with greasy hair, so good this stuff.

keri smith- how to be an explorer of the world.

the three photos of my grandparents.

cheeky charity buys

oxfam - £3.49

oxfam- £5.99

oxfam- £4.00

oxfam- £2.00

got this bag given to me, its been a life saver the past few days.

vintage coat- ryan vintage manchester - £20

Been so long since ive blogged again, im so sorry! not lost any followers though so thankyou. been so busy, and getting pretty drunk everyweekend which has made my work slack alot, so ive been trying to catch up on all my sketchbooks. got assesed yesterday, did pretty well considering i did most of it in the past 3 days.
thought id treat myself to a few things from the charity shop, the top 4 items are from yesterday the coat is from a few weeks ago in manchester.
i love this cardigan, it was in the mens section of oxfam. smells abit like cigs aswell but nothing a wash wont get rid off! been wearing it all day today it looks so cute! wore it with my DIY peter pan collar top i made (might make a tutorial sometime) and my jeans and my red boating shoes.

Which is my next item im going to talk about. these are so cute im a size 7 feet. these are a size 8 so they flip off a little but i can still walk in them and love them so im not scured. ahahah! new little saying i have. sorry. ahaha. i write as if im talking to you all. need to sort it.

my black boots are so cute! i had a pair like this from peacocks last year but they are now ruined. i was in my 3d class and stood on a craft knife and thankfully it didnt slice my foot open but it did slice my boot. gutted i was but yesterday i found these cheeky monkeys ahaha! bought them, although they are a size 6, they're abit tight but ill make them fit. 

just bought this cute little jumper with flowers on, it will do for college.
my addidas bag, my auntie gave me a few things in this bag, but i liked the bag more than the things. so ive been using it to take all my sketchbooks to college. actually got a few compliments on it. ahaha i think they are only like £3. but its such a good simple bag. i love it. must invest in some more shopper bags.

this coat, fell in love as soon as i saw it, was supposed to spend the £20 on some food shopping for home, because im on a diet where i buy my own teas like weightwatcher meals. but i just had to have this coat instead of them! best buy ever. if you live in manchester go to ryan vintage its amazing! also abit furthur up is the £3 and under shop. amazinggggg shops.
