Pinterest.

I just wanted to talk a little bit about Pinterest. Firstly i think its amazing and for those of you who don’t know what it is or just haven’t created an account -let me give you the low down. Pinterest is a web application where you can store, save and share images, links and inspiration that you find anywhere on the internet. When you come across an article you want to read again later or a recipe you want to try for dinner or even an image that shows exactly how you want your hair cut Pinterest allows you to keep all these clippings together. Before i would bookmark some pages or save images to my laptop with Pinterest everything is now all in one place.

Pinterest is essential a pin board for the web. Read something you want to see again- just stick a pin in it.
As well as being able to Pin the things you are interest in, you can follow friends and bloggers and view their boards as well. You can then repin things you like to your own boards.

Here’s a snapshot of my Fashion Board. See, so easy and clear; everything I view, like and love in one place. If your redoing your bathroom or your after DIY tips and tricks Pinterest is perfect. Say you are getting your hair cut so you turn to google for some photo inspiration but you know when the images are just a little bit naff and out dated and just not quite what you are looking for. I garentee search the same thing on Pintrest and the images will be exactly what you are looking for. 
If you want to follow me and see where I get my inspiration from feel free the link is below.
And why not create an account and start your own board. Happy Pinning.

Get to know me.

me

I’m 20, a student and living in London. I always read blogs, possibly one of my favorites in Anouska Brandon http://www.anouskaproettabrandon.com/ I love her style, she keeps it simple with a lot of monochromes and clean lines. I just think she is great! I started a blog to have a place where I could put my thoughts on everything that matters to me, at the moment I’m not sure where this blog will go but you have to start some where.

I would describe my style as minimal, I wear a lot of neutral tones often with just a touch of colour, dark burgundies and forest green are great to play around with at the moment along with textures- I am all about textures right now- black on black can look so polished when you mix up the textures and fabrics: coated black jeans, a fine knit jumper and teddy bear coat all black but will look far from boring. Black is defiantly my go to look for winter, day or night black is perfect- you can always add a little splash of burgundy into the mix, maybe your nail polish or a cozy scarf and you are done. marble, wood + gold //

Along with fashion I love interiors. I am forever scrawling through Zoopla looking at the gorgeous apartments near by in London. I am not going to be able to afford them for years and years and years (if ever) but I look anyway. I judge a house on its kitchen, if it has a fuss free, modern, clean line kitchen, it makes it through the first round, I then move onto looking at living space and bedrooms and a modern stylish bathroom is a must. I always look to see how I would dress any space; dark woods, off white walls, warm neutrals with metallic accents screams understated class, that and huge floor to ceiling windows overlooking the London sky line sounds like my kind of place.

textureI did A levels in Art, Textiles and Photography, I have an eye for good composition and colours, at the moment I just wish I could do more with it but its hard to find the time but again minimal and abstract with an array of textures and I’m sold. Dance has always been a part of my growing up and I am currently in my 2nd year at Trinity Laban studying Contemporary Dance for my degree. It literally takes up all my time, I’m enjoying it but at the moment I feel there are so many artistic and creative paths that interest me I’m just hungry to get out into the real world and put them all into play.

Hopefully this has given you a little in site into who am I so please stay tuned for more posts to come
