Beautiful? Yes.

I personally think that wind turbines look good and will be a more common sight in the years to come, they are far more pleasing to the eye than coal powered stations.

Denmark proves that Green Energy can work and will work, according to an article in the Guardian today, Denmark hopes to become completely fossil fuel free by 2050.

So if Denmark can do it, why not us? There really is no excuse.

Pen's Are Friends

This evening I have been at St Gemma's Hospice charity fashion show and I found this lovely company www.zincwhite.co.uk they make jewellery from crayons and old type writers.
Obviously I bought two hair clips that look like this, very pleased.

Shopping for Trainers While at Work...........

Thanks to Office they are both in the Sale, now to choose which one? Hmmm

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months........

I have always loved No doubt and their lead singer Gwen Stefani so there's no surprise in me liking her L.A.M.B label. Unlike Mrs Beckham, Gwen Stefani has her own intrinsic style and this shows through in her Spring/Summer looks, bright bold and beautiful!

Erdem can do no wrong as far as I am concerned, their prints are beautiful and the use of patchwork is something I'd like to see more of.

Beautiful Simplicity is what is expected of Helmut Lang and this season they don't disappoint, the pale palette is set off by the one blood red dress, stunning.

Nude's Again?

Sometimes I really would like to able to just go mad and create beautiful dresses for women to wear to exclusive party's and on the red carpet! We were never given the opportunity on my degree as it was considered to close to costume or wedding dress design. I will just have to live out my dream through Marchesa's wonderful dresses.

I love her Perfume and I love her clothes so its no surprise that I love her her new collection, its probably because it calls to my inner hippy with the riotous use of floral's and patchwork. The neutrals work just as well if not better though!!
Organic by John Patrick, is a simple collection using recycled plastics to create sharp and simple yet beautifully executed dresses and tailored Pieces.

Fashion Week.....

So looks like there's been a touch of the east in the collections so far, I really like the necklines at Vera Wang, Origami like folds at Carolina Herrera and the patchwork like fabrics at Rodarte.

Hand Knitting

Today me and mum went to look at the local knitting shop, ready for autumn. http://www.baaramewe.co.uk/ My mum is a fantastic knitter, and we got the Land girls pattern book
How ever as much as I would love to support a local buissness and but locally produced wool, i just can't afford to pay £38 pounds for a small cardi! So I bought the wool and buttons from Martin House charity shop for £10.

Goa in Central London?

So I feel its time to refresh my design theory, now I don't have to read theory texts I think that I'll get even more out of them! First up Victor Papaneck, Design for the real world. I wish that the normal libray had more books like these.

At the moment I am also attempting to do a drawing a day in weird accounts book that I got from Oxfam, it has lines and numbers in odd places but it smelt like old book shop so I had to have it

A little bit more of what I've been wearing....
