Frockin' Happy

Please excuse the title. For the past 2 weeks I've been working backstage for a new T4 show "Frock Me" which is a fashion and music magazine show presented by Alexa Chung, designer Henry Holland and Gemma Cairney. Part of the show features wannabe styists also known as "Frockers" from different cities around the UK pulling together an outfit based on a theme. They then have a "Frock off" at the end of the show and the winner wins £1000. With all this frockin' frock off frockers I keep finding myself trying to create words and phrases using "frock".

Anywhoo, that's pretty much what I wore on my first day last week.I really should have taken a picture of what I wore instead. Now I'm off to go and sort my self out for uni next week. I'll try and post later.

Sorry...

I'm so sorry I haven't been updating. I've had so much work to do for uni as we're rapping up for the summer in a weeks time. I've also had to work (gotta get that money) and to top it off I've had a cold, so I was not in the right frame of mind to make a post. I promise, after all of this uni stuff is out of the way, I will start blogging properly again.

I've just watched the season finale of 'Lost'... Why do they always end it like that??? I actually enjoyed the episode this time, as usually, I only watch it to see if any of my questions are answered, and of course they're not. But this time round, even though my questions weren't answered apart from how the 6 got off of the island, I was sat infront of the telly with my mouth open (but that was because my nose is blocked and I can't breath any other way- I look like such a retard).

anywhoo, I'm off to bed now. I've gotta wake up early so I can snatch a sewing machine and workspace at uni-I need to get my dress done!

EDIT: Oh no they didn't! For the past several weeks, Trouble have been advertising 'Girlfriends' season 7 as the new series even though though they have shown it before, but rather than showing season 7 they took it back to season 1!!! I mean I love 'Girlfriends' and everything but there's only so many times I can watch that episode of them fighting outside the club with the 'bald headed bitch' whilst Joan looks on in despair. After I finish watching 'Lost', I change over to Trouble +1 only to find that they're now showing season 8!! and I missed episode 1 and the best part of episode 2. I'll have to set my Sky+ to record the repeats tomorrow.
Vent over.

Stuff...

Hmmm, I felt the need to post today even though I have nothing to say so I'm gonna ramble about random things...


Gladiator Sandals




I'm starting to think that I must be the only one that doesn't like gladiator sandals. Don't get me wrong, they look good on some people but I personally feel that they should be left to General Maximus Decimus Meridius. The other week, me and some friends decided to do a spot of shopping, and as soon as we saw the sandals, my girls went ape shit over them. They kept on asking me if I liked "this one" or if I liked "that one" and I just about managed to force a smile and say "It looks alright".

Ladies, If you can pull em off, then by all means wear them. But if you're wearing them just because 'Look' magazine says they're hot this summer (which I don't get cos they've been around for quite a while now) then please reconsider buying them.

(edit)

Marc Jacobs @ CSM

*sighs* I missed the 'Marc Jacobs in Conversation' at Central Saint Martins on Monday evening... story of my life. The tickets sold out before I could even say "LV Speedy", and I heard he gave a good talk as well. Mister Lego over at BNTL has given a run down of how it went along with some pics... he also put me on blast for not getting at him.

I saw this..

... and thought I'd take a picture. But it's been sitting in my camera for well over two weeks now. It is-or should I say WAS Topshop's 'Superhero' window to coincide with the Met costume Gala.

I'll just let everyone know that I have a thing for shop windows-especially Zara and Topshop's window displays. So don't be surprised if you start to see more posts like this.

I apologise for it being so hard to see. I took it in 0.35 seconds or something because I was in a mad rush to get to uni and everytime I held the camera up someone would walk right in front (It is Oxford street after all).

Allow me to introduce myself...

You can call me Ella. I'm a 19 year old fashion obsessed student from London town. You can find me at uni-London College of Fashion, at work : ( Oxford street, Brick lane, museums, gigs or sitting behind my beloved laptop.

I really should have written this as soon as the blog went up-but I don't really talk about me that much, but I'll have to start doing so soon because I want to make this blog a bit more personal. I used to blog before (I've had two blogs in the past-I get bored easily), but now this blog is my way of keeping on top of things going on in the fashion industry. I am not a writer-repeat I.AM.NOT a writer, so don't take things too seriously.
