Why we should all love Paramore

I've been listening to a lot of music whilst doing work this week. I was listening to Paramore this afternoon and watched the video to 'the only exception'.



I love Hayley Williams' style, it's a mixture of tomboy with girly and also has a punk twist, and it works really well. Her style in B.O.B's 'airplanes' video is great as well.

I'm so glad they didn't split up, can't wait to see them in November.

My new favourite photographer

I stumbled across Tim Walker's photos today whilst doing some researching. I've seen some of his stuff before but haven't looked much into him. But I thought these photos were amazing. I especially like the dresses one below.

HOORAY!!!

This is a well deserved celebration for the new trends of Autumn. I personally love them! Simple as. Let me go into more detail:

1. Teal - Teal is going to be a big colour in Autumn/Winter this year. My friend, who's a big fan of teal, sent this reply when I told her it was coming back into fashion: 'Flipping amazing! I'm well prepared.' We rejoice for this wondrous colour.

2. Knitted Cardigans - I love the Dior cream cardigan with light blue ribbons weaved through it. But seen as I can't afford to buy designer, I will be making my own version. Cute chunky, ribbon adorned cardigans = yes please!

3. Skater skirts - This style of skirt, which is pleated and worn high on the hips, is cute and girly. But worn with leggings or thick tights and pumps it gives it a bit of a tomboy edge. It's definately going to be my style this autumn.

Hoorah for clothes!!

As I was in a department store the other day I came across this pyjama top. At first, I found it quite funny that they have made such a obvious grammatic mistake, but the more i thought about it the more I got annoyed. When I tell people that I study fashion design, a few people have often given me certain looks and are quick to judge that I must not be that clever, this is because they assume that people who study this subject only do it because they 'like clothes' or 'like shopping'. So for a top that manages to go from designing, through to manufacture and finally appearing in shops, really doesn't do us any favours.

James Corden and Patrick Stewart

Over the past week I have been hearing a lot about James Corden and Patrick Stewart's bust-up at the Glamour awards, so wehen I had the chance I went and looked at it on Youtube. I couldn't believe the way Patrick Stewart behaved. He was so rude to James Corden and just seemed to make the whole of the audience cringe. Apparently, Corden had made a joke about Stewart earlier on, but it was just meant to be a joke, Stewart's jokes seemed to be a lot more truthful and intended to be hurtful. What struck me the most was how much it reminded me of being at school and university. Being on a fashion course, one of the bitchiest around, I constantly have people sneering at me and no doubt saying things behind my back. I often exclaim to my friend, 'why do people have the right to judge and say things about you, when they don't even know you?!' I'm sure from time to time we think certain things about people we see in the streets, but I try to stick to the idea that if you wouldn't say it to their face or to someone who knows them, then you shouldn't really be saying it at all. Sometimes this doesn't always work out, especially when I get annoyed or just fed up, but I try my best. I can't believe that someone like Patrick Stewart, who is a well-established actor behaved this way in the public. Fair enough, Corden answered back which probably made things worse, but I would love know what was going through Stewart's head at the time.

Sex and the City

Yes, I went to see Sex and the City today, primarily to see the outfits, they were amazing! I love how extravagant and weird they all are. My favourite had to be Carrie's huge lilac skirt when she's in the market, I loved how big and voluminous it was!
