Toon Today Toon Tonight

So I'm coming to the end of my eventful, as always weekend in Newcastle. 

Eat, sleep rave repeat is perhaps the best way to describe it. Well I couldn't hack repeating the rave! Due to that I didn't quite get to appreciate the fabulous Quilliams as I had hoped, but l will return to that terrific tea rooms! 

The Lang Gallery featured some fabulous work which will aid my current Uni project. 

Seeing some super friends also surpassed expectations. 

 

Today my boyfriend and I had our monthly trip to the quayside market and Great Coffee. After an ace white hot chocolate we had to trek through a storm of rain, sleet and snow. Did it put a damper on my visit? Not at all. Whether we make it to our planned meal tonight or have takeaway we will be happy in the company we love.

P I wanted to prove through this that it is the small things in life which make time special. 

I also wanted to show to people of the world that appearance isn't what counts either. We all have our bad hair days. We all have to face the weather in torrential conditions. But whether we share these good and not so fun times with those we love and respect definitely is far more important! 

Album of Memories

Sorting through my belongings before I fly off to a different country was somewhat like a time hop. 

One of my favourite findings was my first film camera. Boots make, ocean themed. With a large octopus covering the camera, and a cute case, I couldn't help but smile when coming across it once more. 

There is something about the past that is so fresh, so rejuvenating. A definite inspiration for future designs as nostalgia is a big theme for future trends. 

Blue Shoes

Pattern, blue tones and vintage status are three elements that I particularly like in clothing items.

Hemswell antiques centre introduced me to these beauties. For just £2.00, safe to say this is one of my most successful  purchases. Not only are these heels fabulous footwear, they are a big inspiration to me and my design work. 

Community Car- Crazy

This article by likes.com definitely caught my attention and made me smile! 

This man put a sign outside his house asking people to decorate his van.

The community came together and produced this crazy, fantastic and intricate peice of art! Doodles definitely do look brilliant in bulk! 

Pattern and Texture

Today whilst clearing out my room I found two items that had been lost at the bottom of a pile of junk. 

To me, an excitable designer, this was very exciting as I had forgotten about the patterns and textures involved in these items. These elements along with their colour could prove to be very inspirational to me. 

Being enthused by a mere product is a hard thing to explain, but they trigger memories to come back to me, which also regenerates design drive. 

Welcome to the head of a crazy designer! 

Fresh Flowers to Improve the Mood

Today a beautiful surprise arrived at my door. 

I have never  bought flowers by a guy before, so this special package meant more to me than most can imagine. 

At a time when I needed a little pickup my boyfriend knew what to do. 

I am not particularly materialistic, but to have these fresh beauties at the bottom of the stairs to see when I set foot down stairs each morning will start the day brilliantly. Accompanied by a little teddy for me to take to New York this was really the most romantic and thoughtful thing I could have hoped for. 

Dressing dogs

A controversial subject to say the least. 

Should dogs be dressed?

These two yorkies are usually bare backed. However they dress up for special occasions. 

The owners do not want them to be doggy dolls or carried around in handbags, but the dogs do not seem to mind being clothed for occasions and it's a bit of fun isn't it? 

Is if fashionable or not? That is another question that can be argued profusely.

At the end of it all as long as the petsaren't  harmed it's down to the individual owners.
