UNLIKELY STYLE INSPIRATION: #3 Maddie Magellan of BBC's Jonathan Creek
Please don't call me crazy, I know this one is pretty out there. But oh wait, she's another nineties character; what a surprise!
Played by Caroline Quentin, she was my favourite of Jonathan Creek's side kicks, but most will probably say that she is one of the least stylish or demure. She was, however, the one who inspired me to go and buy my current handbag. I searched for ages for one exactly the same as hers (which I believe is a 'Coach' bag) and I finally found a similar one in the fabulous vintage store Beyond Retro for a mere twenty quid. It's not even anything special, it's just a faded black leather bucket bag. I was just desperate for it the moment I saw her with it in the 'Jack in the Box' episode, and then every other episode for the next three series.
She did wear a few jazzy shirts as well that I wouldn't mind wearing myself.
UNLIKELY STYLE INSPIRATION: #2 Denise Royle
Famous for her laziness, excessive chain smoking and rather tacky fashion sense, this is one that is one of the most unlikely of mine. Even so, it was after I re-watched all of the original nineties episodes that I became obsessed with Caroline Ahern's character.
While I'm not quite drooling over her Adidas leggings or gold sovereign rings, It was the Royle Family character that inspired me to go out and buy a coffee coloured lippy and cut a fringe into my hair.
UNLIKELY STYLE INSPIRATION: #1 Rachel Green
Okay perhaps this one isn't so unlikely!
I've always loved the nineties, I think fashion wise it is one of my favourite eras. This is mostly because of how easy it is to dress: throw on a pair of leggings and an over sized shirt et voila! you're good to go.
Recently I've been watching a lot of the early episodes of friends after I got the box set for Christmas last year, and I have fallen even more in love with Rachel Karen Green. I mean she's always been my favourite, but before I hadn't realised how much effortless style she carried in the early episodes. She had a number of different styles, all of which I love. One is the cute high-waist mini skirts she wore with her little aprons which show off her incredible pins. Her laid back lounging outfits even made her look incredible. She often rocked the faded denim look too, and managed to pull of dungarees without looking like a small child (something i am yet to achieve).
I know she isn't a real person and all that but I just want to be her really.
NO MOTIVATION
I was really excited at the beginning of this corset research project but now I'm pretty fed up with it and I just cannot get into it at all.
Went to London for the day, which started off as a purely educational trip: visited the museums to get clued up for our corset project, it was all rather interesting. Although, in the end we decided shopping on Oxford street would be more fun!
Lovely trip to London with the contour girls!

So my second year has started already, and everything I do from this point onwards actually counts towards my actual degree... and right now I have a essay to write on the history of the corset, so i best get cracking
and the research has begun!
and the moral of the story is...
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR BACK UP! the worst thing that could ever happen 38 hours before my deadline, my portable hard drive has fucked up! Don't know if i've lost all my CAD work yet so i'm having to do it all over again just in case, and this is literally like a 6 week project that has taken me ages to do. This is work that did instead of going out in the sun. this actually would have been one of the only times that i had done my work in advance of the hand in date. BUT NO. I HATE MY LIFE SOMETIMES why do bad things always happen to me?
Currently drooling over Jeffery Campbells shoe collection and crying at my bank balance right now. All this being a skint student had better pay off in the long run!
