The Effects of Blogging - Mary Katrantzou

College is supposed to be an inspirational place, especially a fashion college on an art + design course. This isn't often the case at my college, however I have just realised the full scope of the blogging community.
Last year at college we briefly looked at Mary Katrantzou. I never really looked at her stuff with much enthusiasm, nor when I saw her items in magazines was I that interested. However, now, thanks to blogger thelovecatsinc, I'm wishing I could win a quadruple roll over with the lotto for these:

Postcard inspired

Cupcake inspired

Travelling

Today I'm travelling up to Leeds to visit a friend in uni. It's only 4 hours up the road but I'm hoping I come back with fresh inspiration and new style ideas! 4 hour road trip time =( will be my longest car journey yet =(

LFW

With London Fashion Week nearly over I wanted to look at whats happened so far! With so many designers and exhibitors it would be impossible to look at everyone but here's my fave of the best. 

 I love the prints Peter Pilotto is using:                                    

      I'm loving the elegance of Antonio Berardi as well as the materials:       

Holly Fulton:

Lastly PPQ - Last year they perfectly predicted monochrome an I was in love with their chiffon dip dye dress:

I love the pieces but have they got the season right?

crop tops and films

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would catch up with the last couple of days.
For my final major project at college there is a strong 20's theme therefore I watched The Great Gatsby for inspiration. The film started slowly but soon became great! A few times I got a little bored and tried skipping it along but for the most part it was really enjoyable!! This summer comes the version by Baz Lurhman director of the amazing Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet and staring Leo DiCaprio. LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!!
Other news Crop Tops Topshop has an amazing range of crop tops for sale at the moment, sleeveless, short sleeved, oddly great long sleeved and so many others.
Today I bought these great crop tops:

I also have designed a great dungaree dress (although my computer crashed so I have nothing left of the design on my computer) which I will love to share once they are finished if I can source a great fabric for them.
