It's the start of a new season and that means getting ready for another edition of my fashion page in the local student magazine! This is what I have picked out so far....

Totally Fabulous Miami

Babe..I'm back again

Helloooo.

I've been on my jollies for a  number of weeks now 7 to be precise jetting from Sydney..to Melbourne, Miami to Antigua and I've thoroughly enjoyed myself but what a joy it is to come back to a BRAND NEW fashion season!! I've got ants in my pants itching to wear the vintage over-the-knee boots I've already got sat in my cupboard, and the lace bodysuit I picked up in an ''Opp'' shop over in Oz for 50p! what a bargain!!! now...if only we would get some rain....oh wait..we have!!! oh it's good to be back!

Todays productivity

here are some illustrations i did today, taking inspiration from the illustrators Kelly Smith and Maya Wild. I have turned them into birthday cards for friends so have had quite a productive day,,, 

What the hell is art anyway these days?

I couldn't believe it when i discovered these images of Hannes Broecker's installation at the Dresden gallery, Germany. It basically involves clear plastic boxes filled with a coloured liquid. Throughout the evening spectators were invited to drink the art until the boxes were empty? But can this really be classed as 'a work of art?' I think that what used to be classed as beautiful paintings has now been reduced to literally anything from Tracy Emin's knickers to the Turner prize winning 'clean' squares to drinkable art? What the hell is next?

New Shoes

I just LOVE my new birthday shoes. They are called the ''Alabama's'' from Carvela and match perfectly with my new summer beige/faded denim wardrobe.....

Don't you just LoVe Summer......

Play with me in my Suit

My Playsuit is FINALLY made! Here is my photographic styling using my lovely flatmates!!!! I also took some really beautiful polaroids but unfortunately forgot to scan them in befre handing them in to be marked today!!! 

Louis' amazing photographs

I have just discovered Louis Park. He is an amazing photographer....here are some of my favorite images from a shoot he did for Vogue girl Korea. I love the vintage feel and the architecture is really quirky.

Fairgrounds

Suddenly everywhere I look all i can see is inspiration from fairgrounds!!! After basing my project around carousels and candyfloss i seem to have caught on a submerging trend. lets just hope on trend= high marks!!!!

NYC

Here are some of my lomography photographs from NYC after I have EVENTUALLY got them developed! unfortunately not all the pictures came out great but as with all lomo cameras it's all about trial and error. I bought a new film though so am going to try again this week when i photograph my playsuit...hopefully they will turn out better....

StYlInG IdEaS

Now that my playsuit is almost complete I have started to think about my photographic styling. Here are some images that have inspired me. I want to keep the photography fun and quirky and might use my coloursplash camera to get different effects! I'll have to wait for a sunny day though as i want to use the light in the same manner as some of these images......

Trends 09

Even though here in good old Blighty the sun is only just starting to appear.....The fashion industry is focusing on next Winters collections. Whilst browsing WGSN I picked up on two of the major trends set for A/W08-09 which were Visionary and Synthesize! As you can see from these pictures Visionary promotes a very modern/ futuristic vibe focusing on clean lines and minimal shapes. Synthesize on the other hand, shows a vivid use of colour and pattern, taking inspiration from this seasons geometric shapes.
