her name was written on a photograph

i'd like to introduce you to a new addition to my collection, my new baby, the cannon 500d. an (and only) 18th birthday present from my parents.

and while she is very shiny and new and exciting, that's not what i'm posting about. studs. they're the new zips. studded jackets, studded shoes, anything with studs i'm feeling right now, in the glam underground style that's taking over our high street

take this jacket worn by emily blunt in one of my favourite films at the moment, wild target. this jacket is gorgeous and if i hadn't spent so much on my last jacket i would quite happily customise it to look like this. i find cropped jackets to be a bit hit and miss as i always feel i look like i'm wearing clothes four sizes too small, but the high waist of this skirt means that it compliments the jacket and highers the waist. but not all of us are emily blunt and have amazing stylists, so here are my picks of high street studded items for you to buy and accessorise yourself. 

- moto vintage wash sparkle stud hotpants £75 Topshop - vectra studded slippers £28 Topshop - stud bag £24 fcuk by ASOS - paprika halterneck studded panel dress £32 Paprika by ASOS - studded belt £19.99 river island by ASOS - stud court shoe £40 ASOS - light brown studded cross body bag £29.99 river island - studded biker jacker £250 Warehouse-

can't afford to buy a studded piece yourself? no problem, diy studding is more fun anyway, i found this studding tutorial by fashion blogger samantha (beauty-crush) who, by the way has amazing style and has a sleek makeup giveaway on at the moment so you must must check out her blog!

and here's my attempt at studding, my parents for birthday also gave me their second hand camera case. it's very large with room for a second lense, and lots of pockets for filters and accesories. i can't wait to get out and about with it now that i am officially an art student!
