Favourite blogs

So like most Fashion students I go on every social media site and follow near enough the same people/magazines/celebratriy style icons on Twitter, Instagram ect all for one purpose to see what they are wearing or to get the latest trends! Recently blogs are the new big thing to follow trends and get the latest fashion. I am a massive follower of blogs and here are my top 3 favourites at the moment.... 

I especially love this time of year are its LFW and most of the top bloggers get invites to big shows which means you get an inside view from your computer screen and to see what they are wearing!!!

THE MAN REPELLER

manrepeller.com

This blog is written by New Yorker Leandra Medine. She writes posts about her style, what she wears, trend reviews, shows she attends, beauty ect. I find myself drawn back to her blog because she tends to add humour to her posts which is always a bonus as I find myself giggling away as I am reading, I also like her style as she isn't scared to push boundaries.

WEWOREWHAT BY DANIELLE

http://weworewhat.com

Weworewhat is a blog all about style and daily outfits. Danielle who is from NYC first started this blog as a street style blog but she later developed it into a personal style dairy. Her posts include lots of good photography and she also puts down where she got outfits from which is a bonus.

5 INCH AND UP

http://5inchandup.blogspot.co.uk

Orginally from Finland but now living in London Sandra Hagelstam's blog is a key personal style blog. She fills you in on her day to day where abouts and what shes been wearing. I like the way her posts of simple yet her photography and outfits are the main feature.

Spring sandals...

Although the weather outside is pretty freezing and the snow is still falling from the sky pretty quick! I have my eyes on these leather strap sandals from Pull&Bear. I think these are quite a staple piece that will see me through the spring and into the summer nicely (thats if we have a nice spring), they can be worn with almost anything as well which is a bonus. Now for the discussion of buying them or not, hmmmmmmmmm....

Pattern cutting- 8

The fabric I have chose to the make the Giles Deacon dress is a purple taffeta, Its really pretty in different lights as sometimes it looks purple, pink or even blue! I think it will be great for the photo shoot.

First of all I laid out the pattern pieces on the fabric 

Because the good sides and bad sides of the fabric weren't obvious I have to make the wrong side visible with tailors chalk 

Adding in the dart. There is a really small tricky one which is above the seam allowance at the bottom of the pattern peice and you cant go over the edge which really took some patience to do

Over locking of the two sides  

Then attaching the two sides with a 1cm seam allowance

We then had to carry out the task of adding in the bodice panels, which really confused me at times and I really had to concentrate and think about! Once I have done this task I few times Im sure it will come to me a lot more naturaly 

Over locking all the raw edges after the bodice was complete

Once the garment was constructed up to this stage it needed to e pressed on the iron making sure all the edges were pressed in the right places
