Macs on Mac

So I havn't covered fashion week as much as I wanted! But before you start pointing the finger of SHAME, remember I'm a university student with summer work, a part time job and a business ... so busy (the definition of myself)! But before I ventured off to the lovely world of part time employment last night, I managed to catch the live broadcast of Burberry Prorsum on my trusty MacBook. Then again there was no way I was going to miss it, after all Burberry has become my new love. So how can I round up Burberry's Prorsum Spring / Summer 2011 catwalk show ...... erm .... AMAZING!
It just oozed sophisticated youth, with the classic Burberry Macs and neutral colours but now with even more bold flashes of colour drawing your unwitting eyes into outfits of pure inivation! So it's fair to say I loved it. I particularly liked the Alexander Mcqueen-esk influence with the lizard and animal prints. I do want every piece but none more so than in the finally leather jacket encrusted with studs, incredible!

It's a Show!

So silly me completely forgot to mention London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011 starts tomorrow! It must be my old age ... 21 is the new 60! I'm going to try and keep up to date, try and blog and most definitely blog about my favorite ... Burberry! If you want to learn more about the scheduale and the designers showing this week visit the London Fashion week sight,

On another exciting note, myself and some of my class mates have been fortunate enough to have our work from last term posted on the London College of Fashion website! Take a look,

Chain, chain, chain

I have to admit it, recently I've been ... well ... normal! Seeing friends, socialising and chilling out. But whilst chilling out that little fashion switch within does not have an off option! So alarm bells rang wild when I saw this masterpiece worn by none other than the perfectly petite Kylie Minogue.


Maybe it's the chains! Every jewellery designer loves a bit of chain. But one thing is for certain ... I WANT I WANT!
Watch the video if you desire and marvel ...

On another note, what's this? ....


Yep it's me! I've been working on a very belated Autumn / Winter 2010 collection. I'm almost done and all that experience has definitely been worth my while because I think these pieces are by far by best in terms of ready to wear! Not too sure where I'm going to sell them first as I have an event I'll be selling at soon. So you online beauties may or may not have to wait in great anticipation ... of which I'm sure!
So for now remind yourself of what I do have on sale right now on the website ...

Yes this post is short and sweet but September is my month off, of reflection on this summer's work and preparing for year two of London College of Fashion, can't wait!
I will try my best to post another entry for this month though as it's my 21st birthday soon and will hopefully be visiting the "Fake Food & Fast Cars: The Pop Couture of Kate Forbes" at The Horse Hospital in our fair London before it finishes on the 2nd October.
