new project, new term, new start.

new project started Monday, it's no secret I didn't really put my all into last terms project for one reason or another, however, this term things have changed. I have dreams and goals that need to be forfilled, sitting on my arse feeling sorry for myself due to a cough or sniffle isn't going to get me there. I WILL SUCESS!

ugh, it's time to write my personally statement and I have certainly hit a writers block. how am I am meant to big myself up when I have so much self doubt? 

When is it acceptable?

After many months (who you kidding Emily? A YEAR) of the single life, I am now in a fresh funny and lovely relationship. We all know that feeling at the start of a relationship it's all cute and you just can't keep your hands off eachother, he will buy you take out food when you're feeling under the weather and even though we never believe them, he will smile nicely and tell you how pretty you look on your shabbiest days. 

But when is it acceptable to start having hairy legs around him?

Obviously for the first few weeks you want to be, look and breath perfect, plus give him the time to fall in love with your personality as well as your outfit choices, which took three days before your next date to pick, but when is it acceptable to let him know that sometimes, yes just sometimes, when chilling in the bath you can't be arsed to shave your legs? Surely I can't be the only one that thinks this?!

THE WINTER IS COMING LADIES! WE NEED TO BE PREPARED, MORE LAYERS THE BETTER!

Recently I have seen lots of crop tops with long tassels in the high street. I like this festival summer look and think it looks brilliant with leggings, jeggins, and jeans. After my shopping spree that day I was feeling creative and decided to DIY one of my old t-shirts.. I think this looks sooooo cool, and saved me £10 haha! I shall definitely be taking this top to the Leeds Festival with me.

I love finding clothes in the back of my wardrobe I had forgotten all about! turns out I had more than one blue dress with white spots hahaha! #opps

I have always been a huge fan of the pin-up girl style.. I think it's classy, sexy and makes women look mature and sooo powerful. This is why I'm in love with my blue and white pocker dot dress!!

I have fallen in love with my new 22 inch red extensions, just wish my natural hair would grow this long.

let the summer project begin...

just love these claws! deffo feeling hot red for the summer! 

love this cute and fun watermelon skirt! 

if Jonah Hill can do it, so can I! 

I will have a nice body for leeds fest and Milan! 

hahahahahahha! got to love Angus Brown!

Miss Kelly Osbourne!

I am just in love with Kelly Osbournes look! she is deffo my fashion inspiration! 

The main thing I love about Kelly is even though she hasn't always been in such great shape (like myself) she is still confident in her style! I personally feel she's such a good and strong inspiration to young girls because she has proven that you can learn from your wild teen years and come out of it in a positive manner. She always looks great, heathy and has really turned things around for herself! 

love this! #chesterzoo

looking back on photos from chester zoo.. this selfie makes me chuckle, looks like the elephant is laughing at me.

my favourite piece from the Huddersfield costume catwalk presented by the students at Huddersfield university today. I had front row seats, deffonately worth the drive throw... plus a good day out with the girls

for my college project I have chosen a gothic theme, I feel this fits in with a side to my style and personality.

(this soon, I promise, to be shown more on my blog)

i'm enjoying this project more than the first as I can add a personal touch.

Doing my marketing report... kill me now

fancied abit of sketching

love my jammie dodger ring!

preparing twarl for my clutch bag

busy busy busy sat designing 

as part of my marketing report I had to create a logo, swing tag and packaging. 

these are my final design boards with my chosen eight. the medias I chose to use are pencil and water colour paints apart from on my final chosen design which I used brushing inks to create a tie dye effect.

these are my 12 designs.

each design was inspired by either Vivienne Westwoods spring/summer collection or a shape, colour, detail from my theme board and customer profile board. I have experimented with different medias for almost everyone of my designs, I also used this opportunity to practise the back grounds of my designs to see what colours best matches together. 

this page was a small patch of experimenting with medias, learning to control them in the way I may or may not have wanted to use them. 

these are the exprimentation pictures I took of Jessica when I thought I was going to use her head as my illistrations head, I later decided not to do this as I thought my other two illustrators worked better together then mia overguaard.

The point of this topic was to design a collection for a client, to do this we had to create a client.

 

The client I made:

 

A boutique owner from a big city which moved away to live in Whitby because she felt that living there, she would be more accepted in her unique style. While living there she met her now husband to be, opened a clothing shop and adopted a puppy. She is 27 year old and even though she likes a good romantic get-away to a cottage in the hills somewhere so also likes the night life. I have decided to create this collection for her to wear as well as products she can sell in the shop. These are my two boards I collaged to help me with my designing. The top board is a customer profile board, using visuals to show the clients character. The second board is the theme board I created, this has work from one of my chosen illustrators, pieces from Vivienne Westwood’s spring summer collection, and this is because she is my chosen designer I have chosen to take inspiration from. This board also has pictures from my theme which is nature and my colour schemes, both of these are the same as Vivienne Westwood’s.

On the third of February me and the most of my college course are going to London and Paris… I cannot wait!!!!!!

We are only going on a four day trip and I have nearly filled a LARGE suitcase with different, brand new outfits that I will probably not have the time to wear, so I’m going to set myself a challenge and change outfits as many times as I can. Maybe the photos will look like I’ve been there longer than I actually have? Knowing me I will probably stay comfy in my onesie, they were sent from the designers of heaven I’m sure, amen to the onesie!
