Braids, prints and shoe porn
So I braided my hair myself YUP!
Shirt : charity shop
Skirt : Topshop
Bowler : Ebay
Necklace : Peacocks
Flatforms : Office
After spending about 10 hours over the last two days braiding my own hair I thought I'd share it and an outfit post with you guys. I missed my braids from before but I couldn't afford to get them professionally done so I bit the bullet, watched a few youtube videos and did it myself. The back is less than amazing, but hey I saved myself £60!!!
Even though I have only left the house for about two hours today I got all dressed up (been living in my Basketball Jersey for days ugghhh). I have only worn this shirt once since I bought it and I'm so glad I wore it today, I love the matching print tops and bottoms I've seen on the high street lately in Topshop and River-Island and thought I'd do my own thing but similar with monochrome prints. I LOVE the crazy ikat midi I got from Topshop, I don't wear skirts (always shorts) much during the day because I HATE HATE HATE leering and comments from weirdo men, but this is great I don't feel too exposed! The flatforms were only £8.50 from Office in the sale and I've been eyeing them up for MONTHS! So happy!
Anyway I'm back to being poor as me and my girls have just put a deposit down on a new flat YAY , so back to fantasising about nice things, I'll share my shoe porn with you ;)

Oh hey man :) What is it that you do?
I'm a freelance photographer, specializing in testing photography, after working in imaging at NEXT Model Management for over a year I decided to go freelance to focus 100% of my time on the thing i'm most passionate about.
What made you want to do photography?
I've had an incredible love of fashion, art, architecture and illustration since I was a kid. Photography seemed to be the subject that inspired me the most.
What’s the best thing about being a photographer?
Working with new people all the time, from all over the world. some of the make up artists and stylists i regularly work with are some of my closest friends, which is a massive plus.
Who’s the coolest person you have ever shot ?
Who’s the coolest person you have ever shot ?
I've had the opportunity to shoot some great people, some top commercial girls like Renata Kuerten, Olivia Garson, Tahlia, Nika Lauraitis, Kooples girl Sarah Warnaar, Polands Next Top Model winner Olga, huge campaign girls Daniela Braga the new Givenchy girl, Kolfinna the new topshop girl who dropped jaws in the shows in February earlier this year, incredible British new face Jaz Wasson the face of Jigsaw this summer, two amazing new faces to look out for globally Esther Heech & Wylie Hays. Boys-wise, Luke Brennan from sick new band Zulu, the list goes on! i've never photographed somebody who wasn't fantastic in their own way. I have great respect for everybody I work with.

What has been your shittest photography experience?
What has been your shittest photography experience?
I spent several hours in a taxi on the way to a shoot in Bank that should of only taken 15 mins, we had an 40 mins to shoot as the model had castings in the afternoon, it was pouring with rain and where we were shooting was blocked off for the majors parade. Found Trinity Square as an alternative location, where i discovered my SD cards were corrupt and i only had room for 70 photographs. I had to go through and delete any mediocre shots as we were shooting. Ironically, i ended up with some of the best images I had taken in my career, they used them in the New York and Paris Agencies as the models opening image etc.

What do you think about Buffalos hidden wedge trainers for men?
Weird, but depends on the man i guess. i'm sure some men out there will be able to pull them off.
What’s your fave telly?
What’s your fave telly?
I have a lot of love for Criminal Minds, CSI, Bones, Poirot etc... i'm in love with Tyra Banks so ANTM is a big hit with me. Jezza Kyle or Maury are always fun, but awful to watch when you're stressed.
