☼ summer update ☼

So I just got home from a week in Cornwall with the coolest gal, Rachel where we had the best time. It was so hot there so we just swam all day and jumped off the stone wall that juts out into the sea and then sunbathed and watched films, which was perfect. On a visit to the nearest town, we went into a junk shop where we found an old i-zone Polaroid camera which (if you can afford the ridiculously priced film) prints your photo onto a sticker which is awesome. Rachel got an underwater camera as well and I bought my new favourite thing ever: an old Praktica Super TL analogue camera that I intend to start using as soon as possible for this summer, so watch this space for when I start taking photos..

^Collected tumblr photos proving that turquoise water is the best thing ever. 

When I went to Greece last year the sea was just like that and it was perfect and summery.. I used to watch loads of underwater documentaries when I was little because I love the sea, and anything to do with it. If anyone's ever been to London Zoo you might know that the aquarium used to have this massive tank at the end of it with one big shark swimming round in it, which was always my favourite bit of the zoo but they moved it to another zoo and I can remember being really sad about it..
Also when I was probably about 6 I went to the New Jersey (USA) aquarium there which is the best thing ever because it has a tunnel that you can walk through and see the fish above you..There's also one in a Sea Life aquarium in Helsinki, Finland which I forced my family to take me to when we went on holiday there.

The Little Mermaid was always my favourite film when I was younger
 (we can all admit we would sell our souls for Ariel's hair)

Ocean-inspired fashion is also beautifull  :

Wow ok so I was on the internet, wasting my life away as usual, when I saw this photo on Tavi Gevinson's blog: The Style Rookie (which is so perfect that it's basically the reason I was inspired to start blogging, by the way) which was taken by some guy called Luigi Ghirri and I thought all his photos were pretty cool so now I'm sharing them with you.. My favorites are mostly on beaches and by the sea and I thought his style was quite like the film Submarine (2010) which is my all time favourite film so you understand why I like these photos now right? 

They're all so cheerful and summery and like surreal postcards, I'm definitely going to be sticking these all over my room, in anticipation for summer. 

I took some photos by the sea in Cornwall this Easter

I also recommend everyone watches Submarine, hopefully these photo's might persuade you? If you like the sea, duffle coats, comedy, pyromania, Wales and high school drama then go watch it. 

"My Dear Americans, The film you are about to see is a biopic of my life. The events take place, not so long ago, in a proud land called Wales. Wales is next to England, a country you pretend to treat as an equal. My homeland has produced Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tom Jones and some other people. You have not yet invaded my country and for this I thank you. Submarine is an important film. Watch it with respect. Fond regards from your protagonist, Oliver Tate."
