Fashion Show

On Tuesday, my uni friends and I went along to a Fashion Show in Edinburgh, Run by OHH FASHION. Aswell as visiting the 'Tony Cragg Exhibiton' at the Scottish National Gallery of Mordern Art, in edinburgh - which by the way, is NOT the gallery close to the bus station. (I found this out after my 40minute treck to find it)

The Fashion Show doors opened at 7 and the show finished about 9.45.. though by the time we got the bus back to GalaLand it was around 12.30 and with class the next day It was a long day but definetly work it, especially as it was my first fashion show, since being an official fashion student..

It was an excillent experience with local designers and stores around Edinburgh, and although i wasnt a 'dresser' backstage, like some of my university friends go the chance to do, I still managed to get the goss on the behind the scene antics. - All in all an excellent day out.

Thought id do a post with some of the pictures i managed to get, along with me FINALLY finding the Exhibition, this was an accomplshment.

 Now theres nothing wrong with windswept hair - the treak took it out of me..

Trip to LONDON

While im here, i thought id post about my trip i took to London at the end of July.

My friend and I had decided that we were going to visit London before going of to different University's, and since i had never been to London, though always wanted to go(I know, shocking, I used to be ashamed to say it) so I thought it would be a great idea. Having saved up my pennies,

We booked the hotel and the train, all the way from Scotland, to London Euston. I was overly excited to finally get to see the sights that ive only ever seen from movies or television programmes.

**Oxford Street, Hyde Park, SHOPPING, Wicked(the musical), Bus Tour..**

We done it all.. and here are some pictures from my trip.

 

Underground. I LOVE THE RUSH OF LONDON

Uni Project

So i havent posted in a while, still getting used to uni life(cooking,cleaning,general life skills) aswell as the work load.. But ive managed to find time to make my second post - i promise ill get into it eventually.

So the week before I moved in, I got an e-mail setting us a project, which we were to hand in the first week of the semester. We basically had to interview ourselves and take a picture and present it in the styles of i-D magazine. I had to hand in my final layout, so I am unable to post my page as a finished sheet, though once i get my magazine page back i will be sure to post it.
I hope after reading this you will know a little more about me.
And hopefully like it!
