..made some mood boards today to send of with a placement application for River Island. 

Here they are.....

CHALLENGING

..the 30 day music challenge isn't working out so well.

But here is an amazing mix from Blawan to make up for it. After witnessing his Filthy Tech House on Tuesday at Lost Boyz Club I am going to be keeping a very close eye, this guy has a huge presence on the stage check him out 'ERE.

Or for something a little more mainstream..check the Dazed Digital playlist 'ERE

DRAIN.

This is the A1 sized demon which has drained my brain for the past week.

Each side features a different area of exploration for an illustrated essay..and after my presentation i'm still not sure which to pick...I found the convergence of Architecture and Fashion in Modernist and Post-Modernist far more interesting than I had expected. But the evolution of Androgyny is undeniable fascinating....comment if you have a favourite.

Photo's aren't exactly artistically poised but you get the idea.

4.5.

A Sad Song

Something In The Way - Nirvana

Gorgeous but sad. Such a Nirvana girl at heart.

A Song That Makes Me Think Of Someone

What A Waster - Libertines

Reminds me of my Horseshoe Crew...called that because the weekend we saw Libertines together all 6 of girls got a little horseshoe tattooed.

FRIDAY

What I Wore On Friday.

Chanelling some kind of dark 1970's hippy look.

Bandeau Topshop

Shirt Asos

Necklace Topshop

Belt Vintage

Shorts Vintage Levi's. 

CHANEL AND 3

I've been hunting though Topshop's website looking for some new smarter wardrobe staples (i'll post more about this tomorrow)..when I came across this gorgeous holdall bag.

£45

It's perfect! Love that it can be slung over the shoulder with the long strap or grabbed by the handle and it's got a great balance of vintage styling and understatement. Then I realised why I really adore this bag, the palm tree tapestry pattern really reminds me of the Spring Summer '11 Chanel ads, which are perhaps my favourite of the season.

I love the dark moody take on the usually tropical paml trees. The images remind me of an abandoned holiday destination, where only the beautiful Freja remains.

So..I know what i'll be buying with my eBay profits!!

..and a song which makes me happy...

I love Bombay Bicycle Club for a chilled morning but this remix tops it.

SONG2

Gunna be a lover not a fighter..and not post a song I hate..

So here's what i've just heard that's put me reet in the mood to go out.

On the subject of soundssss, I swung by Nottingham Contemporary today and urge you to check out the Jack Goldstein Sound Art exhibition..it seems to new and fresh, but was originally created in the 70's....check out some details 'ERE. Loved the rickety sound of the projectors.

...definatly have a thing for old sounding recording and always listen to Friday night Radio1 of my dented and dusty 1980's boombox, so rough and naughty.

And I promise to post something better tomorrow xx
