Into the next decade

Well a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I have been on hold for 3 weeks, which is no way to go about a blog - but there we go....I have no excuses. Time to change for the new year - my resolutions - to work harder, to push myself, to not procrastinate. And things I need to achieve this year - an industrial placement, good exam results, fluency in french. haha. I'm not aiming too high I hope. And I would love to keep this blog going. I shall hopefully be finding exciting things and new designs all from 2010 - I may also delight you with some of my own work...which is not as exciting, but could be interesting?

I'd also like to add, that now we are not being monitored or graded on our blogs, I can truly write whatever I like...which probably changes nothing.

For Christmas I got a book by the Sartorialist- a blogger who goes around the streets of New York or Florence taking amazing shots of the people around him. I love to look at other fashion blogs, particularly ones that are now famous and really inspiring. Its interesting because he often takes close ups of really intricate details about someones attire, and he photographs men and women equally, which I think is important. Check out his blog, and also buy his book - its truly wonderful. Apparently his favourite photo of all time is this one:

"I love her posture, the bike itself, her hat pulled low, the studious glasses, she just seems so elegant and yet completely sporty. I hate over-preciousness and she seems like the kind of girl that would ride in a convertible with the top and not worry about her hair because she knows she has a great cut."

This photo was taken in Paris - I love it! And I love that she never knew she was being taken, and never knew that she is part of something so big.

Happy New Year!
