Rainy Day

- Jeans: Primark - Jumper: H&M - Vest: Topshop - Necklace: House of Harlow -
Hasn't the weather today been hideous?  We even had snow at one point!  It's the kind of weather that makes me want to snuggle up with a duvet and a hot chocolate, but unfortunately I had an early start going to a photography course.  I say unfortunately, it was actually really helpful and well worth going to.  I've learnt that my camera wants to put everything in focus, which doesn't sound like a bad thing but does limit me slightly with regards to more creative photos.  Since blogging I've really started to appreciate beautiful photography (Carrie I'm looking at you!) and would love to be able to produce such gorgeous shots myself....so I think I'll start saving for a more "hands on" camera, any recommendations?

Not much to say this weekend, done a lot of shopping and had to take a fair bit of it back.  Finally managed to find a satisfactory pair of black jeans (I'm super fussy) and ordered the most amazing pair of ballet pumps online.  I decided too late that I wanted a black pair of Topshop Vectras, but can't get my hands on them.  Sadly I admitted defeat but whilst e-browsing last night I found a pair that are right up my street.  I genuinely can't remember the last time I've been so excited about a pair of shoes...I can't wait to show you!

Finally, I'm so close to 400 followers, and I'll be doing a giveaway when I reach it.  This isn't an act of bribery, but more of a thank you to everyone of you lovely people who click that little button and show your support to Scaredtoast.  Ok, so slight bribery here.....but if you want the giveaway, then spread the word!

What's everyone else done this weekend?

    1. The most helpful bit was the practical help she gave me with getting to grips with my camera. I found it on groupon, so keep an eye out cos they're always doing cutprice photography courses x

    1. Haha I showed people at work and they didn't share my love, but from what I've seen online they are amazing and definitely made for me! This jumper was an absolute bargain, £3ish from the H&M catalogue! I bought it as a spare xmas pressie because at that price it'd be rude not to, but ended up keeping it for myself! x

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment :)

I'll always try to reply, but if you need an answer quickly (or perhaps like me, you forget to check back) then you can always ask via my Formspring.
