Latest Project!

Hello 

So as you know its my hand-in today for my Real Clothes Project - Soft Tailoring.

I AM DONE & FREE!

All finished and I am two and a half hours early bonus! Which means I can use the lovely iMacs at university! 

*Please someone buy me one*

So Here are some images of my work! 

The original research was about dark beauty, so I thought I didn't want to go too deep into this bit and started looking at Photographers which used quite a Gothic theme. Then I was thinking about how some of us think corsets are really pretty and feminine but then on the other hand they are quite dark in the sense of your bone structure will adapt and back in the day you didn't get the choice if you wanted to, everyone did! 

*Torture!*

Then we had our first Seminar on this brief which he went it to a very dark place of fashion, fashion photography. I did not enjoy this I found it very disturbing but I wanted to include a little bit in my sketch book! 

We had to pick six images that represented beauty in our eyes, mine are these 6. I have a cross between pure nature and landscapes with a cross of man made, with a sense of travel and sense of history. These images are very similar and all interlink to me! Two of my images are from a old shut down Mental Hospital, Which I find really pleasing to the eye with the harsh and soft lines.

*It was after I found the images that I realised what it was*

Zero, Maria Cornejo. 

We were giving a list of designers to choose from which would be who we was designer our 2015 AW Collection for. I loved Maria's work she is all about the pattern cutting which is what I am interested in, I feel like I could bring a lot to the brand which was exciting. I went on with mtg research by looking at loads of her collections old and new to really get a feel of her work. I looked into the website to find the price range I also looked at some "Real People" wearing her clothing. Then also some famous! 

Bearing in mind this is a soft tailoring project I looked at different designers that to tailoring in unique ways, I wanted to take a different approach, but keeping in with the soft tailoring. I filled a whole sketch book with different designers! 

So with my design process an important part was the soft and harsh lines from my images which I wanted to include, I traced over my images then applied people over the top to think about shapes and lines which really helped me. Taking on board Maria Cornejo's design work and inspiration I really wanted to think about the pattern cutting so from my final designs I picked four of the most difficult designs and made little paper versions! 

Maria Cornejo's also manipulates iPhone snaps and create prints which I really enjoy doing too. I have created a few as an example. In my 6 Outfit collection I didn't want to include any as I feel it would have been too much, but If I was able to do a bigger collection one or two would fit in well.

20th...

Hellooooo!!

(Baby Me)

So who ever knows me will know that its my 20th Birthday today :D 

As you know I am at University so when I received this Yesterday It was very hard to hold in my excitement in! 

Without having parents here stopping me or being with me while I opened it I don't no how I managed to wait till this morning! 

So When I Opened my box I was so shocked to see actual presents wrapped up! I thought It would be little bits but as a Pre birthday box (As I am celebrating with family next saturday!) I think I have been spoiled, Naughty Mum & Dad < Hope they read this! 

So after realising how many cards I actually had, I opened them before presents. Which way do you do? Presents or cards? I love cards, I think they are amazing with all the colours and all the pink of course! , and even the funny ones! Jacks mum bought me the Pug one, I love it, After my birthday I might even frame it, She really does no me too well! 

So then it was time to empty the content of my box and open it all, I love this wrapping paper! I love the cute little "Special Daughter" Me to You Bear! so cute and the birthday cake! How amazing is that! Perfect for one! 

Nawwww! 

So here is was I received! I love it all, I have a Jumper, a navy lace dress *Perfect for Saturday Night* and two long sleeved t-shirts! which are so comfy and cosy, I'll do some outfit posts with them very soon! 

Here are few other little bits! I have been wanting a wooden love heart like this for ages! 

*Excited Giggles!*

So after all that unwrapping and getting all excited while I was still in bed unfortunately as Im an adult and live away from home it was my job to tidy away the messy wrappers *Thank you Mum for doing this every year* Then it was time for a shower and head out! 

So for my birthday I decided to wear something simple and comfy! I wore my Levis with my new Jumper! 

Also this morning I managed to paint my nails as well! Very nice little pamper morning! 

Already to go out for Breakfast! 

So yes Jack knows how much I love a McDonalds Breakfast Meal and sent me a £5 to treat myself to one on my birthday morning, which to be honest is one of the best Birthday present I could ask for, I love them! 

So I know its my Birthday but I still have a hand in on Monday so couldn't really avoid going into Uni but wasn't there long and on a nice day like this who can knock anything! 

My Cake! 

So as its my birthday its ok to eat cake as lunch isn't it? 

Well too late already have and it was amazing! 

Thank you for reading! 

Love Jade.

Truro Shopping Haul

Heyy! 

So I went to Truro yesterday to get some Fabric samples but while I was there I needed to get make-up and couldn't help going into a couple of shops!

TopShop & Newlook were my two favourite shops yesterday which is odd for me as I can't normally find anything in either of them! I even tried a few bits on!

NEWLOOK

How cute is New Looks changing room hangers! And yes I did only try on stripes! 

Here is top Number 1 I loved how loose and baggy this was but when shoulders relaxed it came down to my trouser line!

This is a more of a structured one, the material was thicker so when on stayed in the same position didn't really move with you! But I still loved it! 

TOPSHOP

So I am pretty fussy with bikinis! specially when I am trying them on! but these two really caught my eye and I loved them! 

I didn't try either of these on, but I think I will defiantly have to go back to try them on for my holiday in July!

SUPERDRUG

This has to be the worst thing ever!

So a couple of days ago I run out of Foundation, Concealer and Powder all at the same. Which for me is quite unusual, I normally run out of one and then either wait or have to top up just one. 

So here is what I bought from Superdrug.

So here is TRESemme's breakage defence treatment, It is a conditioning treatment that you put in and leave for up 3-5 minutes. I know it is a defence and restructuring treatment but since I have bought it I have used it once, but then I thought my hair is very damaged so I am going to save this for after I have had it cut to keep it from breaking and splitting at the ends

Boring product, But just a simple deodorant this smells lush! 

So here are the main reasons I went to Superdrug,  I love Rimmel, I don't wear a lot and feel it just gives me a slight coverage to give me a little bit of confidence during the day. I feel this make-up lasts all day for me. I highly recommend I have been buying this for along as I remember.

(Come to think of it, I don't think I have every worn any other make-up)

So I hope you enjoyed this quick and affordable haul, It is deadline week so I am very busy so excuse the lack of posts. 

What are your favourite Superdrug buys? 

Thank you for reading. 

Love Jade.

Fresh Sheets Last Night!

Heyyy! 

So after such a busy day getting work done and flying around truro I decided to change my bedding! It was very much needed and who doesn't love fresh sheets! So this is some new bedding my nan got for me, It is very white which is scary as I do my make-up sitting on my bed and work on my bed, but there is something about white bedding that makes me feel light and airy? I don't know if you know what I mean but I cant wait to sleep in this!

So here is my new bedding!

So here is my pillow arrangement! 

Heart Pillow: Primark

Sew in Love: A christmas Pressent, Just ask and Ill try and find out for you if your interested! 

Pug Teddy: Build a bear! 

Pug Pillow: Tescos

So Yes I do own a Build a bear, and isn't it amazing! Being in my room on my own I do tend to talk to him! *Crazy* My boyfriend bought me this just before christmas and I love it! I can't wait to be able to have a really Pug one day but at the moment this one will have to do! 

So when I wrote this post last night my internet went down so was unable to share this with you! But Oh my god, I had the best sleep last night! white bedding is the best! 

Hope you enjoyed my post! 

Love Jade.

Shrove Tuesday

Hello! 

So as you most probably know it is Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) which to me is quite an important day, as I am not a big lover of Pancakes, but for some reason can't help but love them on Pancake day, So I have taken some pictures of our preparation and our final outcome. 

*Bare in mind please that this is the first ever making them without my mum*

So as you know this was my first time so, Yes I did need my mac for cooking instructions, now I do feel really stupid, They are so simple. 

(But of course it took a couple of times to get it right)

So as a treat I bought myself Nutella as its the best for pancakes instead of student value food! which now I will be eating a lot off all the time! 

So here is our first attempted. 

*Need I say anymore?*

Then here is when we was getting them right they are very yummy! 

So as tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, I have been trying to rack my brains of what to give up for lent. 

As a student I can't say any food as if I didn't eat all the rubbish I do I probably drop dress sizes so I decided I was going to choose for my Boyfriend and he chose for me. 

Jack will be giving up chocolate. As he has a very very very sweet tooth but I couldn't say all things sweet as that is very mean and I don't think I would be in his good books for a while! 

I am giving up, Tesco Values Meatballs. To me this will be hard as I love them, I easily have them once or twice a week as my dinner, which really isn't good for me but they are so yummy! But now I am going to have to find a replacement! 

What are you giving up for lent? 

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed your Pancakes! 

Love Jade.

How My March Started

Hello Again! 

How did you start March? 

Firstly I just want to say, How are we already in March? Is anyone else feeling this year is flying past them? 

I am very happy for it to be March even if it does feel like it has flown by, Because I will be turning 20 in exactly seven days, I can't wait! 

So to start this month of blogging I thought I would do a post on how I welcomed in the new month! 

Carys and I went out for a lovely cooked breakfast in Weather Spoons, was very nice to go out and have a casual Saturday morning around town for a change without rushing around doing work. 

I had a lovely Traditional Breakfast with a lovely Cuppa Tea! Was very delicious and ate it all up!

 

We did some shopping, Didn't get anything special, a new Fitted sheet, and stain remover, and went to super drug and topped up on make-up that was needed. 

The old American Sweet shop In Falmouth Town has a closing down sale so decided to treat myself to an amazing Chocolate Shake, I had a Jazzies one, Which was amazing! 

Then we decided as it wasn't to cold we would walk home along the sea front.

We had a very nice chilled out morning, Now I am at home about to crack on with my designing, as my hand in is ten days time! So major panic mode!
But on a brilliant cheery note, I SAW A PUG! While in town this morning I walked past a pug and stroked it, For any one who knows me knows I absolutely love pugs!

How is your first day of March are you doing much?

Thank you for reading.

Love Jade.
