Advice from Vice

This article is definitely worth a read. It shows that anything can be fashion, anything can be an inspiration, anything can make you. 

As I look to starting my new project brief in the New Year, I am becoming more aware of how to capture Street style and what exactly it is. The answer is: its anything. Anything people where which can influence trend.

Melt in mouth, mouthwatering marvels

So my Grandma and I did a trade of Christmas gifts of the sweet kind. And what a sawwwweeeeeet swap it was. 
These Sea Salt and Butterscotch, Chocolate Truffles by Monty Bojangles are exactly what it says on the box "heaven". 
I'm not sure if I'm pleased to discover these truffle treats or not as I've nearly finished the entire box already!

Music as a Muse

Never really a fan of musicals, today the tables turned. As my Mum and Grandma settled down for a Boxing Day afternoon infront of the box to watch Singing in the Rain, I wasn't best pleased at the prospect of having to endure another musical. However, I found the whole thing rather inspirational beacuse of the fantastic costumes.
I intend to draw those that most inspire me and take influence from them in my design work.

Competition Christmas

Yet again my posting persistence has failed me and Uni work has been my priority. 
But what time is better to blog than just after the Queens speech on CHRISTMAS day. 

Despite nearing 20, I often find my inner child and today is definitely no exception! 
Food and presents may seem to be the focus of this festive day but to me spending time with family and loved ones is key. 
It is safe to say I've been spoilt today, the whole household has, but ironically we've prehaps had the most fun with possibly the cheapest gifts.
Who doesn't get excited by giant pipe cleaners hey!?Haha!  
A creative competition to concoct a creature occupied us emensly.
Below are my entries, can you guess what they are?! Haha! 
The best part however was the laughs and smiles it brought to all.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas surrounded by fabulous people!
