Another New Layout?

I spoil you guys I really do! My blogs got another new look, well kind of its a lot more techy now! You can see theres links to my twitter and instagram which you can feel free to follow. My instagram is private but that is more because of avoiding spam or creepy people( ps only follow if your not creepy) Ive also updated my 'about me section' I really couldn't stand how it looked before, so finally figured out how to change it! Maybe let me know what you think? I'd love to give advice on how I did it so ask away!

Thanks for viewing lovelies!xo

The Fashion Sketchpad

I have something really cool to show you which I've had a while but never posted before, sounds boring to some but its a sketch book. Not an ordinary sketch book though one specifically designed for designing clothes. It has some pages in the front some explanation pages, a 'garment encyclopaedia', 'textile glossary', 'industry terms',  recommended reading sites and the rest is filled with 420 croquis. Another fabulous thing about it is when you photograph or scan your designs the body outlines disappear! This amazing book was created by www.thefashionsketchpad.com and you can get it on amazon for under £10! Which its definitely worth! I got mine as a present from a lovely lady called Alison.

Here's some photos!

The front is simple with little shiny silver dots all over and a 'designs by:' space for your name

The image below will take you to the book on amazon.

Godmother's Birthday.

So yesterday was my Godmothers birthday party, we had a lovely afternoon eating homemade bread and drinking vodka cocktails. For her little present from me I made her some bunting just 3 double sided triangles on ribbon, she's not one for bright colours or anything too fussy. So I used a lovely grey fabric that I got from ikea a while ago. (made a top with it, shown here) I was quite happy with it even if I did have a little battle with my sewing machine! But she loved it, here's some photos of the finished product! 

 

 

Also here's a cheeky shot of what I wore yesterday, wore my Tokyo Doll dress for the first time! Got it last year but never worn it, has a gorgeous open back and is about mid shin length.

Favourite eyeliners!

I love a good eyeliner pen as I have eyeliner flicks most days, I cant use liquid as I get in too much of a mess but a good pen is essential to me! Recently I've started searching for just the right one, I usually use Collection 200 EXTREME liner which is quite thick, I have lots of these as they're cheap and are easy to use.


Collection 2000 EXTREME liner - £2.99

But earlier this year after a long time of wanting and dreaming I bought the YSL shocking liner (I got it half price and duty free!) it is amazing! It goes on a great black and has a long tip which makes thin lines, yet sometimes it is difficult to use. Also in the photo below is Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner, which is very good in comparison to the YSL liner. Its tip is slightly shorter but makes a great high street comparison.

Maybelline Master Precise- £5.99
YSL Shocking False Lash Effect Eyeliner - £24

Here's a comparison of tips for the high street banded eyeliners.
