CATH KIDSTON charity event

On Tuesday myself and My friend went to the Cath Kidston charity event supporting Marie Claire Cancer Charity.

It was an exciting event to say the least we were like children in candy shop, with constant grins and rosy checks. Spending nearly two hours deeply indulged in floral patterns, glittery strawberrys, and the cutest of primary shades. 

The representative from Marie Claire says that the whole night raised at least two nights worth of care for someone, through the ticket prices alone. Money well spent if you ask me. 

To create this wondrous event Cath Kidston teamed up with "the marvelous tea and dance company" to help create a lovely evening had by all.

Indesign

Through out my placement and numerous interviews I have come to realise that Indesign is a widely used tool within industry  however we are not taught to use it within uni. 

I have recently been using Indesign to create flyers and designs through my placement, helping promote our sales by making an online invitation for key customers. 

This is my final result after a few attempts of tweaking to get everything as perfect as possible.

 By all means please go check out the sale. 

Placement update.

I have almost been at my placement for 2 months now it has flown by. I am working with a high end jewellery designer.

I think I found a new passion for jewellery unfortunately my loves are far to expensive for me to afford at the minute. Including these little gems.

"Double double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble"

Hello.... sorry its been so long.

I'm currently staying on my own in Leeds, although I have to admit silly amounts of nothing to do on my days off, due to sorting out housing and job/placement arrangements. I have to admit I am falling in love with this city.

I certainly think city living is in my blood, I cant help but feel at home commuting to my placement, which is a feeling that has never happened before sadly. I am even starting to recognize the people on my everyday journey. When I give up my commute and live closer to my placement these faces will certainly be missed.

I am using my dad's mac as my laptop is dying a death, RIP. However whilst browsing his music collection it become more and more apparent how musical my upbringing has been. I've spend my day of discovering Motown classics and found a new guilty pleasure in the Eagles amongst other which are far to cheesy to name in public they most certainly are guilty pleasures.

summer 2010 - Overview.

This summer it seem's tribal chic is sweeping all areas of the market this summer, from the vibrant colours sweeping the fashion industry to bold colours within our interiors. The bold colours are everywhere from our summer wardrobes to even our summer movies. With the Sex and the City girl's jetting off to Abu Dhabi where the mocorrcan colour palettes can't help but spice up our summers.

I love thiss

Rob ryan fish eye camera not only does it look pretty , its also a fish eye. Saving my pennies :)

haus of gaga at river island.

The haus of gaga have teamed up with River Island and come up with some pretty cute pieces for our summer wardrodes.
The haus of gaga is the creative team behind lady gaga, making her globally marketable. The haus of gaga create clothing, "disco sticks" and ipod glasses as well as some of the things you see through out some of her videos.
Here's a sneaky peak at some of the item that are now in river island stores across the country, bring a high street touch to gaga herself.




Not only does the lady herself provide us with numberous summer hits she's also making headphones so while were practicising her dance moves we can listen in style. The haus of gagah have also teamed up with beats by Dr dre himself and monster cable to create a range of "heartbeats" head phones.


It seems Gaga is definately providing her army of little monsters with a few treats this spring/summer.
