i met Gok Wan today...

Today was amazing, Gok is doing his new tv series Goks fashion fix and came to Nottingham!
Me and lots of other fashion students got the chance to watch him when he dresses the models and tells you how to make high street brands look like designer, ready for the catwalk against Brix who is all about designer labels. People who have watched this will be familiar with what im talking about, watch and episode here.

He is so down to earth and has such an amazing personality, im in love!

days out with genius..

sooo i love going to town with my friend from college Genius,
we went to town and decided to take some photos and try out some photography skills and these are a few shots we got

so first of all its a trip to Vintage Warehouse. im in love with this shop, its a big vintage shop in Nottingham and they have clothes on the floor, on hangers, hanging off the ceiling. Its truely amaze!

fashion show

so, ive been doing fashion for a year now,
and its time for the second years fashion show.
i got asked to model a few, and this is one of the outfits by a lovley girl called Amiee.


i loved her collection, the colours are so gorgeous!

and then us first years had to make work wear clothing, a shirt and skirt
and this is a few of the outfits.

it was a hard week but i loved it, and i cannot wait to do year 2 and get my collection on the runway!

LETS GET RIPPED!

this is all about ripped tights. i love them, and think they are sooo sexy. its like marmite, either love it or hate it.

R.I.P Alexander Mcqueen

Sadly, One of my favourite fashion designers died this week (11th February 2010). He was well known for this dramatic designs, which were worn by mostly Lady Gaga and Rihanna.

He was found dead by his housekeeper. He died just days before the Fashion Week, which is very sad. Most people think his suicide was because days before his death, his mother died, and on his twitter, he was posting things like he had a bad week.
I will always love Alexander McQueens fashion and he'll always be remembered.
I especially loved how he brought back the 'skulls' into fashion instead of people thinking thats just a Halloween thing. Because i have a weird obsession with skulls, and ive got one of his scarfs which was inspired by him.

if you loved McQueen aswell, what did you like best about him?

Spoilt Myself Rotten - haul

well, were do i start, February has been a busy month using my debit card! So id like the share some of the bargains i got.
First of all, i really really really wanted an ipod (especially a purple one) because ive never had one before and im tired of using my crap phone. So i deiced to go on ebay and i bidded and won a purple ipod nano which was 16GB, for £54! YEAHBOY!
Secondly, ive been dieing for a nice pair of nike creps, and i've wanted this certain trainers for months but it was always sold out on pickyourshoes.com. so the months went on and i was strolling through town one day and saw them in a shop window, and instantly got them! im so happy. what destiny!


Also my mum deiced to go to the Nottingham Catel Market (spelling?) which is basically a market full of random things. looks abit like someones tipped someones house out and put everything for sale, and i ended up getting some amazing vintage items for my room, first a vintage mirror ive wanted for agers.

which was £5. yes i repeat five pounds! i fell in love at first sight!
Then i was just about to leave and something stood out, which was this beauty


its gorgeous, and i nearly died when the man told me the price, i was expecting it too be £50 and it was £5! so i got it before anyone else saw it! :) looks beautiful in my bedroom.


So overall, i am very pleased with the purchases this month
