RELIGION, DIP DYE & SALE BARGAINS!

I hope your all having a fine and dandy day? I got up mucho early today to try and get ahead of my work load so I've not done too bad! I'm off to Lounge Ten tonight for tea, so wanted to make sure I caught up before swanning off when I do, ideally need to work late!....eek.

Anywho, I wore this yesterday and was still freezing cold! I'm not sure whether its because I'm tired or it did actually feel like Winter in good ol' Manchester?? Anyway, the outfit is made of some black tights and a long sleeve black top which I've had years. I popped on my dip dye striped Pretty Disturbia skirt £39.99 with my Ant dip dye matching top (which is now in the sale for just £12.99!) I added some vintage white beads, my vintage patent boots and my much loved Grey, Religion jacket- £80 from The General Store to finish it off! ....Have a lovely evening peeps! x

VINTAGE PURPLE AND GOLD SHIMMER!

Well, I've just found out that Pretty Disturbia is through to round 3 of The General Store Competition!! Which means my interview last week was a success and I'm one of 3 Manchester based designers who have been chosen to showcase their collection on an exclusive fashion show on November 26th infront of the judges and press! I'm pleased as punch!!!...

In order to celebrate, I thought I'd take 5 minutes out of the mundane paperwork and accounts I'm updating to do another quick blog post!
So, this is what I wore on Sunday, which consists of another polo neck from H&M (£7.99), Navy leggings, Vintage purple leather boots and this fabuloso vintage dress which was another bargain at 50p at a car boot sale- (the same lady I bought the velvet 50p dress from too!) I glammed it up with one of my fave brown velvet belts which was £15 from Rags to Bitches and my investment Giorgio Armani hand bag (£600)
Now, I guess it's back to the accounts, whilst planning where to go out for dinner to celebrate, and more importantly- what to wear... ;)

STUDS, SLASHES AND DRIPS!

Well, last night I had an interview for the second heat of a competition at The (very fabulous) General Store in Manchester to potentially have Pretty Disturbia sold in the directional and stylish shop over Christmas, including PR and marketing support, and the opportunity to feature in an exclusive Fashion Show in November.
I love nothing more than to see my designs being strutted down a catwalk, there really is nothing like the amazing high you get from seeing the collection come to life under the spotlight. So fingers crossed peeps....

As it was a Pretty Disturbia day yesterday, I wore our best selling black body con drips dress which is hand dyed and only £42.99 from the online store. In addition to that, I teamed it with a chain belt worn as a necklace, my stunning italian studded and tassle designer boots which cost £250 and the Pretty Disturbia satin mesh and binding jacket which is £74.99 (and has only just been added to the website, this morning). All in all I felt smart yet punky which sums up the versatility of Pretty Disturbia and how it can really be dress up or down to suit any occassion....
