Alice and I in Surrey

I have barely stopped for the last month, I have been working up to 60 hour weeks for the designer Matt Wingfield helping him make all the window displays for Topshop, as well as attending school, doing all the school set projects and trying to create my website and also working at my part time job at Next and then lastly trying to have a social life, It has not always been easy but iv done it and i feel quite proud and to celebrate on our week off from school i have come home to relax a bit (and finish all my school work) and Alice decided to come with me yay shes officially part of my family makes me smile loads! Here are a few pics from our day of thrifting and laughing around London :)

A Beautiful book found on Snow Day

An amazing day followed by being showed this beautiful book on wallpaper and printing from 1899-1941, it is so beautiful, this sort of design really inspires me, its classic and never seems to age. The graphics on the contents pages are amazing and the type throughout is sensitive and clear. I love this book :)

Being a child again

I forgot how fearless kids are, for my friends 21st we went to a kids play park/ jungle gym and were allowed alcohol and then set games to play, there was an assault course, lazer quest and many more! It started at 9.30pm and went on until 7am! I am def feeling very bruised and very tired but very happy I faced my fear and went down the huge slide pictured below! big smiles :)
