My trip to the UK wedding fair :)

Hellooo,

 

Last Saturday my mum took me to the UK wedding fair at the excel centre in London (To study all the pretty dresses with my costume making eye! :P). I was very excited as many of you will remember me blogging about how amazing the Asian wedding fair I went to was.

 

Hehe, Instead of waffling on I will let the pictures I took do the talking- this time I managed to get clearer photos as me and my mum got really good seats right at the front for the catwalk show:

Who said a wedding dress had to be white? This is one of the vintage dresses they showed, here is another one:

 

I love going to bridal shows as it is an area I may go into in the future, after uni. You Learn a lot from them and often pick up tons of contact info and brochures (with tons of pictures!!!) I want to got to an African wedding fair next so I work my way around the globe-wedding fair style! :P

 

I hope you all are having a good week so far :) This week is my last week in college working on my half scale kimono- it is going to be a challenge but fingers crossed I get it all done (it doesn't have to be finished, the project is more looking at good technique but I realllly want to finish mine!).

 

I am thinking of doing a giveaway soon, so keep you eyes peeled :D

 

See you again soon,

Getting ready for uni!

 

Helloo,

 

For several weeks I have been getting all the bits and bobs I need for Uni like pots, pans, books, course supplies and..... clothes! :D Haha, I have enjoyed doing my clothes shopping, choosing lots of lovely outfits to wear.

 

I wanted to show you a picture of my most special, glam, saving-for-a-special-occasion dress that my mum and dad got me as an early birthday gift:

 

 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! I was drooling over it in the shop and said to my mum one day I will wear a dress like that! Then the next day she surprised me by bringing me one home :D It is sooo beautiful and it fits me perfectly :-) I am so happy to have it in my wardrobe ready to bring out for that perfect occasion! (and to put on and walk around in it in front of the mirror when I want to, lol :p) 

 

As my college is about 1/2 hour walk from my uni home I planned on using my bike some days and having a nice little cycle there instead. As another early birthday present my dad helped me do up my bike (which I haven't used in years!):

 

 

I got a cute basket :3:

 

And my dad made me a wooden vintage style crate to go on the back to give me even more carry space. I chose to put 'Gutermann & Co' the sewing thread makers so we painted it on the side and on the other side I want to paint 'Finest sewing thread' in an old fashioned style font to complete the look :)

 

Tomorrow me and my dad are taking some of my stuff up to my Uni home so that will be fun.

 

In other news here are my latest innocent smoothie hat creations:

 

 

An American style pretzel hat :D- I am going to make more in different colours.

 

And some little flowery hats that remind me of baby hats:

 

 

 

I used pastel self striping yarn and I think it gave quite an interesting effect.

 

I am off to carry on with more now, and check I have packed all my stuff properly for tomorrow!

 

See you soon,

 

Bye XXX
