Illustrator-ing

And here is my jersey t-shirt a la Illustrator...Flat drawings on illustrator are so fiddly, especially when you are on a lap-top! But i'm pleased with how it turned out! This is for the lectra unit, to put on my pattern envelope!

Photoshopping

I've been playing around with Photoshop for the FIRST time ever this morning and take a look at what i made...

I've been playing around with layers, and paths and masks and all sorts and this is the outcome, a collage of pictures of some of spring/summer 09 trends. It's just the start, there's plenty more where that came from.

Sex and the City...

...Sequel confirmed for 2010!!!! So many rumours already, including Britney Spears being Carrie's niece??? and Miley Cyrus as a young Carrie (hmmmm..interesting). Can't wait to find out wether Big and Carrie last the distance!!!! But even more exciting will be Patricia Field's styling, she is so so so so amazing at styling sex and the city, i can't even wait!

Boohoo.com

So being a poor student and all i don't really buy half as many clothes as i would like..no wait, want....no wait...NEED to!! But I discovered www.boohoo.com, now there are some pretty good finds on this website and for anyone who does purchase...10% discount code is NUS001


The top one is a really slouchy printed top, in red and cream and black patterns, its loooooovely. and the second one is just a black knitted mini dress which im equally in love with!!

Oslo Fashion Week...

This is the 11th Oslo Fashion Week to be held since Mr. Pål Vasbotten established it in 2004. Sponsered by Max Factor, these are some screen shots of the hottest up and coming make up trends for autumn winter 09. Its all about Dark lipstick, sexy purple and smoky eyes!!

M.I.A at the Grammys...

The "paper planes" singer performed at the Grammys with Kanye West and Jay-Z on her actual pregnancy due date....now call me old fashioned but A) that could have been potentially messy and dramatic and B) surely thats got to be a bit damaging to the little one's ears???

M.I.A is known to be experimental with her fashion choices - kind of liking this....quite ladybird-esque!! Although something screaming within me is saying -someone get the bump some ear muffs, protection or something????

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button....

I went to see Benjamin Button after hearing a lot of luke warm reviews but was still really excited to see it, its a bit haunting and strange but enough about the film the wardrobe is fantastic!!! Cate Blanchett has got some A-MAZING costumes in it. As does Brad Pitt. Costume Designer Jaqueline West designed the costumes through era's of 1919 to 2005. She was nominated an oscar for the best acheivement in costume design for her work and she really deserves it!

Yellow and Black Dogtooth High waisted trousers - so beautiful!


Jaqueline West refrained from using too many accessories on Cate Blanchett because she felt her skin ...is like pearls. She is luminescent. Let her skin be the jewellery.
