this is how i spent my easter; sunbathing on my roof, playing heartfilled tunes and taking photographs in the evening sun (the golden hour). i do hope you all had as wonderful a time as i.

on a less positive side, i am the worst blogger ever. and i am deeply sorry for that. i have been recieving such wonderful feedback and i am so unbelievably grateful for all of your comments and i will try and get back to them all on the weekend. also, the photography post is coming along little by little (by little) and i will finish it and post it asap, but everything seems very scary and stressful at the moment as my gcses start in a week with a french speaking exam and oh my i'm terrified.

do you all mind if i try and post just one post a week? on the weekends, when i actually wear my own clothes, not the clothes somebody chose for me in a hurried attempt to conform us all with school uniform. and as the summer comes, expect posts and pictures and all sorts galore!

i have the prom in just under two months. i am not a prom girl. (i do have a date surprisingly enough and i can't freaking wait!) i have no idea what to wear. not too "prommy" if you get me?

i'll post soon + get back to you all soon,
frenchie
(i hope the sun is shining with you)

ps, i love you all.

ohhh how i adore this dress... today is the first time i've worn it and it just makes me feel so beautiful! i love the little flowered pattern, the pearl buttons and the soft fabric. i found it in this perfect little boutique in bristol with my friend katie. it did have a sash, but i decide to cut it off and belt it, because otherwise whenever i wore a jacket, the sash made horrible lumps in my back...

how white are my shoes? i almost need sunglasses to look at them!

i am currently working on a photography post.
so far, i am including
-how to get ideas
-retro/vintage editing
anddd i'm not sure what else.... any requests?

ohhh and how darling is this topshop bikini?
summer is tempting me...

lost, lost.

would you look at my tired eyes? how horrible... i want to sleep so badly, but i'm currently occupied by living my wild socialite life and revising revising revising... oh how i hate revision. you are only young once, and all my time is occupied (or should be) by doing stupid stupid revision. i should be out living, living my young life while it is still here. and yet there are demons in my head telling me to do school work because these exams will define the rest of my life. it all seems so trivial right now.

you see my shirt, well i was bored of revision and felt crazy (ish) so i customized it - fabric paint and safety pins! it's actually the same shirt i was wearing yesterday.

hannah and i went on a walk together. we got lost, climbed a cliff, almost got stranded on a beach in the water and walked about five miles in the dark.... kind of the funnest thing ever! i want an adventure, i want to get on a train and go nowhere, somewhere, anywhere unfamiliar and strange. ohh dreams.

ps, the next post i do will possibly be a photograph tutorial, anybody interested?!

i am happy. honestly, wholly happy. i've done a lot of thinking lately. too much. and i have realized, really realized that i am happy here, with the people i love, the places i love and this is truly my home. of course i want to see the world. that is what it is there for, and my heart aches for adventure. i am sorry i haven't been updating, but i've been busy busy lately.

fashionn.
my style is ever developing. i made a shirt last night and can't wait to show it off to you all. ohhhh, i play guitar and damn does it make me happy. i might youtube a video of me playing/singing for you all?
maybe.

all i do is take photographs, and when i am not taking them, i think of them. i want to be in vogue. it's a dream, but dreams do not hurt. and this dream is more than a dream, it is my life.

tomorrow, i will post more photographs. promise, promise.

outfit - h&m cardigan, h&m shirt, peacocks belt, topshop leggings, dotty p's shoes

honest

promise you, i promise
softly, softly
lines and angles
don't let go

I'm sorry I haven't blogged for almost a week.. Sometimes I feel like giving up with the whole thing. I am just so unbelievably stressed at the moment. I have so much on my plate. There's the whole decision with my dad, I have a drama exam in two weeks and I need to learn the script, I have so much coursework and my GCSE exams start in a few months and I am currently at the point of breaking down in tears during half of my lessons because nothing makes sense to me. Oh how I wish I was one of the people who had it easy, who could escape with no revision and no effort, but it's hard for me.

On the plus side, I am one step closer to actually making money from my photographs. I had two shoots on the weekend - I did them for free, but people seem to be taking interest in them and hopefully will request their own once I set up my website! I went shopping too on Friday. I've never been on my own before but I got up bright and early and took the train to one of my favourite cities - Bath. I bought lots of beautiful things and on the weekend I will try them all on and take beautiful photographs to show you all!

Oh, and also, I am happy. I think. It could just be one of those strange days where everything goes right and the sun doesn't stop shining, I don't stop smiling and he doesn't stop playing guitar.

I do hope you are all having a brilliant week!
All my love, F.

can you taste the summer?

I am so sorry I am such a bad blogger... I haven't posted for over a week! I've just been so busy with coursework, drama and attempting to hold myself together. I haven't been sleeping well at all and I just feel so horrible right now.

But I'm trying to turn it all around...
1. I am using a meditation cd to help me sleep
2. I am trying to drink eight glasses of water per day
3. I am not drinking tea at all.
4. I read about this oil cleansing on the internet here and started last night. I haven't seen any immediate results apart from baby soft skin but I will report back if I do!
5. I am trying to majorly improve my diet and my erratic eating because it is doing me no good. I'm actually considering going on a raw food diet because my Grandma has been on one for the past ten or so years and she is looking amazing. So I'm thinking I might give it a trial for a week and then see!

Ohhh and this weekend I might have four (!) photoshoots and I am so unbelievably excited!

Gotta go, I'm being kicked off!
Hope all is well with everyone :)
