Tea? Drinker

Tessa Rose & Kirsty

Bloggers making fascinators & headbands...

Giant teacup! But not filled with tea...

Table decor and Hair demonstration

Beautiful venue and London elephant trail

I'm sorry this is so belated...I have quite a lot of catching up to do!

I promised you all some coverage from the VIP Aussie Party so here it is :)

[for those of you who don't know I'm an 'Aussie Angel']

My sister, whatwasfoundthere.blogspot.com, and I spent the day in London shopping, getting cupcakes from the Hummingbird Bakery (YUM) and going to the V&A. We then met up with the lovely Kirsty, fashionchampagne.blogspot.com, before heading over to the party venue!

[There was also a lot of spotting the London elephant trail...]

The theme was Mad Hatters Tea Party, held for the 'frizzy' hair group. It was held in the most beautiful venue; Mews of Mayfair. We were in the chef's dining room which had maps covering the walls.

We were welcomed by Emma, the lovely organiser, before meeting some fellow bloggers.

Champagne was served, along with the most delicious canapes. Yum yum yum.

Then there was gin or rum punch to choose from held in giant teacups and served into our smaller ones. The table was covered with jars of flying saucer sweets, feathers, and cupcake stands. The room and theme were magical.

Then onto the fun part! A hair demonstration was given on Tessa Rose, and the end result was really cool; something I might try myself! We all swapped tips whilst this went on.

Then we were brought into a fascinator / headband making course which was a really interesting thing to learn, and it was a lot of fun. I'm still finishing off mine as unfortunately we had to leave a little early...but I'll post photos!

lots of love x

Hello lovely, happy, summery people. I have had the best final few days at college.

Last night the girls headed over to our friend Lizzie's for swimming, Chinese and some wino.

It was the perfect ending to many years at my school/college.

Now I'm just left with A Levels...

Thanks to this post it's pretty obvious I've FINALLY got my internet back! :)

So I'll be back to posting. & tomorrow I will get to returning all your comments from the past two posts. Sorry it's taken so long. Thank you also to all you new followers. Some of your blog links don't appear so feel free to leave a comment so I can find you!

[So looking forward to summer & festival season!]

Sorry all for lack of posting.

My internet's down which is NOT cool when you're a freelance writer/blogger/student.

Otherwise I'm in the middle of a three day exam, help!

Anyway, I'm currently posting from Mike's laptop. Which also means I don't have any of my photos or images. It gets worse and worse ;)

HOWEVER, I thought I'd give you all a taster of what's coming up as soon as I can get my internet working:

Main helper at a fashion show. Expect backstage photos & gossip.

Another internship to add to the future Intern Diaries

VIP Aussie Party

Street Style Photos from London

Some new articles

and much more!

:)

I've also been getting some great emails that I hope to share. And thank you!! to the one's from you fellow bloggers / followers!

Apologies also to all the lovely comment-ers. I'll make this my priority when I have some more internet time!

Also hopefully expect a giveaway :)

lots of love

So for my A Level textiles the theme is 'Illusion'. This led to ideas on children's stories and I eventually ended up with 'Peter and the Wolf'. As part of this I did a mini 'photoshoot' as some response work. I was partly inspired by the Topshop Unique AW10 Show:

My Photos...

[In the story the wolf gets caught by rope hanging from a tree...I'm not doing this just for the hell of it ;)]

Unfortunately I don't have a big ol' wolf's head lying around, and I'm not a major fur girl.

However I do have a beautiful fake fur wrap that Mike's mum got be for my birthday from Laura Ashley! And I went for it with the hair and make up... that hair took a LONG time to unravel, the things I do for A Levels.

It was great fun doing it and I'm pretty pleased with the photos, even if they're not really really wolf-like...

Anyway, what do you guys think?

Some more surprises for tomorrow / the weekend for you all!
