Princess Of The Ball

Well I am one very excited young lady as I have been invited to a party in a castle. Not any old castle but pekforton castle

 How lucky am I, it's such a beautiful place. The only dilemma I am faced with is WHAT DO I WEAR ! I didn't realise how hard it would be to find the perfect cocktail dress which say's WOW ! So I found a very old purple body con maxi dress, which I have decided I will sew crystals on to. I am not going to put the crystals on the dress so they cover it and look over the top I am going to graduate them so they are in bulk around the hem and reduce to less and less as they travel up the dress. Hopefully I can get this done before November.

COME TO TASHA !!! Well the only way I could possibly describe these shoes is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Love at first sight not only are they my favourite colour but they are perfect to wear with most outfits and would just make a little black dress. I would die and go to heaven if I could afford these shoes pay-day could not come sooner as they have just been put on sale, reduced from £140.00 to £39.00 could this sale be any more perfect ! Well yes if Kurt sent them to me for free a girl can only dream.

Lily's blog is the one I go to for fashion inspiration she's posting endless blog's about her fashion purchases and how to wear them. Most of the time I want everything that she wears she has a very grungy yet vintage fashion style and she wears them to make fashion statements but doesn't look outrages. Lily always lets you know where she has bought her outfits from and the accessories.
 As she is a professional fashion blogger she gets invited to lots of very exciting events her most recent being to London fashion week, I guess it's like getting the first look on the cat walk as she posts photo's throughout her day.

Imperial War Museum North.

I took a trip down to Manchester as my dad told me about the Imperial War Museum and thought I could take alot of inspiration from the visit. He wasn't wrong I was blown away by the museum it was incredible they had something from every war starting from the first world war to the war in Iraq today. As I walked into the museum the first thing I came across was a sculpture called The Crusader a spectacular seven meter high sculpture by artist Gerry Judah. His sculpture was his own summery of what he thought of the war and how he took it. My first take on the sculpture before reading what it was meant to represent was that it looked like a million spider legs all stuck to plaster of paris only to discover it had nothing to do with spiders.

I also came across what looked like a pile of burnt metal which was actually once a car. The car was destroyed by a bomb in a market centre in Baghdad on the 5th March 2007.

There was so much to this museum I could have spent all day there but I couldn't.

Crosby Beach !

Possibly one of the best days out iv'e had. Over the summer holidays I was dragging my dad here there and everywhere, which he wasn't to excited about due to the price of diesel but I managed to get him to a few places. Crosby beach has always been on my to do list of things I need to see ! Iv'e always seen images of it and thought how wonderful it looked and I finally got to go see it for myself. I was so impressed by the statues and they way they were eroding gracefully. All the statues are placed around the beach at different heights some of them are at waist hight and some of them our raised and about 6ft. As I wasn't sure how many statues there were I attempted to count them but there really was to many and there was new ones appearing further out in the distance. Here is a little on the artist who created there magnificent sculptures of himself. 

Another Place consists of 100 cast-iron, life-size figures spread out along three kilometers of the foreshore, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. Contractors spent three weeks lifting the figures into place and driving them into the beach on the-metre-high foundation piles.

The Another Place figures - each one weighing 650 kilos - are made from casts of the artist's own body and are shown at different stages of rising out of the sand, all of them looking out to sea, staring at the horizon in silent expectation.

I am really lucky I got to go see the statues and will most definitely be visiting there again apart from the chips were RUBBISH so I will be taking a picnic this time !
