once upon a fashion show

last year i had the pleasure of modelling for a friend who's a fashion student for the end of year fashion show in uni. 

It was truly nerve wrecking! 

You have to walk quickly and avoid tripping infront of a mass audience. I honestly don't know how runaway models do it.

Below you'll find Sukhi, the make-up artist, working her magic. I have never worn black lipstick before this but I really liked it and I think it suited me.

all ready to go!

Off I trot, elegantly of course

 I apologise for the quality of the photographs. I had to steal them from different sources.

It was a really great and memorable day!

Happy Sunday folks!

Passion

how absolutely true.

For the past few days or so I have been focusing on my illustrations. My main interest is fashion illustration but I find it quite difficult sometimes. Hair is an absolute horror to draw not to mention the clothes. Eeeep!

If you take a look at my portfolio, my current drawings are much better and very different now. I hope to perfect them before putting them up. My past illustrations are weak and very amateurish. 

I am my biggest critic. 

I have met so many other artists recently who tell me that they are never truly happy with their work. They always feel they can do better. That makes me feel so much better knowing that I am not alone in this.

My question to you is what is your passion? 

Lookbook competition

hello pretty ones,

Sorry I haven't been blogging my internet has been terrible so I took the chance to focus on my illustrations and that's what I have been doing.....drawing, drawing drawing! It has been a while since I did and I am trying to get back into it.

Also I have fantastic news. I participated in a lookbook competition which you can see from my sidebar and I won! The theme was 'Cheap Fashion'.

You can read about the post here.

This is what I won

Such a lovely dress! This has made my week. Thank you Angela :)

Please check out Angela's blog. She has great fashion sense and always an inspiration! :

Du Juan

I don't normally have a favourite model but this beautiful lady here caught my eye.

Personally I think women from the Far East are the most beautiful women in the world. Before you think I am tooting my horn here, I am from the South East and only a quarter chinese. And out of all the best traits I could have gotten from my chinese side, I get the round face. Meh.

She's absolutely stunning don't you agree?

When I grow up I wanna be Du Juan.

Outfit Post

It was a pretty windy day here in Birmingham.

I had a few alfalfa moments

I look like I have an antenna here. If I could photoshop it I would, but I am rubbish at it. Also I think the antenna makes me look like a human ladybug.

I like it.

Inspired by this post

I have a facebook page now, I would appreciate it very much if you could take the time to 'like' it.

Only if you want to of course :)

Also I'd like to wish everyone out there a very Happy Chinese New Year! 
I am terribly excited about the Year of the Dragon. I predict good things.

Cigarette song
