DIY Fur Trim Video

It's Autumn and fur is back!

All the shops are full of fur and fur trimmed clothing for an outrageous amount of money - I decided to do it myself.

You can use anything that may need updating in your wardrobe but I bought a top and skirt from BooHoo and customised ( I bought this top and this skirt).

If you want the clothing to last I suggest going around the glued on fur and stitching it on to add more support - I would also suggest hand washing over the machine.

Franks, Until Next Year.

Franks, Until Next Year.

Franks bar has been a summer institution since swooping around Camberwell, carrying sketchbooks and paint and this year was no different.

Summers evening spent drinking cocktails, on top of a car park roof with friends and the whole of the London skyline right in front of your eyes is just perfect. Sadly today is the day I have to say goodbye to Franks until the sun shows its face again (hopefully) next summer... I now need to find some interesting indoor activities to keep me going through the winter months - I hear the mulled wine whispering my name.

The day my skirt fell off.

The day my skirt fell off.

Yes you read it right, my skirt fell off.... in public. This skirt has been waiting patiently in my wardrobe since I bought it in the Topshop sale last year, I gave it a little nip and tuck (far too long... what?) to make it wearable and how does it repay me? by reducing me, ultimately to a flasher. Thank god for thick tights (cheers Company) As you may be able  to tell from these photos, I turn into the most awkward woman when I'm having my photo taken despite my best efforts.

My style of late (in the words of my boyfriend) seems to be '1940's housewife' and I think I'm ok with that. I spent the rest of the day grasping my skirt to avoid another reveal, listening to a group of creatives talk about 'Creative Colloboration' and of course, drinking cider.

In other shocking news, today is the first time watching 'Deep Impact'. Shame on me. Although in my defence when it comes to world ending disaster movies I am more of an 'Armageddon', 'Independence Day' kind of girl.

Most awkward woman.

Back in London, prancing around in the leaves. I took a break from job hunting this weekend to drink cider, wander around exhibitions, watch shit TV and generally enjoy a bit of banter with a few ace people. I discovered this gem of a coat at a pop up vintage stall in Hackney when Autumn was a mere glint in my Summer engrossed eye.

I have been splitting my time between job hunting and promoting my illustrated self to the big bad world. I have just sent out my first set of promotional material for halloween so I am keeping everything possible crossed that something (anything) will come from it. I know its a long, arduous process so I am trying to prepare myself for devastation. Ha!
