I can't believe it's the end of July already. This year is moving too fast. I'm mentally still in March.

Save It For A Rainy Day
Today is hectic! We have model fittings at 9.30am for our tailoring individual. Needless to say, I am SUPER nervous about what the panel will have to say about my progress! Fingers crossed that it goes OK. I am planning a pitstop at Lindt Cafe afterwards so I have something to look forward to! xx

Draw Me
I spent the weekend drawing, cleaning up my pattern-making junk, patching together mood boards and enjoying pizza with some friends! Super ready for another week. x

The Definition of Chic
"Chic is one of the few things that, refusing to bow down and worship fashion, is not crushed under the wheels of that juggernaut. Chic is to fashion what poetry is to prose, cold veal to roast partridge, a gadfly to a bull. What is chic may, in a sense, be fashionable, but what is fashionable cannot be chic. Anybody can wear and do what is fashionable. It is not fashionable unless a lot of people do it, and have it on - until, in three words which grate rather hard upon the ear in this connection, it is common. Chic cannot be common. You cannot put on another person's chic, as you may her boots or her hat. You cannot copy it. You never know where to look for it. It has the quickness of a hummingbird and the vitality of an eel...If you are told that this or that isn't fashionable, and you are able to reply, 'No, but it's chic,' you have won the day."
