Skeleton shoes

So I have been super busy with uni at the moment, I have finally made my decisions where to go and what course to do! I'm going to be making shoes!! For this project just coming up ( final major project) I'm making shoes out of collections people have, so if you have any collections feel free to share !!

I have a slight obsession with skeletons and bones, you know by the antlers hanging on my wall ( check out the post about my jewellery hanger) anyway, so last week I have been super busy bleaching and cleaning bones of a fox, I didn't know what would come of it I just wanted his skull (sorry my collections aren't for the faint hearted) after hours of labour and hours of planning I created a skeleton shoe.

The skeleton shoe is made up of spine bones, hip bones, ribs, femurs, and the jaw bones of the fox, anyway I wanted to share the skeleton shoe with you, it's only a prototype so no wearing it ;) just a piece of artwork :)







Blue lipstick stargazer

Last week was the week of dress up, I really wanted to try hard, standard dressing up for me though, but I wanted to be something I hadn't been before. I picked a mermaid, god knows why but I thought I could pull it off! I actually made my own top, hopefully I'll get some pictures up soon, but what I really wanted to talk about was the blue lipstick I used.

I brought the stargazer blue lipstick on a whim just when I was buying some other colours I thought it would be cute. And OMG the colour is amazing! It's so vibrant and sort of metallic, but it goes on so easily, in the picture I'm wearing one swipe of the lipstick. It was so cheap and I was really pleased by the longevity of the product!

I have only worn this in unlicensed once before, but know keyshia Dior brought out coloured lipsticks like these and got away with wearing them out. What do you think ? :)

I'm in Leicester

Oh and it's so pretty!! Not really much to do but it's pretty, and my gawsh did I find the coolest shop on the planet or what!!

Check out www. Watchthisspaceboutique.co.uk

It was insane, the woman who runs it was very created and made a lot of the pieces herself and the other pieces were made from smaller businesses.

Below are some of the pictures around the store, if you're ever in Leicester I definitely recommend it! High quality leather and feathers and studs and headdresses etc etc etc gah just brilliant!!!





















The maxi skirt with converse

I have seen so many girls rock this look and I never thought it would work for me.

1. I have an addiction to platform shoes, I don't usually wear flats so was feeling out of my comfort zone.

2. Maxi skirts never fit how I want them to, I'm a tall 5 ft 9 and they never quite make the ground.

Regardless I saw the maxi skirt I wanted in primark, cute burgundy colour a slit side, a nice length, and only £8!! I couldn't resist!
And hey ho what do you know primark also did converse dupes!! And for £7! Perfect for those of you who are wary of this look and fancy trying it out on a budget.

I styled this maxi skirt with converse, a polo crop top, a statement necklace, a beanie and of course big hair! Tell me what you think :)





The free bag of Jasper Conran

The other day I got a phone call from a lady who worked at the secondary school I used to attend, my teacher was lovely and stayed in contact with lots of her ex pupils, I was a bit surprised to get a phone call from her but she explained to me one of her old pupils had got an internship with Jasper Conran and had loads of leftover dresses from samples and mock ups, she had kept them for so long in her wardrobe hoping one day to do something with them.

Then she had a clean out and decided to give the dresses to me after seeing the clothing business I have and maybe I could reconstruct them etc, so here's something I came up with using 2 of the dresses hope you like it, sorry about my hair and (non existent )makeup!


The top is a pretty corseted dress which went down just below the knee decorated in material leaves and flowers with a chiffon underlay. The bottom is a skirts made from different layers of thick netting and thin chiffon like material.
