Window shopping

The west end is an amazing to go. It's one of my favourite places to go, I go there so often and yet I've barely scratched the surface. Every time I go there I find somewhere new. Whether it's a new place to eat, a new coffee shop where I can stop and rest my feet, or a new shop that seems perfect for me. 

I don't always go there to shop, sometimes I like to go there just to window shop and tomorrow I plan to do just that. Whether I go there with friends or by myself I know I'm going to have a nice day out getting lost in the westend.

Tomorrow I plan to go see the window display at Harrods. This year they have gone all Disney fairytale princess. Harrods has got world renowned designers to recreate the Disney princess dresses. I've seen a few articles on the display and I cant wait to go there are see it myself.

I just might take my camera along with me and take a few pictures.

A few more sketches

 I'm glad to say it's been quite a good week, work hasn't been too bad, and I got the results for the 3 month test I told you all about....

I got 90%, which is great!! 
 

I came 2nd in the class. The people in my department have noticed that I did well and I'm doing well at my job, something I hope will be reflected in my review at the end of the year.

This week has been pretty good and I've decided to end it with a nice lazy weekend of lounging around and doing very little.

So far I've spent most of the weekend asleep and in bed watching TV. I've tidied my room a bit, and organised my clothes, so my outfits for the rest of the week have been planned. I've also done a few sketches and doodles.


As always I'm undecided on the colours that I want them to be in,right now I'm working on trying to get the right shape of the female body and the curves I want to exenuate or in some cases alter.

Here they are...I hope you enjoy them.

Back to the drawing board

It's back to the drawing board. Recently my focus has been a bit more on cooking simply because I couldn't find my skecthpad. My fashion interest is still and I've been looking into it alot more.  I've found a few designers I like. My favourite so far is Alexander McQueen his style is edgy and he has soo much range in his collections, his outfits in each season vary soo much but still have the McQueen feel to it, that brings the collections together.

  

After a bit of research and practise I've decided I wanted to improve my drawing style and make it better. Once I looked up a few poses I've managed to draw my gowns differently in poses, which better suit the outfit and portrays it in the best light.

These outfits are a bit more long, elegant and flowing. I'm focusing more on softer curves and elegant line. My preference is exposed shoulders either with a sweatheart necklines, bustiers or asymetric off the shoulder tops. When I think of material my mind goes to royal blue silk for the dress on the right with pale blue chiffon for the long drapes. With the off the shoulder dress on the left I'm thinking silk or velvet with a possible side slit.

I feel like I can talk about the outfits in my head for hours, there are simple ones, over exaggerated couture dresses just for the runway shows. 

There are a few bridal gowns that keep changing in my head. Now all that's left is to stick to it and get all my ideas onto paper and maybe even once day have come to life so I can show my ideas to everyone. For now these are the dresses that have been on my mind. The one on the left is a possible bridal dress that gives a nice silhouette and grace.

London Fashion Weekend

The olympics are over, the paralympics have finished and now the next thing to look forward to is London Fashion Weekend!! 

London fashion weekend started on friday and now it's in full swing. I've had a look around online and there are still a few tickets left so I might jump in and get some.

Luckily there are still tickets for shopping and the 2.30 trends catwalk show...I'm in two minds as to whether I should go or not. It's too late notice to get my friends to come along with me and not to mention the tickets might be a bit steap. So I get the feeling I'm going to invite my mum. She's dying to spend time with me and she loves shopping and dresses, so I'm sure she'll enjoy it and appreciate the clothes on show. 


If I finally make up my mind and decide to go I will most definately upload all the pictures and keep you updated on how it went.










Lots of love
