This season of Made In Chelsea, like my own life, has been a rollercoaster... 

I loved the themed tea party in the finale :D I also 100% back what Sam was saying, I've gone from thinking he was an absolute tool when i used to watch it with my old house mates to seeing he has really come into his own and is a fierce friend. 

NEXT STOP: CROATIA! For me and the Chelsea crew :) I hope we cross paths while I’m there...I doubt it, but hey, a girl can dream ;)

When everyone else in the UK goes to bed and you are left watching the Oscars and sleeping on someone elses sofa :)

Howards End

My heart absolutely broke last night watching the final instalment of Howards End on BBC1. Leonard Bast was my absolute favourite character and I was totally enamoured with his storyline, especially his relationship with Helen Shlagel. The often cruel and frequently explored themes that investigate the class system and its consequences and even humanity as a whole are displayed in such a raw way by E. M. Forster and he presents British society and all its hypocrisy in a realistic and devastating way. The 4 part series has been a roller-coaster of emotions. I originally was totally against watching yet another period drama on the BBC but I quickly fell in love; with the characters being in my thoughts throughout the week until the next instalment. In tonight’s episode there was some beautiful, infuriating, stunning moments but it left me with a very bitter-sweet feeling... <3

Left my Saturday job after 7 years. Thank you to all of the customers (even the annoying ones), the staff and my colleagues, my boss and my mum for telling me to hand my CV into all of the shops on our road when I was sweet sixteen <3 Ready to chill for a bit now ;) Thank you for all my leaving presents!! So cute x

Got to see Somerset House, The Old Vic, The Millennium Bridge, The Tate Modern, OXO Tower, The Globe Theatre, ITV Studios, The National Theatre, The British Film Institute and Waterloo Station :D 

Can’t wait to see ya again ;) XO

SPAIN HOLIDAY!!!

Such an incredible trip! Two weeks of adventures on the Costa Del Sol <3

Highlights included: A day in Seville, a foam party, meeting amazing people, a ferry journey, hanging out with camels, a (very high!) cable car ride, a photo-shoot at a castle, fireworks, mint tea, a trip to Paloma Park, midnight walks along the marina and lots of cake (don’t know how I lost 4 pounds, possibly sweating 24/7?) oh and... A TRIP OVER TO MOROCCO <3 

Living my film location dreams in Tangier + Seville

So how come one of the worst managed projects that I have ever worked on becomes one of the most fun, enjoyable, eye opening experiences?

I even got a makeover because they needed a ‘glamorous lady’ for one of the scenes. 

I learned more about myself, other people, roles on a set, friendship and what truly makes me happy... too many experiences to list but lets just say there was a lot of Lidl chocolate, a lot of bitchy stares at members of the public and a few moments where I had to pinch myself... goths walking about in stilettos in a garage forecourt at midnight then driving home to my homemade playlist and explaining what a beat drop was to the producer <3 

Three days (and nights) of madness and I cant wait for the next one :)

Makes sense...

If you spend all your time trying to be someone else, who is going to be you?

I haven’t filmed in a long time.. I rented a Canon 7D for free and played around with some footage for my masters course.

I wanted to create a visual treat with a sick beat <3 

I’m very lucky to be surrounded by a lot of artistic people and friends that are willing to go along with my wacky ideas. I am grateful to have re-discovered my passion for film and how it can be aesthetically and emotionally enriching

The weather was also bad ass which helped

Nothing else makes me feel like this :)

I started a group chat with my best friends about going to catch a movie together soon because our local cinema is closing down and i just loved their responses <3 It makes me feel so lucky to have good friends with great humour and personalities :D

Checking out my old Stardoll messages, dressing up dolls, listening to Aly & AJ and downloading 90′s records...the nostalgia was real, but now I appreciate ‘ageing’ as it is <3
