Good morning Monday!

Getting really excited, got my night course later and we're doing the pattern, and it's been kinda hard so far because I'm just not good at maths, but the patterns looking good so far! So I'm a bit excited! And I think today we're going to cut it out and then sew a mock one, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

Also going to be booking my driving test soon! Excited!

Anddd! It's Christmas super close! Really excited about that! I'm loving buying everyone their presents and I've got a little bit more to do on Saturday, as well as some drawing and stuff for my portfolio.

I've also got to start experimenting with some T-shirts for my course. So far I'm going to experiment with

-Tie Dying

- Braiding

- embellishing

-spray painting

So it's getting really exciting, I'm just waiting so that on Saturday I can buy all the stuff I need and hopefully start doing what I want to be doing. I think I'm going to have a bit of a punk rock theme for it, but I'm not entirely sure. I was thinking of doing a crop top too, but then I wondered if that was too little space to create in. But at the moment I'm just looking to draw pictures of clothing.

Also! who saw Gossip girl this week?! OMG! Serena's dress at the end?! I'm so going to be finding who made that, the lace work and everything was incredible! She always gets the nicest dresses I think, the way they move when she walks + her long legs = absolutely stunning!

I had a quick google and it's "Zuhair Murad Fall 2010 RTW Gray Sheer Lace Drape Gown" I'm incredibly jealous. I think it's wonderful, how the lace and then the sort of draped wrap part interact is beautiful.

I really want to try later to draw something inspired by this, I just love how it flows and the different materials used, especially lace, I'm having a real love of lace at the moment just because it's so versatile yet delicate.

Party! Dinner! Birthday! Friends!

So I went to my friend's party last night, and I'll see if there's a passable picture to show you all what I was wearing since I actually forgot to take one. So I'll talk more about that later, but it was a great night.

But I've my nans dinner today, so I'll take a picture of my outfit before I go and report more when I'm back!

and I've also to go see my best friend since it's her birthday today as well and to give her her present. Novembers an expensive month! Least I get to go shopping next Saturday! (:

That's all for now really so I'll post tonight 

Music! Friends? Life! Fashion! Urban?

Currently loving the song Miami 2 Ibiza by Tinie Tempah and the Swedish House Mafia. They're such great artists! and Tinie Tempah is definitely staying at the top and growing strong. I've a feeling they're both definitely going to last more than 15  minutes which would be nice. I think we should be harsher on music, people who are only going to have 15 minutes of fame should be thrown out quicker. Too many people are called A listers when they really aren't and it's a shame since it's giving the music industry a bad name and it really is painful to listen too.

On the other side a bit more thoughtful. Friends? a friend recently had an incident where he needed his friends to stand by him, some he let leave to protect them, some ran and others stood by him, and when he came too, the people that should of been there weren't instead some of the ones that were on the opposing side were. So friends? People that stand by you're side through out anything? or ones that won't? Although I guess you need an occasion to actually test it. But just a thought for everyone, are you're friends who they think they are? I've had a lot of this recently, specially arguments with my parents over my friends. But sometimes the ones that are meant to be bad for you are the ones that will stand by you when you need it the most and if you ask me that's what friends are meant to do.

On the other side... Fashionnn! But I just though I'd give you something to ponder quickly.

On the Fashion front... I'm a bit bored. Very uninspired today, possibly cause I'm too tired. But hopefully I will think of something. I've got Cambridge next saturday so hopefully there will be something inspiring there. I have gotten into the idea of things that are more urban lately, a little bit "gangsta". Bit different to my normal stuff. But I'm just really waiting to get paid so that I can spend some money and get creating. I'm really looking into my own range of tops at the moment rather than at what other people are doing. I'm a little worried that I just copy what I see and that I'm not experiencing enough. So I'm really trying to get more experiences to draw on, so we'll see how that goes! 

I got my interview sorted for Coventry so that's good so far, but apart from that there's not much else to report on. So here's some stuff that I've drawn etc to show you or worn etc. You'll work it out! (: You just have to press play down the bottom to get it to go through everything!

12/11/10 on Prezi

Excited! Interview! Work! Family!

So sorry guys that I've not been online much I've been a bit lazy this week but I'm psyched back up again! so the sleep in went well but I came home friday and slept the entire day cause I felt drastically ill! But I managed to get lots of work done in my research book for Art! Which also helped with my drawing for my interview!

I've got an interview at Covent University for Fashion Design, it's the only one so far that has given me an interview, but I have just checked and no one has declined me either! So I'm really excited! But yeah I've been doing lots of art work and drawing in my books, and I'm going to mount my samples from my night course into my Design book that I started! so hopefully I'll have a good lot of work to show!

But I also saw that for my interview I have to design a top! and OMG! (excuse me since I hate the word but that was pretty much the response I had) But I had the greatest idea last night! I'm going to not tell you anything about it for now except little gold beads, lace, and spray paint! That's all you need know for now! But I'm really excited about it, but I also thought I could use the shirt to do some styling with as well! So I'm now super excited! But for now I'm going to have to wait until I have all of the things that I need! 

Works been going well and we won the incentive so I've an extra £60! which is going to be really helpful since I have the boyfriends presents still to buy, but I don't get paid annoyingly till after the 20th when I'm going with my friend to Cambridge, so I might take it out of my savings and then owe my savings account some money. 

I've also got Sunday off because I've got my nans birthday meal so I get to dress up a little and see everyone that I've not seen in months! Which will be really nice! I've also to show you my new red dress that I brought for the traffic light party on the 28th! It's really nice, it's from Tesco as well and was something like £18.00! Which is cheaper than the one in New look I saw but that one wasn't even properly lined.

 I also have to find a fancy dress costume for saturday night since it's my friend Claire's 18th, currently I'm going as a sailor, since I completely forgot about it being fancy dress, so now I'm stuck pennyless and costumeless! So I'm just going to have to make do! 

Sleep In, Friends, Shopping and Dinner!

Create a Free Slideshow

That sums up my day really!

Went to Westminter University yesterday, and really liked it! The guy that showed me round the studio's and that also said that it didn't matter too much that I'd done Fashion Design and that they looked more at the people. There's only 40! places though! But they interview 200 people, so I've just got to get my portfolio looking really great! So I'm gonna work really hard tonight while I'm at the sleep-in.

This mysterious sleep-in, is what we do at school something to do with homeless people (need to start listening ...or attending assembly) but we all get locked in the school and do stuff like Karaoke, basketball, X-box etc. So it's really good! so me and my friends are gonna go early and get some comfy seats and sit and chat away and do stuff like that, and I'm gonna sit and happily draw away! But yeah the aim of the game is to stay up all night! It's a total blast! I loveee it! But yeah so I'm hoping to get lots of work done tonight!

But after school me and my friend Steven are going to town, since I've a wittle bit of shopping to do and we're going to have dinner in town too. Since I wanna try out the new Noodlestix place. They give you it in those little white boxes! and they also have chopsticks! So yeah I'm happy about that and then we're gonna eventually go to the sleep-in.

But yeahhh, I did have another friend who said last year that she'd come this year and isn't coming, but that's not much of a surprise since she doesn't normally do what she says she will. But meh.

So yeah I had a great day yesterday and I'm having an absolutely great day today, I've managed to get lots of work done in my art book, and I'm really! excited for tonight as well! Though I'll be super grumpy tomorrow! But never mind! 

Oh and I also designed one of my tops, although it's clearly a proto-type, I think the stencil wasn't very good really. Oh and I also need more tops and jumpers and a few more bottoms of some type... not much!

Rings! How-To

Rings are something that are easily warn, no fiddly clasps, or bits that tangle! You're fingers are almost always on display! So why should you're wrist that is covered by you're jumper get some jewelery when you're fingers are the ones on show! So let's learn how to run rings around those Fashionista's! (By the way all the pictures are linked so you can go buy! buy! buy! more easily! Cause we all know girls love to spend that cash)

Miss Selfridge - £6.00

Size! Falling off you're finger? Sweety it's far to big, try a different finger, my middle finger is my fattest, so if it falls off my pinky, it generally fits my middle finger. But if it's falling off you're thumb, maybe a present for someone you are obligated to give presents too who you don't like? You can have it resized, but if it cost you £3 in the sale it's probably not worth resizing.

There are lots of rings on the high street, so don't worry about getting sets or ones that you know you can match to something. Like it? BUY IT! You'll soon realize once you're playing about with them at home, that they actually match that really great top that's been sitting in you're closet cause you had no jewellery to give it that edge! Now you do! The stacked rings that you can buy are great, because you don't have to wear them together, so it's a little bit of investment!

Also don't be afraid to mix the colours up like they have with the Miss Selfridge Stacked rings! All different types, and occasionally styles look great together! Just remember, if you're wearing lots of rings, try not to wear lots of necklaces and other bits. Less is more sometimes!
There are so many ways to wear rings though! Here are just a few ways that you can wear them!

Like Suki M. from Switzerland (Lookbook.nu) you can wear just one per finger and can also vary the length of them like the one on her middle finger. Different styles and colours (like the gold one on her thumb) look great. These rings are really unique too! Try to buy unique ones from Car boot sales and other one off places such as thrift stores!

Bird on branch ring -
£6.00 from Dorothy Perkins

You can also wear all sorts of rings all over the place! Miss a finger if you want, and don't be afraid to adorn you're hands! The only limit is when they start to fall off the tips of you're fingers! (Jessica S. from lookbook.nu)






This one is like Jessica's, they are really cute and stand out well! The little birds  chest is beautiful! This ring is incredibly unique looking. 

Feather Ring -£6.00 by Burton.

You could also follow Alexandra P. from Vigo's example and wear just one ring! It doesn't have to be as big but make sure it's pretty! People will notice rings so even if it's a little simple one like the one below, it will still serve you well! 












(Excuse the massive space. Major! Layout problems occurred somehow)

I have borrowed this from the Swirl Girls (http://swirlgirls.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html) This is to show you how you can use stacking to you're advantage! This is quite cute and actually does look like one ring! So occasionally if done well you can make the perfect ring, just because you stacked, doesn't mean you have to do it on all you're fingers like lots of people do. The ones below are from Wallis and are another great example of stacked rings that can be mixed and matched.

QUICK! DRIVE! SCHOOL! HAIR! EAT! LEARN!

Quick Quick Quick! That is today's theme. Had to get up stupidly early cause I had a driving lesson at 8:30 and kept stalling, silly different car! and then I've had art, history and business today. Really annoyed about that, but I'll have to rant tomorrow. Because I've had a haircut, and now have less than an hour to go make dinner before I have to leave and go to my night course! But as a preview: WHAT A WASTE OF 2 YEARS! But, yes you'll here all about that tomorrow, and I'll put a quick picture up after dinner! oh and I'm also gonna have a how-to on how to wear rings, since lately I've gotten really into them!
