Good morning, how are we all? 


I feel as though I have been slightly MIA recently, as I had been using the summer to write a lot of blog posts, and have them all scheduled ready, so I haven't 'needed' to write a blog post in quite a while. Nonetheless, it feels great to be back in the blogging saddle, bringing some extremely exciting new ventures to my little spot in the internet world. Let's begin...

You are probably wondering how on earth my £150 Nikon camera has managed to capture these insane shots, but in actual fact my poor little camera has been very much out of action. A few weeks ago, I managed to survive the experience of my first fashion shoot. The lovely Mike from Now Photography (link to his site here) took some shots of me for the blog, and after 4 hours of shooting I could not be more thrilled with the results. I have an adventurous aim of trying to improve my blog, and to be a lot more creative with it. So I decided to take the mighty step of finding someone to take pictures of me, with a much better camera and photography skills than I could ever personally achieve. 

Admittedly, I was incredibly nervous about the shoot, as I had not been in front of a professional camera before with the limelight solely on me. The nervous excitement was completely overwhelming, but on the morning of the shoot I directed all of my energy towards the excitement and general positive thoughts about the day ahead. So I sat with my Costa latte in pure excitement, and before I knew it, I was in front of that lens, strutting my stuff and 'trying' to look like a real-deal blogger.


Initially, I was most apprehensive about the fact I would be standing in the middle of a town centre, awkwardly posing for this huge camera whilst being watched by the inquisitive stare of the British public. To my surprise, I found it far easier to blank out the poising eyes and focus primarily on the camera and learning first-hand how to pose. So, if you are considering having a photo shoot but are worried about feeling uncomfortable, I would definitely say that it isn't half as scary as you are imagining, and I felt far more comfortable and less self-conscious than I anticipated. Having a good photographer that you feel comfortable with is also a primary factor to ensuring you can perform well, and I would definitely say that it made the experience much easier because of the fact I felt comfortable and relaxed with Mike behind the camera.

In terms of posing, I would say this takes time to perfect. Learning what looks best is a particularly personal thing, as you may have a favourite side of the face, and different features that you want to enhance most. Discovering this will allow you to improve your poses, so just take the time to figure these things out - I definitely have a lot more practising to do before I have even the slightest clue of what to do, but its enjoyable to learn for sure!!



I hope you liked this weeks post, as I am going to be blogging this way a lot more in the future. I will see you next week for another blog post. If you want to find me on Instagram, just search angelhowarth

| Festival / Holiday Look No.1 | 20/06/17 |

HELLO HELLO! So this is going to be a little 'saga' of looks I've selected that I think would be super appropriate for your summer holidays, or equally just as good as a festival outfit. I am aiming to make them as realistic as possible, in the sense that each outfit is something that I would actually wear on holiday, and also so that each look is relatively affordable and could incorporate items you already have hidden in your wardrobe, alongside more trend-based pieces. Hopefully, this will be a success and may inspire you while planning your own holiday outfits. I don't know about you guys, but I find it ever so tedious trying to plan holiday outfits, so I feel like this would help me! Lastly, I am going away soon myself, so I am hoping to use these blog posts to document outfit ideas that I will be able to wear myself! ENJOY. - OUTFIT - Top:  Pretty Little Thing Skirt:  ASOS Sunglasses:  Spitfire Earrings:  ASOS Espadrilles:  ASOS...

| The Truth About Student Life | 20/02/18 |

M O R N I N G  I almost feel like I've forgotten how to write a blog post, so the format of this post might be a bit 'up in the air'. Therefore, before I delve into things, here's a quick disclaimer... On the 26th December, I uploaded a blog post surrounding the topic of social media, and the influence I feel it has on the mental health of its users. Since then, I have been absent from this blog, and largely absent from social media in general, because I feel as though I've had nothing worth saying recently. I would much rather only upload when I am bringing a little something useful to the internet that even if only one person found it interesting, it would at least have a purpose.  This leads swiftly on to the subject of this post. Student life, and the truth about how it feels to experience daily life as a young adult, studying at University. I promise to not sugar coat the finer details, and to accurately portray the common notions of being a student...

| Styling For Winter, Without Spending A Fortune | 21/11/17 |

G O O D  M O R N I N G | O UTFIT | Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren  | Tshirt: Asos  | Scarf: Burberry (fake lol)  | Jeans: Asos  | Cardigan: Liz Claiborne | Boots: Office  | SUP GUYS! How are we all doing this morning?  I am currently sat on my bed in the late afternoon, with a hot cup of tea to hand (hopefully I won't forget about it), and I am really digging deep in my thoughts in terms of what I want to talk about today. A stressed student, on the cusp of several deadlines and all I can think about is this blog post. Blogging is a funny thing, sometimes it is my ultimate escape where I can just unwind and spill out onto the page whatever springs to mind. But sometimes, blogging can feel overwhelming, like I am being forced to think about my reality in its most raw state, and sometimes life is not all fun and games, and I just don't really want to come to terms with my busy mind.  Before I babble on about life and bore you all...
