confession of a severe procrastinator....

so today was the last day before folio hand in and what did i spend it doing?

watching an entire series of waterloo road, 

knowing that its 1.33 in the morning and i still have a ton of work to do before my deadline in 8 hours. ive realised that everything i ever do is a total half assed attempt and i never really put one hundred percent in.

im happy with just a pass and i dont really give a shit if i dont get A’s or whatever 

probably should give a shit.

….but im so fucking lazy

 …………………………………ahhhh what the fuck?……….

Havent posted in a while  but that may be due to my pending move to Newcastle, very scared about it but i think it will be fine, this feels so different from my move from edinburgh to dundee,  probably because its to another country ! just been going mad trying to sort out stuff for it, stressing loads cos ive got a big workload to do at uni before i can even think about it , on the plus side these photos were taken when i was down there last admiring the great array of shops ( vivienne westwood). youll understand if youve ever been to dundee that this calibre of shop is not readily available haha....see you on the flipside <3

The Dundream is coming to an end .......

So I am now finished first year! which is pretty crazy, been in dundee almost a year now and loved every minute of it. here are the final photos for my month long textile project based on punk and vintage.

I wanted to bring back super customisation in a way that people nowadays never really bother with. In the seventies people were more skilled on a sewing machine and actually gave a shit about not becoming a sheep in society and nipping into primark for convenience and getting whatever everyone else was getting that season. 

My skirt and shirt outfit was inspired by maggies farm in dundee and shiteshirts online and is made up of different panels of various fabrics and patterns.

This is the last design work I will do in Dundee……………Hello Newcastle !!

Finally , a topman collection that doesnt make men look like dick schoolboys.

The topman AAA camden '78 collction takes us back to the times of sid vicious, that guy from the sex pistols.
Thank god...Punk has been dead for too long and  its about time it gave the teddy boy some competition. plus the fact there is now the prospect of our men looking like the original rebellers..yumm.

Get your tie dye on for the summer !!

My year..

So I'm 18, I always wanted to be an artist when I was younger, all the way through school, It changed from art teacher, painter, designer, and eventually fashion design, little did I know , it's actually kinda hard to get into art college. I intended to go to college in Edinburgh for a year to then move onto Northumbria school of design to study fashion thereafter.
It didn't work like that... last minute I was offered a place at art college in Dundee and I took it.. looking back I only really wanted to please my parents.
I have now been in Dundee for almost a year, at first I hated it, wanted to drop out in the first semester but the people I met here were keeping my morale high. There was something about these guys that made me think it was all going to be alright.. back in january I applied for a place at Northumbria, it was a bit of a longshot and I presumed I would never get in but as it was growing closer to the end o the year I wasn't bothered about that , I figured I was happy enough in Dundee.
A week ago I found out I got in. I accepted the place but as it grows closer and closer I have to face the prospect of leaving behind another set of friends just like I did last year.
It's heartbreaking and I keep thinking am I making a big mistake?

insight..

This is my first time blogging,
to be honest, I don't really have a clue why people would want to read what I have to say but I want to say I started somewhere.
I want to be a designer, that is the only thing i have ever wanted to do. I will try and post some stuff on how to customise clothes etc, a little bit about music and inspirations, my interests and what's going on in an around Scotland ( while I am still here ).
Moving to Newcastle soon.. bring on the summer.:)
