Photo shoot of 2013

Thought I'd show you guys all of my creations from last year!

The first and last photographs are designs from my recycling project I created a paper mâché bodice with a a crunchy tutu affect skirt to create a dressmaker entirely out of news paper. For the second recycling garment I made a cadge skirt and created an arm knitted over lay to create both top and bottom.

The second photograph is my Bauhaus inspired waist coat, I decided to push the boundaries  abit by creating a waistcoat with a skirt and matching collar.

And the third picture is my 1960's/ Walk the line inspired garment I hand painted the skirt and top and made my vintage bubble gum pink jacket! 

I love how each garment is so unique yet has a bit of my personality within them all. X

 

Sik silk

A fairly new brand called 'Sik Silk' are becoming more and more popular with their unisex online clothing store! The now well known fashion brand is hitting this generation with stylish sports wear such as sports shorts, football jerseys, vests and much more! 

I love the originality of their designs, as unlike most jerseys and vests you see in shops these have prints and bold colours to make them stand out and become more of a fashion piece rather than sports clothing!

I've recently purchased a Sik Silk wooly hat for my boyfriends birthday. It's actually beautiful! The hat is sooo soft and comfortable that I want to keep it for myself. Its stretchy enough to fit all head sizes but tight enough to hold on to smaller heads!(which is great for my tiny head) the website was soo user friendly and the delivery was quick with no problems at all. 

The price of their items are a little more expensive than highstreet prices but for the designer quality and individuality it's worth forking out a bit more money for something you know is worth it!! I would 100% recommend you guys try this brand out! Let me know what you think and comment below! X

Pretty little pink

OOTD

Yes winter is coming! Crack out those wooly jumpers and knitted scarves but that's no reason to have to hide away those skater skirts until next year? Don't forget skin tights are a quick solution to covering up those tanned pins for the colder seasons!

The moment I laid eyes on this beautiful pink lace shirt I knew I had to buy it!! Yes I admit its rather on the skimpy side but nothing a nude bra or vest can't fix. I've had this shirt for about 2 years now and actually I haven't worn it as much as I probably could have, but this winter I definitely plan on wearing it more! 

I adore frilly socks!! In fact I adore all socks! But I just love any outfit that can be instantly made girly simply by adding a pair of cute socks! 

Lace shirt// Zara- around £20

Skirt// River Island- £15

Socks// Republic- £10(came in a pack of two)

Holiday coral!

Yesterday I went shopping for some holiday must haves and I have to say I came home with quite a bit! I'm really not one for saving money especially when it comes to clothes and shoes! 

My mum actually pointed out this cute coral coloured floaty dress. originally I didn't think I would end up buying it, especially as its a luminous colour and I don't really like wearing those colours. However this is definitely one that looks better worn than on the hanger and with a tan it will really stand out! It's soo soft and comfortable and I love the way it hangs of the body effortlessly! 

Now I have something to confess! I never thought I would ever say this but I bought this years summer heels from Shoe Zone!! I couldn't actually believe my luck when they had the exact shoes I've been looking for selling for such a reasonable price! £9.00 reduced from £14.00 an absolute bargain! These snake skin wedges are sooo comfortable, fit really well and they aren't to high which is exactly what I need as I'm not too good at walking in massive heels! I can honestly say that I have always been a bit apprehensive about shops like Shoe Zone however this has definitely changed my mind! 

You can dress this look up with a pair of chunky holiday heels and golden or wooden toned bracelets! Or for a more casual look team with a pair of comfy sandals and a beach hat! 

Let me know of any great summer steals you guys have found and comment below!! :)
