What Katie Wore

fashion blog 'whatkatiewore' is one of my favourites. started by boyfriend when katie claimed that she thought that she could go a whole year without wearing the same outfit twice. he photographs her daily and records her stylish outfits day by day. quirky, eccentric and colourful, each outfit is seen to be different. here are some of my favourites..

...oh so jealous of the size of her wardrobe.

Linder- flower face

floral face

Linder's photomontages aren't exactly new, having been around since the 70's...however i love these shots...especially as florals have been so on trend this summer..

Bangers and Fash NG1

proud of my trent boys

a small group of my friends who do graphic design at my uni have set up a t-shirt company called 269.

designing the graphics and screen printing them to the tees themselves is how they have begun their business. earlier this month they held a fashion show at a brownes bar in nottingham along with other up and coming brands; we make t shirts and individual threads.

mr dan boaden from synthdromes was the guest dj along with justin reid-simms

the night was a huge success

as they say,

'watch this space...'

one of these please...

busy end of term times have meant i haven't blogged in a while now..so let's get back into the swing of things

summer is finally here and the beach is beckoning...can't wait to hit the cornish waves next week...could do with one of these to get me and my surf stuff about!

the tattoo trend

are tattoos simply a fashion trend? 

with so many people these days inking their skin it has become a modern day phenomenon...but will it go out of fashion? is there going to be some special way of not maintaining the quality of the image when the skin gets old and wrinkly?! 

some i love and some i hate, but i can't help thinking, no trend lasts forever. i change my wardrobe, hair and general style far too much to be sure of having something on me forever!

this photoshoot is way back from december 2007, vogue italia, but i thought it was appropriate for my thoughts!

having recently completed a fashion project for uni on glam rock, my eye caught this fun collection from ash..found from one of my favourite spanish blogs

http://www.ashitalia.com/

it was my 20th birthday last wednesday

had an awesome day and night with friends, went and saw la roux before we went out..best known for 'in for the kill' with various remixes.

valentino-the last emperor

please please come to the uk!

i'm simply desperate to see the new valentino film. having been out in the u.s. for some time, i think it's about time that it came here..

positive thinking

i haven't read it yet, but the title of this book caught my eye. written by 'advertising guru', pail arden.

i especially like that one the front it says "the world's best selling book by paul arden" that's some positive thinking for you

friday night with jonathan ross

went to see the recording of friday night with jonathan ross last night which was ace. good old ross was hilarious as ever, and oh so professional. guests were hugh jackman, lady gaga and martin clunes. 

not being a massive woverine fan, hugh jackman was slightly lost on me i'm afraid to say, however was very chatting and a good guest to have on. 

lady gaga was didn't exactly come out on top with

 her one word answers and waffling on about something to do with her life being art and that's the thing that shoots you in the face...i dont know...maybe us english folk just don't get her...she certainly didn't get ross' joke about her flashing her 'fandango' on stage. also great was when ross muttered, "i'd 'gaga' her'" in his boyish sense of humour...got to love it. 

martin clunes stole the show with his natural charm and witt, both on and off camera. 

all in all, a fun night!

marc jacobs set in the west village is so so cute. two stores on opposite sides of the road capture your attention as they are both filled with vegetation and greenery which seem to be bursting out. the small shops are quaint and perfect to stumble across when walking through the villages of new york

CLOSE UP

went to the MoMA in new york which i loved. this is a section of one of my favourites, by lee krasner. it has so much energy and the colours are so fun-this is what i love about modern art..

flipity flopoty

havaiana flip flops head for europe for a fun and colourful ad campaign. i love love love them, they are THE most comfy things for your feet in the summer! bring on the sun to bring them back to my feet!

impressive stores

the prada store in new york is so incredible, with a wooden slope not too dissimilar to a half pipe! with the garments on mannequins lined up on the middle, and on the upper levels, the whole store has a huge visual impact.

home

it has been a while since my last blog post, but alas, time has not been wasted! back from a trip to new york. i always love going away and exploring new cities, but there's something very satisfying about coming home too. the comforts of your own surroundings, especially your bedroom are pretty special.
