summer's here

I am loving summer right now- I've gone swimming in the Hampstead Heath ponds every morning, watched Ghost World for the first time (which made me want to record and draw a lot more), gone on a very successful shopping trip and relaxed in this really strange heatwave that Britain is having. Seriously, I don't understand why it's so hot, it was 5 degrees hotter than Greece yesterday to give you all some perspective #saywhaat

I'm currently working on making a huge playlist for when I go on holiday, and (as you may have already realized) I am a total organizing freak, so I've made lists of everything I'll need to bring with me and buy before because I can't stop myself.

 Shoes: new look, Sunglasses: brick lane stall, Jeans: etsy, Camera: car boot sale

I'm always redoing the pictures on my wall so I took some photos to show what it looks like right now. I love having all my favourite images and leaflets stuck up in one place because I can stare at them from my bed when I wake up. The pictures include several Morrissey/Smiths posters, Submarine themed postcards, polaroids and NME pages. It sums up a lot of my interests and obsessions and it feels like my own personal gallery.

☼ 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..

some weekend pictures

Last weekend in photos/drawings/collages:

I went for a walk up Camden canal with my dog and picked flowers and did art homework and collages because #nosociallife but it was sunny and cute:

anticipation for an upcoming post: Tracey Emin
