There's no time like the present.

You don't even have to say it. I know I've been slacking majorly on this blog! I have a strange few days and am so exhausted from work and college and more work, its all caught up with me to be frank. I've just started a new sketchbook as I've now changed my whole concept for my Final Major Project. My theme is hunting, i gathered i should do something different as everyone else in my class seems to have the same sort of idea (no offence guys), so i actually thought to myself "How would you survive, in an apocalyptic disaster?" i mean you'd need to eat wouldn't you so, i thought about hunting, i researched the things that they wear and turns out its pretty trendy stuff (sounded like my mom there! woah!) Using my Barbour coat also as inspiration, I've really enjoyed researching for my new idea. I'm trying to scan some images of my sketchbook to show you, but my scanners playing up so when I've sorted that out i will post some design idea's too!
To be honest i haven't been up too much, just work and college, Topshop have launched their new make up, i think it hit stores yesterday, so be sure to pop in! with every purchase of make up you get a free cute canvas bag but that's if they have any left! I'm not looking forward to my early shift on Saturday, i can just see it now, loads of 12 year old girls trying on make up and then misplacing it on the floor somehow it goes everywhere! joy oh joy! its uniform this month too! i know most of you guys would be like why the hell are you complaining its Topshop! but so far I've only found one item that i like and even then I'm having second thoughts?! so if anyone See's anything that would be suitable be sure to let me know!
Yesterday i was feeling pretty low, never the less I'm so grateful i have my friend Sian to knock some sense into me, she's the best at cheering me up. We went for tea at Starbucks and then decided the only thing that would make me feel better was to buy something!
God it sure did work, we headed down to COW on Digbeth before it closed and i managed to grab some goodies £8 suede leather top (beauty) £14 leather gladiators (so comfortable) and a men's shirt £3, so to me i reckon i had a pretty good day.
I'll post some pictures up of the new possession's and sketchbook, over the weekend, i know it sucks that I'm being so lazy but I've been a busy girl ;) If your not busy though you should check out ELLE photographer Andrew Woffinden, His photo's have been inspiring me a lot with this new project.
