The Verb Collection

Saturday, February 23, 2013

This all started with a design that has been living in my head for the last few weeks, based around the verb "to love". So today I decided to commit this design to paper, and then a few others... 

So here we are: 

Image
(Just a quick note the translations go in this order: English, French, Italian)

to love, adorer, amore

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

to maximise, maximiser, massimizzare

Image

Image

Image

Image

to play, jouer, giocare

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

to dress, habiller, vestire

Image

Image

Image

 

And there you have it my first proper crack at designing! Now to make them a reality... I will save that for another day or two.

brybri dave j giles day to night eddplant fashion gig ootd the upload tour tom law youtube

#TheUploadTour

#TheUploadTour or in other words what to wear at a gig during the non-summer months.

So yesterday I went to "The Upload Tour" which had 4 youtubers and singer/songwriters were performing! It was quite an intimate gig (You got to talk to the acts and hugs them etc.) And I cannot put into words how excited I was about the fact the gig was on a boat! It was on a BOAT, that in itself was amazing, don't get me started on the fabulous music.

One minor hiccup which earned me a new nickname, Dave J Giles picked me out, asked my name (Miriam), misheard and called me Maria...

The Acts with their linked you tube chanels:

Tom Law: http://www.youtube.com/user/tomlawmusic
BriBry: http://www.youtube.com/user/BriBryontour
Eddplant: http://www.youtube.com/user/eddplant

Now for what to wear!

Image

As I was meeting a friend during the day first I went for an outfit that was easy to switch between day and night!

Image

Image

Quick change into a Tom Law tee half way through followed by the addition of a wristband and a signed Tom Law EP and I think we are done!

xo xo Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey

Saturday, February 16, 2013

Ahhh Jenny Humphrey, always younger yet wise beyond her years, with almost impeccable taste in clothes.

So here is the outfit mine is loosely based on, I mean loosely!

Image

 

I have taken idea of a pink dress with a casual jumper and created this:

Image

This dress was originally purchased for a wedding and it took the above idea for me to wear it again! I hope I can find other new ways to wear it as well, as I don't think it gets enough outings! 

Image

Jumper - Topshop
Dress - Angel Eye
Belt - New Look
Tights - H&M

chanel coffee dancing design fashion lipstick pencils surprise

Dancing Pencils

Saturday, February 09, 2013

So this was the year it all began, a life many have seen before changed in some ways for the better in some ways for the worse. As with all good tales it began with morning and ended with the coming of night. But this is not a story of love lost or found, it isn't a story about love at all, not in the kind that we humans wish for. 

The day began with an idea, and a pencil. One well manicured hand danced the pencil over the page creating something new, lines and blurs collided leave all but a design. A design begging to be made, that caused a desire in the artist that she had never felt towards anything let alone an idea of her own.

P.S. Surprise yourself daily

The first in a series of posts! If you follow my twitter (@coffeechanel) you will know I have been dressing in the style of a Gossip Girl character every day this week! So over the next few weeks I shall be posting a "how to"/fashion guide to my 3 favourite characters Blair Waldorf, Serena Van Der Woodsen, and Jenny Humphrey.
