TIME

*RANDOM POST*
So it's been 9 months since I've blogged anything and it slightly annoys me actually cause my fashion journey has actually grown and I've learnt a lot but haven't had the chance to note it all down. To be honest I got slightly lazy with this and just didn't have time. Now that I'm in third year really and truly don't expect any posts anytime soon, well hopefully by May when I've finished my collection. Anyway graduation soon...I'll be back :)

Something to blog about

Shorts & Shoes - New Look 

These are my recent purchases with money I do not have :|  but I couldn't help it, I feel like I'm starting to have a shopping addiction. Anyway...I've gone leather crazy lately in which I made myself a skirt. It took me a few hours to make and I'm pretty happy with the result so I've aimed to try and sew something for myself more often, that way I won't have to purchase items I cannot afford.

29 Ways to stay creative

So I've just watched this for the first time and I totally agree with 28 ways except the drinking coffee! now to challenge myself in being consistent with some of the points :)

Androgyny

Grace Jones

Tilda Swindon 

I've currently been attracted to androgyny, well not the sexual side as such but the aesthetic and style of its nature. I love the aspect of having masculine and feminine characteristics within dress and garment design as well. The way we dress says many things about you from personality to preferences and even mood, in which the androgyny way of dress to me speaks power and rebel.  By this I feel that there is less boundaries in having the control of your external image and expressing a voice through dress. Society's definition of what is 'acceptable' has also changed in which the androgynous style is often misinterpreted. 

"Androgynous today means that men and women have the same attitude towards what they want to wear"  - Giorgio Armani

Project Runway All Stars S2 - challenge 5

Emilio Sosa

Althea Harper

Anthony Ryan

 In project runway all stars season two the designers were given a challenge to create an avant-garde, androgynous look for a male and female model. These are my three favorite looks from the episode, well actually they are the ones that seemed to have nailed the idea of androgyny compared to the other designers.
 I would love to have Anthony Ryan's male look , that shirt dress is just calling my name!

Topshop Virgin

Today I finally lost my Topshop virginity , totally embarrassing but I've actually never owned anything from that shop at all.To be honest, I used to hate it and I didn't have any valid reasons to but now I've come to the realization that I'm in love with it. My personal style actually lives in Topshop but it will definitely rape my bank balance considering the price range of the items. Anyway I plan to do more purchases in there for the rest of the year, well I've already started since I bought the necklace and boots from there today so yeah... IT'S TOPSHOP BABY!!!
