Black is beautiful

Last weekend was a fun weekend...Went to Bootylicious in Vauxhall with Ib & Illy for a night out in the city.

 Starting with flashing lights that would look so amazing as a print

Roof top

I am currently working on a 7 weeks project with John Lewis.  After selling my creativity in a contract with them, I guess it is only fair to also point out that it is a project that will look pretty awesome in my CV.  We are in the process of designing a range for Menswear...More about this project later.  For now here, are pictures from yesterday after school, taken by my little sister :)

Riding to the port

Part two of my adventure in Santorini with Lynds.  On the same day after our 'posh' and very yummy wine tasting, we got back to the city center and rode the donkeys to the port of the island.  So much fun, yet scary at time because the donkeys were nothing like I had imagined (skinny and small), instead they were the size of horse and a little chubbier if you ask me.  Just saying...
But here you go, starting with the 'donkey whisperer' helping me get on the donkey :D

Nom Nom (cheese, wine and bread)

Greece, Santorini, an amazing and beautiful place!  A 5 days trip that was just in time before starting school again tomorrow, 3 of which were spent on this little island.  Being that I am a bit of an alcoholic every now and then, Lynds and I visited one the wineries in Thira.  Here is a preview of how we spent our day starting with good eats...
Morning shakes 
Crêpe in the morning 
 And then we went to Santo Winery

 The breathtaking view was the perfect setting for the yummy tasting...

And of course we took a tour in the winery...

Jean on jean

Quick post!

Earlier this week, I let my hair run wild and free.  Wild as an untamed beast and as free as the wind.  Plus I think it complimented with my over sized men's jean shirt :)

On another note, I've started a 30 day challenge to drop a few pounds.  Follow me on Instagram ( @labelloola ) to find out more about my progress. Happy Saturday, xx.

Take 1,2,...

Today's shot were taken just a couple of hours ago on campus, in the exhibition room.  So please keep in mind that the art in the background is from the talented students here, at LCF.  Here, my shots have been photoshopped just because I like playing around the colors and shades, gives them a different feel. 
The scarf is handmade by me.  It was a college project using acid/bleach and dye to make the patterns colors on it.
