Since becoming a teacher I never have time to create anything myself, other than worksheets. Wowzers.

So instead I have made it my aim to see as many exhibitions as possible, in recent times I saw the PreRaphalites at Tate Briton, the Valentino exhibition at Somerset House and in a couple of days time the Wild Life Photographer of the Year. Very Cultured.

6 Items Challenge

Blog hoping I found this: http://thesixitemschallenge.wordpress.com/the-blog/

Participents wear only 6 items of clothing for a month, accesories are not included in this.

Looking through the blog, its fantastic to see people wearing clothing in ways that they were never intended to be worn or in unusual combinations see the jumper skirt below.

It also got me thinking to wether I could achive this myself. Half of me thinks it would be a breeze, and the other half not. As a teacher I would find it hard, not the actual wearing of six items of clothes but pupil reaction to my what they would deem odd behaviour.

I have had a similar disscusion with a friend about armpit hair. If you care to know I shave while during term time and leave it during holidays, again this is down to outside perception mainly from female pupils in my classes.

Autumn Couture

Couture I feel is treading the line between farcical floor length sequin ball gowns and cutting edge cutting and styling. So few designers can afford to produce a Couture collection and even fewer people across the globe can afford to splash the cash on one of these fantasy creations and that's where the problem for me lies. Hours of work, hundreds of pounds, meters of silks and velvets never to be worn again. A show case of vulgarity? Perhaps. Yet here I am. In awe and wonder I look through this years Autumn Couture pictures. I'm envious of the models and the designers. More so the designers, they have the opportunity to create the fantasy princess wardrobe. Because let's face it that's what this is and I can't make my mind up whether that's acceptable.

Armani Privé

Elegant evening wear, Soon to be spotted on red carpets around the world. Its whats expected of Armani Privé and they deliver over and over. The beautiful twilight atmosphere of the colours and show really accent the fabrics and trims used in the collection, light reflecting to catch the last of the days rays or to mimic starlight? I especially loved the use of two models to walk the catwalk in complementing outfits, the pale shell pink and blue suits are a favourite.

Wild Swimming

Wild Swimming. Dose a dip in the sea on holiday count? Perhps not.

When I was younger, I was one of those kids that coudn't keep out of the water. I went in first, as others followed, apprantley I warmed the water up.

Below is is a beach just round the corner from Lands End. It looks idylic and so invting...

Summer Project

Having finished my PGCE course I'm now at a loose end. Time for some summer projects I think, for awhile now I have wanted to hand sew an entire garment. I have a tunic of my grandmothers that has some fantastic hand embroidered flowers on the left corner, but alas my decorative stitches are not up to scratch.

Here then is the first summer project, a second hand pattern from my local Oxfam shop. I like the look of the straight skirt and boxed cropped tunic. Next step is to choose from my extensive range of fabric, could be difficult.

Crazy Colours

I would love to shoot portraits in an environment like this, preferably without the happy hardcore tunes in the background. That would be great.

I hope it does not rain this time....
