~23rd July 2019~
Hello, welcome back or welcome to my little blog.
Okay, let me be honest for a moment. I don't know if this is a stupid post idea and I really hope it isn't just me that finds this sort of thing interesting. I find peoples camera rolls really fascinating. I heard this quote one - 'If you want to learn what someone fears losing, look at what they photograph'. I think this is partly true. However, I also take a lot of photos of food...so, do with that information what you will.
I thought it would be a fun post idea to share some of my favourite snaps of July 2019. If you are expecting some feel fantastic photography, you have to wrong place. However, if you are nosy (like me) and fancy scrolling through my photos of this month (or last month), then stick around, give this a read.
Firstly, let's talk about the photo above. Most of my July has been spent working, so my camera roll is lacking an awful lot of 'fun' photos. However, this is a snap of my breakfast in Brighton. If anyone is interested, these pancakes are from Bills and they are hands-down, my favourite breakfast food. In the words of Leslie Knope - 'Why would anyone ever eat anything besides breakfast food?'
So, I was house hunting in Brighton with my other half and we both decided we needed a good, filling breakfast to make a fully informed decision about our future (and it worked, blog post about that coming soon.)

When you are thinking about your favourite photos of the month, please always try to include one of your own faces. Self-love starts with yourself.
Anyway, mushy stuff aside, my best friend took this photo and I love it. We are all moving out of our student house soon and it was nice to spend some time in our garden, doing what we do best - snapping photos.

Thirdly, is this adorable photos of me, my dog (Flo-Monroe) and my boyfriend. We popped back to my home town to spend some time with my family and we took this photo whilst out on a good, old-fashioned dog walk.
I don't know how many of these posts I am going to do, but if I do write multiple, my dog will pretty much be in all of them. She is outrageously adorable and more photogenic then I will ever be. Also, I love a good old, family photo. My boyfriend's love for my dog in this photo is too pure not to make it into my favourite photos for this month.

Both of these photos were taken on the same day, as you can probably tell from the outfit. Okay, so basically, I was just really feeling my outfit this day. I got the playsuit from a charity shop, it fit perfectly and was only £3.00. I also had just bought my Paula Urban shoes (linked below), and my little yellow, bumblebee handbag just completed the look, to be honest.
The first photo was taken on the train whilst I was reading 'This is Going to Hurt' by Adam Kay and the second was taken in a little local boutique near my home town. It was also taken by my sister and definitely wasn't as candid as it looks.

This photo brings a lot of feelings to my heart. I took this whilst shooting photos for my 'Come and Pack With Me' post and it's (very clearly) of my record player and some of my little cacti. The white, empty space around it reminds me of my little empty student house. Goodbye University, hello adulthood.

Finally, is this flat-lay from my post 'My Mug Collection'. I love this photo. I love my F.R.I.E.N.D.S mugs and I think all the colours really compliment each other. I think one of the cons of blogging is second-guessing yourself. You are constantly thinking your writing isn't good enough or your photos won't spark interest (or maybe that's just me). But I was truly confident in this photo and I think it's cute!
Thank you for reading this post! Let me know your thoughts, do I make this a series or no?

Thank you Faye!! x
DeleteI love these! All your photos are so bright and cherry. My absolutely favorites are the food photo (because food) and the puppy which is too adorable. Love the photos and love the idea! I find that just writing can be monotonous and it doesn't always giv eyou a clear picture of who the person is. Personal pictures, like your camera roll, is a great way to allow people to you the person behind the blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Casey. I agree and yes, I love food too hahaah x
DeleteThese are some really gorgeous photos, and I have to say I adore those friends mugs they look so snazzy! X
