My Go To Summer Heels

Hello Hello Hello! Today I thought I would share with you my go to Summer heels e.g the heels I will be wearing to every party in Summer as I can't afford loads of Summer heels. Sad face. So I was on the hunt for the perfect pair of Summer shoes, I wanted something that could be worn with a range of different outfits but at the same time had that Summer party vibe to them. I also really wanted white ridged sole heels as they are everywhere at the moment and I adore them. While on instagram I stumbled across an account called Public Desire which had gorgeous shoes. I followed the link to a website called My1stWish and found these beauties :
Lana Nude Beige Platform High Heels Shoes
I am in LOVE! They are just so beautiful. They are excellent quality, and even though the heel in 5.1" and the platform is 1.7" they are comfy and not hard to walk in. Believe me if I say they are easy to walk in they are because I am the queen of not being able to walk in heels. I am so happy I found this site as it doesn't just do great heels but cute flats as well. The nude and the white work well together and I feel I could wear these with loads of different outfits. Money well spent in my opinion!

Away With The Faeries

I have recently finished my Textiles Coursework, which took a lot of blood, sweat and tears (each of these are literal, I cut my arm with a hand-sewing needle and at times I was reduced to tears when I thought I wouldn't finish!!!) However all of this was worth it as I am so happy with the result. Don't take this in the wrong way as I am not trying to brag but I am just proud of myself for creating a garment that I know I wouldn't have been able to create a year ago. I feel this is a real achievement, obviously it's no way perfect and not everyone's cup of tea but I've never made anything as hard as this before! I love making garments and loved making this dress, which is why I thought I would share it with you.

For the coursework we had to create a design brief and mine was to create a prom dress inspired by the character of Titania from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Titania is the queen of the fairies and this brief was basically an excuse for me to create a fairy dress! I just wanted to make something that a fairy princess would wear. So without further ado hear are some photos of my dress:

I'd love to know what you think of the dress. Have any other of you been doing textiles coursework?

How do I begin?

I've been trying to think of something fun and interesting to say in this first post but I have absolutely not idea, so I'll just keep it simple. I just wanted to write a little introduction to my blog and what I want to do with it. I've been contemplating creating a blog for a long time now but have always put it off until I decided that I should just do it! The idea is for this to be a style blog however it may have a few lifestyle posts. I hope that you all enjoy what I post and thank you so much for taking the time to view my blog! I'm so new to this and would love any comments on how I can improve my posts or what you guys would like to see from me.
