perfect day for stupidity


Last night I was rolling around in bed and had finally reached 5am which was the last figure I saw on the clock until I was back out of bed 7am to get ready for college. Ran out the door, missed the train, left the college trip early due to the inabilty to string a sentence together. After various wrong busses/trains home and changing through 8 towns I got home for an hour break before I went to meet my friends in the park. We messed around using my friends video camera, eventually admitting defeat to the weather decided to part ways. Fourtey minutes passing and my bus didnt turn up, jumped on one that remotely went near somewhere I could get transport home then decided to walk home. This is what walking home with the mental age of 2 hours sleep looks like.


Moany old post, not only will tomorrow be a rich in sleep day but will be a positive post day! The only way is up! X

Bubble dress

Following last nights TO-DO! Found it quite useful really. My bosses are therapists and write a yearly to-do list and try to accomplish goals through out the year. They do a half year review and grade themselved out of 10 on how much they tried on each goal which is really good for not beating yourself up about it. At the end of the year it will be good to share you mine and the rest of the new goals for 2011. But here's the list from yesterday:

Ticks, crosses, excuses


As for the 'pick outfit for tomorrow' it's semi-here, I cut the collar off an old top, I should of done a post today but literally lept into bed as soon as I came home from college today.



Collar-less + corsage

Ebay items on their way, Sending off a collar and necklace paypal have put my account on hold for goodness sakes, over £3.25 the miserable petty fools. GIMMIE MA MONEY!

I actually got this out of the way today. A huge bubble dress I made for my first project that's been sitting round college and I've been too worried to take it back home on the train I finally did today!

Blagh?


Huff and puff it's a bit past midnight and don't know what to do with myself. Do you ever feel..just...I don't know....'blagh'? I've got a big old to-do list and am avoiding it and instead complaining about not knowing what to do. I blame this on sugar. I've had a few biscuits and this must be my sugar low of feeling completely uninspired. I might think of something. Off I go....

It's the taking part that counts...

Here is the poster of my lypsyl competition that I entered a while back.




I didn't win but how lovely was it when I saw the post today and found these 'taking part' goodies. The entry specification was to make something retro, friendly and to have an incorporation of the Lypsyl logo...here is the winning design

LCF Flexible factory

I was so intrigued when I heard about this fashion show going down at the plaza on Oxford Street. London College of Fashion’s Flexible Factory part time degree course showcased last week. How on earth are they going to do something like that in the Plaza? Models walked from one of two pop up shops belonging to LCF (one placed on top of the other ) up the escalator and out to the other shop on the top floorI was so intrigued when I heard about this fashion show going down at the plaza on Oxford Street.

goodday to you



Hi girls,

Necklace is own creation which will be put in the shop http://www.graydonwhite.co.uk





I got a few emails around the same time and it's kind of hard to guage who sent it first because of the different time zones etc. So in todays give away this sweetheart bracelet the requirements are the same but I will just pick out at random in a hat. Also, girls some of you emailed me and are not in my list of followers make sure you read the post carefully. So new followers, email me your name, blog name, adress (to ljocullen@gmail.com) and I will put you all in a hat. See todays give away.



The tooth necklace is going to Katie.S in London. Congrats x

Bribes

Days outfit showing necklace design





There's some interviews I want to do but don't have enough followers to convince the people that it is going to be read so i'm going to do a giveaway to attract some more. Existing followers don't worry your loyalty will be rewarded in due course. As you know I own my own online jewellery shop, the first new follower plus an email stating their details, (adress) etc will get this tribal tooth necklace in the style of Kate Moss







I will be doing this for another 4 days doing more give aways with the same concept so if you're not the first new follower in my inbox then you can bide your time and save it for the coming days.


Also I do some writing for a high profile blog as a designer and am doing a feature on proms. So I would like your prom/debs photographs. In return I will give the best entry this peter pan collar attachment pictured below. Competition closes Wednesday 15th September.



What I am looking for:


-Tasteful not tacky photographs


-Some sort of group photo


-Specifically, if you have any photographs of your dress on a hanger, EVEN MORE if it is on a hanger in a store (you will be told why)


Anyway more than anything just send as many as you can because then its more likely I'll find what I need.
