“My life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen'

So after buying a Diana camera about a month ago now, for a trip to London, i finally have my photos back! This made me think it was probably perfect timing to do a review! About the camera itself, it looks AMAZING! The amount of people that were staring at it hanging around my neck was unbelievable, it was almost like nobody had seen a camera before! After getting used to loading a film into it, it was alot easier. However the first time, i did ruin some film, but practice makes perfect hey?! Taking the actual photo was easy! As long as you remember to wind it to the next one, which i may have forgot to do, hence my picture with two images on it! I haven't got round to using the flash yet, but my god, that makes the camera look beautiful! And the colour filters with it, i bet the make the images look good, but again, not got round to using them yet! So i collected my photos, four weeks after taking them to be developed! (Apparently getting a 120mm film developed is harder, and more expensive then you would imagine!) I have to say i'm slightly disappointed with some of the photos, but again, i think i set my standards for myself quite high! There are only 10 photos, instead of the 16, but that is probably my fault! I still have another film that is half used, that i can't wait to get developed, hopefully it'll be better! One thing i have learnt, remember to focus the lens, i didn't even realize you had to do this until my boyfriend pointed it out, thankfully, they were all in focus! Also, you have to take the photos off to the side a bit, which i have noticed now i have my photos back. All the things i wanted to be in the middle are just off to the side a bit! D'oh! As for the two photos that are exactly the same, i have no idea what happened there! I don't even remember taking the photos! Must be the ghosts again! If anyone has one of these cameras, i'd love some tips! I am also in the process of hunting down a La Sardina camera, so i have a 35mm camera too! If anyone has one for sale, who is in England, let me know! :D

P.S: I am still after 35mm films for my bag project, so can you let me know if you have any?

P.P.S: If anyone can help me with my blog layout, and pictures, i've noticed some people put writing over theres, how do you do that? HELP NEEDED! 

P.P.P.S: If anyone would be interested in buying copies of any photos, let me know, and i can find prices for prints/copies!

'To infinity and beyond'

It was one of them nights, where, yet again, I was bored on my lunch break. So in true 'Vintage Queen' fashion I went eBay shopping. My regular searches consist of 'shirt', 'Doc martens' and 'vintage.' On this particular day it was a 'vintage shirt' that I went hunting for, and boy did I find one! It was a floral, dusty pink, remade shirt. The pockets and collar tips had been covered in leather with studs on! I loved it! It was being sold by Doba_tribe_clothing. So a few days later when the item was ending on auction, I instructed my mum to bid on it for me - items are always ending when I'm at work, or on my way! I always have a limit on what I'll spend, and for this item it was £10 without postage. I had explained to my mum how much I LOVED this shirt and would be so gutted if I didn't win it. So, as per usual, I won. However, she had gone over my limit, by 11p, but I was ecstatic! 

So when my shirt arrived I have to say, I wasn't that impressed. The material wasn't what I expected, it was more cord material, I thought it'd be a thin, sheer shirt. I generally wear my shirts sleeves down, buttoned right up, well on this item, that doesn't look right. I have to say I haven't worn it out yet, and i'm not sure I'm going to. However, i haven't sold it on, because i still love it so much! So maybe one day, i'll wear it, and realise my love for it again! Saying that, I would buy from the seller again, they had described it perfectly, and if they made it, I am impressed by the quality! It makes me want to try and make something like this! If anybody has any ideas what i could wear this with, let me know! I'd love to wear it!
