..Dead Doll..

Getting ready for Halloween.. favourite time of the year!! Proper gone to town on my costume this year! this is one of my props =p

Toileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =)

corset toile so far.. pattern!!!

Fake Monday Morning!!..AGAIN!!

..Got massively rained on today!!!... Had to lug all my work in a suitcase in lectures...=/

Had a productive weekend though..Went to London on Saturday for Research which was very rewarding.

Iv been checking out some of the fashion blogs out there to get inspiration for my own work.

After speaking to the tutors today they want me to make my collection alot more fashion forward! which i agree. By adding small details to a corset i can make it alot more contemporary. shoulder pads or different media could do this easily.

For this evening and tomorrow i will be creating my pattern, and try to create it into a garment.

My lecturer will be helping me to adjust my pattern to make it fit under the bust properly as the maniqan only had a moulded bust.

All day i have been tracing round the string style lines that i put on the bodice. When i get home i will be making this into a pattern.

I am planning on doing a photoshoot Friday afternoon. In an over grown garden with my model in underwear...

My friends coming over tonight for dinner.. but shes a nurse so shes gunna bring some of her work over and well have a work/dinner night :)

Love xxxxxxxx

=)

Went to Watch Paranormal Activity 2 on friday night, scared the hell out of me.. had to sleep on my housemates floor that night!! WIMP!!!

Went to London today with Sadie.. went and looked at some of the collection that have been inspiring us so we could see the quality of how they were made and what the atmosphere of the shop was like...

took pictures of what i could and of the window display. Found it really inspiring!

Also went to harrods to look at the pet section!! soooooo cute!! had to take a cheeky photo! :P

Wicked day!! Proper tiring!! had to chill with Dominos and x factor in the evening!!!

Had a good day in the studio, although we waited for 6 hours to be seen my our lecturer, and he never made it around which was a bit annoying!!

Drew our names for secret santa, although it doesnt stay very secret with us lot!! I've got Cazz, who although isn't on the course any more, has been on it for 2 years so we couldn't do it without her!!

Meant to be spending tonight bashing out some of this dissertation, not sure whether to just give up doing that untill 2mro and carry on with some sketchbook work..

Had enough of staring at a computer screen for one day!!!!

I'm excited for Saturday, cazz is cumin over and were having Domino s and pizza!!! and a then im going to watch the Cheryl Cole interview afterwards...

Omg I feel like at the moment I feel guilty in sleeping!! I worked solid last night, till about midnight.. and then decided I should get some sleep as I am getting up at 8am to go to the LRC to print some work out. It too me sooooooooo long to fall asleep. I just has work running through my head all night. Which was really annoying as I felt like I needed a break!! I'm not going out this week. have waaay to much work on at the moment, So I'm gunna save myself for Halloween I think. Got such a good idea to what to go as for Halloween! a DEAD DOLL!!! been buying stuff on ebay for it.. soo cute!!

When looking for hourglass shapes i came across alot of photographs of Dita Von Tease.. I found her body really inspiring, they way she wears underwear and clothes is beautiful.

Finding all this work load really overwhelming!!.. Was meant to go to the cinema tonight to see the new film 'Social Network' but had soo much more to do before my lesson 2mro i had to cancel it :(

ordered a set of suspenders and stockings for a photo shoot i want to do next week. For photographs for my new website.

..Range 1..

Design Day!

...had a really inspiring afternoon...so decided to work on some ranges for my collection. Now i will only be making 2 garments this is easing the stress considerably.

I'll try and upload some pictures of my work onto here as soon as i can...

i decided to boy-cott my dissertation meeting today... it really annoyed me last week i was waiting for 40 mins to see the guy and tell him about my work, he didnt really help me just confused me and we only spoke for 5 mins. So i thought i might aswell stay at home, get on with some design work and make sure i know what im doing for 2mro's lesson.

Last episode of the Inbetweeners tonight!!! wooop!!!

Love xxxxx

Fake Monday Morning!!

Its Tuesday morning, but as we didn't have lectures yesterday it feel like Monday morning!

In the Studio, getting ready to present some of the work i have produced.

starting work on design development and skills... had a lecture about it this morning!!

Received a reference today from the head of my department to help me apply for my PGCE that I will be undertaking next year. Was pleasantly surprised in the feedback I received. Made me have a lot more confidence in my ability's and skills...

Full day of Studio work today....With the new fringe i got cut last night:p...

My inspiration for life and FASHION - Carrie Bradshaw and the 5th character in Sex and the City and the place i will someday call 'home'-....NEW YORK CITY

....saturday morning..

....Saturday morning..

Whooppsss properly wasn't the best idea to go out on the town last night. woke up at lunchtime feeling rather worse for were :/

although i have been working through x factor this evening!! Thought it was amazing. Was really inspired by Aidan's version of the Donny Darko song 'Mad World'

I have been reading up on Christian Dior's new look this evening. Think its amazing some of the things he has said. That is kind of what i want to do in my collection. Make it feminine, bring back the womanly shape and embrace its sexy-ness..

Also been searching through Agent provacateau and Victoria secrets on-line website for inspirations... that has been very helpfull, being able to see how lingerie is used an its supportive-ness

intresting day... am going to do a full day of dissertation work tomorrow. =)

Night all....

Love x

found this image on the net when i was looking for inspirational images. Absoloutly fell in love with it, sums up an area of my final year collection, sensual, underwear with a dirty edge.

Friday Night!

Ohhh myyy been working away like a slave all week on my Final major project.
Had my first Marketing lecture today aswell... got soo much work to do for that aswell, its getttin a bit overwelming!!! Hope i manage to do it ok..
Me, Sadie and Anna and the girls are all off to the Student union tonight for anna's birthday!! Hopefully the break will do us some good and we can start again in the morning with a fresh head!!!!

Finding researching really hard at the moment, i know what i want to make, just hard to explain and express.
Its a micture of enhances the hourglass figure with corsetry, underwear and structure. But i want it pretty, i dont want it to look minimalistic, i hate that!!!!

Best get ready..

Love xx
