Birthday Girl ♥

Have not much to say..I will definitely miss being 19! :(

Black&white fashion shoot

• When: It was somewhere in between summer and autumn, can't remember exactly because it took ages until I finally got all the images.
• Where: Mayfield Studio, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
• Photographer: Martin Smith. 
• Theme/Inspiration: The link is no longer working, but brief sounded something like this: Wear something black, grey or white and as plain as possible, this is about you as the subject, not the clothes, no make up, hair down and a little messy. The most important thing is the natural and 'deconstructed' look and feel.
• Clothes - simple - combination of black, white & denim pieces. Short denim shorts from label; high-wasted denim shorts, Topshop; denim vest, RiverIsland; white shirt from Milano, Italy; black jeans, Bershka;  white mini skirt - h&m (all my own)

 

All in all, I felt really myself in this natural look. Some of them comented me being Barbara's Palvin lookalike in these pictures - if so -I don't mind at all. Barbara is even same age as me. She's definitely one of those new fashion world faces I like at the moment.

It was all what I wanted, but I've lost it.. somehow

No matter how hard the task may seem. Don't give up your plans, don't give up your dreams. No broken bridges, can turn us around,cause what we're searchin' for, will soon be found.

 You never know how strong and/but at the same time weak you may appear.

Another fashion shoot! "Why do all good things come to and end?"

When you find someone you really love, you should never let them go, no matter what.. 

  

About the shoot:

Photographer: Dave Emmerson

Where: Newcastle, Uited Kingdom

I've never guessed that wearing 4-5 sizes' bigger than usualy blouse could be so fun! That  was uk size 16.   Monsoon. Weather was just perfect. But I ended up my day wet anyway, because that was raining in Sunderland when I came back from Newcastle  and plus the bus (yes, the bus, that was funny that day when I came to metro station it was written:"no metro service today" , that was the first time  I had to go there by bus.) so it stopped not near where I needed.

About the feelings that inspired the shoot:

Some people have no idea (have they?) how important for somebody they might be.

This is my summer 2011; album, which will slowly be filled with every single photo inspired by feelings for you.

Not much needs to be added. Interpret it as you like. It is always true.

This week brought me achy surprises and challenges. You never know what can happen..  And sometimes you find it hard.
I WAS VERY BUSY, THOUGH. I was working several nights (late bartender's job hours are really challenging sometimes) and I had 2 shoots in Newcastle and there are 2 more to go.  

 All hard moments in your life touches your full body, you start living in your own planet somewhere outside the world where emotions want to escape. Such things mature personality and you start to understand what is the most important for you in your life. 

And there is one more not planned and unexpected but lovely thing I CAN'T  stop thinking about--

-- 

It's been a beautiful day. 

I spend it with my lovely roommates Eileen and Helen. 

We were walking around the empty streets and discovering beautiful places. We discovered this beautiful fairytale' inspired background, who would have thought, but near the church. Ahhh, I wish I have a chance for such lovely walks and lazy days more often!

 

Holidays with food! ♥ (photography portfolio)

 

>

 

  Let me introduce you to my new roommates- Mejing Zhang (Helen), 23 and Ximeng Zhang (Eileen), 24. They're both in their master's degree studying HR. They have just moved to live together with me on 7th of April and since then we spend our free-time together. Cooking time- not an exception.  We even have settled a timetable for us to know who's turn to cook; that was very sudden but an interesting idea, what we continue to follow nearly one month now.   

 

 

There are some interesting things about my roommates eating habits I had to get used to. Firstly, whatever they eat, there's always a separate little&lovely bowl with rise and plus they use chopsticks, doesn't matter how impossible that mission sometimes may look. Everything was so new and unusual first to be honest,  which is why probably it even tasted nicer. I was struggling using chopsticks when I first tried, but I'm getting used to it now. Their special rise cooking equipment- a massive rise making machine is worth mentioning too. It takes a lot of space in our little but  lovely kitchen, but I'd never complain about that as I guess it's a very important thing for them two- Eileen even brought it from China. 

I've never guessed that cooking could be such a delight. Presenting food as an art and making  photographs of how it looks like in the plate before eating has become one more little habit that we follow altogether. Experimenting with food, new products  and spicy, sometimes exotic sauces enriched our holidays leaving a very happy stomach. thank you, girls ♥

Noonday in the park :]

 

 

 

 

  

Murray Park, Sunderland

I could spend hours in the park when it's such a nice weather.

 Even though winter left north-east England long ago, it only recently the real feeling of spring has arrived!:)

Bright colorful flowers,  fresh air brought me lots of joy. I feel full of optimism and fresh ideas.
Special thanks for my friend Ai, who shared four lovely hours with me. God bless ya! ;D

MY PORTFOLIO - Student Style/ Street fashion photography

 

 Melissa - (20) 3rd year Journalism and English student from Sunderland  'I love vintage clothing because I think it gives you an eclectic style. Edie Sedgwick is one of my fashion idols.'

 

Ai Hayeshi-  (22) 3^rd year Magazine Journalism student from Japan : 'Especially I like this scarf because it adds essence of feminine and I gonna feel spring has come here.'

Laura - (20) 3^rd year Journalism and Psychology student from South Shields : 'I love mixing tailored items with more edgy styles. Teaming a blazer with leather shorts gives a smart plus modern look.'

 

Li Jing (24years) 3^rd year Business Management student  Coat and scarf- from Japan.  

(I couldn't manage to make her talk in English;/ Instead of writing down to my notebook where she bought her clothes from, she wrote me her name, as she didn't understand what I was asking:D)

 Katrina- (19) History student from Co. Durham: 'I love heels; could never go a day without them. I'm a sales girl, I love wearing cheap clothes but making them to look pricey.'

 

 Nic - (20) 2nd year Magazine Journalism student from Middlesbrough: 'I'm not really inspired by people, how I dress has more to do with the need to look smart but feel comfortable. I like people to take me seriously and not judge me too much by what I am wearing. Also, it's nice to be able to go straight from uni to a bar or restaurant and not get changed before. '

 Hu Jie (Preff. English name- Lisa)- (23) Business Management student from China. 'I like dressing like this and make myself to feel comfortable'
