Secret Garden Party

I'm just recovering from the secret garden party festival, it was lovely. So many interesting people and outfits. Just wish I had a digital camera to take more photo's. I took a few on disposable ones, they turned out quite pretty.

Off to secret garden

I'm off to SECRET GARDEN PARTY tomorrow, lovely. just wish i had these to take with me

Beau-arts Country

Styling- Emma White
Models- Louise Lowdell and Sophie Taylor
Photography- Amy Ellis

This is a photoshoot I did for first year at uni, my theme was beau-arts country. I had the best location, a huge house in cheltenham town. The ceilings were high and the rooms were full of lovely objects and pieces of artwork. The wallpaper was hand painted and the main room was an amazing acid yellow. the house belonged to a friend of my parents, he was the head of fashion for Cheltenham Univeristy when they both studied there, they actually know him as they used to model for him when at Uni. He used to work for Yves Saint Laurent, British Vogue among others, so he was very helpful too! The hat in the photo above belonged to his grandmother so was over a hundred years old, Sophie the model loved it, I wasn't sure at first but loved it in the end.

I would like these. . .

More alterations

I have been busy busy, well for one day I didn't stop sewing and cropped, stitched up and fixed 20 pieces of clothing. These are a few of them.

Unfortunately I'm using my little brother digital camera because mines broken and I can't seem to get a photo which isn't blurry!

This dress was made with the most amazing material, it was if it was painted.

This one I took in and cropped to make a little top.

This one was a dress I bought in Bournemouth, it's huge and I cut it far too short, it wasn't quite right as a dress so i turned it into a little t shirt, I might actually wear this one, or maybe sell to Pandora, i'll have to see.

window shopping

Just been on Net-a-porter.com and seen lots of things I want. Especially the Roberto Cavalli's leopard ring I would of attempted to buy it if it hadn't sold out. Think the leather clutch is lovely too, and the apple bag is amazing, think I even might prefer it to the Chanel Russian doll bag. The apple bag wasn't on net-a-porter I can't remember where I saw it.

Off to the farm

I've applied to be a rep, now just waiting for a response. Also I entered the Oxfam competition, I used the dress I made in first year, the competition ends soon so thought it's best to enter something quickly and I don't think I would have time to make something as good as my dress.

I'm off to London today, then off to Sussex to stay on Alex's friends farm, should be lovely. So no sewing for me for a while but when I get back I need to do lots.
