I love putting photos on my walls. I think it gives a room a cosier and more lived in feel than plain walls. My room is an attic room so it has lots of nooks and crannies which is annoying for arranging furniture but perfect for photos. 

In the past year, I have bought, used and developed many disposable cameras as I think they are such a cute thing way to preserve photographs! These days most of our photos are on phones or computers which can be extremely useful but it means that you don't see them that often. My favourite thing about disposables is that you take one photo and sometimes it will come out well, other times it won't but they feel so honest and candid.

I also have some polaroids which I love too, but the camera is quite bulky to carry around so I don't use it as much.

I recently rearranged all the photographs in my room and added some new ones, so I took some pictures of the finished look... 

"Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure." 

I thought I would share a little visit I took to the current exhibition at the Saatchi, which happens to be one of my favourite galleries. I always love the art exhibited there, the lighting is good and it's near my house so what could be better. This is also my first time testing out my new camera (Canon EOS 100D) which I mentioned in my last post if you want to check it out...

Anyway this is quite a short post but lots of pictures for you to look at!

hi everyone!

this is my first post (duh!)

just gonna be talking about, cool places i've visited, photos i've taken, food i've eaten and just in general stuff i've done/seen!

hope you enjoy :)

So last weekend i went to the Saatchi gallery to see the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition and it was insane! I don't think I've ever taken so many pictures in one place. I'm going to put them below so you can get a feel of what it's like but you should definitely go if you get the chance. The Saatchi is one of my favourite museums ever, the artwork is always amazing and I love the layout and aesthetic of the building.  The only bad thing is about the exhibition is that there was quite a bit of a queue to get in but it's so worth it, and i kind of expected it. I also really wanted to go to the Louis Vuitton exhibition but I didn't get a chance because I didn't realise it was on for such a short period of time... If anyone has been please tell me what you think!

Even if fashion is not something you are particularly interested in, the exhibition is about more than that. While there was a room full of delicate Haute Couture gowns and an impressive diamond collection, you can also explore a French jardin, learn about the process of making Chanel perfume and take a peek inside an artistic recreation of the founder’s house herself. 

My favourite area was the sensory room, which allows visitors to touch and wander through ranges of different couture fabrics; from cream-coloured silks to the famous bouclé tweeds. Between the thousands of layers hanging from the ceilings are shadow projections of artisans pinning and sewing materials onto mannequins.

Throughout the journey you learn that Chanel is so much more than just a label and you find yourself wishing you could just try on some of the incredible dresses on display.

until next time
