The collars of this month

DIY Miu Miu style. Simply stitched two lycra lace swatches I had around the collar.
Of course it needed a bow to finish it off

I went for the whole preppy geek look. Yes thats a Ralph Lauren jumper and shirt but as I explained I was feeling prep/geek. Actually had someone shout nerd at me! What ever happened to freedom of clothing. Its just as important as freedom of speech right?

Ive been soo busy with college stuff these last few weeks.Its so exciting but very tiring! I worked out I spend 4 hours a day travelling (two hours to get there, then two hours to get back!) but I think its worth it. Am obsessed with twitter at the moment. According to nearly everyone I tweet complete crap (twap as I said the other day), which is true I guess but isnt that what twitter is for? Its half term now :D Got a project to do though which will keep me busy. Also planned to finally get to Bicester outlet village near Oxford. Anyone ever been? I shall blog any bargains I may find but of course it will probaly get posted to twitter first! Just to remind you all my twitter is www.twitter.com/VivaLaSophieG Anyone got anything great planned for next week?

College girl

I offically am a fashion student at Reading College. I have the student card to prove it! I feel so grown up now as we are given alot of freedom and responsibilty. On the first day(Tuesday) I was really surprised to be given an assisment due in tomorrow (Friday!)The brief was to, in a group, design and make an outfit to a theme of our choice. We choose an African Tribal Carnival theme. I think with only the two days we have had to make it, it looks really good! I made the main front part of the top which was attached to a back panel with the bow on.To be honest its all amazing! I was lucky to have been part of a great group who all had different strengths which helped to create our outfit
As you can see the neckline is really low we thought it linked in with our carnival theme as carnival costumes are normally show alot of flesh. I added darts to give it a tighter fit

Our headress(if thats what its called)! The leaves are beginning to brown :( But as someone said earlier it gives it a "rustic" feel

Love love love this bow!
