Although we're apart, you're part of my heart ♡

Last night, I took a couple of photographs for my Photography class. My chosen theme is Fairytales, so this involved me going to a forest-type place near my house dressed in my mother's wedding tiara, and I'm pretty happy about how my photos turned out! Here's a few of my favourites;



So, anyway, yes, I thought I'd share those x)

Today my outfit was inspired by witches and autumn teen witch vibes.
My mother gave me her old ankle length black velvet dress, which i'm kind of in love with. It's so so pretty, I wore it to college and got a bunch of compliments from friends, but I did feel a little naked. It's quite grown up and feels like it clings to my tummy sometimes (but the dress is super baggy, so this is just me being super self concious)

It's originally from BHS :-)


I know this photo doesn't do it justice but hey, it's the best I can do.
 

This shows more of the velvet ^
It's quite a horrible feeling when you brush crumbs off yourself or whatever, but that's what happens with velvet! Deal with it, Sami!



 Have a picture Gianne took of me today, I was pretending to be the monster from Pan's Labrynth.
I'm just wearing a bunch of bracelets, the two Hinduism ones are from Accessorize and my flower headband is from a shop in Glastonbury.

Hope you enjoyed this outfit :-)

Greetings and Salutations.

HAPPY OCTOBER!

I know this is kind of late, but huzzah! It's October, my favourite month if I had to chose!
I've been busy soaking up the autumn vibes and wondering if I could collect enough leaves to make a collage. (Pictures if that ever happens)
Anyway, here's some things I've gotten up to since my last post!
 

Got attacked by my camera-obsessed friend Gianne and ended up getting my photo taken by her a couple times... This was during Open Evening at my college, which was actually really fun to do, it got dark, and i don't know about you but there's something really lovely about being at a school or a college during the night.
Here's another picture she took of me, I'll tell you what i wore below it.


Skull headband (made by me), can ring pull necklace (made by me), turquoise/blue jumper (H&M Sale, £3), black lace skirt (New Look, given to me by my sister), boots (actually my mum's, from Clarks)

 
I drew a Frankenweenie drawing of Victor and his dog Sparky, as I am so excited to see it! I can't wait! If I had my way I'd see it tonight (It came out today) but for various reasons, I'll have to wait till Saturday when I can see it with a couple of my friends. The dress code is going to be "Black and White" seeing as it's a black and white film and at the Premiere and the 'Fantastic Fest 2012', pretty much all the actors were in black and white! 
(Winona Ryder looked so stunning, I think I should make/buy a dress like hers below)

(Tim Burton, Winona Ryder and Martin Landau)

 Had cuddles with my dog Ollie ♡ 


And attempted a Marie Antoinette hairstyle (Yes, I failed. But this was the best I could do!)

So, I hope everyone's been having a wonderful October.
College work has made it less fun but I'm trying not to let that ruin my favourite time of the year. I'm so excited about Halloween, I'm thinking of being Mrs Lovett!
