Hello doves, hope your summer is going well.
The other day I accidentally pulled an all nighter and it was lovely. I don't really know what happened - I was reading and on tumblr for a bit and then I saw it was half three and thought, well, go big or go home.
Around four the light started streaming through the curtains and it looked so fresh and clean. Does that make sense? I so badly wanted to go outside but didn't want to wake the house up. My friend and I have arranged to meet up at about three in the morning soon though - there's something being outside when everyone is sleeping that makes you feel incredibly special and calm. No matter the weather the light is so pure and new and you can almost feel it flowing through your veins.
Coming from someone who easily sleeps till midday during the holidays, this feels weird even from me, but I definitely think getting up incredibly early is very rewarding - even if you crawl back into your bed later.
The other day I also got this cute top from the Topshop 'retro' section, where independent designers upcycle old clothes. I am in love with it and had to show you guys. It's been cropped at the bottom but because it's quite large so hangs just above my belly button - somehow it's still flattering.
Also, I also got my roll of film developed!! I was worried they would all be ruined as I had thought all the film had been rewound into the canister after I had taken all 24 pictures but it hadn't; and so some of the film got exposed to the light when I opened the back. In the end I lost about ten pictures, including some really gorgeous ones of my friend smoking, but at this point I'm not too fussed as I'm so happy with how these turned out.
this is probably one of my favourite photos, mainly because of the light flare at the bottom. The colours are so lovely and I love the quality - it's grainy but you can still make out details.
I'm so chuffed with these and cannot wait to take hundreds more and use all my money and fill up this photobook and experiment with the other cameras I've got.
I'll leave you with this cute cover of No Angels by Bastille & Ella - I really like the original but they do this cover so well.
Lots of love,
