What I've been up to...

So kinda the reason why I've been a bad blogger is because I have been putting most of my time in to my uni projects... I get quite a few emails and questions about my course and what it is about so I thought a few words on it could be in place.. I am on my 2nd year on a fashion design and marketing degree at london college of fashion. It is a very commercial degree where you learn to work on design development & construction supported by marketing reports, I would say LCF is quite a business driven university, especially journalism and PR are know to be very good degrees, if you want to do more art based design and think about launching your own collections, I would recommend central saint martins.

I designed and made this dress as part of my latest project, the brief was to design something in jersey, sportswear or inspired by. The whole concept started from vintage tennis clothing so countless sketches and developments later this dress was what I decided to make.. there is a lot of work - both written and physical that needs to be put in to the projects, but I am not going to bore you with that now..

so yeah.. that's pretty much my last few months.. I now have april off before I start my final project.. and instead of staying in london to sort out important things, catch up and so, I am going to morocco for a month!! yeah insane, but soooo exciting

so I'll try my best to make up for my lack of posts with some 'chiffondressinthewindonadesert' photos

I'm going to miss walking around the city..

Couple of funny facts about me:

I hate having my hair up due to my moon face.

I tend to have my mouth opened all the time which once resulted in me swallowing a fly that flew inside of my mouth while biking down a hill.

I eat more than my boyfriend and as much as my 200 lbs 6'3 Dad

90% of the things I buy lately are from online. I'm addicted to online shopping

Hey... finally I feel like I have my life back, handed my uni project in on monday and then slept for 18 hours. I sound like a broken record, but maybe now I finally have some time to catch up again..

as you may have noticed I have been quite dedicated to wearing acne lately.. this shirt was one of the gems I picked up from from acne archive in stockholm

thanks for all the supportive comments

House of Dusty Pink

Pink is indeed no doubt a feminine color and oftentimes when used in an interior it either looks too childlike or Barbie-like. However, this Madrid house designed by Luis Puerta begs to differ. The pink mixed with neutral hues and pops of turquoise seem to create a calm and sophisticated living space.
