The Attic Presents...

Hello 2012 how are you! Onto business now; i recently took part in an exhibition in Leicester along with other local artists. I have recently become a member of The Attic. A non profiting art studio and collective, providing support and promotion for new artists. 

Over the first three weeks of January we have taken over The Pedestrian Gallery to not only give artists the opportunity to exhibit but to also raise more awareness of local artists, help new artists, answer any queries and question and make people more aware of the work The Attic is doing.

One Piece

These are certainly a guilty pleasure of mine and perfect for this cold weather. Can you think of anything better than snuggling up on a cold night in one of these babies! I thought not. So imagine the jealousy that ran through me when the email dropped in my inbox telling me that One Piece has a new shop at Boxpark, the new shopping complex close to Shoreditch station. Yes all you lucky Londoners can now shop these bad boys in person! 

Opening on December 1st Boxpark is the UK's first pop-up store for One Piece.

Getting in the Halloween spirit with blood nails.

Hey Boy

                  

Not sure if this combination of stripes and my lovely Boy London leggings actually goes together or not but i'm pretty sure i don't care either way!

Speckle

Got this lovely dress from Toppers a couple of weeks ago. It is literally the comfiest thing ever and it's so nice to just be able to put one piece on. I love the speckle grey as well. It's so easy to dress up or down. I've wore it with everything from my body chain and ballet pumps to a faux fur collar and heeled chelsea boots. I even left a review on the website, that's how impressed i was!

Long Shot

An image heavy outfit post today. After seeing what Kylie from Nice and Shiny posted about blog photographs the other day i'm definately on her side with this! The main reason i use this blog is to document what i wear, so i know more than anything how i circulate my clothes, if anyone else likes what i post and wear well that's fine by me. As a Fine Art photographer i always believe my photos have to be perfect, even though these are completely different from my usual subject matter. I know i haven't got the space in my house to post perfect pictures so i don't know why i keep putting off photographing all together. I love blogs that have perfect photos but then again i don't turn my nose up at blogs that don't. Apparently i was going for a cross between Gene Vincent (ask your parents!) and a Cabaret extra which i think i'm ok with. I literally couldn't look more like a boy if i tried.

I'd like to introduce you to my amazing new coat too. I haven't bought a winter coat in about 3 years and usually suffer through the winter months in just my trusty leather jacket and a few more layers but decided i just couldn't do it again this year! It was kinda expensive for my budget but this is the only one i plan on buying for a long time. It came with a faux fur detachable collar too which is great for adding to my leather jacket or taking off the coat on warmer cold days (that makes sense right?) such as today. I've had a few compliments on it already which is just fine by me!
