Happy 1st Birthday Blog!

 

I really can't believe my little blog is celebrating it's first birthday!!! That has definitely been the fastest year of my life, and I have loved every minute of it. Writing this blog has been so much fun, I've combined my two passions of fashion and writing and created something I'm really proud of.  
Here's to many more years of blogging! 
Thank you Faye x

The Stament Ring vs The delicate Ring

Rings, Claire's Accessories

Recently I've started to stir more towards jewellery (still rocking the 5 gem earing) especially rings.
I don't have the most graceful hands but with a coat of pale nail colour and a beautiful collection of rings on my fingers they seem to look somewhat ( a little) better.
So today I've been mixing a statement piece with somewhat more delicate pieces. This little pinky ring is just gorgeous and so cute. I also love how these three different sized rings in different places work so well together. With my paler skin I prefer to stick to the same colour of silver but why not have fun and mix metals. They really have set today's outfit off, boots, ripped jeans, cosy jumper and over-sized parker, winter is well and truly here and I'm loving it.
Here's a few more jewellery gems I found online.

Christopher Kane s/s14

So many fashion shows so little time, or least that's how it felt this s/s14 season. That many shows in fact, many were missed. Including the amazing Christopher Kane.....

I've loved the designs of Christopher Kane since I ever set my eyes on them. Every season he offers something, unique, new and exciting. I love them that much I'm still dreaming of owning one of his liquid infused clutches which he showed back in Fall 11. 

This s/s14 was all about holographic, shoes, dresses and detailed inserts.....oh the details. So elegant yet they gave a garment that futuristic look and I loved, loved, loved the shoes. Keep your eyes peeled for them in this video. Enjoy 

Notes:
Dear Santa, I would love anything from the Christopher Kane s/s14 show.

The New Earing Trend

So it seems all the rage today to have many piercings in your ears, so far I've only dared to have the first two party because after that its cartilage and being a bit of a scaredy cat I'm afraid it will hurt. Anyway I found this amazing earing at Claire's that looks like five piercings in one....Cool. So now I get the look without the pain. 
They come in many colours, I opted for this rose gem edition but they're also avaliable in clear crystal and pearl. I just love to experiment! (Next stop nose piercing eek!)

Unidays

 

So its official I'm now a Fashion Buying student at the University of Huddersfield!
Its been a long summer so I've been eager for this week to come. My first week has involved introducing myself to the group something I've always hated. I'm not great at speaking in confined spaces (at least not on my first day). Next up library induction, you all know how much I love the library and I have to say the fashion floor is even bigger and better than at College (they have back issues of Vogue all the way to the 1920's). 
Wednesday involved a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester to research texture, shape, print and colour ready for my first assignment, creating a garment out of non traditional materials. Ideas so far include seal-able bags with food colouring and lots of leaflets from freshers fair...should be fun. The rest of the week involved more inductions, canteen food and a trip round Huddersfield checking out Byram Arcade a cute shopping arcade filled with arty shops and vintage boutiques. 
So far I'm loving my new place of study bring on week two.....
