I appologise for the recent lack of comments, but for some reason my laptop doesnt work over here in good old England so I am reduced to using a 15 yr old computer that takes 5 minutes to load one picture! and even longer to leave a comment but I am trying :)

Hope you are all enjoying the Holiday. I know I am, Tomorrow I start my shopping and I cannot wait. Will definitely do a post showing you what I bought :)

But back to leopard prints... er LOVE them! This jacket was a steal from Primark about a year a ago, very warm....and this is another necklace by PixelsPerInch (see side bar for link), I was inspired by one of my favourite brands 5Preview who I absolutely LOOOOOVE! Couldn't afford the real thing so Got my own version made. One day though I dream of owning all their necklaces... sigh......

I loooove this vintage top!

Its amazing...easiestly (spell check ha!)  one of my favourite tops!

I wore it to my work Christmas party at the Hudson Terrace.

I wore the top with some regular leggings and my black zipper shoes! even though I wanted the focus to be all on my dress I added this necklace for some over the top blingness:)

SKETCH BOOK PART 4.

Here are some more sketches Im working on right now... still in the preliminary stage just working on silhouette and a few fabric treatments!

I also want to experiment more with  distressing the fabric and also with the padding (used here in for the big fat clutch) and using it on the clothing too!

Also the Graphic underneath is something I'm working on at work right now and actually really loving the way it is coming out :)

Also on a side note if any of you wanted to get something from PixelsPerInch (below post) mention FadeToBlack and they will give you a discount!

And this is the best part: they customize WOOHOO!

This is my coco customization, so awesome I love it!

Sydney made this one for me and she is just as awesome as the necklace. And another thing is they are cheap too! (price depends on size, detail...)

Tshirt: American Apparel

Leggings: TopShop

Shoes: Aldo

Jewelery: H&M, thrift

Weather is so cold now in New York so I took these pictures indoors.
I love this denim shirt. It must be so old because it's so soft I and customized the shoulders so it fitted better and also wearing it with my fave loose tee from AA.
These Suede wedges from Aldo are my new faves... amazingly high but still really comfy!

Hope you all had a great day!

D.I.Y. BIG FAT CLUTCH

Dress: Customized second hand hippie dress

Tights: American Apparel

Jewellery: H&M, second hand

Nail color: Essie-mint candie apple

YAY! I made my bag and I LOVE it so much! it's awesome!

And the chunky gold zipper just finishes it off perfectly.

Thank you to everyone who helped me decide which bag to make in the end.

The most voted was  #3  So thats the bag I made! Even though this is Faux Leather you could never tell!

I used it all day today as a big fat chunky clutch bag but what is also great is that my laptop fits in there and because it's padded it's totally protected! (my laptop size 17")

plus I already have some orders from co workers!! :)

If you would like to buy one or for more info just drop me an email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! :)  








P.S. I love this new nail color!!!!

I LOVE this jumper (sweater) it's huge so I love to pair it with skinny leg silhouette!

P.S. I finished one of the bags today and Im so happy with it, will post pictures tomorrow so stay tuned!!

SKETCH BOOK PART 3. (IF YOU WANT A TOTE YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOURSELF)

Hi peeps!

Here's a few sketches I worked on last night.

I have a pleather left over from a project I did a little while back and thought of making a bag with it. Just something simple that will look awesome is what I'm going for (easy right! :)).

Well actually the first bag I wanted to make is a square canvas shopping bag that I really want to print a big faded rose on it! LOVE THE PEACH COLOR!

I also love the idea of padded, bit like the chanel bags but in different shapes.

I want to try and make one over the weekend!!

which one do you like best??

SKETCH BOOK PART 2.

This is one of my A4 size (letter US) hardback sketchbook where I design/sketch/think....

New Project:

CONCEPT: Now in my wardrobe I have clothes upon clothes, sometimes 5 on a hanger and sometimes I think these look pretty cool (meaning the layering/silhouette...)
So my concept was to take photos of the clothes on the hangers and make collages from them and see what I could come up with.....

And it's turning into a really interesting project....... will keep you posted :)

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Skirt: Vintage (hacked)

Dress Used As Top: Primark

Tights: AA

Shoes: H&M

Jewellery: Vintage/ H&M

I love this high waisted skirt - so cute! had to chop it a bit tho because it was nanny length!

And this striped top was actually a primark dress I just stuffed it in the Skirt to turn it into a top!

I like this outfit! A lot more "happier" colors than the regular black :).

And I was also nominated by bighairandbikinis to do this questionaire!
So here's mine (above)...

I did it in my fave moleskin sketchbook! (the paper stock is the best!!!)
At first I didn't realise it was one word answers so that's why half of it is covered in masking tape to cover up the wordy answers....

(except I left a few as if :D)
