Burgundy is the New Black

It may be summer, or thereabouts, but I'm not ready to let go of winter colours. Burgundy is definitely making its way into my wardrobe for some time yet - above is a Zara jumper with leopard print tights and an All Saints vest... and me attempting yoga. Another not so brilliant component is my wrist splint (inflamed tendon), which has been part of my outfits for the last month and shows few signs of disappearing! I am tempted to break out the fingerless gloves to hide it, but having a metal plate resting against your wrist isn't exactly subtle.

A Little Bit of Designing

So... in the middle of revision, I decided it would be the perfect time to try my hand at River Island Style Insider's 'Design a Blazer' competition. My inspiration was (as evident in very small grey print across the waistline) 'Another Brick in the Wall', so basically Pink Floyd. It took ages to make all those little bricks using the software, but the result turned out okay, apart from the rather sickly cream shade as a background - the closest I could find to mortar colour!
