Belt: Vintage YSL
Bag: Vintage Bootsale
Headband: Mums

Some of you may recognise this outfit from my most recent video on Youtube. A vlog with my brother & some ever so charming Alpacas. They really are very funny animals, I got some amusing photographs of them, but I won’t bore you all to tears. The photograph of the little girl is me, aged about 2 in an angel outfit that my mum had handmade me for a fancy dress party. The crown was made from real flowers, I can’t say the tin foil star is all that impressive though haha. It’s the window sill of my mums bedroom, I love all her pretty little trinkets and bits and bobs, mainly sourced from carboots (now you know where I get it from).

I live in Bristol and I cant find any good carboots :( You and your mum have wonderful taste ♥ Those animals are adorable too.

  63. I love your headband! If you made it, it would be wondrous if you filmed a tutorial! Otherwise, where did you get it? ;) Also, do you have any tips for photographing yourself? I feel there must be a better solution than self timer and then sprinting, which is what I do.

  83. Anh

    Very beautiful photos!

  84. Ri Ri

    Saw the video! You and your brother are so fun together, looking forward to more videos with him. OMG I was never aware of the existence of Alpacas until now! They look so surreal, like a cross between llamas and sheep lol. And they all approached you, are they generally friendly animals?

    And love the photos as usual by the way, I'm guessing your brother took them?

  85. Rachel

    Your blog has the best photos ever. FACT. Not just because you are a stunning girl but because each photo you take is amazing, you really seem to capture the beauty of the subject. Wish I could take amazing photos like that! Enjoyed your vlog with your brother too, you guys should do more together! :-) Take care xxx

  87. your pictures are so lovely, i love the dreamy color tones. great outfit too :)

    This looks perfect – I love country life. One of my friends from high school had a llama… a big white one that lived in the field in front of her house. It was always her way to introduce herself,

    'Hi, I'm Claire; I own a llama'

    True story!
