SUMMER WORDROBE

Over the past few weeks I have been building up a summer wardrobe so when those lovely warm sunny day do come ( its been raining all week!!).  Anyway I just thought I post some groupings of clothes I have bought.

WHITES: This colour looks fresh and clean and great for the summer, I have recently had a bit of a thing for picking up white bits and pieces so hopefully I will got a lot of use out of them this summer.

White jumper, Topshop

White clutch, Dorothy Perkins

White jeans Topshop

Necklace, Miss Selfridge sale

Here are a few bright pieces I have bought, if I could recommend one high street shop that has lovely summer clothing at the moment, it's H&M. I have bought some lovely simple bright neon t-shirts from there which brighten up an outfit but they are not too expensive. 

  

 The nail varnishes are numbers 213- Pink and 602- Mint

The aqua shorts and headband are both from Primark.

I am planning to wear the shorts with the white jumper above. The headband can add a pop colour to any simple outfit.

HELLO!!!

This is the latest Topshop window which I saw in both the Liverpool and Edinburgh stores. The theme is clearly a party with the bunting, balloons and cake. I am assuming that the window is to celebrate the Queens 60th Jubilee. Topshop tend to use small props but in great amounts to fill the large window space.
I also like the way they carry on the theme in the store.

It is a lovely window that certainly catches your eye. It's fun and colourful and makes you wonna go and have a party of your own woo hoo!!

HELLO!!!

Spent the day up in Edinburgh yesterday, the day started with a waking up at 4.30am to ready for a 3 hour train journey. The purpose of the trip was to meet up with the organisers of the Edinburgh International Festival which starts in August. Me and a team are going to to design, create and install some windows plus an in-store installation for the festival. The windows will be placed in a few stores along Princes street. We were taken on a little tour of the famous store Jenners with their head of VM, Ewin. Really looking forward to it and it will be a great opportunity to work with an international organisation  (EIF). Edinburgh is such a lovely place, the buildings are beautiful. We are spending a few day up there when installing the windows so it will be nice to explore the city a little more.

Visual Merchandising and Promotional design Degree show

23rd May 2012

This is my exhibition show for BA honours in Visual Merchandising and Promotional Design. The brief was the future of retail, visual merchandising and promotional design. My concept was based on a modern day market. The exhibition was great and I even won best in show which was a exciting and rewarding end to my degree.
