Sunday- sleeping and shopping.

Sometimes I wish I more things to blog about regularly... We were asked at uni which of us were good bloggers and updated every day and thankfully no one did, so at least I'm not the only awful blogger on the planet. 

I've had a pretty slow couple of weeks, but I finally have a strong sense of direction after me and my tutor covered the corridors with all my work and decided which direction to take my prints. I'm so excited for my final collection now it's unbelievable! And I'm coming up to the really fun stage of experimenting with more dye processes and fabrics in the print room- I can't wait! Unfortunately we've been warned not to put much of our work online at this stage which is understandable so you'll have to wait until May before I reveal it... Instead I thought I'd share with you a few new purchases from this weekend. I'd been given vouchers for H&M and Topshop for christmas, and although I don't usually go high street shopping these days, I thought I'd take a look at what they could offer me. 

Generally I wasn't too impressed, but after a lot of hunting I did fall upon two items that fit in pretty well with my current wardrobe. 

The first is this black mesh jumper/top from H&M which seeing as I'm all for layering, transparency and anything black and oversized I fell in love with it. The second is a black playsuit/short dungaree thing which again is black and loose and just very me. I went to put it on this morning though for Amy to photograph it for me, and one of the buttons holding the back straps on fell off. Not impressed Topshop, not impressed. Luckily it's only a one minute job to fix, but still. I guess you get what you pay for...

Oh, and as soon as I discovered Michaela could do corn rows yesterday I thought I'd take advantage of her skills and let her braid half my head- it kinda feels like a throwback to my thirteen year old chavvy self and I'm actually really enjoying it :) After throwing on some hoops and a paisley scarf I felt like my young self again... Or Taeyang from Bigbang? Because he always looks amazing..
