Manchester house

On Saturday we went to Manchester house for afternoon tea and cocktails.

They seem to serve a lot of classic treats with an interesting twist which really works for me and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely one of my favourite places in Manchester.

The Manchester sky was sporting its trademark grey colour and I decided to take some pictures by the large windows on the 12th floor.

Delayed winter project.

I actually shot these as part of my winter project but haven’t been able to release the whole set until now, as I lost the original files when my laptop died in December.

It was the first proper set we shot with Charlie and I thought he did really well.

The set I’m wearing in the pictures is my favourite Eustatia latex lingerie set. I put it on sale last week on my website but have decided to leave the discount on for a couple more days in case any of my blog readers would like to take advantage. You can get 25% off any or all the pieces, here.

The images were shot by Richard Ayres.

Qoive Magazine Feature

Last month I had the pleasure of being contacted by Qoive magazine “Fashion magazine by fashion bloggers”, to contribute some images and quotes for their inaugural issue, fashion blogger feature.

Fashion illustrations of the featured bloggers by Purushu Arie were featured next to their quotes.

This was mine, based on an image by Richard Ayres.

 

It was interesting to be featured alongside all these other bloggers, because it gave me the opportunity read through their quotes and gain an insight into their style and views.

I particularly like that they made an effort to feature bloggers whose style differed from the norm.

I also love the cover illustration based on Shini Park of Park & cube.

 

On the second page of my feature, they mentioned by label, Eustratia and added a quote for my website and the full version of the image my illustration was based on, from the Vanguard collection lookbook.

I loved being involved in this project and hope to have more similar opportunities in future.

Smokey layers

A couple of weeks ago, I attended my friend Cassie’s graduate exhibition at the Foundation Coffee House in Manchester. A couple of days earlier we had been shopping and I picked up a long tunic-style skirt and some lace brogues from H&M, which I decided to incorporate into my outfit. I don’t think I’ve ever bought such inexpensive shoes before but they are beautiful and surprisingly comfy.
