Damien Hirst at the Tate Modern

Engaging in further cultural activity, I have dragged out my friend to see the Damien Hirst exhibition at the Tate Modern.

It being multiple collections in one exhibition, it was rather strange to see a variety of pieces ranging from beautiful to boring to almost disgusting.

One of his most iconic pieces were the shark suspended in formaldehyde, 'The Physically Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living' 1991, his spot and butterfly paintings and the diamond skull, 'For the Love of God', 2007.

My favourite works were the butterfly pieces, which Hirst uses as a symbol of beauty and the inherent fragility of life.
These butterflies are often arranged into complex patterns reminiscent of medieval stained glass church windows or kaleidoscopic mandala-like forms.
I was looking at one of these pieces for probably over 10 minutes, to be able to take in the colours and patterns, and because sharing is caring, below are my favourite snaps ( very unprofessionally taken, so feel free to also google).

Cut Out Skull T-Shirts

Now this is something that I absolutely love because it is easy to DIY it at home!
Seen in various street style edits, it seems that this casual cut-out-shirt look is coming at us fast.
What I would love to see, is somebody combining this trend with pastels or flouro. Maybe that somebody should be me and you, so here the promise that I will upload a picture should I have a go at it.

Dip-Dye Denim Shorts

As the days are getting warmer (where?! , I hear you ask), we have seen more and more super cute dip-dye denim hot pants crop up on the high street.
Now, I am a huge fan of the sort of festival/hippie look so I absolutely love them and got myself - despite the rain and just general polar temperatures - a hot pair of shorts from Zara, and am now waiting even more impatiently than ever for the sun to come out so I can wear them.

Amazing shorts also seen in TopShop and Asos, so check out the picks below... and get the fake tan out :)
