Clobber

So this time last week me and my house mate / course mate rolled on down to Boscombe to have a day playing in Clobber, a vintage shop full of fantastic little bits and pieces. Our course Tutor had been contacted by the shop owner who asked if any of us Fashion Students would be interested in dressing his windows as he just didn't enjoy doing / didn't really know what he was doing. Obviously there was a fair few of us who jumped at the chance, so every two weeks a few of us are going to go down there to take turns in putting our ideas into the window displays. Me and Robyn (my house mate  hadn't really planned ahead and thought about what we were going to do because we just wanted to get in and have a look about to see what we could come up with. We did originally want to do something a little bit crazy and colourful but after meeting the shop owner ( he's a little bit scary) we decided to stick it safe and just go cute and kitsch for this first time. We decided to try and stick loosely to current trends, bringing in key colours and the ever popular Military style! Although we did play it quite safe I was really happy with the final result and so was the shop owner, although he said next time we should definitely just let loose and just go all out. Already looking forward to next time, watch this space for mine and Robyn's outburst, COMING SOON!

Coming Soon!

I really have been rubbish recently with my blogging, partly because I've been back and uni and party because I haven't really had anything exciting to blog about. BUT I have a few exciting things coming up with I will definitely be showing you all. My latest uni project is a street style report. I did a similar project on my foundation course and loved it! Getting to go out and photograph people and their individual style. I want to go to a few different locations to try make the most of it. My college is a pretty creative place so I think I will be able to find some quirky outfits and I also want to venture out into the 'clubbing scene' and see what people are wearing out and about at night! I then wanna do a little day trip into London, heading back to one of my favourite places, Brick Lane, where you are always guaranteed to find amazingly dressed people! So keep a look out for my street style photos, they will be up in a few weeks. 

NEXT

This bit I'm really excited about. One of my tutors was contacted by the owner of a great little vintage store asking if any of us would be interested in going in and dressing his window on a weekly basis as he really struggled with it. I didn't need to hear anymore! Being let loose in a vintage shop is literally like letting a child loose in a sweet shop for me! Scenes from 'The Sweetest Thing' movie montage come to mind... So next Monday me and 3 of my classmates get to go and play! I will be taking lots of photos so check back soon =D
