Quick illustration.......

Tonight i wasn't really in the mood to do design work so i thought I'd do a quick illustration, just something quick and simple... might perfect her on a later date though....

Harajuku style......

This is a little project i was working on based on Japanese harajuku style mixed with hip hop culture. I took the layering different prints from the harajuku culture and then the designs of the clothes from the hip hop culture. I probably could have took this a lot further with the designs but I'm still happy with the outcome.......

Okinawa Festival, D&AD and wagamamas=great day!!!

I have just had a great weekend at the Okinawa festival and the graduate D&AD show with some friends. The festival was full of Japanese singing and dancing and the food amazing, it was such a cultural eye opener.
There was such good talent at the grad show with graphics and illustrations being the strongest in my opinion. it was so inspiring to see some of the work coming out of these universities and at the festival that I'm going to do a mini collection based on this weekend....

Best buy of the week.......

After great consideration i have decided that this M.A.C prime+prep translucent powder is my official buy of the week.....



This is not your usual translucent powder. With a virtually invisible feather-light, silky colourless application, the powder both reduces shine and maintains radiance for a natural and radiant complexion. This is perfect for any skin types and cost only £17.00, the only down side is that it comes in a small pot, but to get a nice soft silky finish you only need to use a small amount, so go get it girls.......

New shoes....well sandals...

Today i brought the most beautiful pair of sandals from River Island, i love them they are so comfortable to wear. How much were they you ask? only £26.99 BARGAIN!!!!!

They are perfect for casual and evening wear because even though they are covered in chains they look really elegant on..... Now all i need is the sun to come back so i can wear them :s

Whats love got to do with it.......

Well my sister asked me to design her another top as a memory of coming back of holiday, and as I'm a fan of Tina turner and the dvd cover for her film, i thought this project really Lent its self to the this type of print.....

These are just a few mock designs that i came up with so far, i really wanted to keep it minimal with the colour so it had more of an impact. When i finished the final design and and make it, I'll pop them up to show you guys.....

A change of mind.....

After pondering what to wear weeks in advanced for a few of my friends leaving night out, i decided to ditch my old outfit and create a new one with my new treggings.....

I'm going to team them up with these smart casual numbers from Miss selfridge and Topshop. I'm not going too over the top with the accessories as there is quite alot of detailing on the top and the bag so just to add a little something extra i got this cute pearl ring...........

As seen below...

A change of mind.......

Treggings.......

This month i decided to treat myself to a pair of treggings as i have a few social outings i have to go too. I found a really nice fitting pair at topshop for only £35.00. They are fantastic, they look and feel like normal jeans but stretch and hug my curves all in the right places. I would definitely recommend these to anyone with any body shape as they are very flattering...........

Tees for the teens.......

This was a quick T-shirt range i designed for my teen sisters as they wanted me to do something a bit fun and unique for them to wear when they go out with there friends. simple placement print of bows necklaces and butterflies made out of an original lace print.......
