Camden is at the heart of North London. On the weekend, there's always something happening. Saying that, I do like Camden. You'll find yourself stumbling past graffiti art, brightly painted walls, typography signage and quirky bits from the market like 'cool' t-shirts and little trinkets. It's a great place to photograph because of it's attitude, vibrancy and colour. I found an 'I heart moustache' jumper, and it's just, so Camden. The monochrome chiffon blouse is a great piece because you can wear it to work and also at the weekend, I'm getting ready for Christmas, so I went for the glitzy gold print shorts. Are you ready for the festive season?

I'm in my knickers. Hello, lingerie blog post. In my portfolio, I don't do a lot of lingerie shoots. This one, though, I feel, is very tasteful and natural, and the sort that I like. It doesn't give much away. I've noticed, that every girl has their preferred lingerie brand. My favourite is Boux Avenue  I have so many of their bras in every colour; it's the destination for everyday lingerie. Go and visit their fab concierge service in the changing room which has three different light settings: dim, dusk and dawn (I'm easily pleased, I press every button like a child). I'm also a massive fan of the American brand, Aerie, owned by American Eagle. I didn't think I would like the stuff because AE is very preppy, but I loved their lingerie selection. I'd recommend giving Aerie a browse online. For sexier underwear, Triumph is the best for high quality and seductive wear. My boobies (pardon me) aren't big, but they're perfect for all sizes, and I love their laced luxury range, ideal for, erm, playing Twister with your friend (*wink*). Happy lounging!

Oh hello bright maxi dresses! This was a shoot for vintage boutique curator Carrone Vintage. I was dressed in a Edwardian-era vintage tea gown, it's deep blue in colour with mini red rose prints and a elegant crochet neckline. Because of my height (I'm fun sized), I never thought I would suit a maxi dress, I'd always feel like it would swamp and hibernate me. It's only recently that I then tried on a strappy maxi dress. They're actually pretty comfy, it feels like you're almost naked, which is so weird because there's more material and it covers your legs, but, it's all loose and flowy! As the fully fledged maxi convert, I ensure I pop a couple of maxi's in my holiday suitcase. The chiffon/cotton sleeveless ones are great for dining in the sun and for chilling at the beach. The ones made of viscose material, have long sleeves or thigh split are great for special occasions like ballroom events. What do you think?

 The concept of this shoot was to create a light hearted, gothic fairy-tale story — a ying-yang concept. Flowy and ethereal chiffon and delicately draped nets teamed with dark gothic makeup. Add some romantic lighting, fairy lights whimsical background music.

The tailored military dress, inspired by the Edwardian war to the Balmain catwalk. Batten down the hatches and bring in the heavy artillery, winter is on it’s way and there’s no better way to go into battle. Now where's the banquet, your grace?
