Where do i begin when i talk about textiles... To say that i love everything to do with textiles and sewing is an understatement! I would say anyone who knows me would say i am obsessed! I am not very good at drawing (i try though!!!) I love nothing more than making something with fabrics :) I am a very creative person and love adapting and creating new textile products. Textiles is 100% my absolute favourite subject and i thoroughly enjoy spending time designing and making new textile items. I am also a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to textiles, i like everything to be neat! After college i would love to go into a career in the textile industry :)

Its all about the design!
My absolute favourite fashion designer is Marc Jacobs! Marc Jacobs is a good role model having become the youngest designer ever to win the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent. I love Marc Jacob's designs as i love the structure that all of his clothes have. I also think that his use of minimal colour in his clothes makes them very sophisticated and smart, and gives them a more structured and textured appearence.
Work Work Work
On a Saturday I work at Elphicks in Farnham from 9.30 - 5.30pm. I work in accessories, so always get to be around a variety of bags, jewellery and purses! I wear a blue shirt, and black trousers. I love interacting with all the customers, and working on the tills, but there is a big downside. As myself, I am a big shopaholic i find that every week there is a new Kath Kidston bag, or charm bracelet in stock, that i feel i just can't live without. This then ends up with me buying most of the stock for myself!!!! A shop probably isn't the most sensible place for me to work! :P
Everything Fashion!
Bright colours, unusual clothes and all things floral just about sums up my wardrobe! I wouldn't say i have a particular style when it comes to clothes, i love to keep changing!!
My favourite item of clothing in my wardrobe is my Marilyn Monroe red aran knit red jumper. I love the texture and design on this jumper. This is my favourite item of clothing as i love the colour, and it can be worn with pretty much anything.
I also love my bunny slippers :)
I'm really loving bright colours this year, with my favourite bright blue skinnies. These jeans are from Jack Wills, and although i'm not a great fan of Jack Wills, i absolutley love these jeans!!
My favourite bag of the moment is my oversized tan coloured bag from Mango! This is a great bag, it goes with almost any outfit and is the perfect size to carry everything you need in.
Music
I'm really into lots of different types of music but this has to be my favourite song at the moment (The A Team- Ed Sheeran. I love Ed Sheeran as a singer, as all of his lyrics are very meaningful and are almost story like.
