CLIMBING UP THE WALLS.

A few photos from my very relaxing and much needed holiday in Majorca. After a few days of lazing around in the sun we eventually ventured out to the capital city of Palma which, as you can see above, is made up of some absolutely stunning architecture. The shape of the buildings and decorative carvings also handily fit in brilliantly with my current uni project theme of Renaissance architecture so I managed to do some 'research' while sunning myself at the same time!

As soon as I landed back in England, it was back to reality; i.e the start of my third year at University and all the madness and chaos that goes along with it...so far that's included a heatwave, spending wayyy too much money in Topshop, minimal work and stupid amount of drinking...its gonna be a good year. 

MAKES ME FEEL FINE.

This time tomorrow I will be in Majorca lying on a beach, drinking Fanta Lemon, eating an ice lolly, reading books and relaxing. A much needed break after four months of full time work and before my impending return to university next week.

 Seven days of sunshine. I cannot wait. 

WAVE TO YESTERDAY.

On this lovely, sunny Monday, I am pretending to do uni work..i.e sunbathing in my garden, catching up on this months magazines and calling it 'research' and apparently obsessing over Natalia Vodianova.

Magazine galore |  Natalia Vodianova for Love magazine Issue 6 by Alasdair McLellan | 'Funky Fuschia' nails | Masculine shapes paired with feminine sheer fabrics at Stella McCartney |

Happy Monday!

Current fashion inspiration: Italian summer style vs Renaissance architecture.

laid back shapes. easy glamour. light knitwear and midi skirt combinations. flashes of decorative prints. colour and print clashes. masculine shapes. and acres of tanned flesh.

it's all about classic dressing with a Mediterranean edge.
- the starting point for my third year womenswear collection...lets see where this leads me.

PROMISE IM WORTHY.

A few photos from the three days I spent in the middle of the Devonshire countryside.
Although I spent half of my childhood there, this time I think I really appreciated the beautiful surroundings...
Rolling green hills leading into russet coloured cliffs, azure waters, grand country houses, stunning summer roses, afternoon cream teas and proper English pebbly beaches...

the best part of the weekend was visiting one of my favourite places in the world, Killerton National Trust Park; and reliving my early years by carrying on the time honoured tradition of jumping on and off all statues/monuments and rolling down every hill we find...its the simple things in life.

Off on holiday at 4am tomorrow for 10 much needed days in the sun. 

After what can only be described as monsoon rainfall at Parklife Festival in Manchester this weekend, I am more than ready for abit of sunshine, dips in the ocean, ice lollies and most importantly...getting a tan!

SEEYA England.
