Portfolio

Hope your all well!
As you can guess by the blogg tittle "confessions of a fashion lover" I am absolouteley crazy about Fashion. I know its something that I wish to do in my future and so I hope to join a university in September.
Some of you guys might have the same aspiration and so I thought that I would show some images of the portfolio (as I hope it helps, for me it was a struggle because I could find no place to start).
The themse (which you will see) is Culture and so I choose to look at the Indian culture as their clothes are quite different from the clothes we all wear in Britain today.
Enjoy :)


The theme was East meets West, so the mood board was based on
westernclothing. As  you can see, it rangesin colour, clothing items
and accessories. This could be a good start for you as a mood board
helps to inspire the future collection!



These were just ideas that were inspired from the mood board above.
Again the ideas are western due to the mood board.

I researched some designers and found Sobia Nazir. She is well known for her
collections and catwalks and so I chose her as I believed her designs would
inspire me.

These are some sketches I made from being inspired by Sobia Nazir.

Next I chose to look at Mariyam Haroon as she is well known for mixing
both Western and Eastern trends in her clothing.

These were the sketches I made based on inspiration from Mariyam Haroon.
This is a piece from the final collection which has been made.

Again, this is a piece from the final collection.

Another piece from the collection.


















So I hope you guys have found this useful.

 Hello everyone :)
So shoes, who does not love them? No matter what, you will always need them.
So why not be smart and buy them now before the season starts?
I have uploaded images of shoes that I believe are the right size and colour of the new coming season, Enjoy ;D
These beautiful suede immitation heels are from Forever21.
They are extremeley comfortable to walk in as they do not
hurt one bit. The green mint colour makes a beautiful additiion
as it means that these can be worn in both Spring and Summer.
This makes their £20 price truly worth it!!!
Why not wear these with some blue denim shorts and a white
Tank top?
If you ever want to make a statement, then these are the shoes
for you. The beautiful colours go well together and the actual
designs means that these shoes can be worn both in the daytime
and in the evening. They are only £12.99 in the H&M online shop.
Why not wear these gorgous shoes with an elecctric blue dress?


Flats are a necessity. These amazing flats are only £7.99 on the
H&M online shop.
Wear them with some chinos and a chiffon blouse!

January Sales - Clothes

The sales officially started a week ago but it is still not too late to make the most of it. I love shopping and so could not wait to hit some amazing stores (you know like H&M, Forever 21 etc.) and buy a new summer wardrobe.
I have decided to show some of the items found in the sale which I believe will be a great investment for you guys as its at an affordable price and the actual prints and colours will be huge this following spring/summer.
I hope you all find it useful and dont worry, this little shopping spree will not hurt your purse :)
As you can see the print is absolouteley beautiful.
The colours are bold making it perfect for summer!!!

This beauty of a shirt is from Forever 21. It was
bought at £12.99 which perfectly reasonable as it can
be worn in so many ways. Why not opt
for some black skinny jeans and a pair of sandals
or maybe some dark blue denim shorts and pink wedged heels?

This amazing top looks just like a
sweatshirt but the difference is that the
material is made out of chiffon. If you want this
top you can buy it from the New Look sale at only
£7. Now that something worth spending your money
on. This top would look gorgeous with some black
skinny jeans and some red converses.
What I absoluteley love about this material is
that it has the same print as my prom dress from
year 11. The print makes the sweatshirt easy to
wear when going out. how about some shorts
and heels?

The colours on the print go very well together
and with bold colours coming back this spring/
summer, this is a great choice for those who do
not prefer the bold tones.  The print itself makes it
suitable for both summer and spring. And at only
£12.99 its worth every penny.


You can not have a wardrobe without a
T-shirt from The Beatles!!! This beautiful
T-shirt was only £3.99 at H&M and will go great
with anything you can think of and
if your out of ideas then why not wear it as a
classic white shirt and blue denim outfit?


These are just a few of the items I bought a the sale. The total amount for these must shirts was £36.97. I hope you found the post interesting and till the next time ;)

Well this is my very first little blog so I thought I'd just say what the blog is about. As you can see by the tittle, I am crazy about everything fashion. So it is only natural for this blog to be about fashion trends, clothes, make-up and so on.
