louboutin

Louboutin high-tops? Fierceeeee. Not usually into high-tops at all but I would make an exception for these, for sure.

i'm baaaack

After a great deal of financial difficulty for the last 3 months rendered me too poor to afford the internet, I can safely say that I am now back in the modern world and have finally topped up my internet dongle. Good, good times. 

Zara Trousers
I went shopping yesterday for the first time in months and got extremely frustrated because I finally had money but couldn't find anything I wanted. But, a trip into Zara proved fruitful. I tried on the trousers up there and they were pretty rad but I ended up getting a spectacular pair of shorts instead (I know it's winter and all but I am going to Australia in two weeks and I can't fit into any of my other shorts!).

Zara Shorts.
I am pretty sure I made the right choice. I am feeling them with oversize t-shirts and sandals in Oz, and then back home in freezing cold Plymouth, definitely thermal tights and boots.

vintage hats



Laquered lace eye shield

John-Frederics chantilly lace nose veil


I have been doing some research into vintage hats, particularly veiled ones, for my first project at college. We have to make some sort of garment/textiles product out of mainly plastic bags as some sort of comment on climate-change and sustainability and all that other garb. We had to choose one or two words from a list as a starting point for our ideas/research. My words were 'reveal' and 'secret'. I'm thinking some sort of beret type thing with an elaborate veil (a la Piers Atkinson) would be pretty fitting. 

I have discovered an interest in millinery that I never knew I had, which is quite good, and I think I am guna do pretty well in this unit. I hope so anyway...
