Blog Off!!

Well well well, looks like deadline day for PPRD is upon me.

You know what that means? My blog is being marked! Meaning maybe I won't be able to post for a weeks! :(

FACTS>

This blog is genius. It has genuinely helped me organise things better and the great thing about it is that it makes my crappy handwriting look all swish and cool. Two things which I am not. I am loving promoting myself (and at times dissin' myself) on this blog. I'm loving how it organises me. When it's all written down, for all to see, it's motivating and a true push in the right direction.

This blog has, undoubtedly helped me reflect and develop, which I'd say is the point isn't it??

The thought of being without it is v distressing.

So don't worry blog fans....

I'll be back!  

B&M baaaaaaabe

:D

Just came out of a an awesome lesson with Jo for Buying and Merchandising!

It was brilliant. We were learning about the calculations that trainee, assistant and senior buyers and merchandisers have to face every day. And I must say, I'm not feeling as OMG**PANICKY**OMG as I thought I would have. I'm not particularly good with numbers. I know I need to work on that. But now I know exactly what to perfect before I go out into the big wide world.

Lessons like today are what I came to the Arts Institute to do. To get real insights into what challenges that I am determined to face. 

Feeling really positive. One more thing.

Thanks Fda! xxxx

I <3 photo uploading....I'm getting pretty good at it, but whatever...

Now I have finally updated pictures from my toile making and important experimentation!

Oh and also might I add, the toile review yesterday was a GREAT SUCCESS!

Pat, Az and Jodie were all so helpful and came back with excellent feedback to help me move on.

I have decided to make some alterations on the skirt and the bodice involving some extra wiring and more eyelets......more on that story later.....

Confessions Of A Shopaholic......yeah, I went to see it....

And I'll tell you what....it was actually pretty good....




I don't wana sound like a bit of a moron, but despite being fun to watch the movie does have a worrying messaage which I could totally relate to!
The thrill of clothes shopping is seriously addictive and could effectively dent your entire life savings and/or paychecks.
But, Rebecca Bloomwood's story in this movie shows her trying to kick the habit cold turkey with some rather hideous talking manequins! All in all a very appropriate movie for this economic climate and for those haters who are slagging off the film, pipe down you anti-shoppers!!

Except...I will agree...the love story is total bilge!
