Glasgow grub

 Today I checked out the 'Hanoi Bike Shop' for some grub. It's a Vietnamese style restaurant, serving things like Dim Sum and Raman, and I've got to say it was pretty damn good. If you are in the West End area of Glasgow, I would definitely recommend popping for the quirky layout, good honest food and the chill vibe, it's just off the Byres Road so if you're around you should deffo hit it up. Try the speciality coffee (pictured above) made with condensed milk- the only way I could describe it would have to be heaven in a glass- yeh it was that good. Hope you guys are having a good Sunday, see y'all soon.

HeforShe

I know I have already posted tonight, but I just feel like this issue cannot be ignored. Today I watched Emma Watson deliver a strong message in a beautifully presented manner. Her message was simple, men and women should be equal. Her words truly inspired me and if you have not already watched the speech I would really recommend that you do (I have left the link at the bottom of this post). She is right when she says that 'feminist' has become a negative word, for I too would class myself as a feminist but only in secret as I am scared of what people would say due to the negative connotations surrounding it. But why should I care/ be scared of what they think? I should be proud to be a feminist and from now onwards I will be. This is a slightly different tone to my usual blog posts, but I feel like I needed to say something, and this is the perfect space to do so.

Fresh to Death

So I've been a little MIA recently on my blog, but I do have a good excuse. I was busy attending my freshers week at Glasgow University, which has been a crazy but amazing experience. I have met a ton of great people, moved out of my family home and into halls and partied a bit too hard (I have diagnosed myself with freshers flu- I think I may be dying ngl). So now Freshers is over the real work begins, which I have to say I'm strangely looking forward to (I know I'm weird alright). I'm looking forward to eating something other than pasta and dominos takeouts and getting into more of a routine here at Glasgow. But yeh, that was freshers. Here's some pics of the my week, and I'll be seeing you back here shortly.

Monochrome Madness

I thought I would do a little outfit of the day post for you. Today I'm wearing black and white gingham 'Joni' jeans from Topshop, an ordinary black sweater also from Topshop, a black leather rucksack again from Topshop (I kinda love Topshop ok, it's a real problem), my sunglasses are Rayban but I'm not sure of the model and red Doc Marten booties, which you can't see in the photos. I was playing around with effects on my camera and thought the shots came out pretty cool in black and white- so here they are. Enjoy!

Art Exhibition

During my sixth (and final) year of high school, I chose to do Advanced Higher Art as I have always loved art and textiles. Even though it was a lot of work, I really enjoyed this class, after doing every level of art possible in school, this was definitely the hardest but most enjoyable. I loved the fact that this year we were sorta left to do whatever the hell we wanted, no restrictions like we had in other years. Not gonna lie, it was a lot of hard work, and what felt like endless hours spent in the art department. However I came out of it with an A- holla- and I basically thought I would post a few pictures of my work on here, as the exhibition at the school is this week. Hope you enjoy.

These pictures are just a few from my portfolio, of the costumes I designed and made for my project. My project had the theme of 'Botanical Dance'- yes I made that a thing- and was designed with stage production and theatre use in mind.

 please excuse my horrific poses, I hate being in front of the camera and much prefer to be behind it, however a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do.
