My Fashion Life

NEVER…how can anyone hate Carrie Bradshaw’s style. The petite actress can get it completely wrong…..but what can be admired is her originality. Yes some do copy her trends, take it overboard and completely ruin them, for example, the corsage. Within months everyone had flowers in their hair, on their tops, and on their trousers till it became worn out. Nevertheless Carrie is a fashion icon!

Sancha from Ghana :

“I want to be a fashion designer and a singer. I will design fashionable clothes and sing cool songs. I will give some of the money I earn to worthy causes.”

Silje from Norway :

“i want to be a designer or a singer… i love to sing and i am really facinated of fashion and clothes design…”

Clothes? Fashion? Art? Color? Do you love stores? Do you love making things? Those beginnings are real and true and honest and your challenge is to follow them, to let your real interests and desires be your guide. With that honesty comes success. How can you fail if you are doing what you love? I dreamt about a college… a place where learning was exciting and challenging and always at the forefront of what was happening in the world. I envisioned a place where thousands of people came to focus on and learn what they loved. The college would be imaginative, reality-based,and provide a great education. I’m living my dream.

Now it’s your turn. Find what you love. Do what you love. Your dreams are your road map. Follow them to the top of the mountain. It’s the most amazing view.

Friday is pay day and the first thing I did was run to the shops to try and spend what little money I had left after bills. Popped in to H+M and expected to find the awkward sized sale leftovers which look and smell as if they came from a dusty old chest. However I was pleasantly suprised they still had their fashionable summer clothes which is great as summer isnt over yet and whats the point of buying full priced tops and skirts when there is only 1 month left of the season to go…

Also their collection for autumn/winter’03 was excellent….found a great black and white sixities dress, a funky 80’s inspired t-shirt and a beautiful sequinned detailed vest top.

I’m in love with Hennes + Mauritz…check out a store near you….

Does anyone know where we can get info about Willie Shanks the fashion designer? All we could find was one website with a catwalk show of his collections.
