My Perfect Excuse!

Hey beautiful, so I realise that a may have been neglecting my little fledgeling of a blog just a tad recently. Well, I know what you're thinking... She's going to come up with some lame excuse like she's had a monster cold or she's been too busy collecting rocks and sipping tequila- well no, this time I do have a pretty, perfect excuse!

So... You guys may or may not know I am studying fashion and textiles for GCSE and due to serious illness I had a lot of catching up to do to get all my coursework done AND make a dress before the deadline put in place by the exam board. Well, it wasn't easy and I had to use a lot of will-power, late nights and determination to get me through it all but it's done! Every single last research, analysis and evaluation piece is finito and so is my dress and I have to say though it was a struggle and I was pushed for time I have thoroughly enjoyed the process and can't wait until I start my A-levels- Hopefully leading to  me getting out there and doing it in the real world! However, that's a looooong time from now!

Anyway, as I have been neglecting all you beautiful girls and boys I thought it was only fair if you decide if my selfish neglect was worth it!

My dress is inspired by the Parisian culture- mostly the Moulin Rouge and the hand embroidery is inspired by the structure of the Eiffel Tower! So tell me what you think of - 'Fierce French Maiden'!

...and after a long process or researching further, adjusting and modifying

THE FINAL PRODUCT  ♥†

So as you can see I decided to have a theme to my photo  shoot, where I was a high way woman, with a (FAKE) gun! If I'm totally honest this was my least favourite part- I love setting up photo shoots and the make up and all that jazz but I prefer to be behind the camera! Tomorrow I have to walk this dress down the catwalk for our school fashion show and I'm bricking it! :S

Sooo... That is that I guess! As I said I thoroughly loved the entire process, especially the bit where I got to draw out all my designs and ideas!

Let me know what you think!

Love you all!

Sorry!

Hey lovelies, I'm really sorry i haven't being posting but something you should know is I'm not very good at sticking at these things because life just seems to get in the way, but this time I am determined to see it through and keep going with this blog.

Excuses,excuses... There is three main reasons I've been off the rails blogging... Number 1: I was taken into hospital with pyrexia(a temperature) and neutropenia (low white blood cells= low immune system) which meant I couldn't really blog about anything fashion or beauty wise, unless you guys wanted to know about my life in and out of hospital in between our fashion adventures? Let me know.
Number 2: After being off school for the majority of two years I've finally made it back, not full time, but I am getting there!
Number 3: my new job has been keeping me busy, as I really want to make a good impression and I'm loving it right now.

So I think I might let myself off the hook... THIS TIME... And who knows it might happen again. Nevertheless I will always come back so please don't be discouraged!

Let me know what post you want this Spring?! If it ever gets here, what's with all the snow?!

Love you all, Lulu xox
