When I think of Shoreditch, the one word that immediately comes to mind is cool. And maybe that’s why I don’t frequent it very often because I think we’re all very aware that behind the Instagram filters and DSLR photography, I am anything but cool. However, after many “what is life?”, “what am I doing with life?” “Am I doing enough in life?” chats – i.e my over thinking mind getting the best of me as it always frickin does – talks of new projects arose and a week back I found myself shooting in Shoreditch and taking part in a project which I am beyond excited about. It also means working alongside my other half – the last time we did this was on “the only way is Essex” where we spent most of our time keeping Arg and Diags on a tight leesh – so it’s nice to be working together again on a subject we both love. London, Travel, Photography and life.
As the aforementioned other half – we’re all friends here so let’s just call him Dan shall we? I bloody hate ‘boyf’/’fiance’ etc. and you have full permission to punch me in the face if I ever refer to him as D – was with me, I thought I’d make the most of having our cameras and my resident photographer to hand and got him to snap a couple of outfit pics. Hence the ridiculously dull/casual outfit and just washed “Hi I’m a Hagrid impersonator” hair.
Kimono – River Island / Top – Forever 21 / Jeans – ASOS / Slingback loafers – Office / Bag – New look

Now that I’m done with fannying around in front of the camera, it’s time to go back to my real passion which is being behind it. I mentioned on Instagram – you can follow me here if you fancy #ShamelessPlug – that I was working on a really exciting project and I really can’t wait to share that with you.
So that brings me to the end of my little “Shoreditch shoots” posts (which we all know was used purely for the alliteration satisfaction). I must say, this was one of my favourite days in a long time. I love full time blogging but I do occasionally miss shooting so it was good to play “professional producer” Elle (rather than eat, sleep, blog, repeat Elle) for a day 😉
As always, thanks so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed this post!
Not a dull outfit at all! I love that kimono, lovely pictures! Also if you think your hair resembles hagrids I dread to think what you would think mine resembles haha!
As if you guys worked on Towie- thats crazy! haha 🙂 Absolutely adore this look babe, the kimono is super cute and that pastel blue bag- I WANT ONE!! You look beautiful and your hair looks very Fleur Delacour, very un-Hagrid
Your outfit is far from dull – that kimono is seriously a beauty! Totally agree that Shoreditch is 'cool', I have to admit I do feel kinda out of place there…doesn't stop me from going though 😉
OMG Elle, this is probably one of my favourite posts from you – that kimono is just beautiful! And the photos themselves are just stunning – just a great shoot xx
Shoreditch seems like such a cool, edgy area. Your photos are lovely, as usual. I also really like the little bag and the kimono. A great way to brighten up a black outfit. 🙂
Everything looks fab! Especially your kimono, jeans and bag… I want them, aren't they so pretty!!! I had to laugh when I saw that sign saying "Please use toilets provided" in order for council to put it there, they had some incidents haha 🙂 probably men… Great photos as always xx
I love River Island for kimono tops. I have one my mum bought me for my birthday a few years ago and I still love it and don't think I'll ever part with it! x
NO BUT THOSE BAG SHOTS THOUGH. All the shots are fab but THOSE BAG SHOTS. I mean, I love the outfit too (for all it's dull casual-ness) and this is an all around lovely post, but I think that photo of your bag in a cracked post is possibly my favourite ~arty~ thing I've seen this month. Super excited to see what you have in store 😀
I love the colorful background in your photography! Hahah, I also like the way you write, " Hagrid impersonator hair". Girl, we all have those days but you look stunning! 😉
Actually in love with that kimono, so pretty! And I am yet to buy myself a pair of ripped jeans, can't believe I haven't bought myself some yet. Lovely outfit! x http://coffeeatmidnight13.blogspot.co.uk/
I still haven't visited Shoreditch but I really want to do that next as I keep hearing/seeing so many good things about it. I love your outfit and I think the bag adds the perfect pop of colour. Looking gorgeous as always x
Dan did a brilliant job, these are brilliant photos of both you and the area – the second image down of you is so beautiful! I'm with you on the 'what is life, what am I doing with life, am I doing enough in life' thought process by the way haha 🙂
Really cute outfit dear, and very interesting location love it. What I'm also loving is that bag it is super cute I like the color gorgeous! http://artadorned.com/
Shoreditch + cool = me circa 2009 walking around east London in knee high socks and my granddad's cardigans drinking red stripe….. right?!
I really do need to spend more time there though, I love the Hoxton Hotel. Such great cocktails! Your outfit looks lovely. I'm sure you coolness wasn't questioned by anyone 😉
I love your outfit. I avoid Shoreditch at all costs, I feel SO uncomfortable there, it's so far removed from my comfort zone – I'm definitely not cool, edgy or creative enough for it! xx
