Street style photo shoot

I haven't been using this blog much so I have a lot of things to add to it starting with a little photo shoot I did with my friends a couple of weeks ago.

It wasn't for anything serious, just for fun. We found a really cool place near Waterloo station which was a big tunnel full of graffiti that was actually legal to do it there.

I went with three other friends, one being the photographer and others in the pictures. We decided to make it represent both our fashion but also youth fashion today - urban/street clothes. Things like gold chains, aztec prints, beanies and street brands like adidas, supreme, obey, shade london etc...

So we got up around 5 in the morning, wanting to do it early so it wasn't too busy and got to the photo set around 6-30/7ish and left a couple hours later. It was really fun doing taking the photos and experiencing something new for all of us. At first I found it awkward doing our individual photos as I didn't really know what to do but after a couple of photos I really enjoyed it and just felt comfortable doing any poses.

Here are some pictures from the shoot:









The perks of being a wallflower

So I've just finished the book The perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky that I started on Sunday and I absolutely loved it. I think some people made it out to be sadder than it actually was at the  ending but then again that was more directed to the film.

I didn't quite get what happened straight away and I'm not going to spoil it for anyone but I had a long thing about it and talked about the ending with my friend and got a better understanding and it really is such a great, unexpected ending once you find out.

I am going to see the film tomorrow hopefully and will have to compare the both but it was definitely a book worth reading!
