❤My Final Major Project❤

Everything is back to normal now! I'm back at college and has finally started my collection in my final fabric❤

Everything was going so well until my zip made a massive boo boo, I had to spend my WHOLE Friday's session unpicking my zip because my zip would not go up the waist! It's really horrible, and when it goes up... THIS happens!!
 
Thanks to my tutor Katie, everything is alright now! Even though it's not 100% perfect, but it's so much better then having a massive gap on the waist!
 
I've always dream of working in BTSSB or Angelic Pretty, working for something I love and being able to dress in lolita when I go to work. But when I started going to college doing fashion design, I've begin to lose interest in the whole fashion design business. I've always thought of fashion design as a hobby but since starting the course, fashion is nothing like I thought it was going to be. There are deadlines, critiques, and a whole bunch of paper work! And the amount of time I had thought of giving up because of the stress... As much as I love fashion and making lolita dresses, I really don't think I want to work in the fashion industry. I want to keep doing what I'm doing as a hobby, because I know I will lose interest in it if I do this as a career and have to do something in order to get me food and living!
But there are still so many things for me to learn and skills I need to develope,  pattern cutting and manufacturing etc. So I will keep going in order to be 100% in what I want to do~
Anyway, I'm still a child and I'm going to do what I need and want to for now!❤
Here's a sneak peek of my Outfit1 for my lolita collection: 
This is my petticoat which took me about 15 metres of netting create the amount of flare I wanted!❤
And Taa Daa~❤
And here's the dress for my lolita collection. The bow on the front is only pinned on so it's a bit off centre! The felt sweets on the bottom is also pinned on just so I could see how many I need. And I still have to attach the sleeves!❤ I'm so happy with something I've designed for the first time!

♡ Shopping in Birmingham♡

Last weekend, I was going to meet up with one of my friend from school. But she couldn't come because her dad is working and no one would give her a lift.
 
 At the end me and my family went shopping in Birmingham instead. I love the indoor fabric market in Birmingham, some of the fabric are absolutely gorgeous and the price are reasonable as well.❤ There are loads of lace and ribbon in there as well, just perfect for making lolita dresses.

Me and mum also went shopping at the Bullring, we had something to eat at muffin break and I had a chocolate chip cookie and a banana and strawberry smoothie! It was really nice❤
 
I have 3 days left till I have to go back to college...
and when I get back, I have 1 week to make one outfit toile and after that I have about 2 weeks to complete one of our outfit in our final for a photo shoot that will be in out fashion show program. I'm really stressed out about the whole situation at the moment.
 I need to finish most of my paperwork this week and start making out felt sweets that will be on one of my dress. But so far this week, I still have tons of paperwork to do and I have not even started making out felt sweets yet! I really need to get all my stuff together, I don't want to rush everything at the deadline.
 
❤I shall go and finish off my production journal now❤

Friday With Crystal❤

Last Friday, I went out to meet Crystal for the first time❤ She's also a fellow Harajuku Fashion lover, but she's more on the cult party kei side! We've decided to have a light lunch in a cute little cafe in our town.
 
That morning I woke up 2 hours early before I meet Crystal, since we've broke up at college for Easter. So I thought I will make some effort to do my make-up and hair! And luckily I woke up super early, because it took me 2 hours to actrully do my make up and hair.
❤A picture of me curling my hair❤
 
I have no idea why it took me so long to do my make-up and my hair. But at the end I was really happy with the result! I've used the eyelashes I bought from Chinatown ages ago.
 I've only used one pair so far. And it's my favourite❤ I love the dolly effect and the length of the eyelashes are perfect for me when I put my glasses on. They last quite a long time as well, I haven't changed my last pair for at least 4 months and they're still perfect!
❤10/10❤
 I also used the Vivian circle lenses to complete my look. They're my first pair of circle lenses and I really like them, they're really comfortable and the quite quite nice❤ I wanted a pair of lenses that are light brown and they did exactly what I wanted!❤
 
Somthing really funny happened when I was waiting for Crystal, A little girl and her mum came up to me and said that I look really cute and they wanted a picture with me~❤ But the thing is that I was in a my black coat and I'm pretty sure I looked quite casual. That little girl and her mum really made my day 100x better❤
By the way~ The GazettE is having a world tour in September,2013. However, they're not coming to England! I'm heart-broken~ but hopefully I will get a chance to see them when I'm in Japan❤

Courage

I've updated some more pictures of our latest product on to the Princess Lace Facebook page!
♡ Wrist Cuffs ♡
❤ The Sparkle Heart Wrist Cuffs ❤
These wrist cuffs would look lovely in the Princess Rose OP❤
I'm super happy how this pair has turned out! I loved the hearts in the middle, They reminds me of magic hearts with magic dust in them! The wrist cuffs are completely elasticated! So it will fit everyone❤
 
Sometimes I do wonder why am I starting my blog again~
And advertising about Princess Lace when I don't even have to courage to share my page out to people on Facebook!
Even though having my own shop and brand is my dream since I started doing Fashion at college. But sometimes I feel like no one is ever going to buy any of my products. I just don't have to confident to share my designs out to the world~ I wish I could have the courage!
I think designers are really amazing to be about to sending their designs on to the catwalk! I wish I could be just a bit braver and not having to worry about what people are going to think, but then again not everyone is going to like what you design.
