its been a while...

its been over 3 months...so sorry i havnt been updating...you guessd uni has taken over my life!!!

remember i said i was going to make some clothes the two weeks jus before i go back to uni and to fix my grandmas trousers...well didnt do any of tht...jus got lazy for two weeks and booom!! uni work jus took over... my timetable is crazy 9.30-4.30 everyday apart from friday...half day friday but i have work after uni... even though the timetable says we finish at 4.30 i still stayed in the studio workin till like 7 or half 7 most of the days...dont get home till 8!! that is how crazy it has been...

iv been eating crap n eating at dodgy times and sleeping dodgy times tht it has caused my health so messed up gained weight and unhealthy skin...i look dead lately. iv been doing all nighters doing my work, like every week i hav two a nighters...44 hrs awake my longest and do it almost every week...so many deadlines!! well its finally christmas holidays and i only have two weeks of..they say 3 weeks but they still wanted us to go in to uni last week. >.<

i was asked the other day design is so tough am i actually going to design after graduation?...i actually paused and thought >.< because of all the stress!! but then again all this hard work is not going down to waste!! one of the tutors made me feel like crap already she said i dont know how to draw and that i shouldnt be on the course...and askd did i come from foundation!! i was soo mad!! yes i came from foundation therfore i put alot of time, effort and money to get onto this course so this is what i want!! if this is not what i wanted i could of just easily down my degree at college or at sheffield hallam wer my friend is and my boyfriend being at sheffield uni >.< why waste an extra year in foundation just to get into salford...aiiii!!

anyway...its been a while...i made a few things in a few projects...have some images but should really get it taken as a photoshoot...

this was one of first had one week to design and make...i kind of rushed this as u can see the design is nothing special...at hand in we was told to lay all our work out and put the garment on a manequine then the tutors will look at everyones and put them in to individual groups n we will talk about the gud and bad...the groups are kind of like grades from A-D...A being the best and D very low...i thought i was definatly going in to D because the design is really boring!! but amazingly i was put in B thts like 2:1...it wasnt the final grade but it was to tell us what standard we are in i was so shocked!! the tutor told me tht it was a boring design simple and too short for a dress...(im short it was perfect length for me) lol but what made it a B is the bubble effects i did on it...to create the effect i used marbles tied them in to the fabric with elastic bands and steamed it. i had to use something from my magazine i did for the summer project as inspiration and i chose to use the egg puffs...

see the resemblance?... :p

ok second outfit was done in 2 weeks and had to include print and inspired by my favorite place...my favorite place obviously Hong Kong...i cudnt think of what to put as the print and even asked around what people would think of when they think of hk got lots of replies but mainly food or shopping..then i thought of chinese people the streets of hk is always packed out and over crowded of hk people...like day and night so i did a print of alot of chinese people... i called it "yellow people" lol

its a wierd combination the waistcoat and the baggy pants but i thought the pants wer cool and feel loose and free the tutors didnt like them >.< haha lol but not surprised it does look wierd. The lining in the waistcoat took me for ever!!!!! got so stressed out tht i didnt bother answering my mums calls and told her to leave me alone...felt bad afterwards though lol...

ahh got so much mre to show and tell...battery on laptop is dieing and its 5am goin to sleeeeeep update mre soon!!

Im freee for once!!!...

First of all want to say happy birthday to my auntie her bday today gona go out for a meal later :)

Happy Birthday Koo Ma!! :D x x

Well woop woop I finally finished my project on TIME aswell think this is the first time EVER!!! :D Just waiting for it to get printed to a magazine now :) uni gave us a website to print books www.blurb.com the website has there own software but i used adobe InDesign instead which was recomended by a friend (Poling) who also studies fashion but at Sheffield Hallam. After completing the magazine on indesign i was to upload it to Blurb.com there was so many faults and had to go through it all again and drived me crazy!! I sooo didnt finish it on the date i set myself but at least I have 2 weeks to relax before going back to uni now...

anyway got loads of free time now and have loads of things i want to do!! first of all dye my hair which im doing right now :) want a dark ash brown colour so i have a Garnier caramel abit lighter than what i want but i have dark hair so i hope it will come out the colour I want.

then i need to fix my grandmas trousers they too long for her... bless her shes shrinking :( i dnt want to shrink when im old >.< then I'm going to make some clothes dunno what sort of stuff yet but will see what fabrics i got :)

need to tidy bedroom and living room oh and wash my car Harry :):)

eek register for another year at uni!! :)

I went to town on Sunday here's my recent hauls:
All from H&M

flower clip/broocher £2.99
hair grips £1.99
eyelashes (Medium)£2.99
just some random pieces i picked up :)

Internet haul:
ebay

fairydrops platinum mascara £19.38
hair velcro grip 62p
I was recomended the fairy drop mascara and i couldnt find it in HK so i decided to get it online this one i got is a platinum an upgraded version of the one i was recomended by a friend but i think this mascara isnt so good. gets abit messy from the bumps on the brush and it doesnt hold the curl to the lashes.

The hair velcro grips i bought some when i was in HK but i only brought one pack and my sister and mum loved them so thought i get more it was alot cheaper online aswell got 4 packs for 62p including post&package $5 for one pack from HK >.<

Well anyway this post is getting long im gonna leave it here now...xxx

A couple of weeks ago me an tom was in london and he was interested in the abercrombie and fitch clothes. I was talking about it at work wondering why i see alot of people wear it in manchester. It seems so popular when theres only one store in uk in london and it only opened recently-december 2009. Then i was told that the new store called Hollister in traford centre are by Abercrombie and Fitch so that is why there are alot of people wearing it. i checked it out on the internet and it does say that Hollister is the sisterhood of A&F.

Sunday 11th

I took a treck to trafford centre i wanted to get somthing and surprise tom tell him we dnt hav to go all the way to london. There was a sign sayin Hollister Co by A&F went in and the layout and style was exactly the same as the A&F store in london the clothes are too BUT nothing was A&F...hav i been fooled >.<

I decided to buy something to treat myself instead and thought of a new moisturizer as iv just ran out. Ive been using the Dramatically Different moisturizing lotion by clinique i think this works it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth but the only thing is it feels too liquidy...wen it has been absorbed into the face it feels like its gone and that i need to moisturize again.

i wanted to use something else and i bought the MAC Moisturelush cream. i was recomended the Studio moisture cream aswell but the sales said the studio moisture is for like skin that needs some moisture and the moisturelush is for more of a dry skin it will keep it hydrated all day. i have really dry flakey skin so i decided to get the moisturelush i have used it for the past two days it feels greasy and oily but my skin isnt shiny,greasy or look oily at all its only when you touch it. not sure if this will work for me yet but ill keep trying it.



RRP.£22

Going to do some printing tomorrow, over 80 pages to print for my research file. Came to toms uni to print as its 25p a page and 40p at mine such a rip of and there are alot of design students in my uni and so expensive!!!

weds 7th 2010

wow i never use full stops!! lol im in my second week of hols now got 1 more week left. i havent done any work!! trying to gather research and info for my business report atm... i hate essays!! i never make sence.

well my family is here so even mre less time for uni work ugh... they are ment to go tonite but theyv decided to go tomorow instead. tom is anoyed he wanted me to spend time wif him but i always spend time wif him anyway jus because my family is here he seems to b anoyed wif me. makes me feel like i dont respect my family...

i was plannin to spend time wif him next week wen he goes bk to uni but ill hav to think bout it first. Mite jus stay home concentrate wif work.

need to finish my report, finish of designs, make toile and garment and samples before i go bk to uni need to find a dancer yet for my film work :s dunno wht im gonna do :(
lots and lots to do argh!!!!!

easter holiday...

thought i was gonna keep this blog going and up to date but big fat FAIL...its been over 2 months nearly 3 since i been on here...and only have one post! so sad... hmm okies ill try and make it long just to make up to it...

well its now the easter hols so iv got 3 weeks of...its going to be hell though so much deadlines to complete!! ive bin of 4 days now an still not got down to it...iv even deactivated FB for now :'( dunno how long i will last wif out it tho haha

ooo 19.2.10 went to london for the weekend was bo fan for valentines day with tom had such an adventure!! the apartment we booked for had sum problems so was transfered to sum hotel on the first nite and like Oh Em Gee it was so disgusting, small and expensive!! luckily we got the luxury apartment for the small apartment price :) was sooo nice!! wanna live there or sumthin like tht :):) went to the bape shop...think tom was a litle disappointed with the limited stock haha then we went to abercrombie and fitch store was PACKED!! ehh not my thing...bershka is more like it :) :D hehe got quite a few stuff from there....

anyway moving on 28.3.10 went to alton towers collected some tokens from the sun newspaper to get 2 free tickets :) the new Th13teen ride wasnt what i was expecting it, wasnt anythin special and not scary at all. the ques for other rides didnt have to wait tht long so manage to get on a few rides even though we left early. enjoyed the day out wif bb, he collected tokens too so hope we get to go agen in the summer maybe :) we left early so i cud get bk on time to bid on some tria markers on ebay. i won £122 for 90 tria markers! Bargain!! can learn to do sum gud illustrations now :)

today agen no work done and went yam cha at taiwu wif tom an his mammy i payed coz his mammy always cooks and make soup for me :) went to doctors after aswel for tom then opticians he has to wear glasses gona luck wierd on my lil pilot >.< i dnt think hes too happy about it :( well im not i think u needs to have perfect eyesite to be a big pilot :(:( oh nooo... hes been sayin b4 he wont be one but i still want him to be and try to encourage him...but he can still b a lil pilot :) booked opticians for me tomorow going to stop wearing contact now making my eyes worse :( no more colourd contacts...

oh oh i dont think i have mentioned that i have chosen to do design...i realised tht the styling wasnt what i want... at uni its more like image making an photography styling and not hair and make up or anythin like tht... and in the final yr i wudnt be able to join the excitment of being in the fashion shows :) atm in uni each 1st yr is set with a 3rd yr to help them out on there graduate collection... it looks soo intense but exciting theres loads to do!!! helping them out doing there work more than doin my own atm and i have 5 deadlines due str8 after easter!! arghh wish me luck!!

Blogging...:)

Hii...

So ive been wanting to rite a blog for a while now especially seeing my bf's blog its so cute hw he writes his little life story of each day back at college. But i never gt the chance to write one, because of not having a laptop, now iv finally got myself a new laptop. :) so thort i start my own blog right away to let some thoughts out. Having so many deadlines and getting stressed out at uni think writing a blog would help aswell...i dont know how but i think it would lol or maybe it wont. Anyway its my first time writing a proper blog so dont know how to work this out but ill give it a try :)

i got my laptop on friday got a HP g61 it was a little dodgy at first the screen kept going blank wen i turn it on. got worried as its brand new so thought i bring it back to pc-world but it was fine wen i showed them the problem. was a waste of my time, its fine now and love it so dont really kno what was rong wif it at first. This will be one of my all time fav products for deffinate hehe...

Another thing i bought today was my slr :):) i got the Nikon D3000 its sooo sexy :):) just love looking at it never mind playing with it hehe whilst buying it i got offered a memory card a 4gb for £15 wer as i can get one from aria for less than £10 for a 6 class 4gb memory card the speed is faster. Gonna wait until i get one of them then play wif it an refund the other one :):)

hmmm well today has been a long long day!! i had uni for 9.30 strt and left at 6pm... going home was dark, wet, cold and the snow has now turned to slush so sloppy aswell. i didnt drive as the uni car park is still full of snow so nowhere to park an its dangerous driving. tom droped me of in the morning so luckily i didnt hav to b wet wilst in uni. My deadline for friday has been cancelled due to severe weather a little strange because we still have to go in that day but i feel so relaxed felt like crying cz i was so happy to hear that it has moved till next friday. But then thinking back im going to have 3 deadlines all in for next week now...hmmm oh wells, me n kim worked together today shes normally fast but she sat there all day watchin me do my work wen i caught up to her stage i ended up helpin her do hers lol...amreen came in late as usuall an never started her patterns at all was gonna start from scratch so i let her copy my patterns to save time. deshna was soooo hard working!! she was on the sewing machine constantly from 9.30 till 6!! never saw her leave it lol. anyway leaving uni was a nightmare kim was in heels so she had to walk really really slow then she wanted us to wlk wif her incase she slipt lol it took us about half an hour to walk 5 mins worth or wlkin lol cudnt believe it then amreen me an deshna got on the bus to town £2 it cost me!! tht is jus like 5mins on the bus the price went up bcz of the snow.....so unfair didnt have that problem about paying more bcz of snow on the bus from town to home. wen i gt to town i went to purchase my slr straight away to Currys Digital and then headed home didnt get in till bout half 7... wow all this was actually yesterday now its 1.30am already think i need my sleeps now since i gt up so early today...will blog agen soon

much love x x
