Today i want to introduce you this talented photographer Rebecca Seal-Davis: it’s really rare to find an emerging photographer with such skills and sharp eye. The most amazing thing is that she’s been working for 17 years as a therapist, and then she decided to take a break and start over with her passion for photography. I always admire people so brave to take this kind of decisions. I don’t know if she is a good counsellor, but I know one thing: she is going to go far with her art!
“I love extraordinary, edgy and colourful images and designs so I’m always looking to work with individual designers with inspiring ideas. I like to bring out the uniqueness and character of people.”
How did you start your journey into photography?
It was 2009 when I decided to pick up the camera that we’d had sitting around at home since 2007 when we bought it on holiday. My “debut” was shooting on the street in Spitalfields Market, I discovered I see art everywhere when I have a camera in my hand. From that moment I was hooked. Then I started taking my camera to latin dance clubs to shoot people dancing.

What the hell is macramé? In short: instead of weaving and knitting, you knot. You don’t use threads, you use cords. It traditionally is cotton, linen, hemp but it can be any thick yarn really. The classic look is that of a loose knitted “openwork”, and it screams summer from all of its knots!
When I was a child back in the 90s I used to have plenty of macramé pieces of clothing. I loved it! Macramé, tricot and basically everything with holes in it. I still have that addiction, and now I’m always on the hunt for devoré and the like, but this summer I’m especially fascinated by macramé.
Everything started from a visit to All Saints last summer: I really wanted one of those dresses but I was dead broke and couldn’t therefore afford it. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the picture of the awesome macramé skeleton dress, it was around £ 70 and it’s one of those things you regret for not buying!
The only downside to macramé is that is often really expensive. It’s hand knot afterall and class it’s not cheap!

If you still haven’t tried out dyeing your hair a crazy colour, you’re missing out darling! A couple of years ago you could use an excuse like it was “not safe for work”, or that people would glance at you on the street, or that it’s toxic for your hair. Nowadays you can throw all these things in the bin, cause they’re absolutely not valid anymore.
The only excuse you could have for not dyeing your hair if you love it, it’s that bleaching it is likely to ruin it a bit: but I’m telling you something, yu can cut your hair, and they do grow up again! If you’re blonde, you have no excuse.
It’s been quite a long since I’ve been addicted on all shades of green, blue, green and blue together, peacock, teal and “mermaid inspiration” in general. So what is generally meant by mermaid hair? Long, wavy, dip dyed or dyed green/blue hair. I have no personal experience with this kind of colour, since I’ve always died my hair in shades of pink! But I sure can suggest you the better brands to do so. Go Directions, Crazy Colour and Manic Panic and you won’t go wrong!

Be Yourself
With summer fast approaching, we’re all taking it easy when it comes to putting on a show. Summer is always more laid back, down to earth and relaxed… a perfect time to reflect on the madness that is everyday life. This week’s roundup did a lot of reflecting, from the poses we put on for our blogs, the hamster wheel of personal style on the web, going modest when everyone else is baring it all, letting our hair be it’s natural beautiful self, and even embracing your “eye bags.” If you’re wondering if fashion blogging is shallow or conscious or if Galliano deserves forgiveness this is the roundup for you this week! If you’re just looking for some excellent DIYs for the weekend, we’ve even got a great floral crown, handstamped jewelry, and shirt dyeing project for you!
