peek round my room.

i got some new bedding put on today.. so i took a few pictures of my room and some things in it.

here's my photo wall, the majority of these pictures were taken on film.. either disposable cameras or from my canon ae-1 35mm film slr camera. favourite part of my room, but some of my all time favourite pictures that couldn't not be included i got printed out too..

this is my favourite mirror which i bought myself, and my very messy dressing table.. you can very rarely see the surface of it. there's also my little heart blackboard and sparkly heart, which my mam got me as a surprise one day when i felt really down.

close up of the new duvet cover..

behind my door is my bag collection, well some of it... all the others (the big totes and shoppers) are hidden in my wardrobe - to big to hang up. i need to sort this out because my door doesn't open properly anymore. there's also a few thank you cards from people i've done photography jobs for.. weddings/anniversarys/fashion shoots.

here's the main bulk of my wardsrobe.. but the door isn't slid all the way along so there's some more hidden. i need a VERY good sort out cause i don't wear half of it.. i'm obsessed with buying clothes and blowing my payslip every single month.


here's the middle section of my wardrobe where i keep my coats and jackets (yes my wardrobe fills a wall ahaha) but this section has shelves for my college work/books/etc. in the little chest of drawers is lots of arty farty things like glue.. glitter and ribbons.

a close up of my vogue collection, havent missed an issue in almost three years now. another of my favourite parts of my room.


and lastly.. here's a few of my video's and really old cd's on the top shelf of the wardrobe.

that's basically my room.

okay i changed it!

i'm going to take some pictures later to put up today... in one of those moods.

anyway.. here's the sex scene from the gossip girl episode that influenced the name change.
mwahahahaha



cause i'm a right pervert.. kidding, i'm just happy blair and chuck finally got back together.

i've decided to change my blog name on here!

from baby goth girl... to war at the roses.

we're switching from the name of my favourite nail varnish to my favourite gossip girl episode :) but it's still me.

bonfire night

remember remember the 5th of november - bonfire night!

started off the day pretty glum to be honest. since my supposed-to-be-double-exposed prints for photography were, s h i t e. i had nothing to do for the whole two hours. yet somehow, i ended up doing with for three hours instead.

robin's gotten this negative scanner thing.. called an epson perfection ;) which scans in the photo negatives. so basically i cheated the double exposure and just scan two negatives in over the top of each other.. but it is soooooo time consuming.

finally got home to see that my little doggie had a vet collar !!!

it'll come off in a week, it's just to stop him from scratching at an infected bit of skin on the back of his neck.. bless him!

i then did some college work before i got ready to go to the firework display with gabby.

outfit post!
jacket: bershka
top: h&m
jeans: primark
boots: bershka

i also redid my nails... sparkly pink under barry m black instant nail effects.


gabs came up mine and we walked down.. i got some candy floss and a hot chocolate, then we waited at the front and i set up my camera + tripod.. we talked to galey for a while and after waiting a bit.. the fireworks began..

they were lush! better than last year by far...
i think i got some okay pictures too :) pretty pleased with the outcome.


here's a few...

i came home and decided against going to the pub.. i text sarah and she said it was completely dead. so i did uploaded my firework pictures and cuddles my poorly little doggy. facebooked and helped out a friend with her worries, hopefully i cheered her up. now it's bed time - i'm looking forward to tomorrow night! partypartyparty.

yesterday

missed my bus so i was 15 minutes late for media.

we skived the lesson anyway to go sit in the refectory eating toast and sitting in the library talking about all sorts with abby.

i then got the bus through to the galleries to pick up my prints.. which had finally been done! i failed miserably at double exposures though.. like seriously.




so i got the bus home and cheated some up on photoshop. i had a quick bowl of cereal for dinner and talked to gran for a while.. then got the bus back through to college. for a three hour graphics lesson.



we spent the whole three hours in the library scanning and photocopying stuff for our files.. i bumped into my cousin martin who i haven't seen for like, years. apparently he goes to shiney college on thursdays to learn theory about his job in engineering. it was raining, so he offered me a lift home.




i havent done much tonight, i couldn't be bothered to go to the pub. so i just stayed in and watched celebrity juice with me mam and brother and i also helped dominic with his geography homework. i miss doing geography.. i miss emily, stuart and adam in that class.. and i miss being really good at a subject. i wish i'd taken it at a level.. it was my only A* at gcse.


i apologise, this post is just scattered with my developed film pictures.
