Finally complete

You may remember that I posted a few weeks ago about a jacket that I was making inspired by The Kooples! We after completing my toile and starting in my final fabric on Monday it is finally complete!

I am pleased with the outcome and I love how the fabrics work together, if I was to do it again I may look at the fit more and also re-look at the shape of the collar but overall I am pleased with what I have been able to create! 

Co-ordinates my new love..

I just wanted to share with you a fairly recently new love of mine; co-ords!! The picture showing my first buy into this trend, a combination of simple silhouette, knitwear and monochrome colour palette with just a pop of colour makes this outfit perfect for me! 

The only problem I have found with this outfit is that due to it being knitted and my day consisting of a lot of sitting down it can cause a slight stretch of the fabric and a slightly saggy bum but it's such a beautiful outfit that people don't tend to notice!! 

Inspired By .......... The Kooples

As part of one of my briefs at college I have been asked to design and manufacture a top for The Kooples.  As one of my favourite parts of the course I am excited to see my garment made up in my final fabric, and with the deadline fast approaching it won't be too long until I can! My toile is so close to being finished (just the collar left to pattern and attach) and my fabric is bought and waiting, hopefully everything works out and I can share with you my excitement about the finished garment!

Are those trainers your wearing?!

Well anyone who knows me knows that I'm not exactly the most athletic person, and as for sports wear, well that's an area my wardrobe is lacking in! But as soon as I saw these trainers I fell in love, they are white (easily one of my favourite colours), comfy and probably most importantly they are a modern version of the high top combined with the increasing trend of cut out boots. 

Ohh and Merry Christmas! 

Feeling Inspired

After a long and let's say not so great week it's nice to be able to spend a spare 10mins looking through a few menswear books! 

My new found interest in menswear has taken me by surprise but I'm not complaining; feeling inspired. 

My Winter Essential

I saw this jacket/blazer/coat whatever it is classed as and I couldn't resist! Perfectly warm enough for the cold weather but thin enough to wear inside as well; exactly my kind of jacket! Plus surprisingly inexpensive for the quality! Definately one of my better recent buys, and perfect for the winter weather.
