Fratellis. Fashion. Same thing

I haven't posted on this seasons trends yet, nor have I my highlights of London fashion week, not to mention the other fashion weeks! But I have been overwhelmed by all this and want to give it the attention it deserves!
 I just HAD to post about THE FRATELLIS! Yes they are not directly fashion related but everything that interests a designer effects their work. Last night I took my Dad as a birthday present to him ... but obviously it was as much a treat for me as for him! We have listened to this band's music for years and had always wanted to see them. It was well worth the wait!!!
Dad and I are in agreement that... dare we say it ...they were the best live music act we've ever seen!!!
No fancy props. No running about. Just pure music talent....I couldn't keep my attention off the band(.. admittedly partly due to the looks and charm of Jon Fratelli )! The small venue was a perfect for the show and the atmosphere was fabulous. That kind of experience is definitely inspirational to my designing !
Its definitely worth checking out The Fratellis website as is it Jon Fratellis!

My brand recognised in Starbucks!

Those who know me personally will know of my fetish... ok!ok! addiction, to coffee.
 There are many many other brands out there but today I chose to take my business to Starbucks
http://starbucks.co.uk/
(...even though today was the day I'm meant to be giving coffee up haha!) ..I did actually go for a coffee free, vanilla frappe  ( but I have had a coffee today!)...
What made my drink even better - above my name was my signiture flower logo ..recognised, whoop whoop, haha !

P.S. Clearly the couple in the background.. and the pigeon were fighting to get to me for my autograph. No fighting please people, Jessica Jasmine has time for everyone haha!

I have just come back from a great weekend in London with my friend. We've had a jam packed weekend, from seeing the Paralympics to shopping (of course), it has all been fantastic! With the Mayor's Themes Festival on on top of it all I took the oppertunity to get some of my work out there in the fashion capital!

I'm Different Get Over it top with my new friend. I think we make a great team!

STELLA&ALF

I have been a very lucky girl with my work experience this summer as earlier mentioned Henry Hunt was a fantastic experience and now I am currently doing some work experience with the up and coming  superb brand STELLA&ALF.

http://stellaandalf.blogspot.co.uk/

I am so so so excited about this brand and can not wait for its launch early in the New Year. It's so great to be part of such a busy, exciting and monumental time for STELLA&ALF, and lovely to see just how enthusiastic the founders Paris Hodson and Charlotte Hay are about it too. These two ladies have been an absolute pleasure to try and assist these past few days. The atmosphere of the office is incredibly bright and bubbly and I am so thankful to have been allowed to continue gaining experience from the very very talented pair in the future.

The ethos of the brand is as admirable as Charlotte and Paris themselves, check out their blog to read more about it ...and keep your eyes pealed for the brand's movements  as I'm sure EVERYONE will love the collection ( ,that's part of the aim!)...I'm already making wardrobe space for it all!

Thank you STELLA&ALF for teaching me so much and for the experience it has been and I'm sure will continue to be fab!

P.S. like them on facebook to ensure of updates!!!
