354. London | Snapshots

I don't know where all the time went. I am already in Paris at the moment, so I figured I should hurry up with the rest of my London posts. I have a feeling the updates from this trip will go on for months and months, which was exactly what I didn't want to happen. I promise to post more frequently from now on. This time I mean it. ;) I'll post more in-depth posts soon; sorry for the lack of descriptions in this post.

I spent about two weeks in London, and was excited to get away. But now that I am actually gone, I really miss the city. I had gotten so used to it the past couple weeks. Now I am in Paris, my favourite city. I am loving it here (obviously) but I do miss the familiarity of London. I will be back in Toronto soon but hopefully back in Europe again very soon.


I really liked walking up and down Regent Street (from Piccadilly to Oxford Circus). Took hundreds of photos along here.





Loved walking on Portland Place as well (would love to live here). On the right is the famous 33 Portland Place

351. CHV x McQ

This is one of my favourite photoshoots I've ever done. I'm really not sure why I never posted more photos from it before..so here it is! Subtle watermarking was needed on these since they're some of my favourites. I was looking through the old files buried away in my other laptop and found all the originals. The first post I made from it a couple years ago is the most popular post on my blog to date (well in terms of comments): Crystal Head Vodka x Alexander McQueen. So here's a repost/my favourites from the entire set.

I took these photos for a photography class project. We were to shoot a fashion accessory. I had just gotten the Alexander McQueen skull ring (from Paris, thanks to my sister!), and threw it together with some other matching items I had which turned out quite well I think. The Crystal Head Vodka skull bottle was still banned here at the time, and I wanted it really badly. I managed to get it at the perfect time. I'm very grateful for the creepy "anonymous" stranger who gave it to me. One morning my valet desk downstairs gave me a call to say someone left a package for me. I went to get it..my jaw dropped when I saw what it was..& dropped even further when they told me who had left it for me.

222. Crystal Head Vodka x Alexander McQueen

Here's some photos from a photoshoot I did for school last year. It is a bottle of Crystal Head Vodka (great prop!) and my Alexander McQueen skull ring. & some of my other gold and black jewellery.

It was fun shooting this. I much prefer shooting objects than people, as you can probably tell from the rest of my blog..






I'm still on the lookout for the lifesized skull!

188. Alexander McQueen | Savage Beauty

This is the book published for the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty exhibit opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art tomorrow. Since I love/collect coffeetable books and I love Alexander McQueen, I HAD to have this. I was suprised at how fast it arrived - I ordered it on friday and it came yesterday (monday)!

The cover is the coolest thing ever. It turns from a golden skull into the face of Alexander McQueen..I attempted to take a video of it (posted on my FB) but found this video instead, which shows it much better:


& here's a few of my favourite pages from the book. I had to resist taking a picture of EVERY page lol:
