I was planning on leaving you with a simple, 'continuing on from Part 1, here are the next four models...' but my boyfriend says I should write more. I'll briefly discuss a past obsession outside of the sartorial realm which is minesweeper. Yes, that computer game with the little squares. At first I thought you just randomly clicked on them with the hope you don't get blown up, and you see how long you survive for. Then someone taught me how to play properly and I was hooked. Consequently I went on to break the clickers on two mice, which eventually brought an end to my toxic addiction to minesweeper.
I had a whole like diary entry written out about what happened whilst I had these photos taken. The more I went on the more it seemed like some epic Tolkien-esque war between human and insect. Let me leave it to this warning: whatever you see in these photos, sequins, bright colours and high heels- wear this combination whilst crossing parkland and you will get bitten.

These photos were taken at my friend's house. When I saw this waterfall I knew I wanted a picture with it/under it/ behind it. I have a soft spot for water features. They are also very cooling in the hot weather. I like wearing rompers as alternatives to dresses as with the latter, I always feel that I have to be a lot more genteel and feminine. Therefore standing knee- deep in a pool would have been slightly unbecoming.
Here is my signature creepy smile whilst holding Truffle.

Sometimes it is a lot of fun wearing something unusual, something that stands out from your other clothes in your wardrobe. For me this is my new 'galaxy' skirt that I made the boutique sell to me straight off the mannequin as they only had one of each colour, and I had to have this one. The material is so beautiful as it floats and it is translucent, so the colours look as if they are gliding with the wind. To make this an easy day time look, I paired it with a men's McQueen t- shirt with the sleeves pinned up, and I wore wedges instead of heels.
Pale yellow, silky, sheer detail and a sweetheart neckline. I loved this top at first sight. I thought about pairing it with a full skirt but instead went for a sleeker look by adding metallic heels and my new clutch bag. These were taken at the loveliest tea spot in the Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road called Arteastiq.
I have never thought of myself as a slave to 'models', in the sense that I never got fanatic over a product because of the face selling it to me. Also, having such beautiful friends I always thought of modelling as a byproduct of giant- genes and an incredible metabolism. However as I search the archives of editorials on my computer, I think it is time I admit to some sort of an obsession with these beautiful people...
When I am on holiday I usually wear shorts and bright colours. Back in London I love skirts and dresses and they are usually in neutral colours. This dress is one of my favourite new additions to my wardrobe; it is adorned in crystal shaped beads, silk flowers and sequins. I have been waiting for the perfect place to wear it to. 'Parlour' the cafe you see in the photos was the perfect background for it.
Does anyone have a different 'holiday wardrobe' to their usual style?
I just wanted to leave you with something beautiful whilst I work on my next few posts. Thank you for all the comments I really appreciate everything you say.

I find that certain videos or music put me in the mood to dress a certain way. This is nostalgic, innocent and romantic, the common traits of childhood memories.
These are the images that inspire me. To me they represent youth, beauty and heritage with a trace of contemporary design. I hope to express these values through my blog and personal style.
