SHOES...

Illustration Project- #1 Shoes

Final Designs 

Initial Ideas

Hello my lovelies! I thought i'd share with you all my shoe drawings for my Illustration Project (A Level). Our brief was to find a dress from a designer's runway collection, 

and then design a range of shoes to be worn with that particular garment. 

The designer i chose was Jenny Packham, because i absolutely ADORE her designs. She produces some of the most beautiful dresses! 

At first i thought this project would be extremely difficult, because i never really thought i was that good at drawing, but i have to say I REALLY enjoyed designing shoes. I loved experimenting with different styles and different shapes. 

What do you guys think? Love knowing your opinions! Soon i'll post the other parts to my Illustration project on here.

STYLE CRUSH...LANA DEL REY

LANA DEL REY...

If you haven't already heard of  Lana Del Rey, where have you been?! This chic will be hitting your ipod very soon as her song 'Video Games' has already been voted 'Best New Track'. 
Not only has she got an incredible and unique voice, but her style is spot on too! She rocks the old-fashioned American starlet feel, with huge eyes, big lips and the most lustrous hair ever! 
Her vintage style makes us all want to have her wardrobe. She wears retro prints with mini hot pants, ladylike blouses and her signature one hoop earring. 
She is definitely ONE TO WATCH....

October Happenings.

Majorly sorry for the lack of posts my lovelies, but sixth form has been crazy busy! I've had soo much work to do that my half term the other week, wasn't even a break :/ This post will however try and keep you all up to date with my recent outings :)

OCTOBER 4TH

Me, and my best friends Lucy, and Stella, went to see Shrek the musical in theatre. We went on Kimberly Walsh's first night as Princess Fiona. I can't believe how amazing it was! It was sooo funny! i really recommend everyone to go and see it..it is not just for children honestly! In the meantime, as it was Kimberly's first night, her all her friends and family were there supporting her, including Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts. Now for the best part, for the first time ever..i was PAPPED! Yes, yes it's true, the picture was in the Metro Newspaper the next day hehe.

OCTOBER 17th
On the Sunday, my family and i went to my cousins for their 16th birthday. It was such a fun night. I wish i could show you the hand made cards i made for them but i can find my camera lead :'( to upload the pictures :/ but anyway..HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL COUSINS :D

(yes, they are twins!)


OCTOBER 21st
On the Friday before we broke up for half term, my friend Jade had a house party, lets just say we danced all night long, Lionel Richie style ;)

 My BEST friend Lucy <3

Hope you all had a wicked October!

XOXO GOSSIP GIRL

Who else is mega excited that Gossip Girl is back tonight?! I have been waiting soo long for the new season to start. Thank god the day has arrived. 

Not only is the show incredible, but the OUTFITS are unbelievable! I partly watch GG just to see what Serena & Blair wear hehe ;) And lets not forget to mention the eye candy..*cough* *cough* Chace Crawford.

Inspired by the return of Gossip Girl, i will have a few related posts coming soon, so watch out!

You know you love me, XO XO Constantia 

PRIDE OF BRITAIN AWARDS

I always look forward to this event every year! Hearing about courageous people and their stories just melts my heart. There truly are some incredible people in this country, and i think this event is so crucial in giving these people the recognition they deserve! Involving celebrities in this award ceremony 

makes, especially for the children, a dream come true. 

Now for some fashion! 

Can Cheryl Cole do any wrong? i think her look was my favourite of the night. This Victoria Beckham dress compliments her figure so nicely and the pale pink is stunning against her skin. I also love her curled hair; this is definitely a HIT

I hate to say it but i think Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model winner Jade Thompson outshines Elle Macpherson. I love the feather detail on Jades dress and how incredible is her sleeked back ponytail?! HIT

Ohh Mel C, what were you thinking? This dress is so unflattering! It does nothing for her figure! The shoes aren't even nice! Two Words.... OH DEAR! MISS
Miss Caroline Flack gets it spot on with this dress. Love this LBLD..(little black lace dress) ;) HIT

Trend Spotting Tuesday #1 If I Were A Boy....

This season you gals will start to borrow clothes from the boys wardrobes. Blazers, shirts and chino styled trousers are ALL a must have! Go on..be ONE OF THE BOYS ;)

1) Blazer: I think no girl should be without a black blazer, it is a wardrobe essential girls! I love the style and shape of this Topshop blazer; not too long and not too short. Adding a blazer to an outfit gives it that extra edge, and can be worn during the evening with a dress or during the day with a skirt of trousers.

2)Shirt: This is also a wardrobe essential! A crisp white shirt is a must have to rock the 'one of the boys look'. TOP TIP: get some thick black ribbon and tie it around the collar to make a bow. This gives a unique yet feminine look.

3)Mini Skirt: I adore this Warehouse skirt. This skirt teamed with the white shirt would make the ultiimate evening wear look! Also, by mixing one male inspired item (for instance the shirt) with a sequined mini skirt means you can still be girly too.

4)Chinos: I love the colour of these chinos. These Warehouse trousers are so easy to team anything with. 

5)Blouse: I really love this blouse; the black and the nude mixed together is so stylish. I love the black bow because it adds a bit of femininity. I would definitely consider purchasing this item. 

6) Clutch Bag: This asos clutch bag is perfect for completing your 'boy' inspired look. If Alexa Chung had carried a bigger bag i think it would have distracted people from her outfit, therefore i think a clutch bag is the perfect size to make a subtle statement.

Time is literally flying by...slow down a little bit pleaseee ;)
