Monday. Monday. Monday.

Over the weekend I received some lovely dresses which I had won on ebay and I thought I'd show one off today. I have gone mid-length mad, as I love how this trend is so flattering to ladies with a little extra weight. The mid-length has such a retro vibe but has been updated with sheer material and romantic colours. This one has little caramel coloured leaves all over it and I know that I can dress it up at night or down in the day.

What does everybody else think of mid-length? Loving it as much as me? or sticking to the mini?! I'll be posting more outfit posts later in the week...

Frames. Frames. Frames.

I am currently lost in a world I call klub. I am living, breathing and thinking klub at the moment. I have just bought some amazing frames off ebay which are going to be perfect for my final exhibition piece. I want to portray the visual experience as one which focuses on looking through a shop window. Although the brand is online, you still see the brand and its concept through a window so I am taking my initial inspiration of Fred Butler and adapting this to a not so literal way - if that makes sense. The picture frames will have different depths and images in each one. The fact that these frames need restoring is perfect. I just hope my idea and sketches of it can be pulled off! FINGERS CROSSED!



I am home next week and I plan on taking some outfit shots to post as I haven't done it in aaaaages.

klub.

I've launched a new blog today with its own domain name for my Final Major Project brand. As I've probably stated before, I'm launching a a new menswear label which is only available online. I wanted my own domain name for the blog which would link through from the website - a. To look more professional and b. So the blog could be linked to from the indesign pages of my website. It's VERY basic at the moment and has no photos/posts etc... BUT is a working progress so feel free to follow it at this early stage and show it to any male bloggers you may know. When my shoot is done next week I will be adding photos and customizing it more, so the horrible template photo isn't visible anymore. Here is the link to the blog - www.thisisklub.net

Fuji Instax 100

I bought a new polaroid instant camera off ebay and it's maaassssive. I like going backwards with my camera technology. My digital nikon slr is amazing but I love film cameras and now have an old polaroid camera, a diana mini, lomo fisheye and this Fuji instax camera. The polaroids are more of a rectangular shape so when I have some film and do my shoot next week, I'll post theme here to show you the result. Here's a picture...it is almost bigger than my head!

Berry Pleats.

An outfit post. I'm thinking of wearing this for LFW. I love this berry colour and the length of this skirt.



I also treated myself to some new boots. I think I'm addicted to buying new boots.

Its been a while.

Again I am back to my rubbish ways with my last post being exactly a month ago but I am in the process of trying to pass my degree so blogging goes to the bottom of my list. Anyhow I've been researching researching researching this week and have found some images which I have used as inspiration. I'm currently developing my major project which involves hypothetically launching a menswear online label called Klub. It's going to be a visual label, with an interactive site and I'm trying to develop a way of displaying the garments on the site without using the dreaded white mannequin or random people in front a white background. These are images which I have pulled from the internet over this past week...











Some of them aren't particularly high res but you get the picture of the route I'm trying to take. I love the idea of a window frame and looking through it...so this could be something which my final exhibition piece takes into account.

Oh and I'm going to the Burberry Prosum show at London Fashion Week on Monday courtesy of my Uni...something good had to come out of going to Huddersfield! - so I'll be uploading phone pics of this next week (hopefully!)
