Camden Town: A Video Post
Another video!! I had to go to Camden to do a little research for a Street Style book i’m putting together for university, and maybe I have too high a standard because I didn’t manage to find anybody that I wanted to photograph - obviously they are all sane and were avoiding the weekend crowds.
This meant we had the time to make another video! I say we, but it’s pretty evident from the video that I was more interested in shopping - Miguel kept catching me by surprise, resulting in a lots of clips of me awkwardly poking my tongue out..! We were going for a different feel from the original video we made - I hope you like it!
If you’ve been to London, you’ve probably been to Camden. Being there reminds me of being at some sort of festival, all the food, the loud music, the huge variety of people. I hope we’ve managed to capture what it feels like at Camden Markets on a Saturday for those of you that have never been. (and if you want any additional info on shopping in Camden, feel free to ask!)
The music is by The Libertines and the clothes (i’m afraid to say..!) are all from Topshop - I didn’t plan on wearing the red beret again, but it gave the dark outfit a much needed colour-pop! And I finally got to wear my winter boots! xx

LOVE that song in the video!!
Great post, yet again
October 25th, 2009 at 11:49 am
The video is really good and you look absolutely lovely!
October 25th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Nice video! I didn’t buy my perfect winter boots thinking I could get them from a different branch, but unfortunately I’ve not seen them anywhere. I still need to get some because my feet are freezing
October 25th, 2009 at 11:53 am
love your hair
October 25th, 2009 at 11:53 am
I say you managed to capture the best of what Camden has to offer on a not-so-nice day, but it’d be a great constrast if you made another film about Camden on a really sunny day! Not saying I didn’t love this one, you make all your films so cozy and warm despite the weather and I love that

Lovely video and photos! This friday I will visit London, I will try to spend some time in Camden Town!
October 25th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
I loved it. I just got home after a 7 days vacation in London, we lived in Camden. You should try to go up to Chalk Farm underground, there is a kick ass vegan cafe - they have the best cheese cake. And the man who owns it, is so kind! Anyway, my experience is that there often is some cool people around a pub called the enterprise. Good luck with the book!
October 25th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
I love the video! I’ve always wanted to go to London, and Camden in particular, it’s made me very very very determined to get myself on a train, and fork out to get there! Haha
You’ve made me hungry with them pictures, that I could, to be honest, eat right now. Such perfect winter boots, I’m still on a hunt for mine, hopefully they’ll appear soon!
Thanks for the comment on my blog by the way, you’re my favourite blogger, and it made me very happy to see you’d posted on mine :’]

you’ve inspired me to walk down the road (I am blessed to live in Camden) and get involved in the markets even though its the weekend and sure to be crowd hell!
October 25th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Oh my, Camden Town looks so exciting! The British soundtrack of this video is also a great choice, but maybe I’m biased because I love everything that has something to do with Pete Doherty
your smile’s adorable, too!
October 25th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I need to go there!!
Looby xx
October 25th, 2009 at 1:15 pm

Such an adorable video — and as many have said, inspirational! I love fash-blog videos.
I did want to pop in and say (and I really don’t do this frequently, I swear!) that my blog-partner (Jenny) and I recently posted a collaborative discussion on the “art” of overdressing, or rather, investigating the implications of overdressing. Things like: is it impolite to overdress, and where? What class assumptions do people make based on someone who’s overdressed? Plus, obviously, we tell embarrassing high school stories about ourselves! I thought this might be interesting to fashion bloggers who don’t otherwise read our blog, because it touches on something that affects all of us (being, some or of a lot of the time, the most dressed-up person in the room).
Anyway, after all that ramble, the post is here: http://fashionforwriters.com/2009/10/25/ffw-heart-to-heart-wearing-a-cocktail-dress-to-the-grocery-store-or-the-implications-of-overdressing/
Thanks for all the work you put into the blog –

love the video…very creative and interesting. And your outfit is adorable
October 25th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
What a fun video! Your boyfriend is really talented. I really like your lace-up boots!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Great video! And cute outfit!
October 25th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Girl, this place is amazing. Where I live (Brazil), it’s really hard to find some cute places to go. Oh, the video it’s great too. I love your clothes, including the adorable red beret that you’re repeting =P
I’m from Brazil, but my blog is written in english too.

Camden is so much fun! I haven’t been there in a few years but it was by far one of my favorite stops in England. Your street style book project sounds great! Will you be posting any samples from it?
October 25th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
You’re so beautiful dear !! I love your video posts, and of course the setting is great, you look like you’re in a movie !
October 25th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Such a wonderful video!
I love the song, too.
xx
October 25th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Wow, Camden seems to have changed so much since I first went there 5 or 6 years ago! I’m planning a quick trip there tomorrow actually, I hope there are still a few things that haven’t changed! x
October 25th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
this is a fabulous post, love every bit of it!
October 25th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
the video is so cute!
October 25th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I was actually in Camden yesterday! I recognize that donut stand for sure. Love the shoes.
October 25th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
You are precious! The only thing missing from these videos is us getting to hear your voice!
High five to Miguel too for his amazing work. They’re really well put together and it’s so nice getting to see your outfits in real time!
October 25th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
p.s. that video….fantastic!!! what kind of camera are you shooting with?
October 25th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Your videos are so sweet! They make me wish I had a video camera equipped boyfriend too : D
And Camden is cool, but I always get this little awkward feeling that I’m in a tourist trap while i’m there.. from what I’ve heard it’s really not the same it used to be. Nonetheless it’s definitely worth visiting and there’s still some amazing shops if you know where to look. I like North London generally as a lot of my favourite London venues are on that area. Aaaahh you always make me miss London so badly!!
ps thanks for your lovely comment x
October 25th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Love your video
nearly watched it twice.. I want to go to Camden so badly now..
October 25th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
I have the same question with amanda:)
a real enjoyable post!!
October 25th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
To those of you asking about equipment/editing, I posted a bit of info on the Vimeo page itself at http://www.vimeo.com/7240161
October 25th, 2009 at 6:54 pm

October 25th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
i LOVE this song carrie!you made my day- btw this video is very niiiice:>
October 25th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
That video camera/SLR is so amazing!! And you look beautiful in the pictures and in motion. But I’m sorry my attention was so so on the glazed donuts. Mmmm…
October 25th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
I was going to say with such beautiful narrow depth of field this must’ve been shot on a Canon! I wish Nikon would come out with an SLR that shoots video
Gorgeous! This works well as a Camden Tourism video as you’ve made me want to jump on a plane and visit!

October 25th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
I love todays post.
Ahhhhhhhhh, good video
October 25th, 2009 at 8:07 pm

Nice to see you smiling in it too!

October 25th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
This is soooooo good! I really can’t get over the mood of the whole thing. It’s really beautiful and the music matches perfectly. It feels like a day in your life. Definitely keep doing these video posts!
October 25th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
@ miguel: one question!
i love colour of this video, so i ask to you: do you film the scene and then you edit it, or the camera has the that colour-option!!???
October 25th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Oh my this video is just so so so so amazing!! You’ve made me really miss London (well you and another blogger that’s living there….), I miss that very last day I spent there this summer, I spent the whole morning in Camden as I was catching my flight back to Barcelona in the afternoon and I remember some of the places featured in the video really well….
I’ll keep asking, where are you studying Carrie??? It looks so interesting and I definitely want to know how it’d be to move to London to study
October 25th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Your video blogs are so amazing, I love them! Your outfit is wonderful, i love your high waist shorts. I will definitly visit Camden when i’m in London.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
the video was delightful! it made me smile! i cant wait to see more video posts. love the hat, btw!
October 25th, 2009 at 10:48 pm

grand choice of song.

October 26th, 2009 at 12:57 am
I was curious about the camera also. I love how retro it makes the whole video seem.
October 26th, 2009 at 2:19 am
wow, your video is wonderful. Such a vintage looking vignette of Camden! I hope to visit London when I go to graduate school in Wales next year! Your street style book will be so winning!
October 26th, 2009 at 5:09 am

October 26th, 2009 at 5:40 am

October 26th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I have to hand it to you, these videos are just awesome.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:52 am
You captured Camden perfectly! Ahh I love the videos.
October 26th, 2009 at 11:53 am
what camera did you use for this video?
October 26th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Those little cupcakes are so adorable. Did you have one? The icing looks different than what we have here in the US.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:31 pm

October 26th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
The video is brilliant! I think the videos are great, something really fresh for blogging and t’s great.
I saw the umbrella when you posted here and posted on twitter about it and my boyfriend who’s studying in Southampton (I’m in Belfast) bought it for me without telling me as a surprise to cheer me up! It arrived today, now I can’t wait for rain!
So thanks for posting it, and bringing a little bit of romance into my life haha.
October 26th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Gorgeous photos and another amazing video!! You guys are so inspiring!!
October 26th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
You don’t smile a lot…
October 26th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Great video, reminds me a lot of my vacation. I just love it. I found that Brick Lane is a very cool place for pictures too (and for shopping :)).
October 26th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I like the video - you’re a great team it seams :).
More London videos yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Keep them coming :))).

I LOVE london and all the markets on it! I would get lost in any og them.
I think you would like this http://www.princesadelabocadefresa.com/ it’s a website from a friend who makes accessories herself and you remind me all she does
October 27th, 2009 at 12:03 am
After going through all of your archives, I ADORE your blog
Your style is so refreshing amidst the sea of studded, androgynous alexander wang bloggers who seem to be taking over the internet!
The videos are so lovely, particularly this one.
What is the name of this song? It suits perfectly!
x
October 27th, 2009 at 12:48 am
Perfect music choice! I’ve been to London several times but never to Camden - just never seem to have gotten the chance (or have been too skint to tempt myself!)
October 27th, 2009 at 1:17 am
cannon 5d mark II?? it didn’t look big enough… is it the new digi rebel?
anyway i love these videos. the hd quality is making me rethink my love for nikon. i loved the dust/frame shift that was added to make it look like film!
October 27th, 2009 at 10:18 am
The video is great, and you look amazing! <3
October 27th, 2009 at 11:11 am
Lovely post, quite a talented duo you two are!
October 27th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Libertines are the best!
October 27th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Is you bf studying it at university? He seems very talented.
xx
October 28th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
veryyyy cool video! i love it.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
I also would love to know if you alter the color of your photos afterwards and just how you go about doing that? Any links to tutorials or anything would be much appreciated!
October 28th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
I adore the video - it was just so cute and of course, the Libertines music was awesome. I used to be obsessed with them back in the day! It got me all nostalgic.
I hope you have more video posts in the future! I think you captured the mood and atmosphere of Camden markets quite nicely. I would love to go there one day but this is the next best thing!
October 29th, 2009 at 6:42 pm

October 30th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Thank you so much for the awesome video! I’m going to London (and Camden, again, I LOVED it last time I was there) in March, so this video just reminded me of how much money I need to save up for that trip - I want to buy just about everything showed in the clip!
October 31st, 2009 at 2:26 pm
I love how you captured the atmosphere in this crazy place…
I have been to Camden market quite often so far and it always feels like time has changed nothing over there.
It is simply sooo 90s
November 2nd, 2009 at 2:31 am
you look different to your well edited photos..
November 2nd, 2009 at 8:09 pm
