This skirt is so easy to wear and I love the pattern in the material- Its made in 4 parts using both the front and back of the material because I couldnt decide between the colours!

Thrift Shops
While
staying in Brooklyn me and my friend Hema couldn’t resist visiting Williamsburg
where there are some amazing thrift and vintage shops. I could have spent hours and a fortune
in them, however due to an upsettingly small budget I restrained myself to only
two items!
How cute is this pattern! Really want to recreate it by freehand sewing |
This was such a cute and delicate top- It was Chanel if I remeber correctly |

PA // NY // RI
I'm back from America! Along with many photos and such amazing memories. Thank you to everyone who housed me in New York, Philadelphia and Rhode Island.
This is a very very small selection of photos which show some snippets of my trip.

Valentino // Dolce&Gabbana
I had to do a blog post on Valentino and Dolce and Gabbana’s ready to wear Autumn/Winter 2013 collections. I am in love. And as overused as that word might be in my dictionary- I actually am! Both the collections are exciting and diverse and make my DIY mind explode with possibilities of winter capes, embellished collars and statement dresses. If I could, these are the collections I would be wearing!
Dolce and Gabbana - Ready to Wear - Autumn/Winter 2013 |
I can safely say that loose tunics, large collars, tactile
fabrics and exciting embellishments are definitely going to be making an appearance
in my sketches and hopefully also in my wardrobe!
I also had to include these two pieces from Valentino's Spring/Summer 2013 couture collection because as I was looking through the recent catwalk shows I remebered how exquisite they are and I am definetly going to be taking some inspiration from their detailed patterns.

Pinterest!
I use Pinterest all the time- shockingly more than I get round to updating my blog! It inspires me for so many projects and I can sit for hours looking through beautiful photos and creating fun inspiring mood boards.
I also love checking out my friends pin boards and seeing what is inspiring them, so check mine out and if you haven't already- get your own! You wont regret it!
