Hello!

Just a quick post before I pop off to the charity shops!
This was a throw on outfit (as you can tell) I don't really wear maxi dresses, the reason is because I haven't shaved my legs. Awks.
Anyway this crystal necklace is another beautiful gem gifted to me by Bellast.com and it is perfect for my boho/grunge style. It has an adjustable cord so you can wear it to any size you want. I prefer having it as a choker style so you can see the crystal around my neck but it is up to you!
You can find it here...

Fox Cartier Necklace: c/o Bellast.com

Hello!
I was kindly gifted some jewellery from the lovely people at Bellast.com! I am currently wearing the fox cartier which I seriously cannot take off my neck! I am obsessed with foxes and thought this was just simply beautiful especially with the rose golden touch. Here are a few more fox jewellery options on bellast...I find most necklaces I purchase break straight away as I always go cheap but this is not only a delicate piece of jewellery but is so durable I was amazed! Bellast.com have some beautiful jewellery on their website for incredibly affordable prices all made to a high quality standard. I will be posting another 2 outfit posts based on the other necklaces so keep looking on my blog!

CAD: Pentagram Dress

This is another one of my final designs for my collection in college. 

CAD: fashion figure on a background

Here is my final image that I created with Photoshop  based on cropping a fashion figure and placing it on a background. I used the lasso tool to crop around the fashion figure and had to merge both layers together to make the figure look like it was meant to be on this background. 

This image is an example of how brands promote their image with merging different images together to make it look professional and commercialised.

Hello!

All I have to say is that I want this jersey SOO bad! I have wanted one for years and was surprisingly shocked when my boy said I could borrow it! YAYAYAYY

Toile Diary: Kimono

Kimono:

• I started off with a basic dress block.
• I then traced around a sleeve block too.
• I then adapted my pattern by slashing and spreading both the dress block and sleeve block. 
• I then traced around these new patterns and added 1.5cm Seam Allowance. 
• I placed my pattern pieces on fabric (back piece was cut on fold) and cut out.
• I then machine stitched the shoulder seams together first and pinned in the sleeve.
• I machine stitched the sleeve in the armhole. I then turned the garment inside out and sewed the sleeve and side seam. I then repeated this on the other side.

Design detail on kimono:

• Firstly, I sampled my design with rope to create solid lines as I want the design to stand out on the catwalk. 
• Secondly, I hand painted the design I wanted on the back of the kimono with fabric paint but due to the nap of the velvet the paint didn't settle or sit comfortably on the garment. 
• I then created a stencil on which I still need to sample spray painting on the velvet.
• If this doesn't work I will appliqué my design on the kimono. 

Monday Mugshot...

Yeah.

This explains my mood.

Tellytubbie

 

As you can clearly see, I have decided to kidnap the tellytubbie crew and wear them all as a jumper.

I shoudl probably own the costumes made for kids programmes because I am crazy about colour.

Unfortunatly, this WONDERFUL jumper is my boyfriends (which I will compromise with a cheeky deal to steal from him) which was given to him when he went snowboarding. Lucky son of a gun.

IT'S JUST SO COOL.

Even better, the fact it is so bright and retro means styling it is effortless.

Let the shirt do the talkin'

Hmm, what is that?

I genuinly have no idea what I am doing in these pictures...



Staring into the distance with a dreamy doe-eyed bambi look.

I have been soo busy with college recently that I haven't been posting outfits in awhile. I wore this the other week but never posted it until now.
This 'share' shirt (sharing with goofy) makes me feel like a cross between an embarassing singing and dancing pontins entertainer and a colourful kids tv programme. Ahh I do love this.
I love embarassing clothes or items that make me look weird and unusual and that I should be locked away in azkaban. Yes, I just referred to Harry Potter.
I do love these shoes but I am careful with ankle boots as they make my legs look like stubby tree trunks. I feel I should be one of those trolls that lurk through the forests.
