A weight lifted off my Shoulders!!

Today is the deadline for my Portfolio and Design and Visual Culture visual product.

Can't wait to hand it in! Here are some of the bit's and pieces that went in it...

you can check them out in full on My e-Portfolio.

Cold is just a sensation.

After listening to Fearne on Radio 1 this morning about how she was told by a London Cab driver that cold is just a sensation, I have decided; sensation or not, I dispose this icy temperature!

Especially after seeing Prada's SS 12 campaign, it's very light and fun feel. If SS12 is going to be as playful as this video, it's set to be a great one!

I can't wait to get out to Charleston, USA now!!

Hurrryy up hotter weather, I want to be able to wear these pastels and cool sunglasses shapes!!!

Berlin.

New Years Resolutions

1. Be a better Blogger.


So I've written it here now, it's down in writing. I can't go back on it.
So let it begin with a make-over.


Introducing....


I am Catherine Rose and this is who I am.

What Am I Like?

A graphic of all my favourite things I like (or dislike). I hope you can make them all out!

Lots of colour and pleats!? well I couldn't resist!

My new dress. <3

Well it's funny you should mention cozzzzz...

Once upon a time there was little old me wondering around Vic Centre and along came Topshop, this evil villain (not realy villain, but for the sake of the story, Villain) and stole my money straight from my purse! The did leave this old thing behind on their getaway.... I thought I'd try it on...

Dress - Topshop

Cardigan - H&M

Belt - Accessorize

Shoes - River Island.

And anyone who knows me will know that the necklace worn is my favourite and I think it goes with just about.. everything. Happy days! :)

That new Skirt I bought (or Mum did)

I've been looking for a really nice maxi tube skirt for a while now! There was a nice one in Marks & Spencers, New Look staff hadn't got a clue what I was on about and directed me to the maxi dresses?!

Got me thinking that staff need proper training on trends even in the cheaper high street stores like New Look!!

As per usual, it was ASOS that had the perfect skirt in a hazelnut colour and thanks to the Mother for purchasing it for me. Anyway, it here it is!

Cropped Top - New Look

Maxi Tube Skirt - ASOS

Sandals - River Island

Belt - Vintage

Large Rings - Topshop

Small Rings and Gold Bracelets - Family Heirlooms

Sunglasses - H&M

p.s Thanks littleee sister Libby for letting me steal your yellow nailvarnish!

Nearly Summer, but not quite..

In the fabulous United Kingdom we clutch on to any hope that summer is coming and as soon as the sun decides to come out we strip off. But do we really look cool in flip flops, hot pants and strappy tees with blue toes, goose pimples and stiff nipples?!

My solution;

Bare looking tights, a pop of colour from a summer scarf (or two) and an overiszed denim jacket.

Here I am, perfectly warm(ish) sitting on a bench at the beach.. Yes, i can't wait for the real summer.
