Are disposable cameras making a comeback?

Disposable cameras haven't been a trend since around 1990 but suddenly they are becoming a Tumblr obsession, it seems that blurry pictures have never been cooler!  I haven't used a disposable camera in about four years so as I was in Boots the other day, I decided to purchase one at quite a steep price of £7.50.
I took my disposable camera to the beach and you can see below how my photos turned out (not all of them turned out as good as these I'm afraid - there were lots of blurry photos, or photos which I had accidentally had the flash on for, or photos which I had my finger over the shutter) but they are the struggles of using a disposable, rather than a digital camera.  

I tried to be as creative as possible with my photos, so here are the photos I took on my visit to Cromer seaside:







In this blog post I also wanted to talk about digital cameras, I love photography and I always have but I couldn't always afford a camera (sadly I'm a student and not a millionaire) so when I was given a hand-me-down from one of my mums friends I was overjoyed.  My camera is a Sony A230 SLR with 18-55mm Lens - I love this camera, it is so simple to use and it focuses so fast.  I don't really know much about the technology side of cameras so my best advice is to go into a shop before committing to buying an expensive camera as you need a camera which will work for what you need it to do. 

Happy Snapping!

The Coolest Shop

Everyone has that one shop that they're obsessed with - mine is Brandy Melville.  

It is not a shop which is widely known in England, but in America it is huge.  I discovered this shop when I was in Los Angeles, and I took a liking to it because of its different interior design inside of the shop and the versatile pieces of clothing.  That is probably the best thing about Brandy Melville - one piece of clothing can be worn many times with different things and their clothing comes in colours which you can style with anything (you'll see that in the outfits below.)  Their prices are also a bonus as they are very reasonable for the quality you get - tops are mostly £10-£20 and trousers £20-£30.  


Tilden Pants - £27
Maura Top - £18

Ray Denim Shorts - £27
Caroline Cardigan - £39
Kaya Tank Top - £10

Armelle Skirt - £25
Charlene Top - £18
