Photo Diary: July

A lot of things have happened this month, I got accepted by the University of the West of England in Bristol to study a Msc in Marketing Communications and I secured a flat in Bristol with my boyfriend ... so in a few weeks I will be moving country and starting a masters eek! I'm terrified but also really excited

a kills tshirt that Chris bought me and a velvet bow choker from ASOS

I really enjoyed reading this book this month!  It is an autobiography by Viv Albertine who played guitar for the Slits, before reading this book I didn't really who Viv was but I loved the way she writes so honestly about being a women and an artist in the punk scene, if you liked Patti Smith's book Just Kids then I think you'll love this too

I also worked at Next for their summer sale, I'm trying to get some work experience so someone will actually hire me for $$$ at some point

I went to see the Neon Demon but I was totally disappointed and left early. I was really excited to see it because I love stylized movies and it reminded me of a cross between Suspiria and Under the Skin but in reality the poor direction and awkward dialogue kills the movie's potential.

I went to Caerphilly Castle with Chris last month because we thought we would do something touristy for one of my last visit to Wales

we also went back the Lab 22 in Cardiff for the best cocktails

I bought the deluxe lp of The Last Shadow Puppets latest album. I'm obsessed with the song Miracle Aligner and I really wanted it on vinyl. You get a coloured 7 inch of Bad Habits and a booklet with the deluxe version so its totally worth the extra £5

look how cute hehe

I also bought this Lou Reed compilation at a market for £8! 

I got a balyage colour in my hair but I'm not really happy with it because its made my hair so dry and its not the all over colour I wanted so I'll probably get it cut shorter again soon :)

I'm also selling some things on my depop, including these ASOS heels, my username is emmamarieod ... help fund my move to Bristol!

Photo Diary: Dublin, Cocktails, The Kills

May was very eventful. I finished college, moved back home and spent most of my time job hunting (still no luck!). I'm quite sad to have left Dublin and my little UCD circle but hopefully the next stage of my life will be as exciting. The first picture is from this post three years ago when I first visited UCD, I'm feeling pretty nostalgic

my film peeps 

celebrating with cocktails

best cheesecake! If you happen to be in Donegal, I recommend The Yellow Pepper for eats

went for a little stroll along Dun Laoghaire Pier with Chris 

pretending to be all chill (top and sunnies from River Island)

Dublin Castle - I've lived in Dublin for three years but I'm still sightseeing hehe

they make Penny Dreadful here so if you wanna be an extra ...

Chris is obsessed with Orchard Thieves, Heineken if you're reading (which I'm sure you are) please bring this to the UK!

visited my family in Carrick Finn, the beach there is so beautiful, even on a less than sunny day

my parents went to London and brought me back lots of goodies from The Rolling Stones Exhibition - people are going to actually think I went :P I wish I could have though, it looks so good

My parents got me these amazing boots from Office for my birthday (even though its 3 months away) I feel like Bowie in them

In March I pre-ordered The Kills new limited edition vinyl and I was part of the lucky 250 who got a signed zine with it :) woo!

I'm pretty unsure with how summer will go this year but I'm going to put a lot of work into writing and blogging

Photo Diary: Beaches, Bowling and Blondie

insta pictures from summer so far :)

I went to the beach last week, it was a lot more cold than it looks so I didn't get a chance to sunbathe :(

this picture makes Ireland look a lot more exotic than it is

I went to Derry shopping last week and I picked up a record, a purse from River Island and a few things from Topshop

St. Vincent record

bowling

me and Chris before we went out <3

the best smelling perfume and the sweetest present

wishing I was in Paris already :P

Photo Diary: Strawberry Wine

hey :) its been ages since I've updated. I started college in September and I've been so busy. I'm studying English, Film and Art History, majoring in English. This is a picture of my university, we have two lakes I have no idea why but it looks pretty...

I got a flat near the centre of town, its not that pretty but its near uni so I cant complain. I thought Id post some pictures from my instagram, I didn't bring my nikon with me this semester so I have been taking many pictures

I love this cute little velvet hairband from Topshop

(hairband - topshop, tshirt - river island, skirt - river island)

I'm going to wear this little red dress for Christmas, its from New Look

I wish I bought this top so much

(top - topshop skirt - river island)

Im so glad Im home for Christmas, I finally have time to read Morrissey's autobiography, hoping for some embarrassing teen stories

I went to see MGMT in October, it was fun, they had such a light show/video thing hehe and they played lots of songs from their second album which I love 

I've been listening to lots more shoegaze recently, mostly this album on repeat. I made this mix for my friends birthday and it has some of my favourite shoegaze songs on it

I went to the Irish Museum Modern Art for Art History for assignment on contemporary art and I really liked this exhibition. It engages with the concept of beauty and aesthetic, presenting modern interpretations of Hogarth's Line of Beauty

I haven't got a Christmas jumper I feel so left out :( I'm not festive enough anyway hehe although I cant wait to spend all day watching movies and sleeping (◡‿◡)
