what does a meerkat say? simples.

My sewing machines broke. A young life wasted, why do the good go so quickly? Suicidal much ;(

Mmmmm,

I've been looking at the Fall RTW collections focusing on the M section, I've done a pick of my favourites, if its of any interest to you lot..
Michael Kors,


I'm currently in love with Michael Kors, after 22 hours of Project Runway and appearences of him, I'm in my element. The fall RTW collection is beautiful! The beiges, greys, blacks! The chunky knit and cashmeres the deep V necks! This was my favourite pick,


It reminds me of the 40's with the buttoned skirt and sweater. I love the length of the skirt and and how the colours are pulled in with the waist belt.

Missoni
I love the knitted highland style. The wrap skirts remembled a form of kilt, and the beauty of the slouchy coats and shrugs clasped with a pin.


The cool colours give a 'wrap up warm' vibe, although, with the crop I imagine you might get a chill. The neck detail is stunning as is the pattern on the skirt.

Marc Jacobs

With a palette of soft neutrals and pale pastels, this collection didn't fail to please me. From tweed and shimmer to low heels and ankle socks this outfit was my favourite.

The pale dress with the sparkley bow detail is lovely, and the socks and heels go very well together.
Maybe if your lucky I shall focus on a different letter, :)

well hello,

I'm planning on making a grecian style dress, I shall follow through with that when I get some money for materials.


The Luella black dress with the cutout heart is a beautiful dress, rather retro. But at what price would you pay for it, I mean, you could buy the designer one which may set you back a few months wage, or perhaps the Gosh Celebrity Fashion price at $139.00, approximatly £90, or, you could pop down to Matalan and pull £22.00 from your pocket and remove the belt, see my logic, but nowadays, its all about the labels isn't it. My bargain hunter ways do come in handy.

Luella and the Gosh Celeb version,

spring brings insects, I bring bug spray

I found a camera in the cupboard. I should be happy. Infact I am ecstatic! Oh but its over 20 years old. Its not digital my dear friends, it needs a film. Oh and a battery. Problem is, Im not sure where to go to get my pictures developed, then I need to scan them, and so on and forth. I look forward to high quality pictures.
I also thrifted a FCUK denim jacket. Its a few sizes to big, but i think its beautiful.
Oh well, have a happy sunday.

aint no sunshine when shes gone.

I think I may have broken my nose today, for the second time, all in the space of this year.

I found this dress beautiful! Its Michael Kors Spring 2009, and seeing as I had gingham in the cupboard, I brought my own creation to life.

Incredibly terrible quality picture. I has the one shoulder strap, but the skirt isnt the same. I'm also in need of a red belt to wrap around. Note to self-get a camera or good quality webcam ;(

i totally need a camera.

Whilst snooping in the cupboards last night, I came across a black dress that was made for me for Halloween when I was 9. I don't have any pictures of it before but it was knee length and the back had ties. I wanted to make it a proper dress but unfortunatly, I cut it wonky and too short and i messed the back up. In my defence it was late at night. I use a black lacey skirt under it but its a bit too thin so i think ill team it up with another tight skirt underneath. I have to hide the inperfections with a belt of sorts, so what I'm asking is, should I make a coloured sash to go around it, or stick with the purple one?


on its own,
with the belt

So, I made a Luella inspired skirt. Its not too similar, I just suppose it the dots. It has a red ribbon going through the top seem so i can pull it in and tie a bow which I tucked in. I also had a bow in my hair like the models did but my face wasn't up to much in the picture, so i cropped it out. :)
