Countryside Alliance

Another attempt at the heritage trend of a/w11. This was my interpretation for work (i.e fairly smart)- vintage Laura Ashley blue tweed pencil skirt, ruffle top, knee high tan kurt geiger boots and a wrap around shawl. As it was raining, I pulled my hair down and wore a brown felt floppy hat to maintain dry-ness.

Oo-arrr.

its been aaaaaaages...

 chillaxed vintage get up...

 just a dash of the heritage trend

my must have staple for a/w11

Its been ages since I last posted, and for this I apologise. Iv have literally been on holiday (lived in a bikini- photos i'd rather not post) and been working 24/7 (boring uniforms) so I didnt think people would enjoy seeing these. I am currently preparing to move to London where I will be starting a Fashion Buying Internship in 3 weeks time... I therefore have chucked piles of clothes towards the charity shop as I need whittle down what I am taking with me, and make space for the new A/W items I am going to be needing. A trend I will be rocking this autumn is Heritage. As I am from the southwest I have lots of westcountry tweed, aran knits, wax jackets and wellies- all of which can be translated into big city wardrobe. I will also be trying my hand at the fetish trend (mixing leather and lace) and the cowboys&indians (collar tips, western neck ties - see above, and suede/fringing). I am so looking forward to it- A chance to wear what I want without being stared at like a nutter, which is what normally occurs back here at home.

Hope everyone is well.

The Degree Fashion Show 2011....

Screen grab from runway film- my dress

My dress on the runway

Going back down the runway

Just a few pictures from the PCAD degree fashion show 2011 that happened last week. These are a couple of snaps of my dress on the catwalk. Im so happy with how it looked in the end as it had such great catwalk impact, especially with the big frilly petticoat underneath. I am trying to locate a clearer full length image of my dress, which I will upload when found. Although it was lots of fun, Im super happy its all over now. It was an exhausting few days.

its been a wee while...

 Whistles tie-dye wrap dress, vintage leather jacket and chunky booties

River Island Limited Edition sequin skirt- picked up at vintage fair, white GAP tee and Kurt Geiger Boots

I realise I havent uploaded anything new for a while, so heres a double whammy!! Firstly theres a little snapshot of my new whistles dress that I picked up on eBay for £25, and my gorgeous leather biker jacket that I got given as a xmas gift a few years back. Its never had much of an outing, but now iv decided it shall be worn to rock-up an outfit during the day and of an evening. Secondly is a snap of what I am wearing today. Im off to a contemporary craft fair premier this eve, and I wanted an excuse to wear this gorgeous sequin skirt I picked up at a Frockaholics Anonymous vintage fair 2 weeks ago. I volunteered to help out at this fair, and in return got to pick out whatever goodies I wanted from the rails. Some treats included some faaaabulous highwaisted suede peg leg trousers from the 80's (super cute), an Aquascutum camel winter coat, a gorgeous turqouise duffel bag, never-been-worn moshulu deck shoes, a stunning high ruffle neck white blouse, and of course this corker of a skirt. I cant wait to go stand in a field and spin and twirl so it all flairs out.... Gorge.

Hope y'all are well. If you get a chance to, can you please take a look at my uni marketing project blog, which is designed to target a specific audience to sell my final garment. Any feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Final project... the end is nigh!

Above are just a few pictures of my final garment. As some of you may know, I am a fashion student, but construction is not my thang. Im more promotions and marketing savvy, but iv given it my best shot. Il be honest, its going better than expected. When finished, the skirt will have a huge pink peticote under to give the dress a fabulous 50's shape. Fingers crossed all goes well!!

Keep Calm And Stay Reem

 

 ... a moto I shall be sticking to this coming exam/deadline season. 

Clothes wise today I stuck with a smart casual look; a pussy bow blouse (2nd hand), tailored peg leg trousers with skinny tan belt (Zara), with cute cream and silver heeled round toed shoes. I also used my Celine handbag to transport all my goodies around with me. Including an umbrella...

Where's the nice weather gone??
