Who's been a bad blogger?

Wednesday, 26 May 2010 |

I have! I'm so super sorry for not posting in a few days. My internet got cut off because the bill wasn't paid D=
In my absence, I've become addicted to Sex and the City. I'm taking my mom to see the new movie next Wednesday so I thought I'd watch a bit to catch up on the story. And I can't stop watching.
I can't get over how close MCM Expo is now. I'm so super excited and my nails look so sexy painted red for my cosplay. Mmm <3
I got a letter from a college I applied to today. You may remember from this post that I already got accepted at a college but I got told I'd have to do an art course definately in order to one day do fashion design. So, I applied for another course at another college to see if I could get in. Well, as I mentioned, I got a letter from them. Unfortunately, it was to reject me from the college. It said that they had a large amount of applicants to the college and that I wasn't able to attend this year.
Now, I'm faced with a decision. I've looked at all of the other colleges in the area and there are no other courses that I'm interested in doing. Do I go and do the art course? Or do I take a gap year, get a job and apply again next year? I'd like to know what you would do! Since you guys are so awesome <3

Also, I just came across the giveaway over at "Moments like Diamonds" called the "Bad Blogger" giveaway. How fitting for this post?! So click over and join in! Awesome! The prizes are so super cute. I want them! >w<

That's me off. Enjoy the rest of your week and your weekend!
Over and out! ;D

Fashion Design!

Friday, 12 March 2010 |

So I got into that fashion course at college on the condition that I improve my drawing.
Here's where you will get to see just how much I improved in the last week:


The one on the left is the first drawing I did of the design. It's very cartoony and unrealistic. The one on the right, however, is more realistic and drawn on a "fashion figure" which I learned to draw from this video. A cute and simple dress for any day which I plan to make in the following colours:
Black x White
Pink x White
Lilac x White

Here are a few more designs I've done using the same "fashion figure".
(Left) I've actually already made this skirt, out of this fabric which is available at FabricLand for £2.49 per metre.
(Right) This sundress is one of my more simple designs with the top lined with small silver rhinestones as shown. It will be made in pastel pink and yellow with the bow being the alternate colour (pink bow on yellow dress etc.)

So, I'd really like to know what you think! Also, please let me know if you have any ideas. I'd love to hear them and maybe I'll draw them up. Most of my designs will be made at some point and I'm thinking of designing something for a giveaway! Made to your measurements!! Exciting!
Criticism is welcome, don't be shy. If you think something should be added, changed or taken away, please do say so.

Have a lovely weekend my friends!

My Super Cute Giveaway Prize! + Fashion Design!

Wednesday, 10 March 2010 |

As some of you may or may not know, I won first place on Naka's Net's New Year Giveaway! Yay!
I really didn't mind what prize I got but I'm super happy with my new stuffs, especially the super cute bag! I have much love for Miss Naka's blogs.

My super cute bag (KYAAAAA >w<), Hello Kitty Lip Gloss, Jemma Kidd lip gloss, Maybelline eyeshadows, kawaii bear socks and star buttons :3

I'm using that bag for everything from now on, I love it so much. 
Thank you Miss Naka for holding such an incredible giveaway and for the fantastic prizes!

And you may know already but I applied for a Fashion Design course at a college near me. At first they told me my drawing skills weren't very good and that I need to practice so they suggested an art course for me. But nope, I don't want to waste a year doing something I could learn in a few weeks so I've got until August to improve my drawing. Then I can go back and show them and maybe they'll let me in.
I'll post some pictures very soon of some of my designs and I'd really like to know what you think of them. So please, check back for them!
As always, have a great week! And look forward to the weekend, woot!

Tea Please!

Sunday, 7 March 2010 |

Image from WeHeartIt

Yesterday was brilliant. Not only was the weather fantabulous, but going to Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard uncovered a wonderful opportunity for me. I visited their Georgian-style Tearoom. The Georgian is a lovely, light tearoom attached to an Antiques Storehouse (which we had a peek into as well, some really grand things in there) where they have a range of wonderful leaf teas, coffees, cakes and sandwiches, perfect for a spot of afternoon tea. I indulged in a lovely Rose Oolong tea (2 sugars and a dash of milk) while Dave went for the smokey Gunpowder tea (black, with a sugar to chew on after) in some fine white teacups. 
My Rose Oolong Tea :)

We did plan to have a slice of cake, but completely forgot! Perhaps our tummies weren't feeling it. But it was a really lovely experience and the tea was simply divine! I will have to see if Whittard Of Chelsea has a similar tasting tea for me to have at home. And of course, I'll get a traditional teapot (probably a 2-cup one. We own a 6-cup Victorian one already) to make my leaf tea in! Lovely, lovely! 
I will be arranging a Lolita Tea Party at some point, I can't wait for it! 

Anyway, we also visited the Spinnaker Tower! Well, we stood outside of it and took pictures!  
I love how blue the sky looks!

But yea, I had a super Saturday! I love going out and about with Dave, it's so fantastic ! I'll be adding more pictures to this post soon, including one of me carrying the tea tray like a little maid-chan, so keep checking back! 
Also, I have my college interview tomorrow for my Fashion and Design course! Wish me luck guys!

Have a wonderful week!

Still Sick

Still Sick

I was off college again today, my chest still hurts a lot and my throat is burning. It hurts to even drink water. I got my hair trimmed this morning, nothing really interesting.
They finished the loft today. We also finished our commission for Bloom's Ball Gown. More about that will be posted on my cosplay blog tomorrow... or something. I'm really tired, I don't think I'll be getting up early tomorrow.
Seeing Mikey on Friday, only a couple of days now! Yippee! Hopefully, I'll be better by then. I don't like being ill.
WE SHALL DRINK AND WE SHALL SING!!!!!!11oneuno
Hehe <3
Love you Mikey!
I also started watching the new summer anime Princess Lover! today. It's quite good, but the censoring can f'off.
NO SHIMAPAN = NO HAPPINESS!
I love you Nik, by the way.

Love Love,

Posting at school makes FreyaFreya a dull girl

Posting at college makes FreyaFreya a dull girl

Ah, the sound of the fire bell tells me it is Friday today ^^ (They set it off every Friday to check it works... like 3 or 4 times a morning)
I got in the car this morning and FUCK, there was ice on the windscreen! >< When did it get so cold? I am NOT looking forward to winter...

So my weekend is set with all sorts of fun plans ^^ Tomorrow I am going shopping with my family. Hoping to get some new shoes to go with the lovely new jeans I got on Wednesday and a Black Parade jacket (I'm not an MCR fan, I just like that jacket >3>)
Then tomorrow evening, I'll be hanging with Miku-chan, possibly just going out for a drink or something. Nothing particularly exciting but still very fun ^^
Sunday I'm going to the car boot sale in Bursledon again, scoping out dance games for my collection. Then Roxas is coming over for a visit ! Exciting weekend ! (♥)

College is boring. It's times like this that make me wish I was still at school. It was quite fun compared to this. ><
