Just a quick one

Thought I'd let you know that I'm currently finishing the designs for what was meant to be last week's blog post; so hold tight, lots coming this weekend!

 In the meantime here's a photo of a plaited hair style I've been experimenting with.

Until next time

Recent Buys

Jumper: Zara, Dress: Zara, Jeans: Topshop

Spider Necklace: Asos

Managed to spend my birthday money! Today I bought a leatherette mini dress and jumper from Zara and some black Topshop Leigh jeans.  I bought the leather dress to go with my Asos spider necklace, which I apologise has been posted around every social networking site I have! Initially I was going to buy some Zara jeans as I find that the Topshop Leigh jeans don't wash very well; I ended up however buying a pair of Leigh's, which I'm really pleased with. The Zara jumper has buttons down the back, so I'm not quite sure if it counts as a cardigan.

Also at the beginning of this week I purchased real leather skirt from eBay for £7; it's maxi so it will need to be altered and made into a midi but I think it's a great alternative to the £90 Asos one I've been hopelessly searching for!

 This week I found my 'Fashion Scrapbook' from when I was younger. Inside I found a few questionable designs, multiple of which were Avril Lavigne Skater girl inspired (thank God I'm over that!)

A few of the only designs not Avril inspired (pardon the names!)

Party Pieces

With Christmas just around the corner I thought I'd post a few party pieces perfect for the festive season. I'm sure you've guessed by now I'm a little more than obsessed with Asos!
I'm sorry I haven't been able to link the pictures; Blogspot is being annoying!
Hope you had a nice November 5th!
Enjoy!

Trick or Treat- Gothic Fashion AW12

Experimentation with animal print

                                    

 I was sketching a few designs and decided experiment with animal print; I wanted to see if it could be easily achieved using water colours. Here I have incorporated leopard print into a simple peplum design.  In the future I'd like to try and use a variety of different patterns, including animal prints, in my designs. 

Enjoy!

Excuses

 I'm so sorry! I know this post is more than a little overdue but I seem to have been ridiculously busy lately! I'm afraid this weeks, late, post isn't fashion related because of my unusual lack of organisation. Due to this I decided to share with you a few snaps from the week of Birthday celebrations and silver Duke of Edinburgh.

16th Birthday with my lovely twin sister

Got dressmaking lessons for my birthday so hopefully one day I'll be able to actually make some of my designs!

Backwards 1 cake!

Silver Duke of Edinburgh

I'm glad I can now afford to buy some items from my fashion wish lists. Asos spider necklace come to mama!
More to come soon!
