Spookbook Clown









Happy Halloween guys!!

I've always wanted to do a lookbook with this shirt- and when I realised lookbook were holding out a halloween competition I knew instantly I wanted to come as the 'modern' clown. Clowns are mostly known for their bright bold colours, big shoes, scary as fuck AND a big red nose (I didnt have one :(. I could say I took inspiration from the jokers (no red nose) and crazy messed up makeup. Haha I know my makeup looks like complete shit but I like the messyness. I'm not used to neat makeup anyways- doesn't suit me :')

What I'm wearing:
Crazy Shirt - Carbootsale
Skirt - Mums
Leggings - Claires (stolen from my sis) >:)
Creepers - Underground
PS: i didnt dye my hair- i wish i did haha. love this red though <3


Please excuse my language- I wish I could really go in depth talking about this look but the uni life i catching on me. Especially my pattern cutting lessons- they just suck the life out of you- even though its great fun!  I'm currently running 3 blogs, one of my newest wordpress blog for my fashion design projects which I will share with you guys very soon !! :) 

I will be posting some photos on here showing you the sort of stuff I do at uni ! I think itll be interesting for you guys to see :) Okay, I guess this will be the end of the post! Thank you for reading my post and for your support! Love you guys xx

The Uni Tramp








Heey yall !

First week of uni has been so flipping slow-- i just want to get started!! We've had inductions and crap so its been all paperwork and no work ( I know its sad that I actually wanna work) Yeah. Haha. Well anyways this is a look I put together today for uni. I didn't actually wear my tartan shoezies because i didn't wanna damage them like i did with my ebay platform boots which are currently dying.. :( so im trying to wear them strictly.

I wish I had a pair or tartan pants then this look would be perfect :( Hopefully ill be making a pair soon!

Ill quickly have a run through of all the things I'm wearing:

-Beanie Primark
-Tartan Shoes Ebay
-Black Jeans Primark
-Checkered Shirt Mens Charity Shop
-Shirt Childhood

Basic cheap look haha ^_^ I love how casual and cool this look is- its something you can put on without feeling too dressed up- i love it<3 I feel like a badass art student :' when im really not muahahahahah :'D Such a bloody nerd.

Hopefully Ill be photoshooting a new look for this week again so thats something to look forward too!! :D

Tablecloth Manners







So I finally moved in at my student home accommodation- feels weird as fuck. ;/ loool
I'm so lucky to have had pictures taken by my sister but now ill have to find a replacement photographer D: wahh yeah anyways..

I called this look Tablecloth Manners just because the skirt I have on today is just looks a flipping tablecloth! Haha, its been hiding in my wardrobe for years!! So I was excited to pair it up with my old schools leotard which I DIY'd holes in.

I'm also wearing my battered ebay platform boots and tights. & Of course my favourite choker! (from claires)


I look forward to share my uni experience soon- as ill be starting on the 24! But I very much look forward to it! Cannot wait to carry on my workaholic lifestyle :)

Thank you so much for looking<3

NYFW Discovering more talent

Hi guys! I feel like I should have a bit of diversity with this blog- instead of just have my lookbooks im gonna try and post alot of my inspirations- and since im starting my first year as a fashion student in uni ill try to include some of my own work, as ive done previously in some of my posts like: Crazy Fringing and Tube Queen :)

New York Fashion Week!! S/S 2013!!

Sometimes I just don't have the time to look at everyones collection but tonight I actually had a brief look at many and I discovered some really incredible talents which i never knew existed! So this is what the post is gonna be about.. my new 2 designer discoveriess!! WOOP!

So lets crack on!!


1) Thom Browne

The whole aesthetic of his looks really stood out to me, from the theatrical arty catwalk ( you can see behind the photos ^_^) And gah I do love that the clothes aren't tailored to fit tight but they create this very peculiar boxy silhouette.


Don't get me started on the way he plays with colours and patterns!! I think my favourite look of the bunch would be the one with the pink blazer below- its just got so many crazy pastel coloured patterns all together + monochrome stripy leggings on top of it!


Another think I love about Thom Browne is that he doesn't just create one look, as you can see he created a wide range of different looks- from glamourous couture gowns to playful, fun cute garments! :)


I am so so so happy i discovered his work<3 He's such an amazing talented designer :3


       



          



2) Libertine (Johnson Hartig and Cindy Greene)

Yet another designer who I discovered! Really ashamed and gutted I didn't know this brand before- thank you internet and tumblr for persuading me to research!!! 


As you can probably tell I'm a sucker for prints- again Libertine has clashed really cool prints together, from plaid with flowers to matching paint blobs! :D Really like the way he's included a manly long coats on top of the girly garments- it just adds that extra coolness and edge to the outfit ^_^


Again the marvellous duo also create diversity within their looks, like their strong bold garments with the addition to the little highlights of complimentary colours and small intricate patterns! ++ Not to forget the contrasting colourful accessories. Really loving those bright colourful gloves :3








Okay end of post! Sorry if it was overly long :3 Although I hope you enjoyed mah new segment piece ^_^

Comment below if to tell me if you liked/disliked or if youd like to see more of these posts? Or even any suggestions to what I should do next :D


Thank you very much my loveeees<3333

This is actually my secondary school skirt- Ive kept my whole uniform from school because it was just too hard for me to actually throw away because it was so darn expensive! So I decided to incorporate my school to create a grunge inspired look :D

What I'm wearing:

-Triple Creeps (Underground)
-Sheer socks
-Kilt School Uniform (John Lewis)
-Guns+Roses Tee (Gifted by my uncle)
-Sleeveless Denim (My dads)
