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!

Jersey Royal <3
Result!
I am very happy to announce to everyone that will listen that i have just finished my jersey t-shirt and I am very proud at my outcome!I have been sticking to a very strict time plan at the moment. I've tried to push with my Lectra and jersey project, whilst planning my toile for CDF.
And I can report, so far so good!I struggled with the Kansia Machine (dun dun duuuuuun) and I had to unpick but beauty equals pain and all that!!
However, i feel that it wouldn't be right if my new post didn't have one low point/attack of paranoia.
The rib detailing on my neckline is towards the right seam instead f the left. I am ridiculously annoyed about this and I'm hoping that it won't muck up my whole t-shirt. But if it has to be altered....c'est la vie! :(
A picture is on its way, promise!
>>>>In other news, a successful trip to London (Berwick St)meant that the fabric sourcing for my 'cool new trainers dress' is done and dusted. I even managed to get through the whole day in the big smoke without an argument with someone on the tube! Score!

Phat feedback...
Big day yesterday!
We got our marks and feedback from our units we'd done last term and I'm delighted to say...........I'm doing good, yeah!
I had feedback from Pat about my Pattern Cutting and Construction (PCCP)unit. I got a 'very respectable grade' and I feel good about it. Of course there is always room for improvement, especially with me. The areas that I would need to focus on would be my sketches and the ordering of my folder.
As for Design I also am happy with my mark. Not that I aim, at this stage to persue desgning, I got some relevant feedback to help me in all areas. Focusing on more attention to detail in my desin work.

Research research research....BREAKTHROUGH!
After many many MANY dead ends with my reseach for the Sports V Fashion Project for FDP, I have FINALLY gotten somewhere.
I was looking into pushing the idea of trainers after being so inspired by them at the exhibition before Christams.
Anyway, I came across, REPETTO. A French company specialising in the design of ballet pumps.
Comme Les Garcons (founded by Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo) collaborated with Repetto and created ballet inspires dresses like these<<<<<
I definiately want to explore further into this!

Brrrrrr.......tutorials! :S
When we were given the project to think of our own philosophy, like the Shakers, I assumed it would be easy. Virtually a chance to play with what you believe in.
But I found the whole task quite strange. It was difficult to settle on a logical, beautiful philosophy.
After a thought process (which took longer than planned)I came up with the idea of comfort.
'You can only truly feel beautiful, when you are comfortable'.
I tried so hard with the project. I wanted it to be completely professional, much like the work I'd seen in the group critique.
Today was the tutorials with Sarah Lees and Sarah James.
I expained to them about my initaial problems with the philosophy and they commended me for questions and hard work.
From their advice I confidently know what i need to do to improve my work for January. I want to research more and more to get a more rounded view of my own philosophy.
This day, Monday 8th December, was the most beneficial days for my design work. I know what I need to do to improve.
See wasn't so bad after all eh??
