The 4 Major Trends for Dresses Spring / Summer 2011

It seems all heads were in sync whilst designing for this season, the past few seasons, since the recession struck, trends have not been so easy to identify but this year the job was, well, a piece of cake.


We have all sat in the bath tub pretending to be in a Sofia Coppola film which makes this trend a dream come true. Lux, Mary, Bonnie, Cecilia, Theresa; dress like your favourite Lisbon sister in innocent 70s style. Pastels, florals, whites and maxis are just some of the keys things to look for in your summer wardrobe, and if you wanted to go a step further you can even write Kevin on all your bras and panties, only to have your mum bleach them out of course.


So wearable its almost a second skin, all shades of nude were present on the catwalks for this season. Whether you are pale or tanned you will be able to find the right shade for you, but make sure it is floaty or simple, you don't want a body con to make you look naked when seen from far away. That would just be socially unacceptable.


Perfect for work wear, strip back to basics with a simple shift dress or maybe something immaculately tailored, but patterns and embellishments are strictly forbidden. Worth the investment since its becoming a classic, and you certainly won't mind wearing it again and again.


Just as you were starting to feel starved of true bold colour this trend hits the big time. Get Tangoed this season as orange was one of the hottest colours, along side reds and yellows. Or perhaps go Neon like Christopher Kane with a hot pink or green, but whatever your favourite rainbow colour, make sure it makes a statement!

I would really like to have that first dress;
the white lace details give it the ultimate femine & angelic vibe*

Jelly Fish / English Shiterature.

How awesome are these?!!! 
I saw them at the zoo and they were probably the best thing there. They just fascinate me! I took these photos with my digital camera and I think they turned out alright, well how could they not when the subject is sooo aweeesooomee!


I did 'auto colour correction' on photoshop with this one and it had a funky effect...
 

Not fashion related but meh. All in good time.
I bought new stuff the other day which I will post soon.
And I have an outfit post ready. The curtain I have in my room is ripping out my ceiling :| and thats what I use for my photos so I hope I can fix it. 

Also I am kinda busy at the moment since my English Lit teachers have decided the entire world revolves around english literature & that reading 25 million Jane Austen novels is going to get me a better grade and a job. No its not. No employee cares whether or not I can find sibilance in a poem. USELESS. 
I wish I did history, I like and am good at history and its applicable.
Old novels with the acception of anything by Lewis Caroll are boring. Besides I only need to know some quotes and techniques to get a decent grade. I have other more important subjects such as Business and Psychology to work for and UCA Epsom (my 1st choice uni I fell in love with) offered me a place on their Fashion Management course for only 220 points so I have lost motivation to get a decent grade in english, I simply dont need it. I will easily get 220 points. And exams are not for months so I don't understand why when I missed 1 lesson this morning because of the dentist its suddenely the end of the world and I am told missing 1 lesson is crucial and that I will die and go to hell because of it. <<<< HYPERBOLE!!!!! (yah, you dont care? thats my point! and that my freinds was a rhetorical question! look at me im so talented, and now rebelious not using capital letters. ohhhh!)
GRAAHHHH MUTHHH FUDGECAKES!
It's just irritating me to the MAX.

Sorry about the rant, I just had to get it all out of me.
I may explode, so if I suddenly stop posting for a long time, you know whats become of me.

Back with the goods.

Hello Hallo, Hullo, Bonjour, Hola, Howdy, Hi, Hey, Merhaba, Hej, Ahoj, Dia duit, Ciao, Sveiki, Witaj!

Im back, exams are over... for now.


So who watched Skins?
I personally thought it was a complete and utter car crash. The first 30 seconds of Misfits contains more excitement than that entire episode. The best bit was when the girl commited suicide. I basically slept through the rest. I think I am going to watch the next one with Emily and Naomi and if that still disappoints me I am going to stop watching it. Thursday nights I will get my Skins Series 1&2 DVDs out and watch an episode of that instead.
I think Chris should come back from the dead and haunt the new cast.
Now that I would watch.



The twins live near me actually. The one who plays Katie works in a nearby pub and she said her sister goes to a 'special school' in London. My friend Harry said he saw her in a parent and child group therapy meeting in Chase Farm Hospital so rumour on the street is that she is mentally unstable or an addict. They only get payed £6 an hour for skins. Thats my little bit of info for you :)

Ohhh and I had my UCA interview a week or so ago. I think it went ok but I still havent heard anything back so I am extremely nervous about that, checking it everyday lol.
I haven't heard anything from LCF atall yet. What does that even mean?
Have they read my application and decided not to act upon it yet, or not even read it atall?
And if they have read it then its good that they haven't said no yet, but then why not invite me for an interview yet? People (friend of a friend) with worse grades and experience than me have had interviews so that irritates me.

Oh its all very confusing but I have 2 conditional offers at Manchester Met and Birmingham City for a mere 240 points (thats nothing! how easy!).

Has anyone else applied to do anything fashion related at university? I am doing Fashion Management.
Cannot wait to escape to university and finally start living my life!
