I feel the urges steaming already.

Hello! I was meant to have posted a nice little diddy about CLIC Sargent's nice vintage shop on Gloucester Road, but the photos are on my hard drive and I can't use it without my travel adapters. As they are in storage while I prepare to go back home to America for the summer, I can't post until I'm by some good ol' America plug sockets . Nice. My bad, so that will be up right after my sisters wedding...so...sometime next week! Trust me, it's a good-un!

I have finally moved out of my third year house and I am technically homeless until I go home on Friday. Now, I've been staying at a friends house and as I'm home alone while they're all at work, I go into housewife mode. I've been cleaning and cooking just for things to do (because, between you and me, I've become a bit of a bum. Not working, just relaxing, which is well nice!) and I've just finished ironing a bunch of shirts and I've felt a bit of inspiration brewing.


I don't normally iron shirts, because I go out of my way to buy things that don't need to be ironed, but doing it this one time makes me want to either jump right back into menswear or maybe make some really cool drapey shirts for when I eventually get into some field where I need to actually dress in proper workwear attire *shudder* Something a bit All-Sainty like so:


Oh yeah. I feel like designing again


...right when I get back to America. x

Bit of press!

Aloha. Can I just stress the amount of excitement when I saw that people actually liked my collection. I watched the audience as my models went down the catwalk and their smiles and premature applause before the lineup really made me proud.

Now you can only imagine how chuffed (oh the British phrases I've picked up...) I was when the well known blogger Charlie May blogged about our show and I was included in her review! I was jumping for joy when my friend Shiv sent me a link about it. Have a gander at the loverly post she's done about the first half of our graduate fashion show.

A la Mode: UWE GRADUATE SHOW PART 1

And just cos I'm not selfish and I would love to help out my fellow designers as much as possible, check out the second half as well!

A la Mode: UWE GRADUATE SHOW PART 2

Big shout out to Charlie May though, you're seriously the bomb sniggety for blogging about us!

Another shout out to Miss Fashion Fashionista for also blogging about our show. It's even cooler that I know Fran personally and she was part of our support system last year when she was a third year and when she kept popping into uni with loads of advice for us this year. We are ever grateful and hope keep on inspiring girl!

INTRODUCING THE NEW GENERATION

Ah and there's yet another fashion-forward website called Whiteboard Fashion I've managed to get onto. My great friend James Morris came to the show and wrote an article about my menswear collection! When I read it, I was soooo honored! He wrote such an amazing article and I was so lucky that it was about my work and he legit liked it!

WE WENT, WE SAW, WE CONQUERED: GRADUATE FASHION SHOWS

So much love from the people. So much love! Seems I need to add a "Press" bit to my website now...Oh and we made the paper as well.
