Brussels bbz!

And so, on our final day away we all trekked to Brussels before getting the Eurostar sometime later. Brussels was, like Antwerpen, filled with the most beautiful buildings; intricately decorated with religious statues or gold detailing. However, also like Antwerpen, it was raining. So instead of having a relaxing stroll round the shops we all got sweaty and frustrated running around like crazy cat ladies trying to find some decent fashion shops. WHO DA KOOL KIDS NOW? ...not us.

STYLE FROM DE STREETS ON BRUSSELS...
(These pictures were all taken discreetly from a distance - please don't be alarmed - it was only because we didn't have much time + it was raining = I couldn't go up to every single person and ask. GOT IT? GD.)

In other news...
I'm not sure who this lil' joka' is but he kept appearing everywhere we went in Brussels

Here he is eating a waffle - keeping it casz (casual)

Therefore! My time in Belgium was that of an inspiring one. I got lots of ideas for my next textillian project whilst having a good time with the textile gals. I was going to buy their ELLE and VOGUE whilst I was out there although decided to buy these instead...

I will admit that I bought the one on the left just because it had Kristen Stewart on the front (LUFFIN HER) but both of these are filled with the most beautiful and dynamic fashion images that are so much more innovative than the type seen in English magazines. V.happy with those 2 bbes

I also collected various leaflets whilst I was away to fill up my own and my textile sketch books.

Not gonna lie, I counted them and theres about 80 here. BOSS!

This concludes my travels. BRILLIANT.

fanks bbes!

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who has been so complimentary about this blog so far. It means a lot and is encouraging me to write more - which btw is addictive!!

To not make this post so soppy and pointless, I just wanted to bring to your attention the July issue of ELLE with DAVID BECKHAM ON THE FRONT! He is their first male cover star ever and I think they made a good choice... although his crinkly forehead is sometimes annoying. There are 2 covers to chose from and - as my Mumma buys it fo' meh I had no input - I got this one. (Which is good because I would deffo have chose that one anyway!)

So sexy hmm yar

The July issue also comes with a FREEEE TOP from REISS. You get a choice of 3 different colours <<SO MUCH CHOICE IN LYF>> and again, cos my mum gets it for me I had no say in the matter. Although she did get the one that I would have chosen myself.

Amazing photog skillz

Oh yar de MINT GREEN ONE. There's also a peachy one and a grey one? BORING

I wore this today but had to put a white vest top underneath as the arm holes come down quite low in a strange sort of way so there was a lot of boobage on de front. NO THANKS. Then I also wore my NEWLY CUSTOMISED cropped jumper (see previous post) over the top and I was good to go.

I always buy ELLE magazine because, as much as I admire VOGUE and (therefore occasionally buy it), I find ELLE is a bit more readable for people my age... maybe I'm alone in this thought? I also get LOOK magazine every week as I would HATE to cut up ELLE magazine but have no probs in cutting up LOOK. I say cut up because I like to keep a little scrap book of fashion images...

With the images I focus less on WHO the person actually is (unless they're models) and
more on WHAT they're wearing. E.g. textures, colours, styling, cut

I have also recently started a mini-scrap book of leaflets that I collect out n' about. So that's kl yar.

Includes: some Lazy Oaf stickers and pictures of some Fimo figures I created for art along with some Bull Shit Soup (lol)

Thanks again for all the support I've had so far n' I shall be writing about some v.exciting tings very soon!!
