Hello There

My current project - Inside Out-  called for a photo shoot! and where a better place than Spode, it's impossible to get a bad shot, meaning it will look amazing on online portfolio's for when it come's to the dreaded uni application! - For those that aren't aware with what Spode is, it was once a main part of the thriving potteries industry! but as the industry for pottery declined places began to shut down and many factories we demolished. The Spode factory is located in stoke in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent a city renowned for its pottery, the space is now used for exhibitions and students work and just as an monument and memory to the thing that but Stoke-On-Trent on the map, pottery.

I adore Spode, as all of the damage and run down, crumbling details give the place an amazing atmosphere and background to any photograph, they even make a beautiful photo with out anything in them.

For the shoot I made a wadded turtle neck jumper inspired garment and head/neck piece, I made it purposely look unfinished to give it that extra-deconstructed look I also sewed it all using the overlocker so that the stitching stands out alot more and almost looks like an outline. 

Whilst there we got a friend from the photography course to make a film / documentary on it, it turned out amazing, shes a really good film maker - check her out on YouTube - Timztelly

New Year. 2014

Hello there!

Its finally the end of 2013 and time to take out all the bad things of 2013 *cough* leather trousers *cough* and welcome in the New Year. And as with all New Years comes  New Years Resolutions! so if you haven't got any, here are some suggestions;

- Eat Healthy

- Quit Smoking

- Start a Fashion Brand

- Go Out More
- Go Bingo

- Get Fit

-Get Ripped

- Start A Blog

etc.

I've decided to go for - Blog more, Read More, Don't Be a Pushover and Get Fit! But the real test is whether I stick to them! - fingers crossed...

I thought my first post of 2014 should be a cheeky little ootd, i would do my New Years ootd however I was a silly goose and never took a snap, however i recently went thrifting and found a few little treasures;

 - Short Sleeve Embroidered Jumper -
- £1.99 -

 - Pink Burberry Shirt -
- £2.50 -

- Denim Stand Collar Shirt -

- £1.99 -

And finally my FAVOURITE find in recent times;

 - Suede Coat with Bjorg Lining -
- £1 -

And so with this recent thrift and a ootd-less New Year I thought I'd do my ootd for today -

- Headphones - Sony, White Tee - Topman, Necklace - Topman, Coat - Thrifted, Jeans - Cheap Monday, Shoes - Nike Blazers -

I also thought I should give christmas a gentle nod in this post too  as its my favourite holiday of the year!

- A few of my favourite decorations, the last one is the oldest decoration we have in the house and is probably the one that I love the most -

Thats all for this post! I hope you all had an amazing New Year and I hope 2014 is equally as amazing for everyone!

Happy New Year
