This week was when Lily Vintage was beginning to launch its own handmade vintage inspired collection online. It's going to be available on asos marketplace at the moment.

These were the first two items to go online that i have made for the boutique, it's always kind of exciting that people actually want to buy things that I've been making! So the rest of the hand made collection should be up soooon! So just head to https://marketplace.asos.com/boutique/lily-vintage if you're interested!!

My week in photos

   This week has been manic!

It was one of my closest friends birthdays not long ago so we went out so a fair few drinks to say the least!

Derbs had a fab time... and the picture of the pug pretty much sums up how I felt waking up the day after! Deffo not 100%.

And... I FINALLY got a job! At probably one of the most perfect places for a fashion student, Abakhan so my mum got me these flowers to say well done Ruthie!

I get discount too and I've been spotting all types of fabrics I want to make things with eeek!

I made a trip back up to Preston to hand my mini collection in and it's kind of like a weight off my shoulders, so this is just an image from the shoot and my flats to go with it.

Then it was time to shoot the hawaiian collection, it's great to see things you've made and styled being modelled and photographed! Can't wait to see the final edits!

Lastly a good end to my week was that I won a competition for the first time in my life, thanks to Jucey clothing who I featured in my blog a few weeks back. 

They're currently making a co-ord in my chosen fabric, can't wait to get hold of it!!

 

 

Hawaiian Collection Shoot Day

After showing you a preview of a vintage piece I altered for our Hawaiian inspired the collection 

this is just a selection of the other outfits on offer that were modelled by our model Lara.

It was such a fun afternoon Zoe and I helped with the styling of the shoot after Leesa had given us ideas of what to put together then, Chloe did a fab job as per shooting it!

Can't wait to see the final images, they should be up on asos soon!

Hawaiian Feeling!

Tomorrow is the day of our Hawaiian inspired collection photo shoot which I'm dead excited for!

I feel I've had more input into the collection as I've nearly been ad PD for 7 weeks now, CRAZY.

I've been super busy over the past week sorting bits and bobs out and printing boards and feel like I've missed keeping track of what I've done, So here's just a hint of whats in store for tomorrows shoot. 

It's a vintage Hawaiian shirt that I reworked in the studio today and it turned out pretty cool, hope you agree?!

Might have to raid the charity shops for some old shirts and make a few!

The collections a mix of Pretty disturbia hand made, customised and vintage pieces, and obviously I'm going to take so pictures as the shoots going on. As it's one of my fave parts of working here. Finally seeing what you've made being shot and modelled!

My week in Photos

This is kinda what I've been up to this week...

My mum and dad went to Nice to visit my twin Brother who has a placement out there in a museum, how jammy i have to get the train to Manchester everyday and he's sunning it up in France "practising his language" yeah yeaaaaah! More like eating cake and lying on the beach I say!

1 / So as a treat they bought me some Armani perfume and I'm so glad i was running dangerously low!

2 / Just a summery vintage shirt I wore on my day off last week

3 / Had a leaving party for my friend Gen who's jetted off to Australia so I shared this piccy of when we were 16 and went as a joint fancy dress as Tom and Jerry, how embarrassing?!

4 / Sneaky shot from my week at placement, doing out Steam Punk photo shoot.

5/ Spent the day with my brothers girlfriend job hunting, eating pizza and getting piercings!

6 / Somehow I came home with this, wasn't my plan but on two for one piercings who would say no!?

Photo shoot For my mini collection!

 

On Friday in probably the worst weather all week I did my photo shoot for my UCLan mini collection. 
With the help of my friends it went really well, the collection is based on a futuristic feel and I made a crop top, skirt and jacket!
The skirt and crop top are made from imitation leather with plastic insert panels. 
The Jacket is in a royal blue Lycra also with plastic panels.

I'm so happy with the pictures my friend Rosie Martin took and my Friend Anna Strain made jewellery that features in the shoot!
Also the model Erin was fab in the crappy weather I felt awful stood there 
with an umbrella and jacket while she was doing her thinggggg freezing...oopsies!
