Bittersweet Memories

Leather jacket and velvet t-shirt both from charity shops, vintage shorts from Portobello Market

Hellooo! Here's another one of the outfits I took on the same day as the last post. I'm wearing all second hand apart from the jewellery! I really love this jacket I bought a while ago now from a charity shop in Brighton, it's detailed with flower designs which aren't really shown in these photos which is a shame but I shall try and capture them another time hopefully. As for the t-shirt, it was only about £3! It's such a lovely emerald green and really comfy to wear.

Hope everyone is well and good, I'm coming towards the end of college now, only about 3 weeks left! So everything now is just uber hectic :') stress stress stress... I shall manage though.

Loves, xo

I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again.

Hey guys! I just took these photos and edited them now along with two other outfits I put together which I'll post in the next few days. I apologise for neglecting this blog and lookbook with outfits but I've been so busy as usual. I've been to university interviews were I have conditional places from all of my interviews (three) so far which I'm very pleased about :-) My favourite out of the three is Middlesex University as they are the most impressive when it comes to the arts and its Photography departments in general - so so good! So hopefully I shall be going there as long as I get the right UCAS points. I have also recently just had my Easter holidays and had so much fun being out with friends and before that I got to meet the lovely fellow lookbooker/blogger Cristina Criaco in Camden on the 23rd March and if you're reading this I lufff you girl! She showed me this vintage store on Brick Lane were they had a £1 bucket and that is where I came across this shirt - so cheap! So yeah, everything is well on my part, apart from being a little bit buggy and ill! Hope everyone else is keeping well and enjoying the good weather if you are fortunate to be having some like I am in the England! :-)

Hey guys, since my last post of having lilac hair my hair had faded and gone back to blonde without me getting any outfit photos in! I decided this couldn't be and dyed it again a couple days ago :3 These pictures were taken today in the park after yesterday being a total snow blizzard outside the sun had come up to melt a load of it away. I like snow to look at but when you have to go out in it snowing up a storm on a 40 minute walk to college and back, it is no fun. Today however my college was closed because of it. It was so random to have snow again (we had some in January) as it is now March and it was beginning to feel like Spring until then aha, but that's British weather for you - always so unprecitable. Anyhoo I hope you like this outfit and my hair! ^.^ Much love xoxo

My Lilac Hair.

These photographs were all taken within the time I dyed my hair lilac on the 6th January. The first photo is from when I dyed it the first time with Directions in Lilac and the rest are after I dyed it again using Stargazer in Violet. I had dyed it again because the lilac colour in the Directions dye wasn't strong enough to dye my darker bits of blonde and so it was mainly the top half of my hair that was covered! I figured if I bought a darker purple dye and left it on for a short amount of time it would make these darker bits of blonde appear lilac, in the mean time the rest of my hair was quite a darker purple colour so I washed it a few times for it to eventually go lighter - more lilac like I originally wanted, yay! I like both purple and lilac hair though so I was pleased with having both. Nearly a month has gone by now and my hair has faded to very pale lilac with a lot of blonde showing through.

This was the first time dying my whole hair a cool colour and I'd definitely do it again! I really want to redye it purple again soon actually as I'm rather annoyed at myself for getting no proper outfit Lookbook photos done whilst having this hair, so I want to get that in the next time I do it. You see recently I've been so busy trying to get my Photography unit sorted and I'm yet to go on university interviews so everything is rather busy in my life at the moment!

All photos are taken from my Instagram, do give me a follow if you want! XoXo

Hello & Happy New Year! This is my first blog post of 2013 woopdy woo! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got all you wished for etc :-) I've been meaning to do an outfit post with my beloved army jacket (I bought when in Camden in around October I believe) for quite a while! I also got this jumper in the sale from the same store that day, isn't it sweet? The collar is attached to it and I love the detail with the little red birdy in the centre. For my next outfit post I really hope for it to be shooted outdoors as I like to have a different backdrops... but it's a pain when the weather is cold which makes me feel not in the mood and lazy to do so aha. One of my new years resolutions is to blog more, with lots of outfit posts, and to just take more photos in general as I feel I've slaked in that area last year and in 2010/2011 I took far more, I miss that!
 

 

I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold, I'm living on such sweet nothing

 Dress made by my best friend, tights & socks are hand-me-downs, creepers from New Look.

Hey guys! The other day I modelled my friends dress she made in her fashion class, isn't it cute? :) I love the pattern that was all printed by her also. Hope you like these pics she took and I edited. As you can see I'm sporting some new creepers! I adore them. These ones I got on Oxford Street the day after seeing the amazing Crystal Castles (I got to hold Alice Glass' hand and it was epic). They had a 20% off deal on all the shoes in store so I bought these for just under £18 which was great! I just looove to team any shoes up with glittery socks peeping through also, gives it that finishing touch! Btw, I've created an Instagram account, it would be cool if people would follow! @isabellabarter :-)

HALLOWEEN OUTFIT

 Headband from Topshop, butterfly sequin top & flowy skirt from a charity shop.

Happy belated Halloween guys! Here is what I wore out to a house party on the day :-) I can't believe October is already now over and soon Autumn will become Winter, which is a shame because I think this year I've appreciated Autumn more than I have any other year before. Although the weather has been freezing and you may aswell call it Winter weather. I love the atmosphere when all the trees are changing and the fashion is also changing for fall, everyone is getting their new coats out and I have been wearing my beanie more than ever! I've also been loving the build up to Halloween, watching scary films, deciding on costume ideas, having Halloween themed treats and all that jazz. On a scary note though, soon I will have to send in my application to university's and I feel I'm really not mentally ready for applying yet, it's just all come so soon and there is so much to be done *sigh*. Hope you're all keeping well, stay warm, love and peace.
