New Look Winter Coat
Not only did I go out for cake and tea on Sunday, it was also the day I got to try out my new coat from New Look. I purchased it in the sale for just £20 and it is super cosy and warm! I really wanted a new black coat as my other one is quite old now, the lining is all ripped on the inside and most of the buttons are missing. This new coat is done up with just a zip so I've no worries of missing buttons and it fits so beautifully with enough room to allow me to wear a jumper underneath. I styled it with a jumper I bought in Topshop last year, black skinnies, a primark bag and a pair of leopard Vans. I absolutely love Vans off the wall plimsolls, they are so comfortable and you can get them in numerous styles which means that you can get a pair to compliment any outfit! I did have the original black Vans but they met their untimely end when I decided to wear them to a fair, not realising it was going to be extremely muddy! Needless to say they did not survive. I'm much more careful with these ones and they make for perfect footwear for a countryside stroll!
Our walk took us up near Old Sarum Castle in Salisbury, Wiltshire. We were a bit late to go and see the castle ruins but we could walk around the grounds and get a beautiful view of the city from the hill as well as the sunset. I'm not a fan of cold weather, nor winter at all really, but with a view as pretty as this and such good weather, it felt good to be outside.

Film Photoset.
I keep a shoebox under my bed holding postcards I've collected and photos that I have taken and today I decided to take it out and have a look. When I was living in Bath I took a lot of photographs on my film camera, constantly documenting the time in which I evolved in to an independent young adult. At least I like to think that's what happened. I'm back living at home now but looking back over the two years that helped shape me and in which brought about so many wonderful memories, has got me feeling nostalgic and creative again and i'll most likely be taking the camera out again soon. It's strange, because when I was doing my photography A level at college I was firmly convinced that digital images were my favourite medium and that's probably due to the fact I could manipulate them so heavily in photoshop. As I got older I looked to other methods and I've since found my love lies in film and it's purely for the reason that once you've clicked the shutter button you won't know the outcome until it's developed. I like waiting in order to see what sort of colours have been produced and what expressions and moments I have captured. Sometimes you get some beautiful images and sometimes you get a roll of black or blurry images but it doesn't matter, you can always take another film. I've included some of my photography below as you'll see my friend and ex-housemate Rachel features heavily in them which is due to the fact we were joined at the hip and for the most part still are!
