The Topshop Girl.

For my project ; Vintage Opulence' we also had to research 3 chosen shops about how they attract their target markets. We then had to do a customer profile on our chosen shop. Mine being Topshop. I did a few questionnaires and asked a few customers and friends. However I felt the best way to the some up the Topshop Girl was my bestie Hannah, as all she mainly owns in her huge wardrobe is either Vintage or Topshop. Here's my profile.. took forever!!

vintage prints...

So for my project, 'Vintage Opulence' I have to design a collection for my chosen shop... of course I picked my favourite shop Topshop!! So I created a brain storm of theme and then came up with the idea of vintage prints as maybe as a design for t-shirt or dress. these prints I found.. have really inspired me to play around with layering of text and pictures and inks... I cant wait to have a play with them!! post the pictures soon :)

This page spread really inspired me, I found when I was looking for research for my project "Vintage Opulence". I had already found Valentino's autumn/winter 2011 collection very stimulating for my research and development ideas for my collection. However this photo page spread is amazing with the use of the 'dreamy photography' by the use of lighting and its use of some of Valentino's dresses.

Hope you enjoy and get inspired! :)

city lights

ah, memories

These shoes completely remind me of my childhood...

 I  really want a pair right now!!

a memory of my childhood :)

Im a little tea cup nice and round
Fill me up and drink me down.
Put a little honey in your tea,
Then just take a sip from me.

I’m a little cookie, nice and brown
Chew me up and swallow me down
I’m a little crummy, that’s just me,
And I taste good with your cup of tea.

sooo.. i erm.. jus bought some new boots

Sooo I've just bought these new suede boots!

Wanted some new black boots for ages.

 Going to be great with tights, leggings or skinny jeans.

I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE!

£80.00 from ASOS

These will go so well with contrasting ankle socks and nice dress.

All i have to say is... I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE!!!

 Whilst I was on Ebay, looking at jewellery I discovered my new love for owl jewellery!!

They both were really cheap... bout £2 - £3. 

There vintage feel will go with most or my clothes... and oh yes my playsuit! :)

I am so Chuffed.

I knitted a Snoood!!!

So knitwear is getting far more interesting.. lots of new things that I learnt.. so as I was getting bored me and friends decided to knit some scarf's.. So i knitted  a snooooood!! its a full knit Cardigan.(if you wanted to know the terms!)  It takes a while but next time im going to knit a scarf!!
I haven't had a chance to upload the pictures yet as my memory card is playing up but will  asap!!

Thought i would have a hand at Modelling..

 Basically my flat mate hannah had a styling project; it was a brief set by the british heart foundation to find a new campaign for them. she chose to use my base my project on the famous song by the beach boys, "god only knows". Her boyfriend and I modelled for her... I soon after her project I decided to retire until im forced to do it the next time!! However we all had lots of fun doing it!


here are some of the piccies...

This one is my favourite!

my new love!

When I saw this... I fell in love.
When I tried it on... I fell in love.
When I saw the price... I fell slightly out of love.
But when I bought it... I was definitely in love again.

can not wait to wear it :)
