Book One

One of the reasons that I didn't post so much during September was because I was finishing the first draft of my first novel. I'm not going to say what it is about or anything like that. I just wanted to let you all know (whoever reads this blog) that I have written over 100,000 words which has taken me nearly three years to create and complete.

Writing is what I do best and I've bought a book that will hopefully lead me in the right direction of getting it published.

Fingers crossed!

Lovely Lace; Old Style

One of the key trends this season is returning to the Victorian Era and throwing a load of lace together. I write this blog today as I have a Victorian Lit lecture later on. Currently we're doing about the whole industrial working class novel.

Anyway, back to fashion. My Mum always says that this kind of stuff suits me: the black, the lace, all of it thrown together. Although she says that, I don't actually have anything Victorian style with lace. This may have to be changed soon! It is coming up to November. I might think about some Victorian lace for Christmas Day. It is a special occasion and I can look for that special Victorian style dress.

The fashion designer who created the majority of these beautiful designs for LFW AW11 collections was Giles. It really is a beautiful trend.

I may have to do a bit of online shopping just before Christmas Day arrives and buy possibly all of these items!

Fashion Wonderland

This is just a post for some Alice inspired fashion. I'm studying The Origins of Children's Literature in my second year of uni at Roehampton and this is the book that I am going to do a presentation about. It's not for another four weeks yet but I thought I'd think about it and here is some inspiration.

Also, random: apparently the world is going to end this Friday (which is according to the guy who originally stated that the world was going to end in May). He said that May was the spiritual end but this Friday it is the physical end.

The world is not going to end any time soon. Definitely not in my lifetime!

Thoughts?

The Feather Tattoo

If you read my blog then you may have seen that I want a feather tattoo (inspired by the lovely Erin Wasson). I've been looking round recently, as my addiction grows higher and higher, for the perfect feather tattoo. Do I want a 'normal' feather or a peacock feather? I know the exact place where I want it (again, thanks to Erin Wasson) but I do not know what type and whether I want to redesign something myself. As I'm not a good artist, I think I may have to pass on that option.

I have been looking around for inspiration and here is what I have so far...

My beautiful friend with her peacock feather.

If I could, I would probably have the majority of these but due to other tattoos and the sheer amount of tattoos in ration to bare skin, science would not allow me. I probably won't get this tattoo (my fourth) for another year or so, just because I am nineteen and I have three already. Also, I can't really afford it and I want it to be at a significant point in my life.

What I haven't mentioned is that I want my 'feather tattoo' to be turned into a feather quill pen for the obvious reason of my being a writer.

So I leave you with these images and inspirations of beautiful artwork.
