AWOL

Hey so wow, haven't been on here in a while. Lotta stuff been going on, I'll probably fill you in later.
Got an email from Joe Browns inviting me to a fashion event in Leeds because of my blog, and it made me realise I should probably make more of an effort, especially as I actually have stuff to blog about now living in London and interning at some awesome fashion placements.. more on that later.

Quick shnapps before I head to work:

Soz about the quality.

Most of this stuff is presents; shirt from Lucy, necklace from Nicola and hand-tie dyed socks from Howski.

It was my birthday people don't just give me stuff.

I look like a total hipster and I don't even care.

tis the season to be jolly

Wow, been a hectic couple of days! Had about a million deadlines, Christmas shopping, car re-starting, and most important of all, a trip to London for some interviews for possible work placements!

Amazingly, I've been offered placements at both Cooperative Designs and Erdem! So so excited! 2011/12 will be awesommmeee.

Finally home in Durham now, gonna spend the holidays majorly chilling, possibly punctuated by revision and the last part of my Digital Design project, haa.

Went to London yesterday, to go to the Future Beauty Japanese designers exhibition at the Barbican, and also to visit Yohji Yamamoto's store. More on that later, I'm in a rush to get to uni and knit. Speaking of knitting, today I'm wearing a (pretty much) all knitted outfit!

Got this extra long (you can't tell here) stripy jumper and knitted trousers from H&M yesterday. H&M is weird, I either go in and find absolutely nothing, or some absolute gems.

These trousers are the greatest. They are like a knitted version of the current peg-leg trend. And they have this awesome silken panel. THEY ARE SO COOL.

Jumper's pretty awesome too, I'm gonna wear it as a dress with extra-thick tights and boots for the coming wintery months.

This monochromatic palette is also pretty relevant, as Dom's house's chickens got killed by something last night and I'm very sad, so brights can be saved for another day. X
