Oh so hidden...

Photographs and words really do fascinate me. I'm one of those people who look into everything and for me, a photograph symbolises so many different things. Why is she looking over there? What is she looking at? Who is she waiting for? Where is she going? There are endless unanswered questions and this allows us to be imaginative, to decide on our own answers, to create a story that only we can see. 

Why am I blabbering on about photographs? Well, words fascinate me in the exact same way. If you look deep and beyond a sentence, a phrase, a word, there is so much more than you ever imagined. When you see Wardrobes.And.Recipes what do you see? Do you just see your messy old wardrobe with your Grandma's vintage recipe book, or have you searched beyond the words for hidden symbolism? 

Right, lets tell you why I decided on 'Wardrobes.And.Recipes' as my blog name; and believe me, it wasn't easy! 

WARDROBES

Fascinating little things really, aren't they? Each day you open them up to discover all your beautiful and old clothes just staring at you waiting to be displayed to the world. I believe the contents inside a wardrobe represent the owner to a T! Clothes can not only allow a person to express themselves but they help to create a persons identity.

The reason for choosing the word 'Wardrobe' is because they store the key to being YOU. If you want to be adventurous and go wild you can. If you want to play safe and be subtle you can. If you want to be lazy and whack on your onsie you can. 

Be Bold. Be Subtle. Be YOU.

My life will be complete when I own a Carrie Bradshaw wardrobe.

RECIPES

50g of this, 100g of that...

Recipes are a little bit too precise for my liking. Is it just me or do you feel a tad bossed around when reading them? What I love doing is mixing and matching...I love being creative therefore in the kitchen I am known for going a little crazy. If I want to throw in some brazil nuts(even though they weren't stated on the recipe) then I will do! If I want to drown my cakes in icing (because my sweet tooth took control) then I will do! Basically what I'm trying to say is that recipes are only there for guidance...they get you started but you must add your own unique, tasty touch. 

Therefore in my eyes, wardrobes and recipes both symbolise individuality. They both allow you to express yourself in any way that you choose. Wear whatever you like, add whatever you fancy, just be unique, and more importantly enjoy being YOU. 

OH and obviously I'm a BIG (I repeat) BIG lover of clothes and food...

Lets start with a brief introduction...

I LOVE capturing photographs so to sum myself up lets use some imagery! After all, who likes a boring intro? Pressure

一 

"Do NOT trip Kirsty, I repeat do NOT trip"

November 19^th 2012 I graduated from Solent University with a First Class Honours in BA Fashion With Photography – the long nights certainly paid off! I think I was actually more chuffed with the fact I managed to make it to the other side of the stage without stacking it rather than the degree itself! 

I am now applying the skills, knowledge and experiences that I acquired into the cRazY wOrLD oF FAshiON! Oh so exciting!! I shall explain in more depth in 2013, lets hope next year will be full of all things beautiful...

‘Do what you love, love what you do’

Trying my hardest to work the Harry Potter cloak...

Lets hope my wish comes true!

Saying I have a slight obsession with food is an understatement! I still haven’t figured out which I prefer; the food related dreams, the baking sessions, the instagramming part, or the actual indulging itself? Having said that, I’m now 99.9% certain that my last point is definitely my favourite! My latest craze is CAKEPOPS! I will show you a sneak peak of my beautiful little creations, however it would be rude if I didn’t treat you to an ENTIRE blog post on CAKEPOPS! I’m not sure about you, but my mouth is watering so swiftly moving on...

BeAuTiFuL SHoeS TaKe YOU to BEaUtiFuL PlAcEs...

I have worked for Kurt Geiger – Europe’s leading luxury shoe and accessory retailer for the past two and a half years. Sorry, there really was no need for the added description there. It's obvious Geiger = Luxury! I do spend the majority of my wages on shoes but I’m pretty sure I’m no different to any other KG girl?! (Pipe down to those of you who can resist the temptation).

So I’m just an ordinary girl, I LOVE shoes, I LOVE fashion, I LOVE food, I LOVE working hard, I LOVE learning, I LOVE creativeness, I LOVE independence, I LOVE ideas, I LOVE photographs, I LOVE Britain.

On top of all the above LOVES my final point is that my family and friends mean the world to me.  I’m sure you will hear a lot about these precious people as they really are a BIG part of my life.

First blog post complete – Hope there wasn't too many yawns floating about! 

 Night all.

Counting Sheep

After several long nights of attempting to count sheep I felt it was time I created my own blog. Putting together a blog post at 3am is relaxing right? Well I know it’s not healthy for my poor little eyes but typing away in the pitch black is somewhat a very relaxing thing. It inspires me. I get a mixture of deep, random, creative thoughts. I therefore apologies to you all now if there are some random blog posts! But who doesn’t love a splurge of randomness; it’s great to be different! After all, I despise counting sheep let alone being a sheep myself! 

Stand.Out.From.The.Crowd

Who am I? What do I do? What do I love? 

Once my posts start to flow I can assure you that you will feel like my best friend - I do love a good old natter! Right blog loving friends, I will round this post off and keep you on your toes for my next one (we all know you’re excited!)
