The Lovely Bones

Rather than having lazy hazy Sundays as is traditionally expected on this 'Roast Dinner' day, I like to end my week with creative sparks. Particularly as I'm about to go to a car boot sale this morning in the hope of finding second hand gems and treasures to breath life back into. So with Spring's influence creating a beautiful fresh patchwork in the fields behind my house, I'm hoping to play around with new photography styles to showcase my clothes and countryside routes. I haven't got much experience behind the lens, but am constantly inspired by the concepts and editorial ideas that frame a shoot. Maybe it symbolises the sun slowly cracking into light outside, but I'm so drawn to Paolo Roversi's breathtaking style. With a faded, tragic charm that mixes sinister and sensual emotion, his photos look like vintage scrolls from dark fantasy depths. Music also soundtracks my creative ways, and Patrick Wolf is the avant garde poet who enchants me without fail. So it's time to find some magic at the market now!

  3. I saw the first half of it cheekily online before my laptop froze, but what I saw of it was an enchanting and colourful spectacle! I like how a film that is so dark can also be so beautiful at the same time!

  6. The car boot sale is in Cheltenham, and I love the unexpected and erratic bags of clothes I come home with everytime. Adding to my wardrobe that's now bursting at the edges is an egyptian stle jacket that has an 'MGMT/Aladdin' feel to it. And I'm the proud owner of some military cadet boots. I wonder if the army are ever informed that their footwear is 'very in' at the moment, haha.

    Will post pictures of me lazing in the sun soaked fields soon! Hope your all well
