Architecture Vs Colour from Signs

Using architecture for inspirational shapes and signage for colour in Bristol.

The key shapes used are taken from the steps at Bristol harbour side, deciding to use the bright colours from signs.

Some experimental techniques which will be used in my final design

Design ideas and development

Various textile techniques have been used on each triangle panel. These include Applique, Stitch and slash, also free machine embroidery sewing.

GUESS its DKNY!

Outlet shopping!! Its always the best as you get things cheaper than retail price, and sometimes even cheaper....for example BOXING DAY!! woopwoop.

I know its a while ago, but i have recently picked up my bags from my cousin as i went back home and it was just too much of a hassle carrying lots of bags back and forth. 

So here are my buys...

GUESS! It was also in a nude colour but my sister got the last one =( still a good design tho as it has 3 zips, therefore more places to hide things ^_^

Original price was £126.50, down to £63 and then a further discount to £46!!

LOVE this bag! original price £150 --> £99 --> £49.50

Love the colour! there was also turquoise blue but they didn't have a new one so got the red instead.

Original price £140 --> £89 --> £39.50

We didn't spend long in shops as we only had about 3 hours. The traffic getting there was ridiculously busy and was stuck in it for a good few hours. But hey we made it and i bagged some decent bags! ^_^

The only downside is a bag costing £135 at sale price by Gucci. I badly wanted it but needed a second opinion on it (i have no idea why) so i went back to the store and it stopped allowing people in, even though it closes in another 1.5 hours time! Quite disappointed but the outlet will still be there =D

Work, work, work it.... with shoes! ^_^

Shopping for shoes when shoe shopping wasn't exactly the plan in mind =P

I popped into Office after work and bagged some great bargains!! So much choice so decided to buy two pairs, both with complete different styles and occasions.

The first pair - These were on sale and cost me £18 with an extra 10% discount at the till *my lucky day* ^.^ With a wedge heel, they are so comfy, although they are a little tight at the width of the foot which i hope can stretch with wear.

The main reason for this buy is for work purposes in the office as wearing flats get boring..after all i am working for Jaeger...

The second purchase! The colour did it for me. The style of the trainer is not all that great compared to high top dunks which i would much prefer, however the texture of the trainer is very soft and have not come across this type of material on a pair of Nike's. The fit is good and is very comfortable, definitely can't go wrong with a pair of Nike's. Price - £20 on sale

My final buy of shoes were not bought from Office. I was walking around H&M with a hand full of garments to try on and walked past these beauties! Just the right size, just sitting in a random part of the store. 

Rubber wedge, water resistant outer fabric and fur lining. Another great pair for working in, especially going up and down 3 flights of stairs =P 

Price = £29.99 Full price

Have a lovely day
