If your looking for swimwear...

Whether it be for a winter break or in preparation for the summer months ahead pretty swimwear is a must. I'm currently obsessed with Topshops collection. It's a nice little mix of retro inspired and modern nautical swimwear with enough pieces to suit all shapes and sizes. My personal favourite is the purple one piece because of its 50's pin up style - showing that sometimes more really is more and can be just as sexy as a two-piece. I also really love the kaftan as the colour is awesome and paired with sandals will make a brilliant boho look. Anyway that's my verdict, for me this year Toppers is sizzling right now - I can't wait for summer.

Photo Editing - Crack-a-lackin.



For my media course I have to create a film concept and marketing. Here, my friends Sasha has bravely posed for me in a Black Swan Style Poster for my film 'Fall From Grace'. I edited with GIMP 2 which is 100% free and 100% awesome using a layer mask and two separate images. Anyway, its not perfect, but it gets the whole broken girl metaphor out there. Hoorah for pessimism and darkness.

Vienna Part One.

Vienna, Austria. Population: 1.7 million. Number of lost British college kids: 33.
And there I was. Vienna, a crazy beautiful city which I got the pleasure of visiting with my college last month. The city has a Parisian feel to it, with such gorgeous architecture that you never know what beauty will be  behind the corner, waiting to jump out at you and attack your eyes with fluid lines and Gothic structures. One of my favourites was Stephansplatz, the geographical centre of Vienna and home to the Stephansdom or in English, Saint Stephens Cathedral. The roof of this Roman Catholic Cathedral is a sea of pattern,with gold, blue, green and white mixing to create a geometric cocktail that delights the eyes - it truly is a wonder. Inside is just as glorious and decadent and should definitely be viewed, it gives you a true sense of Vienna.
