Recent gets~

SO since I've started working I've been able to buy a few things here and there that I've been wanting for a while. So without further ado here are my recent gets: 

W♥C Tattoo tights:

I don't think these are real W♥C mainly because they only cost me 99p. Either way I love these tights and they got such a good reaction at Uni. 

 Ahcahcum Muchacha Cat Handbag:
I saw this bag everywhere on tumblr and instagram for ages and I was like 'OMG ultimate cat lady bag' so after long deliberation with myself and with that voice in my head saying 'Do I really need another bag?' I decided to buy it...at 3am in the morning.....I have no regrets.

OMG Moustache Tattoo Tights:

These are honestly the most amazing pair of tights I own....and I own quite a few pairs including dinosaur ones I made myself. I wore these out about 2 weeks ago and I love them. I wanted to live in them. they are so soft. 

 Luminous Change Eyelash - 09 Bottom Lash:
I believe these are called Super Size Eye, but I'm not too sure. Ages ago Gigi messaged me asking if I'd like these as she needed a certain amount to get free shipping, I said yes, I needed new bottom lashes and these are pretty. I haven;t worn them out the house yet I've just tried them at home, going to do a lash review soon.

Soft Cash Book:
One of my biggest problems in life is tracking my finances, however with being paid every 2 weeks (Yes I'm a lucky bugger) I need a way I can track my money without having to relay on the internet. This way I can also keep a track on what i spent my money on, including when I withdraw. I'm hoping this will help me out, I only received this book about 2 days ago so I need to start filling it in but I have hope.

Well that's what I have purchased in the past month, I'm not gonna be spending any more for a while now (I hope I stick to this) because I'm aiming to buy material to make more clothes for my shop that I am starting.

Saturday 8th June 2013.

Through the connections of the College/University I attended for my 2 year Foundation degree, at the end of every year several catwalks are held. This is a great way for us to showcase our work and for the models to get a feel of everything before our final, major end of year show.

Saturday 8th June 2013, there was a small show held in Letchworth Garden City. In a marquee tent in the middle of the green my models got to show off my lovely fmp collection. Sadly I only had 3 models on the day and they had to be stretched across the board anyway so I only got to showcase 3 of my outfits. I went with my 3 best ones in the hopes of showcasing the best of my abilities. 

Lt-Rt: Magda, Tracey and Mary.
 

These 3 girls were lovely and really worked the catwalk to show off my childish yet adult wear designs.

Hopefully it will run smoothly on the 20th June when the end of year show is where I will be showcasing all 5 pieces of my Land Before Time collection which I am very excited about. 

What do you think of my Dino girls? Don;t they just look so cute~

Land Before Time.


Finally I have got around the posting these up. So many will know that I have finished my foundation degree in Fashion and textiles. I am just awaiting results now and whether i will be in the 1 or 2 year top up. 

For my Final Major Collection i decided on the theme of prehistoric beasts. My garment research was into hanboks and asos who were also my target audience. I created a 5 piece collection which i named 'The Land Before Time'

So without further ado. I present my collection~

1 Dinosaur short and lyrca crop top.



2 Overprint tank top dress with Dino jacket and printed tights.





3 Maxi dress with Dino jacket.




4 Skater skirt with printed lyrca bralett and Dino jacket.




5 Yoke dress with Hanbok jacket.


So thats my collection. What do you guys think?? Would you buy it if Asos sold it?

Fashion Monstaaaa~

I am so sorry i have not posted in a while. I haven't really had any inspiration to post and I didn't wanna post and it just look like a half hearten attempt.

Anyway, I attended the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu 100% World tour a few days ago and I thought I would share with you my experience and photos. Enjoy ~


ME and Gigi, we took many a photos that day, this is just a few of them. I miss this girl, we are half sisters.



My sexy face, with Gigi and Golffy. I'd met Golffy the day before at Gigis. She made me a valentines card. I felt so bad for not making her one. She is a lovely girl and made us the most yummiest pancakes.

Group shot. First time I'd seen Mary in 2 years, and first time I'd seen Louise and Simone and Alice in like 3 years. I miss the old J-rock times.


Duck faces with Rachael.


Me with the cutie Golffy, I wanna keep this girlie in my pocket please.

And thats all my photos with ma friends. now onto the photos of Kyary, I only have a few as she just kept moving.
Her performing Fashion Monster. She was such a cutie in her unicorn dress.


I love this dress, it was so cute.

Her with her bunny. She had KPP on my butt in a heart.

She was looking at meeee.


I loved her socks, they are so amazingg.


Did you go to KPP 100% world tour? Did you have fun?? Which song of hers do you like?

Can I please be a mermaid??

Did any of you make new years resolutions? How many have you stuck to? I made just one this year and that was to make myself into the person I want to be inside and out. That includes making my style into what I actually want to wear, having my hair and make up what I've always wanted. So when I got back to where I live I decided to have a HUGE clean out, as in I threw out 7 black bags full of clothes and bags and shoes and things that had really had enough, what was usable I took to the charity shop.

So what is the look I want? Well I've always wanted pastel pink hair, well I have done for the past sort of year but I was holding off for reasons but I finally decided to go ahead and do it, it is pastel pink with bright pink highlights. Here is how it looks - 
I love mermaid wavys and they are so easy to do. A lot of people told me I should go pink because of my wig and how good it looks on me so I did it and I regret nothing. 

My make up style is pretty much the same, I've found a look that I think really compliments my eyes and my face so I didn't want to change this. However I have made it a rule I must do my hair and make up every day for uni, I'm a fashion student I shouldn't be looking shabby.

Onto my style, I haven;t really changed it much, its been changing slowly over the last year anyway. I'm sticking a lot to blacks and greys as I feel I suit these colours quite well. I also like my cross and skulls and bone prints so now my closet has a lot of them in. I am also trying to wear heels and platforms more as they make my legs look a lot nicer.

Here are some of my latest buys, over xmas I received gift cards so shopping was fun - 







So long, farewell, auf weidersen, good bye

Last week Friday it was my Specialist project 2A deadline. Finally is all I can say to that. This semester I worked a lot harder than the semester before and I hope my final grades show that. If you have read previous posts you will know exactly what I had to do, but here is a quick recap. We had the title 'The Great Outdoors' Out outfits had to come under that title, We also went to Clothes Show live, Which I reviewed HERE I really enjoyed the experiences and having my garment on the catwalk 4/5 days made me so proud. Overall I feel I have passed this and hopefully I've passed with good marks instead of scraping them like last year.

Anyway I finally got the professional photos back for my portfolio and here they are. I hope you like them






A big thank you to my models Ben and Emily. Ben's outfit is actually a woman's but he really looked good in it and it fitted in with my Angry scotsman look.

What do you think? Would you wear them??
