CAROLINE

Picture this, tall trees bending and blowing in the wind, birds chirping away feeding their babies and the smell of the damp ground in the canopy of the under growth....now that is what I was experiencing on Wednesday. I had a photoshoot for my 'Caroline' A/W Capsule Collection.

I was fortunate enough to get my very talented friend Barry Conlon (www.1414.me) to be the photographer for the day. He is graphic designer with a flare for all things creative and it was just inspiring to work with him and to get his artistic eye on my ideas.

My model for the day was the beautiful, 19 year old dancer Erin Schepers. From the moment we met that day we just chatted and chatted and got on like a house on fire! BURN BABY BURN! With her being kooky and creative herself she understood what I wanted from her from the start. She sat patiently while I painted her face with MAC and Urban Decay make up and twisted her hair and pinned it like a cinnimon bun on her head....make up and hair is something I love doing!

We got in to the car, my lovely boyfriend volunteered to drive us that day and to try and help, he ended up being the lighting guy pretty much!

We drove to the GORGEOUS Tentsmuir woods and beach. I love this place, it is always one place I can just go and forget everything so it was only fitting I went here to have photographs of this collection!

We had a few different locations within the woods from uprooted trees, ferns and even a little stick den someone had been there the day previous making, it is almost like they did it for us!

Anyway I am going to stop babbling and show you the pictures!!

Come and 'ave a go if you think you're 'ard enough!!

Well that is me back from Manchester visiting my parents.

Was lovely to go home and have a break and get away from Scotland just for that little bit.

I was able to clear my head from thinking of uni and going into 2nd year but it has given me the boost I needed. I just want to get started on my summer project and get to making stuff for myself and others.

But on to Manchester.

I was so good to be home. Just seen a few people I hadn't seen in a while and basically just helped my mom with housework as she has gotten really bad with her athritis in the back.

Went into Manchester city centre on the Thursday and managed to get to Selfridges so I could get my MAC eyeliner.....SCORE!! One stick had lasted me 4 years!!!

I got to look at all the new Mulberry bags and Marc Jacobs new bag collection. One of my favourite bags that day was this Mulberry one:

The Alexa Satchel <3.....at £785....0_o

I got to have a ganders at Chanel too as  my mom loves Chanel and has never really seen the clothes and jewellery and she fell in love with the brooches. the double C with pearls....one day mom, one day.

I then went to Debenhams and just sprayed loads of perfume on myself!!! i love Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb!!

Then onto URBAN DECAY!!!

The woman was so friendly and nice, I know they all have to be but she was nice. She even said if I need a make up artist for my fashion designs she is available hahahaha!!

I got myself "The Fun Palette"

The new fall range of lipsticks in "Confession"

And I had to look at bags! I fell in love with this Betty Jackson number! and it is now all mine!!!

Managed to get a family photo of me, my mom, my stepdad and step brother:

What a bunch..............

anyway TA TA for now!!
