Continuity.

Carrying on from the pictures I posted earlier of my friends and I in London, my friend Charlotte, who writes a blog, Lay Down I Think I Love You, took some photos on her disposable camera. 

(doesn't the door look like the one in Inception?) 

These were taken on a disposable camera, aka my favourite way to take photos. 

Proximity

One of things I really love about my university is just how close to London I am. Last week, my friends and I decided on a whim to go up to the Tate Modern and to see some sights. It's so nice to be a 20 minute train ride away from London instead of a 90 minute one. 

These photos of Charlotte and I on the Millennium Bridge were taken with the Hipstamatic iPhone app. While Charlotte was dressed sensibly in her lovely coat, I was freezing in my aviator jacket; it may be stylish, its not warm. Then again, it is from Primark and I don't really expect anything I buy from there to be of high quality. 

Typist

I was given this type writer necklace for Christmas and I have barely taken it off, so much so that I can't believe it hasn't appeared on here yet. It's from Topshop, but I can't find it on the website. It so cute and it goes with just about anything. If I saw it in a shop, I would have picked it up and admired it, but probably wouldn't have bought it, so it goes to show how things can be surprising. 

I think the detail on the type writer is exquisite - there are actually words on the piece of paper and letters engraved into the keys.

I'm so bored of wearing tights

I took this picture at home over Christmas, just as all the snow was beginning to melt. You wouldn't think it was -3 degrees outside. The dress I'm wearing is from Topshop and its a dream. I can't wear it until I can wear it outside with bare legs and little black pumps. 

Rough Trade

My friend and I went to Rough Trade East in Brick Lane a couple of days ago, and while we were there we got our photos taken in the photo booth.

If only all photo booths, particularly the ones for passport photos, were as flattering as this. 

Winging it

I was given this gorgeous ring for Christmas. It's one of those ones that has two loops for your fingers. While it is a brilliant piece of design (the wing is like a locket, it folds out so you have two wings on your hand instead of one), it is very difficult to type with, as your fingers don't stretch as far. I wore it to work and really messed up the muscles in my arm. 

It's from Topshop (can't find it on the website) and while it is lovely it broke on New Years Eve (for no apparent reason). I'd definitely give a double finger ring another go, but I'd probably go for one less likely to fall apart so quickly. 

Home Sweet Home

I go back to university soon and while I'm looking forward to going back (seeing my friends, no curfew, no dog hair on my clothes, having my entire shoe collection), there are definitely some things I'm going to miss about being at home. Namely; my family, my pets, having my meals cooked for me, having me laundry done, a clean house, TV, and my lovely bedroom, which I got Just Right about three days before I left for university. 

I think the bookshelves are my favourite part of my room. I've about 50 more books, 20 more magazines and a lot more DVDs in my flat at university, so for once, my shelves aren't ridiculously cluttered.
