My final collection ....

As the sound of N.E.R.D, Perfect Defect started to float from the speakers, my heart began to race.

It was a very long and stressful week and this is what it had all been leading up to.

My collection appeared at the top of the runway and I knew my work had payed off.

After swopping and changing with models I still wasn't happy with how well the collection fit, but it was the best I could have done in the time I had. I could finally breathe, feeling my hard work had finally payed off.

dyslexia ...

I've always felt stupid, almost like I'm not capable.

I've recently realised I'm not, my brain just works differently, I'm creative not academic and for me that's a much more interesting life, dyslexia is my gift and its taken me a long time to realise I won't let it stop me from doing anything !

Manchester ...

My dress and all my jewelry is from Topshop and the shoe's are from New Look, this is possibly the cheapest outfit I've ever put together, a bargain :)

All the girls before we left home. Birthday girl Reigen was defiantly best dressed, in her beautiful white skirt, red shoes and lipstick.

Finally hit the waves ...

Me and my lovely little sister. 

This was the warmest day away, but the sea was still very chilly.

The wetsuit I was wearing was an Animal 3/2 back zip wetsuit costing £99.99

The big blue ...

This view was beautiful. We went for a drive along the coast, and I made everyone pull over so I could take a picture. Already half way thought the week, I can't believe how fast it's gone.

Rob Ryan ...

Rob Ryan is a London based artist, he creates most cut-outs using a laser technique.

My little sister first introduced me to his artwork after studying him at school. I fell in love.

Port Isaac ... The home of Doc Martain.

This photo overlooks the Doc Martin set. It was bizarre walking around somewhere I didn't know, yet it seemed so familiar after seeing it for years on the TV. The village was so busy, it most be a great pull for tourism. Although if I chose to live by the sea, it would be for a quiet life, so I can imagine some residents are driven mad by being constantly overlooked by strangers. 

It was so hard to take a photo of this fish. Every time I lifted the lens, I struggled to find where he was. I thought the pattern on his camouflage body was beautiful, this photo definitely doesn't do him justice. 

Another lovely day at the beach. I treated myself to two new bracelets and a gorgeous Rob Ryan post card.

A very long walk ...

These are some of the photos I've taken today.

It's the first day of my holiday, my mum and I decided that exploring would be a good start to the week. What started as a stroll along the beach turned into a 10 mile trek, but it was worth the achy feet. I had a brilliant day, sat listening to the waves hit the beach and watch the surfers fighting for a good wave.
