Michael Bublé - Let it snow! HQ

..let it snow..

Sorry i havent wrote for quite a while.. I've had a mental couple of weeks!

Last week i had a toile review and a formative assesment ( which basically didn't help me and just confused me even more and made me loose faith in my idea )

AND we had to hand in our Dissertations!!!!!! So i had a very stressfull week with very little sleep and a very busy Jodie!!

Then on Friday night i went out to let my hair down at the Christmas ball and we had a champagne party at my house before we went out, everyone went out very 'Merry' indeed!!

And then when i was dying from the worlds worst hangover saturday luchtime it snowed so heavy that in the space of 2 hours there was 7 inches of snow in my garden! Although at that point it didnt really fuss me as i certaintly wasnt going outside for anybody! Untill on tuesday it started to snow... again and news of Heathrow and Gatwick being closed started to scare me. I looked online and my train journey home this thursday did not look good!! So i rang my family up in Sheffield and my brother drove through the night to come and pick me up and bring me back to his so they knew i was sade for Christmas Day!! :)

So now while all the country is stressing about the snow still... I couldn't care less again.. Im warm and safe and as i sit next to the christmas tree im feeling all Christmassy and merry.. them few sherrys proberly helped do that aswell!! =p

sooooo i will be doing alot less work this week and alot more relaxing with the family. Im off to my dads 2mro afternoon :)

but from next week i will keep you posted with my work updates :)

Ho Ho Ho!!

Hope you have a VERY Merry Christmas!! and a Happy New Year!!

Victoria Beckham..

Victoria Beckham, a very slim women, but she has launched a design career out of her power to dress the female form. Her designs embrace hips and a bust and the trademark full length zips show a touch of sexiness..Seen on every IT women in Hollywood they are the must have dresses, shame they arn't just a little bit more affordable for the poor fashion girl like moi...Here's hoping she does a design collaboration with H&M =)

Here are a few of my favourites from her design closet.

nude sexiness - Spring/Summer 2011 RTW

She isn't afraid of colour, structural lines with simple shapes.

S/S 2011 RTW

Her take on the 'New Look'.. S/S '11 RTW

WOW..statement red dress Fall 2010 RTW

Gold dress, used on the set of Gossip Girl, Victoria herself has also been pictured in this also.

Fall 2010 RTW

beautiful elegance

Fall 2010 RTW

This dress is currently sold out in stores in the UK.

Fall 2010 RTW

Amazing fullness in the skirt

Spring 2010 RTW

This dress has been seen on everyone from Jennifer Hudson, Blake Lively, Victoria Beckham and America Ferreira.

Spring 2010 RTW

Love the style lines in the garment

S/S 2010 RTW

fullness to the hips in this Fall 2009 RTW

Long... black... amazing

Fall 2009 RTW

From the first original collection S/S 2009 RTW

Victoria's collection have shown create progress throughout the seasons and her simple clean designs are amazing. I really think as a designer she is a singer.. Glad shes no longer miming to some Spice girl tracks!!

Do you love her or hate her?

Herve LEger by Max Azria

New pre-Fall collections have just droped, and as my collections is all about curves and making the most of a women figure, i was dying to see was the GOD of curves himself had created for his new line. Herve Leger knows how to make the most of a womens figure, and every celebrity from Kim Kardashian to Jenifer lopez embraces his figure huggin dresses..Here are some of my favourites from the new line...

interesting bust detail..

for those of us who don't like their thighs, this skims them nicely making the most of our waists.

These black panels make the waist look even smaller.. great stuff :)

Black and white classic strapless.

They could of used some curvier women to model though , these dresses are all about curves and when you have the silhouette of a rack its not exactly hard to make you look good..

IF you had a couple of grand sitting in the bank would you buy one of these beauties?

xoxo

Procrastination..

..Not sure why, but im in such a christmasy mood today.. i cant stop singing and dancing around my bedroom to some classic tunes..

below are some of the best i believe..

Whats you favourite Christmas song??

Ho ho ho ho

Fairy tale of new York...BEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER!!!

slade - merry christmas everybody

Big Night in:

Last nights X Factor final received an audience on nearly 20 million, with Matt Cardle taking the crown of winner, the final 3, Single mum Rebecca and Teenage boy-band One Direction came 2nd and 3rd.

During the Final weekend shows the finalists (including 4th place Cher) duetted with some of the biggest names in the Music industry, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams and Will.i.am...

Take that performed on the final show singing their chart topper 'The Flood' , although i don't quiet understand why they sung this song, when only 3 weeks ago they sang the same song for their reunion performance.. on the x factor. Maybe Simon Cowell is facing budget cuts himself and he got a 2-4-1 deal..haha

X Factor winner 'Matt Cardel' with mentor Danni Minogue, and his début single.

Hes racing now to get to the Christmas number 1 spot, although another band has released a song to try and stop him getting their, 4 minutes of silence, not exactly the best thing for Radios to play!!!

I voted for Rebecca to win.... I was dissapointed that she didn't.

What do you think??

xoxo

STRESSS!!

OMG OMG OMG!! I've just realised in one week i have my Dissertation due in on Friday, a formative assessment for my collection and Toile review on Thursday, and i also have a 'fashion Christmas meal' on Wednesday were we are swapping secret Santa presents, and on Friday day i have a house dinner with my house mates, and then on Thursday evening i have a fashion party in the studio!!!
