Another guy from Forever 21, haha.

Just killing time before I go catch my train to Leeds to see besty pal Lowri for her birthday. So excited to be back up north. Hopefully this holey outfit won't be too colddddd.

Love that I can actually use my ridiculous gold-coloured American Apparel rucksack ahaha. Adventurin'.

Also got this cutie deer necklace from my baby Lottie.

Cye!

Went on a bit of a spree at le weekend. Forever 21 was calling. Got this crazy awesome shirt for not very much money and it looks different shades of red/orange throughout the day and in different lights. Pretty rad ey?

more of the same

Ee I'm so boring.

Nah but literally anyone in London right now will understand it's literally too hot to wear anything more than this. I was even hot in my denim jacket for jeez sake. This also unfortunately (or is it?) means I always seem to be wearing at least 2 things from American Apparel. They're obviously well equipped for too-hot weather.

Been tres busy at Cooperative doing cool crazy secretive things for their upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 collection, which I can't tell you about now but I will after the show! All I'll say is it's uber-suhweet.

Stevie the mouse has disappeared oh man.

Got a lotta peeps coming down to visit me/go to Field Day this weekend, which is gonna be awesomeee, and also totally busy and stuff so no doubt I will be awol again for a while. I'm so unreliable. I'm really not in real life though.

Annnnnyway,

of mice and men

Ee hiya. Yeah so, we have a mouse visitor. We decided to call him Stevie Wonder for some reason one night in the pub. Which is where I seem to be spending all my life when I'm not at work these days. Oh well.

But yeah, yesterday we was scurryin' around and he went under my bed we think so we barricaded him in with pillows and I bought a non-lethal mousetrap off eBay so we can return him to his natural habitat.

I got really worried he would starve to death though so I put a weetabix and some water under there for him.

My awesome buddy Nicola gave me this American Apparel skirt 'cause she never wears it and I was in the shop about to buy one aww fanx pal.

Stolen ex-bf tee.

 I'm sorry but I'm fully embracing socks with sandals. Especially with these Topshop guys. They wreck my feet. I guess what else do you expect from there though. Other than falling apart.

Got a bit creative with the nails, with Barry M gold and then blue crackle over the top.

Sheeya!

mark II

This is my I-had-too-much-wine-and-no-food-last-night look. 

It actually made the day bearable even though I thought I'd be a tired achy mess. Cosy.

My boots look gross there, they're actually just pretty nice Chelsea boots, mad even cooler by the fact that I got them off eBay as "jodhpur boots" which made them way cheaper.

Past couple of days has been a blur of black, grey and neon yarns with a lot of meeting friends for post-work drinks thrown in.

Apparently I'm "burning the candle at both ends.

Oh hey.

Can't even be bothered to explain my life inbetween now and last time, but the crack is, I'm living in London and doing a year in industry out from my Fashion Design course.

Currently on a work placement at the awesome Cooperative Designs.

I've been there just over two weeks, I'm having so much fun and learning a lotttt.

Right now we're finishing off production stuff for their Autumn/Winter 2011 collection, some of which is factory manufactured, some of which we have to make in the studio. This is getting sent to be sold in a variety of stores including Urban Outfitters, ASOS and Young British Designers.

Stuff I've been working on/made up include:

 This mohair hoodie and balloon skirt,

 this mohair and lambswool layered maxi skirt,

and these knitted camo pants.

I promise to keep you updated!
