It's been a hectic few weeks as I am sure you are all aware of! What with end of year deadlines, christmas shopping and starting the slog that is revision, uomfashion has had to take a backseat!
Just a small post for you today as I know you must get back to the books!
I hope you all had a great christmas and that new years wasn't a big letdown like it usually is! For those of you who also attended Warehouse Project on nye I think it's safe to say it'll be difficult for future new years to match. If you didn't manage to make it to a Warehouse Project this year you may be happy to hear that Ape are throwing a big night at the Apollo and it just happens to coincide with the end of exams. Check out the facebook event if you are interested!
I recently wrote my new years resolutions and decided I was spending too much money on high street clothing. In order to correct this, I've decided that vintage and second hand shops are now the only place I am allowed to shop in for the entirety of 2011. This will inevitably be difficult but I intend to rework some of these clothes a la New Dress A Day. I plan to write up some of these sewing adventures in blog format and I hope that they will inspire you to be creative and make one-off pieces with shapeless things you find in charity shops.
If one of your new year's resolutions is to further your fashion career or do something creative then why not write for our blog? It will look great on your CV (confirmed by Rachel Studd) and it may be an outlet for some ideas you already have but aren't sure what to do with them. Get in touch with us at uomfashion@gmail.com!
Good luck in your exams!
Now wearing: Pretty boring revision outfit livened up with a chunky knit red scarf (bought for mum at christmas but have used more than she has!).
Now listening to: Twin Atlantic - Audience and Audio (current favourite band)
Now coveting: Topshop's SS11 collection after seeing the preview!
