New Face of Dior

Could Dior have got it more right?! Mila Kunis has been announced as the new face of Dior's handbag collection. From the moment i watched Friends With Benefits, a girl crush was formed! Not only is she absolutely stunning, with the most incredible big eyes, but she is also an amazing actress too!

Mila is definitely one to watch out for in 2012 and i for one, can't wait to see the advert for this collection which should be airing in February.

TEXTILES PHOTO SHOOT!

Earlier this week, i finally got round to doing my photo shoot for my Textiles recycling project. There have been a few sleepless nights as my head has been going crazy trying to think of the perfect place to do the shoot...who would have thought it could be soo stressful?! Anyway i found this perfect little place down the road from me with this cute building which kind of looks like a castle.

As usual i like to keep things in the family so i asked my beautiful cousin Olivia to model the dress for me and my cousin Michaella to take the photos on her professional camera. I usually direct the shoot and do hair and make up which suits me perfectly. 

Now on to the dress, my brief for this project was to make a recycled garment for Oxfam. Straight away i knew i wanted to make a cocktail dress that was wearable and didn't look like it was recyclable. I found scrap recycled fabrics around my house and at school. Overall i was really pleased with my dress; i hope you like it and the pictures too!
I also made a little backstage video for all of my dearest bloggers.

Fashion Fusion Course...

Hey everyone! I hope your Christmas holidays have all started really well, mine certainly have. Over the past two days I have been in London on a Fashion Careers course at the Fashion and Textile Museum. When i first signed up to take part in this course i wasn't really sure what to expect, and to be honest I wasn't quite sure what i'd be doing on the course. However i have got to say, after being there for an hour I knew this course was going to be something special! Throughout the two days, our course teacher gave us information on a variety of jobs in the Fashion Industry in order to help us decide what path we want to take and gave us tips on how to prepare for interviews and what to write in our CVs. 

In addition to this, one of my favourite parts was that she had invited various people in the fashion industry to come in and talk to us about their jobs. On Day One, we had a costume designer come in named Lucy Donawho who's latest project was working on the newest Sherlock Holmes movie (How cool?!). On day two we had three other people come in, someone who worked in PR, a student at London College of Fashion and a lady who was a garment technologist for Amanda Wakeley. They were all so inspirational and gave us such good tips! 

I have got to say if you are someone who would love to work in the fashion industry but doesn't know what  exactly to do, this course is definitely for you! I absolutely loved it and came away from it knowing what I want to do now and having made new friends. I would definitely recommend it especially as the first course you take there is free (woo!)

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....
