Watch this space...

So seeing as I finished a degree at university in fashion design, I thought that I might as well put my talents to use and start making bandeau bras for people to buy, all ready for a summers day or night out. I will also be making them as undergarments and knickers to match.


Each piece will be custom made to fit whoever wants to purchase and all will be made to order.
Prices will vary between £9 and £35.


SO WATCH THIS SPACE! Because samples will be up very soon and the new blog 'Cee Cee' will be the home of all the making and selling details of each item!

This is a very exciting time so be part of it!


Much Love, Carla xoxo

Inspiration.

Such an inspirational photographer, Jon Duenas series of photographs showing double exposure have really made me want to go out and just take photos. They are a mix between fashion and ordinary life mixing faces with natural elements.

Vintage.

At the moment I am totally skint, and there are so many items that are screaming at me to buy! Having an addiction to vintage online stores is lethal and today is no exception. Shoptarte.com and pretaportabello.com have some amazing finds. I'm always too late with Shoptarte because everything is ALWAYS sold out before I get a chance to see them. Maybe I should become one of these people who just sits by the computer waiting...

Here are a few items I am currently craving at shoptarte.com...

And at pretaportobello.com...

oh what I would do to win the lottery!

Collaboration

Here are a few images from a collaboration with Graduate fashion designer Jessica Roles (BA Hons Fashion Design - University of Glamorgan). This was a photo-shoot that I was approached to do for her after she saw my final images for the graduate submission. It was a very proud time as three other student designers also came forward wanting me to photograph their work in a studio setting. This shoot was a nice change as menswear is an area that hasn't been easy to practice.

Summer Colours

After reading fashion156.com's summer issue online, the colours for SS/12 really stood out. The images are absolutely stunning and are well worth looking at if you are a true fashion lover.

Beautiful photography really captured the colours and have a very summery effect. We all think about water and colour in the summer and these images really emphasise these elements.

So Much Fashion, So Little Money...

The only problem with fashion is there will always be something you love/need/want in your life. There are so many items in stores right now that scream 'buy me' but so little money to walk in and buy. If only everyone could win the lottery, life would be so much simpler. Until that day comes, working is the only way forward. Will just have to count pennies for a few months.

There is also the summer down-fall of needing to lose weight to get the bikini body everyone longs for. I happen to be one of the millions of people who fall into the loop of needing to diet and exercise to feel even remotely happy to step outside in short sleeves during the warm months and this year is no exception although I am highly determined that this year will be my year. Hopefully in the next few months I will not only be updating pictures of fashion finds but hopefully will eventually have myself in the picture wearing them.

As this is aiming to become a photo diary it makes encourages me to take more pictures and stop caring so much about little things, and will use this to show photo-shoots that are being worked on and are in progress, fashion that inspires me and all other things that are relevant day to day.
