Student In The City

Wednesday 1st March 2017

I recently met up with a photographer who had contacted me on Instagram wanting to take a few portrait photos around Manchester. 

I took a look a her website and instantly fell in love with her photography so I jumped at the chance to work with her and I'm so glad I did!

I've never had to "pose" in front of a proper camera before so the whole experience was new, but amazing!

Coralie was so lovely and made me feel really comfortable and relaxed, which made me really enjoy it. We managed to find a few good spots around the Northern Quarter to take some photos and these are the results!

I'm completely in love with them and its something I really REALLY want to do again.

What I'm wearing:

Bomber Jacket - Mango

Jumper - Primark

Jeans - H&M

Boots - TU Clothing

If you do go and take a look at Coralie's Instagram and beautiful website!

It was my boyfriends birthday last weekend so I surprised him with a trip to one of our favourite cities, Dublin! We've been once before for my 18th, so I thought it was about time we came back.

We had an amazing couple of days, and as all good things do it went far to quick! When it came to packing I had to fit everything in to a carry on suitcase, and I wanted to travel as light as possible so that I'd have enough room for bringing a couple of things back with me. So I went for items that I new could all work well together.

Here are some really nice shots Dale managed to get of me and I took a couple of the surroundings whilst we were exploring Dublin. I've tried to link as much as I can for the items with either the exact item or something similar. Enjoy! :)

Trousers - H&M £29.99 Online (I got these for £7 in the Sales!)

Jago Roll Neck Jumper - AllSaints £68 in the sale (Similar)

White Frill Top (underneath) - New Look

Trainers - Adidas Stan Smiths £52 in last years sale (Similar)

Bag - TkMaxx (unsure of price)

Bomber Jacket - Mango £29.99 in the sale

St Stephen's Green Skirt

I wore this outfit on the first full day we had in Dublin when the weather was amazing! Although it was a bit chilly, the sun was shining and there was no wind or rain in sight! Great opportunity to get a skirt out! We had a lovely stroll through St Stephen's Green Park and took some photos. Both the Skirt and Jumper/Top are new purchases from Stradivarius, which I'm really loving their clothes at the moment! The loafers are new too from Asos. They we're good to walk around in for the majority, it was only at the end of the day that they started to hurt a tiny bit, but that's to be expected with most new shoes!

Skirt - Stradivarius £24.99

Flared Sleeve Jumper - Stradivarius £19.99

Bomber - Mango £29.99

Loafers - Asos £20

Tights - Primark £3 for set of 3

Bag - Tkmaxx (unsure of price)

Scarf - Primark £4

The All Black Outfit

This last outfit is one of my favourites! We were heading out for the evening so I wanted something a bit more on the warmer side. This was the first time I had worn those trousers and I have to say they were pretty comfy! I was sceptical at first considering leather look trousers are usually tight and a tad restricting, but these weren't too bad! And again I'm wearing my AllSaints roll neck jumper, and my Stan Smith which I think makes the outfit look really cool!

Faux Leather Trousers - H&M £24.99

Jago Roll Neck Jumper - AllSaints £68 (Similar)

Bomber - Mango £29.99

Hope you liked the photos and outfits! I'll be back soon with a 'What I Ate On Our Weekend Away' post so stay tuned! 

Thanks

Jess
