If you go down to the Woods today...

Dearest Third Cousin,

Today I was seduced into the woods by the two Swedish pipe pipers called First Aid Kit. Lead from the safe comfort of my lodgings we explored themes of lust, loss and legend.

The quest part one.

Dearest Third Cousin,

This is the tale of two bloggers quest for "the" outfit shot. While our journey is far from over we have made many advances in out battle against unflattering poses and dodgy lighting.

1. Casually bend your knee whilst leaning against strategically graffitied wall. 

2. Praise the wall. After all it has just made you look really cool. 

3. Put on an "I am deep in thought" face and pretend the camera isn't there. It a great way to show off your new nail colour. 

While the lessons above have been learned the hard way. I shall leave you with this advice if all else fails hand your camera to the first person who offers and pose with a friend for them. The quest continues but if last night proved anything it was that "the" outfit shot will be a lot of fun to find. 

" 4. Work the classic bathroom pose?"

Day and Night

Dearest Third Cousin,

I can officially say bloggers guilt has kicked in. I miss you! However my exams are not finished until the 27th so I'm afraid my blogging will be sporadic until then.  Above are some photos from the Babytag show which took place over the Easter weekend. The two outfits are from the Good Friday. What I wore during the day and my outfit from the opening night. Also featured in the last two photos is my attempt to bring blogging to the exhibit. Please check out the Babytag Facebook page for pictures of the whole event!

My Winter Coat

Dearest Third Cousin,

I love these Pictures.They were taken on my first day back to college. I have been wanting to post about my favorite coat. This camel beauty is from Positively Vintage and has served me well this Winter and will continue to do so for many more to come . Sure camel was a major trend this year but what I loved about many of the past A/W trends was that they wont date too much, well atleast in this cousin's opinion. It was a great day all round with Blau Von T (http://www.blaubushka.com/) and some other college friends.
