My Camera + Photography


One thing I really need to do after Christmas (other than lose half my body weight) is to start taking more photo's for my blog and to get out with my camera more!
Since starting uni I've hardly been out with my camera and I really miss it!

I own a Canon EOS 550D which looks like this:





It has an 18MP sensor and I paid £500 for it last year but i think you can get it for around £450 in most places now.


I am going to aim in the new year to take all the photos for my blog myself. It may mean that I don't quite get a post up daily because I like all my posts to have images with them and I can see it being difficult to take photos daily and manage to get all my uni work done! I will try my hardest though cause I do love daily blogging! 


I mainly shoot landscapes but also do some portraiture. I think photography is a great way to express yourself artistically whilst getting outside and seeing some amazing places! I loved getting out this summer with my camera and here are a few shots that I took over this summer



Anyone here interested in photography? I'd love to see your work! Drop me a link below and I'll definitely check it out.

My Christmas Wishlist 2013

I just can't shake this christmassy feeling this year and I'm loving it!! Doing the Christmas tag yesterday inspired me to blog about my Christmas wishlist! Here's my top 10 picks for this year right down from 10 to my number 1 wish!!. If anyone is in touch with Santa, send him here ;) thanks!



10. MAC - Ruby Woo
I have been lusting after this for the longest time and I somehow always end up buying a different shade! At least if Santa brings it then I can't say no!!

9.  Pandora Charm
My boyfriend bought me my Pandora bracelet for my 18th birthday along with 3 charms and since then i have received one each year from my parents. I don't have any dangly (is that even a word?!) charms and I would LOVE one for Christmas this year!

8. Fluffy Slippers!
One of my favourite things to do at Christmas is curl up and watch a film with my duvet and SLIPPERS!!! The pair I'm using at the moment are looking a bit tired now so i would LOVE some new ones to snuggle up in on boxing day!
7. Doc Martens - Serena
I have absolutely fallen in LOVE with these!!! I can't say much more about the matter to be honest. How warm will these be?! I'm gonna throw this out there and be totally controversial but I really don't like wearing UGG's. They look great on some people but with my legs not exactly matchstick width they just don't look right so these are a perfect alternative. My black leather docs are my staple shoe choice and I would LOVE these!!


6. Jewel Candle
I'm already a massive fan of scented candles and i especially love the christmas scents so when I watched Mammaful zo's video reviewing these I fell in LOVE I really like the idea of giving someone a gift that's more than a candle and not knowing yourself what's really in it. I'm definitely going to be buying these for my friends birthdays now I know about them but I would love to try out the scents for myself this Christmas!



5. Perfume - Ghost Sweetheart
This is my favourite scent of all time and the price really suits my student budget! This was my first Christmas present from my boyfriend along with a necklace so not only does it smell amazing but it also reminds me of him. It's really nice as a daytime perfume and I've just used the last drop so hopefully Santa brings me some more this year!

4. Marc Jacobs watch
Ok so this is a little out of Santa's price range but I really can't stop looking at it! I was torn between the silver and crystal one and this one but I've fallen in LOVE with this one! Shame there's a budget!I think I'm gonna have to save up and treat myself next year!

3. Nutribullet
Being a student I find it really difficult to keep veggies fresh and use them all without wasting money. This usually means that I end up eating microwave rubbish or just salad for a healthy meal. I tried a juicer and a smoothie maker but nothing would get rid of the horrible pulp stuff and seeds. I really want the nutribullet as it completely pulverizes the fruit/veg instead of just blending it. I would LOVE to be able to throw all my veggies in and make a juice to take to my lectures!

2.The Great Gatsby 3D
This film was the highlight of my year to be perfectly honest. I read the book in college and loved it and the film was even better. Since we have a 3D TV I really want to watch it in 3D whenever I feel like a film afternoon/night! Definitely a close call for the top spot on my list!


1. Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette!!!!!!
You didn't think I was gonna leave this out did you?!?! I read the announcement for this during an Advertising lecture and very nearly ran to the train station to go to Liverpool and buy it! My student budget didn't quite agree with my reaction and so i just popped it on my christmas list instead!! I LOVE the colors and I'm obsessed with reviews and tutorials! This is gonna be another cheeky purchase if Santa doesn't leave it under the tree this year!!



What's on your Christmas list this year? Drop me a comment below I'd LOVE to know!!

The Christmas Tag

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I've had such a long day Christmas Shopping and watching movies with my boyfriend so I figured I would have some fun doing this instead of a huge post. I'd love to see you're answers so link your blogs below!!!!





1. What is your favourite Christmas song?

This is a difficult one!!I would have to say Fairytale Of New York by The Pogues simply because i have so many memories of my mum and dad singing it when i was little.


2. Which is your favourite festive drink?

Oooooo in alcohol terms it would have to be Southern Comfort....I know its not a christmas drink per se but i mainly drink it at christmas. Non alcoholic would be simply hot chocolate. I never really drink that until christmas time but i love snuggling up watching a film with a nice Hot Chocolate! With marshmallows of course!


3. Do you have a favourite Christmas film?

Oh there are so many!! Elf is a definite. Christmas doesn't start till i've watched elf! Home Alone is definitely my favourite for just sitting and watching with my family and i always seem to watch Mary Poppins too!


4. What is at the top of your Christmas wish-list this year?

I have so many things on my list to Santa! I need the Naked 3 palette so badly! Erm...Marc Jacobs watch, Kate Spade purse, Pandora charms..we'll see how all that comes along in my Christmas Haul haha...I should be so lucky!!


5. What is your favourite festive makeup or nail art look?

I absolutely love glitter top coats for my nails and a deep red/purple lip. I also really love more metallic eyeshadows and if i'm heading out then a nice bit of glitter!!


6. What is your favourite outfit at Christmas time? (LBD? Christmas jumper? PJ's?)

Christmas for me is definitely time to be cosy and comfy! I love fluffy PJ's and big chunky knit jumpers! I don't actually own a Christmas Jumper (I know!!!) but i'm gonna have to invest in one! I love wearing sparkly dresses if i go out and dressing up a little bit on christmas day too!!


7. Would you rather play out in the snow or enjoy it from inside with the fire and a cuppa?

I love a bit of both to be honest. I'm the first to grab the sledges if it's snowing but after a long day i love curling up on the sofa with a hot drink, my boyfriend and my duvet! Bliss!


8. Wrapping presents - love or loathe? 

I can't lie..I LOVE wrapping! I wrap everything for my parents too. (apart from my presents of course!) I love wrapping everything in cute ribbons and bows It takes me ages but i just sit in front of the TV for hours!



9. What is your favourite Christmassy food? 

Mince Pies. I absolutely love Mince Pies. It's that simple.



10. What is your favourite thing about Christmas? 

Family time. My parents work really long hours and with my boyfriend and myself both being at uni i don't get to see his family much normally either so Christmas for me is all about spending loads of time with family and getting into the Christmas spirit. It's the most wonderful time of the year!


I tag you all!!!

LOVE
