Well it may have seemed like the blog had died, but the fact is I have been awfully busy, and school starts tomorrow including GCSE'S, oh joy....! So just in my little segment of free time, I thought i had to do a blog post! The first thing that occurred to my head was ...VINTAGE, we all love vintage; it's unique, it can be cheap, it has a story and remember it's not what you wear it's how you wear it ;) (a bit cheesy...)!

Well for all you followers, I have found something quite special.... ' THE VINTAGE KILO SALE'! Including garments from the 1960's -1980's, accessories, both womenswear and menswear! The whole catch is that, every kilo of vintage garments and accessories you buy is only £15! Otherwise you can buy any other garments from the price of £5-£8, depending on what it is, and accessories from £5, and coats from £10! Nothing could sound better, and will do a massivoooo blog post when it comes up, as I will make sure I'll be attending to see how good it is.

It takes place on the 13th and 14th Of November, in the lo actions off Brick Lane, perfect vintage spot:
The Rag Factory
16 Heneage Street
London
E1 5LJ
(Just off Brick Lane, Whitechapel end)

I have been so busy recently filming for a TV programme, can't say what it is for copyright reason, but it's to do with fashion, so that's the reason for lack of posting! Also I was in Topshop yesterday on Oxford Street, and we got evacuated! The alarms suddenly went off while I was in the toilet, and about a few thousand people flooded out. Plus I saw Diana Vickers!! Now due to busy schedule, I shall leave you with some beautiful exclusive AW10  collection images by Louis Vuitton. Beautiful, and emphasising 'more is less'.

Votes were pretty close, but well it turned out to be a 'Nay' to the new blog design, and well I in some ways agree, and trust me I've wanted a bigger layout. So I'm thinking of moving...wordpress, tmblr? I really need something that shows off the images, after all this is a fashion blog! But do not fret, I shall keep looking through their templates and see what I can do...;)

And here is some insane make up I did over the weekend, and also the song I'm addicted to ;) :

My dear dear followers, now I know the blog layout has changed, and I can't change it back, as of Bloggers new template designer; SO ANNOYING! And the new designs aren't as spacious! Okay, sorry a bit of moaning there. Anyways please place your vote in the poll on the right for new blog design! 


Well I met up with my friend Cora; we had a rather coooool day, bought some funky fabrics. I shall do a post on that later, once i've made my design, which consists of vintage lace sleeves, and spandex...don't worry it's not as disastrous as it sounds ;). Here are a few pics of our day; while chilling ;):


A beautiful Sunset we enjoyed



This is ma favvvvvveeeeee; so so so so so pretty of cora!

Okay, well I really should be tidying up now. It would seem like I'd be a neat person, but I am literally the messiest person on this planet. Once i had mouldy water, yep I know Lovely, though I have learnt from that, the only mess that is a threat is my 'floordrobe'.

Anyway here are my other designs, from AGGGEEESSSSS ago. I've done more in one, as these are my least favourite, and well sometimes feel like they put me to shame...

 A simple customised pair of jeans splattered with paint, referring to the artist Jackson Pollock. The other designs to come aren't so me, but I still like them ;). The jeans look fab with DM's, and I'm thinking of making a waistcoat out of Jean labels ;) ( have a few old Levi ones around :D) and studs I recently purchased.

Here you go :


P.s thinking of redoing my blog design???

As said before last week, these next few posts or so, are full of my designs and creations. So her is garment 2.

At the moment i am absolutely obsessed with American Prep style, hence the purchase of a cheerleading Vintage vest...
So I decided to customise a preppy cardigan, but add chiffon and a collar, to give it an edge; and a bit more me with the mix of styles.
The Chiffon was used for sleeves, here is the pattern cutting process of adding the sleeves.

Garment  1
As you know it's the Summer Holidays; which means free time ;)! Well anyway that gave me time to do some creative making! Also an opportunity to post garments I had made before. So I'm going to post different Garments every day or so.

When I first started blogging, I came across Vintag Stop; what a wonderful blog it is ;). Full of fashion mainly, but also about day to day life; always from an interesting point of view. Funny thing is that I realised Vicki, whom is 16, went to my dance school, also I see her walking down my road from school ( makes me sound a tad like a stalker.....) ;). So I decided it was time for a little thing called an 'Interview'. It s a good read ;)


How did you start to become interested in fashion?

really sure how my interest for it occurred. My family has

been a huge influence. I think my sister, Liz was the

largest influence since she had been interested in fashion

long before me and always bought fashion magazines like

Vogue and Elle and I always liked looking at the

advertisements and the pretty clothes. My parents always

loved John Galliano's couture, I was intrigued by my mum's

old wardrobe and my dad studied textiles and had all these

old men's Vogue magazines so I guess I've been slightly

surrounded by fashion growing up although it didn't affect

my sister, Alex at all (she's a very plain Jane).

How would you describe your style? 
Always changing. I get bored easily of the same thing after
a while so I like to try new things out regularly, being
influenced by what I like on the cat walk and my mood,
mixing it with my mum's old vintage.

Who inspires you in Fashion? 
Alexa Chung and Florence because they never fail to deliver
a wonderful outfit. Lady Gaga because she takes everything
to the next level and I admire that in a way. Alexander
McQueen, Tim Walker and John Galliano for being absolute
genuises. I'm sure I'm forgetting some more people.

What inspired you to start your amazing blog ;)? 
My friend, Aashna (http://www.foreverme22.blogspot.com)
already had a blog and told me about it and said I should
try it out and I'm so thankful for that because blogging is
bloody fantastic. Tavi (http://www.thestylerookie.com) also
inspired me to because I admired (and envied ;)) her
individuality and
success at such a young age!                                                        <-------- Ahhh SAME as me!                  

Your main ambition? What would you like to do eventually in
Fashion/ Life?
Well, in a perfect world, my mum would encourage me to go
into fashion and the fashion industry wouldn't be so
competitive. But for now, my dreams are to be successful,
rich and happy in whatever I do (probably something Mathsy)
but to keep my love for fashion alive by continuing
blogging. Oh, and I aim to sit in at least the third row in
any fashion show and to have my hands on my own pair of
peach diamante encrusted armadillo heels! Yes, I'm very
ambitious!

Your main hobby? 
Dancing, playing the piano and playing tennis on wii which
is my greatest forte ;)

What is Fashion to you? 
Ahh, I always think of this question. I won't say anything
cheesy like it's art or whatever so I shall say that is a
bunch of fresh ideas that designers think of which changes
every season and creates a trend which influences people.

Fave designer, why? 
The late Alexander McQueen, the great man himself, because
he was so consistent in each line and I've loved almost
every single one of them! May Sarah Burton keep up to at
least half his standard. Apart from that, I don't always
stick to a favourite designer since it depends on how much I
like their most recent collection which changes every
season. For me, Spring/ Summer 2010 was the best so far -
Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen and Marc Jacobs were all too good
for words.

Fave shop, why? 
Beyond Retro all the way because it's very affordable, the
vintage is bloody amazing and there won't be anyone else
with the same item!                                                                 <-------- Ahhh SAME as me!

Vicki' lookbook profile:   
http://lookbook.nu/user/77921-Victoria-L

Well yesterday, we broke up from school (WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP)! SO my friends and I did some retail therapy ;), and went to the park in which I managed to do some pics for my lookbook post ;), after we had a sleepover. Though sadly we didn't get the opportunity to do my 'Starbucks Marathon';  which is where we you go round every Starbucks and buy a  different Frappicino ( yes, I am obsessed with Starbucks), so instead I bought two at once ;).Well anyway here are some of the photos, and the lookbook post from them ;)

Lookbook is a rather confusing concept, I'd say it's more about the photography than the actual outfit. So I doubt I'll get many hypes for my few new LookBook post. So I've decided I really need a new camera, the resolution and picture size just ins't strong enough.
