Personal favourites from NYFW

Fashion week has started, starting with New York. Now, I could name more favourites than I posted here. Many collections made me go WOW! But these one's stood out the most to me. I knew automatically that Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs and Oscar De La Renta's collections would blow me away, which they did! So I have posted those. Alexander Wang would have to be my favourite though, ah, so beautiful! I have also posted my favourites from Jason Wu, of whom I've never been too keen on until I saw this collection!!! Prabal Gurung blew me away also! Yet again, hadn't really heard much of this designer until now and I really think I am going to love there future collections! Jill Stuart - absolutely beautiful and so fairytale like and cute! I also liked others such an Anna Sui, Victoria Beckham and Zac Posen... so I suggest you check out every single collection and make up your own mind :) xoxoxo

SORRY

I really need to pick up on my blogging! I'm at college everyday 9am till 4:30pm and then I get home and do all my homework and and then I'm so tired!
But tomorrow, or maybe Wednesday as I only have half a day, I'll post my NYFW highlights from last week. I'm loving LFW right now so I will post my highlights from then once it's over - so excited about Burberry and Christopher Kane!!!!!! But MFW and PFW is where it's at....
I'll also tell you about my work I've been doing at college and my nights out with my friend, which have been brilliant!
Apologies and love xoxoxoxoxo

Hey hey hey!

Sorry about the lack of posting this week! I have been so busy with my induction week at Art college that I haven't had time! I also started my job on Tuesday night and Wednesday so I've been too tired and having little time to be honest. I am in love with my Art college at the moment! The people and teachers are amazing and I am really enjoying myself :) This week was an induction week however, so the proper work starts next week... On Thursday we took a trip to the local galleries near us which was boring because I already went but I enjoyed the artist's work more the second time around. The exhibition was on a Japanese avant-garde artist called 'Atsuko Tanaka', who did very abstract, energetic, vibrant pieces of work. Including a dress made entirely of lights!

Electric Dress by Atsuko Tanaka -1956

We also got into groups and did a drawing inspired by her work. She used a lot of circles, lines and colours in her work. Sometimes though they were completely black and white. Her work was very spontaneous and radical. Take a look at my group drawing that we did in about 10 minutes that is inspired by her:

Confusing, I know. But if you google her work you will understand why we did this. So that is my induction week :) Yesterday I had the day off and my and my best friends went out for  a meal because one of them is off to University today which is sad :( I also went shopping yesterday and bought the following goodies:

I bought these boots from Topshop for £36! A hat, of which I have been dying for and there's one in Topshop for around £25-ish! But I got this from H&M for £7.99! Bargain! And of course the October issue of Vogue UK, of which I am over the moon to see Adele gracing the cover of! She deserves it so much.
Today is my Dad's birthday but as I have work tonight we are going out for a meal tomorrow. I also want to post about what's happening at Art college next week and what I'll be doing and also about NYFW which started the other day which I have been so excited for so I shall be sharing with you my favourite collections that I like and what will be hot for SS12!! But my stomach is grumbling like crazy so I'm going to grab some lunch and I'll blog later or tomorrow :)
Thank you for reading this, please follow on here and IFB! :D Have a good weekend!!!

First day at Art college

So, today I started my Art Foundation course. I was pretty nervous, more nervous about driving there but the drive went pretty well yay. It was boring being the first day. It was lovely speaking to new people. I enjoyed the task (even if it did get a bit boring towards the end) which involved having part of the college, as it is brand new, to map out and display. I have a lovely tutor who is the textiles teachers and I'm in the Fashion department which fills be with much joy :) I really want to make many friends though and so I am going to do whatever it takes to do this. Even though two of my (kind-of-ish good friends - we are no way similar) are doing it, they are boring and don't make any effort with anyone, when I'm not like that. I make so much effort with people and I am always determined to make friends with cool people! Like my current absolute best friends are amazing and I would never dream that I would become best friends with such a beautiful bunch of people :) So yeah, gonna have to do what I want I think....
Other than that little food for thought, today has been good! But now I must go off and complete my Summer project as I have to present it tomorrow in front of my form tutor group and even though it's only a small class, me and speaking in front of people do not mix :(
