see you soon

weekend

look what i found

earlier today i was clearing out some stuff and i found my old portfolio from university i studied fashion design about four years ago. i thought it would be fun to post one of my old illustrations from my final collection, the collection was about a girls messy bedroom and dressing up it was supposed to be something like Carrie Bradshaw would wear on one of her wilder days especially the dress, or something like Kylie would wear on stage at one of her concerts.got to show at London graduate fashion week but can't find the pics !!!!!!!!
the colour on the picture is a bit dodgy as my scanner is rubbish .

make a mixa

i was reading grazia at lunchtime and i saw the mixatape, it looks just like an old fashioned plastic tape cassette but SUPRISE it has a little pop out USB stick, you go to makeamixa pick your design fill the 1GB memory with music, it costs £19.99 but you get it delivered in a shiny box with stickers and a USB cable, this reminds me of being at school taping songs off the radio ,me and my friends making tapes for each other and decorating the boxes with stickers from smash hits.

55 max london

i love black and white photographic images, especially stuff from the sixties and old fashion shoots, so glamorous. 55 max London is a company that has a huge library of images which can be put on to canvases or framed, they are a little pricey but still great to look at for inspiration.
Another great place for vintage and black and white images (and cheaper) is All posters they have a good selection of posters and prints.




brigitte canvas



love this canvas image of brigette bardot £215 from 55 max

Celia-Hammond

image of celia hammond by terrence donovan 40cm x 50cm print £12.99 all posters

Bally-Posters

not black and white but i love this vintage bally ad 46 x 61 print £10.99
