Bora Aksu

I recently bought a huge load of fabric which I'm going to be using for making clothes to sell on my shop alongside my other items. I've never actually made an item of clothing for anyone other than my family before so it's definitely going to be a challenge making sure everything is perfect (I've already started to get frustrated at myself!) but I'm hoping to have some things finished by the end of the summer. Hopefully you'll like them and might even go as far as making a purchase...! On another note, I'm looking for new TV series' to watch and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations? 

So the designer I have chosen today is Bora Aksu. He has been one of my favourite designers for a while now and it's a surprise I haven't done a post on him yet. His designs might not be the most exaggerated or 'out there' but they are incredibly well made (I wish I could sew as well as this!). If you like the collections below, I would definitely recommend having a look at some of his earlier collections as well (which are personally my favourites) here.

Baby it's cold outside...

Hello again! It was freezing today (literally), but luckily I managed to venture outside (for as short a time as possible) to take a few photos of my outfit.  I'm wearing a shirt that my mum bought me for Christmas (from a charity shop). It's perfect for just throwing on and pretty much goes with anything so it's perfect. I'm also wearing a skirt from Primark which I managed to buy for only £8, which I think is pretty damn good considering there are plenty of similar skirts out there for loads more. I love the shape it has (again another item which you can mix and match with) and it has a slight metallic silver colour to it which is a bit more interesting than plain black. My tights are actually my only designer item I own. They're from Bora Aksu (pretty much my favourite designer) and I bought them in the sale last year for only £15. I've worn them loads so I'm surprised they haven't produced lots of holes yet!
