My favourite book sore Borders went into administration and are closing down in England :-( it was my one stop shop for all my magazine needs.

I am still here in the land of bloging, I've just been super busy to write or post anything, I went on two holidays.

First I went Israel with the family for 10 days (amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!) then I went on a stay-cation with my friends to Centrer Parcs, so much fun memories especially us all dancing around the living room to Lady GaGa's bad romance. I have also got an internship for 3 months five days a week and I still have my part time just on weekends so i dont really have time to do anything but I am going to try to post some more stuff soon, :-)

WOW

So I know I am pretty late on this topic but I've just caught the Alexander mcQueen fashion show and OMG is all I have to say completely speechless. The shoes are insane, the models deserve gold medals for walking in them, besides the crazy shoes I do love the clothes the prints are beautiful.

One two Freddy's coming for you

When I was younger I loved the nightmare on Elm Streets series of films so you can image how I felt when I heard they were marking a re-make which is due out in 2010. The film is directed by Samuel Bayer and produced by Michael Bay who has directed such films as both the Transformers films (which I love) and produced other re-make such as Friday the 13th and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The role of Freddy will be played by Jackie Earle Haley who played Rorschach in the film Watchmen (he played the role very well) so I am looking forward to how he plays the role of Freddy. Can't wait for the film to come out :-)

Boots, Boots and more Boots

Yesterday's boots post got me going all boot crazy, so here are a selection of boots that have caught my eye. I'm looking to get a pair of tall boots, I really like the last pair ( Solea, Kurt Geiger)

For humans only

I went to see District 9 a few weeks ago and loved it, its refreshing to see a film with no big Hollywood actors. I really like the film marketing that was done.

These boots are made for walking

With winter fast approaching wearing flats and Converses just ain't doing it and it got me thinking, I need a pair of winter boots. I've never bought boots before Ipractically live in flats and Converses. So I visited River Island for a browse and saw these bad boys and know I had to have them.

Lula

After what seems like years since the last issue of lula came out, issue 9 has finally hit the shops. After two weeks of visiting to my local borders book store I finally got a copy :-)

For those of you that don't know Lula is for girls of the world who love fashion, music, art, & make believe. Lula is gentle, whimsical and ethereal in tone, mixing high fashion to fall in love with and interviews that feel like late night chats with people you wish you knew.

Birthday

It's my birthday today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Graduation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I graduated yesterday from university I am kind of sad its all over :-( but I've made some great friends along the way, its been a long three years but I've made it. Congratulations to all my LCC graduates. As one chapter ends another one opens and I am looking forward to what the future holds for me.

W&K Platform

Wieden + Kennedy are running a programme called platform running for six months for 12 creative mines starting in September. To be in a chance for a place you had to complete two projects, the first one was to think of something that gets on your nerves and come up a solution for it, the seconded was to make a video about yourself.


So above is my idea, what gets on my nerves is when people leave their newspapers on the tube, I always take my newspapers with me after my Journey, so I came up with the Ven-Cycler. The Ven-Cycler will allow you weigh your newspaper and the weight of your newspaper will be calculated into points which will be calculated into money off your travel.

I came up with this idea because travel in London is expensive and we are asked to recycler more so if there was a product to help both causes should be a good idea.

As I was going up the stair
I saw a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away

Peta

While at University in my 2ND year we had to come up with an idea for a charity, only using guerrilla advertising. I had the simple idea for Peta of having a person dress up as an animal with a humand skin wraped around them as a coat and them walking down the street.

Graduation Show

Today I went to my friend Gemma's graduation illustration show in Brick Lane. I had a good time looking at her work and also of the work for her fellow illustration class mates.

There were lots of pieces of work I really liked, here are some pictures of Gemma's work on show and also links to other illustrators that I also liked.





Some of the other illustrations I really liked were done by Julie Mackey and James Northcote. If you get the chance you must check out their blogs.

I love the new Gucci advert, its directed by Chris Cunningham, i think Its absolutely beautiful.

Ikea

In my first year of University we were given the brief to come up with an idea to get more women to shop at Ikea.

Here's the idea i came up with.
