So today my outfit (I think it may be mainly down to the collar and hat) reminds me of a Parisian school girl, hence the post title. If I'm ever lucky enough to be taken to Paris (*hint hint*) I'll most definitely be wearing this burgundy hat! There's a possibility my high school French language classes may or may not suddenly return to me, because thinking about it now I can only remember a few words from that 4 year education. What a waste!

Ravi Famous kindly sent over this McQueen-inspired, chiffon, skull print dress, which will only set you back a measly £20 from their website. It's a perfect day-to-day dress to throw on with a pair of ankle boots and a chunky knit or velvet jacket. Rarely a day goes by anymore when I'm not wearing velvet!

I've decided it's essential, yes essential, that I own a DSLR for the benefit of both my blog and my illustration work. As you can tell from these photos, my camera at the moment is a little rusty! However, I'm not particularly camera savvy, so I'm looking for one that's perfect for beginners and within a reasonable price bracket. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
