. WILLIAMS CAFE .
Happy New Year one and all. I hope you all had a fabulous time bringing in the new year last night whatever you may have been doing. My 31st December was a lovely day, starting with lunch in a fab little seafood cafe in a village called Nailsworth with my Dad and his Girlfriend (these pics are from the day), followed by some extremely impromptu shopping at which point I lost all self control and savings when I insanely (and rather excitedly) purchased the Canon 5D Mark III.
. Zara Shearling & Suede Gilet . Tosphop Snakeskin Coat . Pure Collection Cashmere Jumper ℅ £159 (now £95).
I kept things simple and cosy in my new burgundy boyfriend style Cashmere jumper from Pure collection & my new leather skirt and shearling gilet which I got for Christmas (and have been wearing non stop since). I’ve actually been wearing this cashmere jumper loads over the Christmas break as it’s so so soft and looks fab styled with my leather trousers / skirt. I’ve another outfit to share this week featuring the jumper styled slightly differently too.
I’ve been wishfully checking out the Canon 5D Mark III camera online daily and in store weekly and every day browsing photography sites & blogs looking to learn more about this art form & admiring some beautiful photography. I absolutely did not need this camera, my 550D & F1.4 lens are a perfect pairing and serve me well … but I have a penchant for treating myself and have been lusting after a full frame camera for months (I debated buying the 35mm F1.4 lens but at £1200 it seemed a lot) … so instead I bought a two and a half grand camera (logic?). My family all encouraged me given my daily photo taking and obsession with snapping pictures everywhere and of everything and my dad and I are booking ourselves into Photography school in 2014 to learn some new skills (new years resolution part I). I’m so so excited to get using my new camera and can’t wait to see what you all think of the photos when they’re on my blog.
New Years eve was spent with Jase and his family at home, canapés and champers in hand, we indulged in a night of poker (a first for us all) and jazz music … I lost all my money first (oh, the irony) so was dedicated as dealer for the night. It was a lot of fun & thankfully my head isn’t too hazy this morning (unlike last year).
Today will be spent relaxing and heading back to Winchester to spend the final days of my annual leave with my family before going back to London on Sunday ready for 2014 and work!!
I haven’t really set myself a lot of resolutions, as I never stick to them religiously, but photography school, getting healthy and adding regular fitness back to my life, as well as fulfilling my travel & holiday wish list are all things I’ll be looking to do in 2014.
Did you have a fab New Years Eve, what did you get up to? Have you set yourself resolutions for 2014?
