Uni House Move 3

I thought I would share some pictures with you of my new house.
On this crazy weekend we moved out of a 6 bed room house to a two bed with just the other half. (God help me!) 
I came to realise how much STUFF I have!
Here is how the house looks now thanks to my mum and Danny's mum, 
we've made it abit more homely.
Also there was a rainbow on the way back from a much needed pub meal!(Coincidently placed at the top of my street)








My gift from the lovely guys at Matalan.  
At the Manchester Blogger Carat event which gave us some great advice on monetizing your blog.
So expect some changes soon!!

You can buy this gorgeous holiday bag here
The A/W lookbook for Matalan really surprised me, there was some great pieces at great prices! Which sold it for me, being a student Topshop is far too pricey.
Next on my bag list is this bargain for £8!




Making use of all my magazines on our coffee table which was £3.50 from IKEA!
As you can tell I have a slight obsession with candles and fairy lights. Any homeware bloggers I would love your links for some more ideas for our new house!

Vogue, the september issue.


The beautiful Freja Beha covers the front page in a sequin ensemble. She always gives a good cover.
 


A enlightening page turner in the turbulent life of John Galliano.

You often see the pressure head designers and its nice to see Vogue not ditching him but supporting him unlike so many. He is a talented man in a world full of pressure.
Kate Moss's wedding dress was gorgeous and ethereal like the old Galliano i's love the Us edition of Vogue with an interview with Kate Moss about her working with Galliano.

Having recently wrote an essay about fashion mavericks and their marks on fashion i found it enlightening and brave of Vogue to talk freely about the issues and pressures that head designers go through.

The continuous side effects of being a head designer seem to result in rehab or suicide.

His actions were inexcusable and there are no justifications except he is in the best place getting help.

 John Galliano was just save in time by his very inappropriate outburst that perhaps saved him from the same ending as the incredible Lee McQueen.

John Galliano, and the fashion houses treatment towards them. Ditched in a time of need by the label that he helped and created great works of art for.

As a fashion student I find it fascinating how the first fashion mavericks would not seem as controversial as modern day innovators. The change has become more controversial and shocking as fashion has evolved.

 There aren't many modern day mavericks left with out a scandal; as each designer is constantly told to out do each other, to create more shocking and exciting catwalk shows. They have to create their own identities of fearless fashion creators, and establishing their own unique catwalk styles.

I think the pressure is obvious with having to be a true fashion maverick and not be ‘in fashion’ but ‘above fashion’. Hopefully we can help designers through times like these and stop other designers heading down the same path.

The fashion is on form- being labeled - 'the big fashion issue' they certainly delivered.

I throughly enjoyed it and it's nice to see vogue have more content then adverts for once.

You can always count on the September issue.

love clemence poesy

personally i have a soft spot for parisian fashion.
a real weak spot for old school couture houses and the french look in general.

clemence poesy came to my attention in harry potter a la fleur.
with the notorious alexander mcqueen lookalike wedding dress, and stylish fashion sense off screen.

the chanel video was beautiful and her look enchanting.
