2ND PHOTO BY SHOPE


I received this gorgeous set from Cosabella a little while ago and I've been really excited to share my thoughts with you guys as I'm so in love with it! I have previously blogged about swimwear - not yet underwear - but I'm totally comfortable with it and as I did mention in - my haul video, I love seeing what new underwear bloggers find because I'm always in the market for new sets!

My whole life I've always worn basic underwear from Primark or M&S because I saw it as a necessity and it's affordable from those two places - but owning some super pretty undergarments has made me realise you get what you pay for, so in my case I've never got anything special.

Then this little Cosabella set came along and I'm so obsessed with it, I mean, for a start it's ombré - super on trend and unique. It's also in the triangle shape which is ~all the rage~ lately and I've been on the hunt for a good triangle bra for a while. The lace is stretchy but firm so er..keeps you all in, as well as being breathable for the summer weather and to top it all off, it's the comfiest underwear I've ever worn - no word of a lie; support and comfort is a new discovery for me and It's set almost unrealistic expectations for future bras - think I definitely need some more Cosabella in my life!

Diana Mini

 

 

As promised, here are some of the pictures from a film roll that I used in my new Diana mini. I'm really happy with the way they turned out, however they don't really look that much different than pictures I took with disposeable cameras at Reading Festival, with the exception of awesome double exposures.  I still think that the Diana is definitely worth the money though, and look forward to experimenting with it more!

London Lomography Trip!

So I had Freshers on Thursday, which meant that my college had an inset day on Friday, as everyone would be knackered, so as my Dad let me down last week he took me to the Lomography store in London so I could redeem my £50 off Groupon voucher!  The store is located in Soho and it's honestly so cool.  The walls are covered in pictures taken by the various lomo cameras and it was just generally awesome! I did have a little look at some of the cameras, but I had done a little research beforehand and decided I was most interested in the Diana mini, as it shoots half frames as well as full frames, meaning that instead of only getting 36 pictures from a roll of film, I can get 72!  It's also, obviously a really nice, small size so won't take up all the room in my bag.  The original colour is actually a black body with the top part blue, but I decided that I liked the white better, as it's a lot cleaner and cute, so worth the extra tenner for the nicer colour in my opinion.  There were a load more, including the new blue and green ones, but I stuck with the white.  Originally I planned on just buying the camera, as the flash isn't always completely necessary, as you can always stick to daytime photography, but the guy that worked at the stall said that eventually, I would start to expand to flash photography with my Diana, and the pack which includes the flash is cheaper than buying it separately, and it comes with an adapter so I can use it with my SLR, and some cute gels so I can tint my photos pretty colours!  The pack also comes with a lovely inspirational book which includes examples of Diana mini photography and the great little qualities it has.  Also, check the shopping bags you get, they look like huge cameras, there were a few sizes, all with different cameras, so cool!

I've only had it for 2 days, but already I've used up about 65 of 72 frames! It's really made me think more like a photographer, spotting photo opportunities constantly, and getting creative with long shutter speeds and double exposures already!  In case you're wondering, I bought the Lomography ISO 400 colour negative film, which costs £8.90 and contains 3 rolls, available to buy online here.

Anyway, kudos to anyone who actually read all that!  I hope it helped if anyone's looking into buying lomo, I'll get my film roll developed when I've used it up and post it on here, so you can see how they turn out.  Also, apologies for the low quality pictures in this post; I left my camera at my mums house so had to make do with my phone!
