    GEORGIA STEAD

    Essentially all the compartments of my brain spilled onto one web page. With lots of Sex and the City references.

    With the night now transforming into New Year's Eve, I thought what better way to end this year than with a post of ideal NYE looks, no matter your chosen form of celebration, as modeled by my fabulous sister, Margot.

    One: A simple but comfortable look of pyjamas and a baggy jumper. A reliable look which pairs nicely with a large mug of hot chocolate and lots of crappy New Year films. Like that one appropriately titled "New Year's Eve". Maybe even switch out the hot chocolate for a large glass of wine. Or a bottle. 


    Two: The classic combination of jeans and a good jumper, specifically made for family outings where you're likely to stand in the cold for an hour watching the same underwhelming fireworks as last year. But at least you're stylish under that giant winter coat. So what if no one can see.


    Three: The perfect look for a low-key house party that your parents probably don't know about; trousers and a nice top. Pairs well with the drink of all (underage) house party drinks, Strongbow Dark Fruits. Festive, comfortable and fun in every instagram photo you'll wish you hadn't been tagged in the next day.


    Four: A dress for all occasions. The mini dress. To be worn at both your aunt's kind-of-crap dinner party, and through every club in town once the clock strikes 11. It can even distract from the obvious face of disgust as you down that prosecco you really hate, but swear you love.


    Five: And finally the absolute epitome of glamour, the elegant black gown. Pairs well with an oversized wine glass and obviously lots of wine to fill it. It can also magically take you from a pair of strappy stilettos at the beginning of your night, to your trusty converse on the walk home from your friends' grown-up party. Don't forget the red lip to disguise the lack of effort put into the rest of your makeup. They'll never know how easy it was to look so good.


    Have a happy (and fashionable) New Year.

    I've been going back and forth about my university degree decision. Is it what I want to do? Is there something better I could be spending four years and £36,000 on? Pre-Paris trip, I was absolutely on the fence with no idea of what I wanted to be doing. I love French... but I also love photography. Both take up different areas of interest in my brain and both make me equally happy in different ways. I like that with French I'm always putting more knowledge into my brain about how to talk someone's ear off in a different language. But I like that with photography I can always challenge myself and go in so many different directions of creativity and imagination. I also like how hands on it can be. The building of mood boards and research that is then translated by shutter noises into final photos which strike pride into an artist. Pride and learning comes with both. And that's where I'm stuck. Or where I was stuck.

    Post-Paris trip I decided that after walking around my favourite place for three days it was the only place I wanted to be. The only place I could see myself. Therefore my only option must be to go to Paris in September to study French. But is it that I want to study France and it's language, or just that I want to be in Paris as soon as possible? I still don't know. 

    I've spent the day editing photos and manipulating colour. Inspired by the wintery blues, I just wanted everything to be bright and overwhelming. It reminded me of a particular aesthetic, called 'Acid', that I used to see on tumblr when I was in year eight and knew how to code. Probably wanting to revive my coding abilities, I put together a selection of photos, including some of my own and the words "What are you on?" came to mind. I was asked this by one of my beaut friends this week over messenger, because I was sending fun, lively messages as opposed to my usual messages, which apparently must be cynical and sarcasm-fueled. Despite it being a tongue-n-cheek saying, it made me think about what I was on, in the sense of projects and being switched on to things that I'm doing and developing. 

    I realised I've been on nothing. Just working and shopping and wishing I was being creative. Wishing I knew which degree was right for me. And I know if my parents read this they will be rolling their eyes because they know which one I should pick. But I still don't, and I don't really have much time to be this indecisive. But if you know me, you know that's exactly what I am. And right now I'm not creating, fuelling, producing enough to be proud of myself. But I want to be. And hopefully I will be, if I could just make a decision.

    What are you on?
