My Art

Since leaving school over a year ago where i was constantly drawing for my A levels, I have kind of missed it...so this summer i have been trying to practice and get my drawing hand working again:)

I love illustrators like Jeanne Detallante, but cannot resist staring at paintings from Chuck Close and Lucian Freud (RIP).

I havent quite caught up to my own personal standard yet and am too scared to whip out the oil paints aswell! Wish me luck, i hope i can get back into it:)

Versace for H&M 2012

 

Seriously cannot wait for more sneak peaks of the Versace Collaboration thats due to hit stores in mid November, not only are they doing clothes and accessories....but they are doing home-ware too:):):) I might skip on the clothes and spend all my student loan on accessories for my new room in Manchester!!!

I absolutely love the styling of the campaign so far, and love the fact that the models look typically swedish and have a 'Donatella' look to them with the bleached blonde hair!

Leigh Lezark is also rumoured to be upon the next collaboration front with H&M. Their plans are to open a new 'shop in shop' in Selfridges (London), hopefully ill be in London at that point to have a nosey:) I love her style and really wish i had her colouring, and she manages to wear anything with such an effortless attitude!

Rainy Post

Dont laugh!!!! I had uni from 9-6 today:( and to top it all off, i got caught in the biggest rainstorm ever on the way home! My clothes are still drying on the radiator! I also had to take my glasses off because they got all steamy and covered in raindropsss.
Will post again tonight:)

Nice to meet you Alistair

Ugh:)  After all my debating, tossing and turning over the chelsea boots, i was in Topshop today and tried on every single pair, i went to Kurt Geiger, River Island etc and i came to the conclusion that my legs dont seem to like them. They fall wierdly on my ankle and make my legs look slightly stumpy:( So i settled for these lovely 'Alistair' pair for £60, leather in and out...BARGAIN

They are so comfortble and look so cool with my teddy boy(ish) jacket, and black trou. I have yet to try them with a skirt but i have high hopes for them! 

I also bought an ear chain(topshop), a black satin bow tie necklace(primark), a chunky knit burgundy snood(primark), and black and white stripy knit jumper(primark). 

I found that the shops seem to be really between seasons at the moment so its difficult to predict what ill be wearing in the next couple of months. Dont really wanna be wasting my money yet until i know for sure what ill be wanting to wear:)

Speak soon !

face to face!

Personalllllllly, i like to see who im reading about so this is a couple of pics of me:) Sorry about the shady webcam but my camera is low on battery! I have ridiculous eyesight so have to wear my glasses pretty much every day, ugh! But thanks to this lavely Paul Smith pair which i have had for a good 3 years, i dont have to look tooo hideous (hopefully!).

 See you tomorrow!

Viktor & Rolf Ready To Wear S/S 12

These are my favourite looks from the show, which was full of strong satins, ruffles and beautifully embellished shoes:) i especially like these looks because personally i feel i can translate them into summer looks:) i LOVE the shape of the collar on the left aswell!
I have always loved Viktor & Rolf ever since i saw the spring summer 10 show in which they took the 'couture crunch' route by literally cutting holes in their beautifully shaped tuille gowns. And the fall winter 11 show when they literally took layers of clothes off one model and dressed another on the catwalk, i would STRONGLY recommend you checking out the videos!
Had such a lazy day today! Just been doing lots of uni work on my laptop and catching up on some well needed sleep:D
speak soon!
