New Blogger...

Hey,


Im new to blogging but i'm a girl that never shut up and always has some project or challenge going on :)  


* I'm 23, single and work full time. It's not my dream job (which would be a Clothing Designer) but it's one I enjoy and I work with some wonderful people.

*  I live in a gorgeous little apartment, its like an Aladdin's Cave of hidden treasures. Hiddens treasures mainly being clothing, accessories and prettiful jewels! Im a total dress up queen at heart! 



* Im pretty creative and love things that are unique and custom made, especially clothing.  A few years ago I would spend alot of my time searching eBay for the perfect pieces of "DIY Clothing" or "One of a Kind" items. I then came to realise that these items would be easy to make and a fraction of the price with a little crafty knowledge ...which it something my Grandma kindly passed down to me, aswell as her wonderful sewing machine! 


Here are a couple of DIY Skirts I made for a friend for a festival. They were made from old jeans that she no longer wore.


* I adore shopping!! Think that's a statement every girl says... Sometimes I love it a little too much if that is possible. I prefer to shop at charity shops, carboots or markets. I do shop in the high street but only a few shops. My favourite and only Designer Love is Vivienne Westwood! I adore the 'edge' and 'attitude' she gives her clothing. 
In normal fashion the person own the outfit.. in Vivienne Westwood fashion the outfit owns the person!





* Lastly I was inspired by my lovely friend Sam ( http://corsetscraftsandcupcakes.blogspot.com/ ) to do a blog regarding all the things going on. Im hoping this will also be a good way for me to keep track and maybe push me to do all the things I want to, while also showing people some of my loves and hopefully inspire them to unleash their inner creativity!
