5.00 Days of Blau #5

This is my last blog post until my college exams are all done and dusted (but following me on Facebook and Twitter til then!). Here's a look at a few things I've gotten up to recently - playing with old vinyls, playing with gold cuffs and chains, playing with clothes, playing with ma'nails and trying to motivate myself to study!

Follow me on Bloglovin and don't miss out on my return xxx

Ulyana Sergeenko.

Designer/stylist/photographer/blogger.Sergeenko provides a romantic take on fashion, a unique spin on style and an eclectic mix of detail. She is on of daring one of the brave and refreshing. Her style pays tribute to the past, the present and the future, all at once and all interconnected in the fabrics and textures she uses.

Modern Studies.

A woman made of equal measures of charm, wit, intelligence and beauty. A woman as loyal as she is confident and as honourable as she is kind. A woman as capable of healing hearts as she is breaking them. A woman as ready to take on the world as she is  to hide away from it. A woman just like any other but a woman completely different. 

Fashion Major.

Elena Perminova.

Model/'IT' Girl.
Russian It Girl Perminova showcases her model figure and looks with quirky individual pieces with a polished yet 'undone' finish. Working her natural flair and an interesting attention to detail to create daring and refreshing pieces. From cropped platinum mane to perfectly tousled locks that tumble just so Perminova is one crush that will be around for a long time.

Éadaoin O'Driscoll.

Éadaoin O'Driscoll, a fashion design student at Limerick School of Art and Design, is proving herself to be an emerging Irish talent. With both technical and artistic skills, she creates pieces as hauntingly beautiful as they are enigmatically raw. There is fragile strength and a melancholic presence to her creations perhaps reflecting her  use of unexpected materials such as nails and latex and her sometimes surprising inspirations. Currently interning in London, Éadaoin says "I have always been interested in Fine Art and draw inspiration from the sculptures of George Harold, whose work I admire or his inventive use of materials. I like to combine exciting and unexpected textures with clean, often minimalist silhouettes." This is perhaps best showcased by this collection inspired by the dark and disturbing film "Shutter Island".

You Have to Wake Up.

"Creating textures that could reflect the inner turmoil of the lead character and draft patterns for garments that would reflect the surface appearance of control and order. I aimed to create a collection that would be a contradiction in itself between a crisp and clinical look and erratic and textured to symbolise the two personalities at play." -  Éadaoin O'Driscoll

I was both delighted and honored to recently receive a stunning and creative neckpiece by the talented and very lovely designer herself. It stands tribute to her creative vision and artistic strength.I can't wait to style it!

Marry a Music Man.

As more and more festival line-ups are being announced and tickets going on sale I can't help but daydream about becoming a festival nomad and running away with the music folk. Could I be a seamstress for the band? Could I be a musical muse, a backstage lover or an on-stage groover? Could I be a bohemian mistress- a braided maiden and a barefoot queen? Could I roam forever and grew old - an eternal groupie and a long-time fan? Definitely.

Editor's Picks: April.

My style in general is often described as being quite 'school girl' in its foundations, and a school girl at a naval base at that! I like the simplicity of the uniform-esque structures, the clean lines, the neat pleats, the prim socks and the .All this and the optional forgotten charm of an Enid Blyton novel with its hidden adventure, mystery and ginger beer. Further fuelled by the abundance of pinafores, smocks and kilts, not to mention the divine display from the Miu Miu AW13 collection I'm already reaching for my satchel and socks.

My Moon My Man.

The naivety of a woman who only ever loved one man. A beauty jilted by the moon, a fair creature who loved the stars that burned her. Her lunar lover who waxed and waned only to eclipse her heart. His force affecting the waters within her, pulling her blood towards him as the moon calls the ocean. Her man on the moon who left her for his dark side.

5.00 Days of Blau #4

So here's a glimpse of what I've been up to recently. Rediscovering my old scrapbooks, floral dress from Mela Loves London at Awear, necklace from Eclectic Eccentricity,  girls night out - I wore a Kate Moss x Topshop dress and Topshop necklace, Vivienne Westwood earrings, new jeans Levi 501s, coming second in a charity Friends quiz, vintage Pentax camera and attending a fashion event at Amity.

A Day In The Life.

To Be Adored SS13.


It was her birthday; a square on a calendar, a number amongst numbers. A sense of flattened anticipation creeps around her, her mind finding grey clouds above as she aimlessly strolled from street to street. 'Where are you today? Will you even think of me at all?' she thought.

In the afternoon the party gathered but she felt like a lost soul cast adrift a sea of icebergs. He was the only one she wanted to see, to hear from today, the only one that's never here. Another year and she just tortured herself again. How many candles must she blow out before her impossible wish comes true?

At night she felt his arms move around her, his smooth voice hushing all her doubts away.  She nestled into him as her stroked her hair, breathing in his musk as he lulled her to sleep. "You’re my favourite pillow", she whispered. "Well you just happen to be my favourite blanket” he smiled and replied. One kiss, thirty minutes of bliss, then he was gone.
