A day in the life of the Cloudberry girl


On one of my previous posts I mentioned that I had been modelling for the handbag company Cloudberry bags. I thought I would share with you what I did a couple of weeks ago at a photo-shoot in Midhurst, with the photographer Kerry Jordan. All the links of who we worked with will be at the bottom of the posts.
 
** Warning photo heavy **
 
We were having the photos taken outside of Cowdray ruins and in Midhurst town which was a beautiful backdrop for the photos. I started by having my make up and hair done by Debbie. I had never had my make up done professionally before so it was a brilliant experience. I had a gorgeous smoky eye which I absolutely loved. I also had my foundation put on with an airbrush which was so relaxing and stayed on for the whole of the photo-shoot. The red lipstick matched the red bag which we were promoting beautifully. I also had my hair backcombed and pinned to the side.
 
 
 
I was dressed in clothes from Woodie and Morris which is shop in Haslemere owned by Mel. The jeans fitted like a glove and were a lovely colour. I also loved the navy leopard print patterned blazer. The nude peep toe wedges were a classic which I would love in my shoe collection. All of this is available on the website which will be linked at the end.
 
 
The jewellery used in the shoot was by a lovely lady called Kelly who owns two online jewellery shops - My new fave and PS I love you. Both of which you can find details for at the end! My favourite piece was the feather bangle which is so elegant and easy to wear with any outfit.
(I have now got my own!)
 
 
 
Here you can see the beautiful necklace, bracelet and ring. The ring was sweet, it had wings!
 
 
I had a really good day doing this photo-shoot and felt completely at ease, and it wouldn't of been possible without Kerry. The photo's look so good and I was very privileged to have worked with such lovely people. If you haven't ever visited Midhurst I would highly recommend it - It's a beautiful town with cute little shops and gorgeous walks.



The bag used in the shoot is from the company Cloudberry Bags. It is the Knightsbridge in Red which is £35. It also comes in a range of other colours.


 
And finally the star of the show Scout the whippet. Who was so brilliant throughout the whole shoot. I wish my dog was as well behaved when your trying to take a photo!!




I really did feel like a celebrity with my own personal make up artist and entourage! It was a great day with some lovely people that I hope I get to meet all again.

Get to know me tag

 
I figured it had been a while since I had done one of these and I may have new followers.
So here is 21 questions and answers about me!
 
1. Are you named after anyone? No, I don't think so! I was very nearly called Scarlett.
2. When was the last time you cried? I honestly can't remember. Maybe last month, but not over anything inparticular. I sometimes just have a good cry, it makes me a feel a little better. (Is that weird?)
3. Do you have children? No.
4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself? I think so? I'm not sure! That's a strange concept.
5. Do you use sarcasm a lot? I'm afraid so. I may be a little insensitive when I am.. Oops.
6. Will you ever bungee-jump? It depends. If I was raising a lot of money for a charity then maybe!
7. What’s your favorite cereal? Now that's a difficult one. It's between Chocolate frosties and cinnamon grahams.
8. What’s the first thing you notice about people? Whether they make eye contact and whether they smile. A smile costs nothing and can make somebody's day!
9. What is your eye colour? Hazel
10. Scary movie or happy endings? Happy endings. If I watch a scary film I can't sleep and always think somebody is watching me (weird) I like going to sleep after watching something happy!
11. Favorite smells? Freshly baked cakes, bleach and red velvet cupcakes Yankee candle.
12. Summer or winter? Winter. My birthday is on November 1st. So I love from the middle of October all the way through to spring. I absolutely love comfy cardigans and boots.

14. What’s the furthest you’ve ever been from home? Turkey on several holidays.
15. Do you have any special talents? I would like to say my job is my talent. Being a hairdresser I like to experiment and try all new styles.
16. Where were you born? Oxford.
17. What are your hobbies? Blogging, baking, shopping, walking my pup, summer evenings at the beach.
18. Do you have any pets? Yes. I have a 7 month old Jack Russell cross Cavachon puppy called Marnie Moo. I also have a bearded dragon called Dwayne.
19. Favorite movie? The notebook. I cry and cry and cry. But ahhhh Ryan Gosling...
20. Do you have any siblings? Yes. I have two younger sisters. Emily who is 15 and Abigail who is 9.
21. What do you want to be when you grow up? A hairdresser with lots of experience and eventually a mother.
 
I hope you learnt a little bit more about me.
Feel free to do this for your own blog, tag me as I always love to read other peoples.
 
Much love,

Casual OOTD - Gold Jelly like shoes


Hi there.
I am trying to put up at least one post a week, so I think I'm doing quite well as this is my third this week. I figured that as I love seeing other peoples OOTD's I would put more up of my own. My days off are Sundays and Tuesdays, so on those days I do like to make a bit more of an effort - But still being comfortable.
My wardrobe pretty much consists of high waisted jeans, crop tops and big batwing cardigans. So I generally chuck on any of these on my days off. My favourite place for high waisted jeans is either Topshop or River Island as they have the choice of leg lengths.


Here is what I am wearing today:
Jelly like shoe's from Asos. I have looked if they still do them but can't seem to find them.
High waisted super skinny jeans from Topshop. They are in the colour Pansy.
Black floaty peplum crop top from Topshop. They also have them in white.
Batwing stone colour cardigan from Boohoo. I have another one of these in black. They are so easy to throw on with any outfit. They are also only £12 and are such good quality.
Accessories:
My necklace I found in a Miss Selfridge sale back at Christmas.
My watch is from Sekonda and all my bracelets are different ones from various shops - New Look, Accessorise and Primark.  



This is a very photo heavy post. But I like to see lots of detail on people's photo's.
Let me know what you think.
Have a lovely day in the sun.
Much love,
Nat xox
