The collection which will be released before Summer encompasses two of my most favourite things - polkadots and the colour red. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;">Whilst the polkadot phase hit the catwalk in 2011 with designs by Stella McCartney, one would have thought that polkadots are "so last season darling". But this is not so! Jacobs' designs are pretty, sophisticated and timeless; therefore it's safe to say that I believe polkadots will never go out of season.</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"> <span style="text-align: center;">As I previously mentioned, I also love the colour red. It all started last September, when my mum bought me my first ever Chanel lipstick - "Passion". Since then, I am now apparently known for wearing red lipstick and heels. My lecturers have even pointed out that I focus a lot on the colour red in my photography. Perhaps I'm just attracted to the glamour that the colour represents. I love Jacobs' collection as the pieces are simple yet striking, and I'm sure wearing a piece that bold would make me ooze with confidence. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It signifies the year the Olympics come to London and, supposedly, the year the world will end. However, on a less depressing note, 2012 brings a fresh start to the fashion industry.<br />
<br />
Going out to celebrate the turn of the new year with friends at good old Toast, Lancaster's infamous nightclub, the fashions of 2011 became evident with animal print, bold colours and sequins being worn by the majority.<br />
<br />

However, after the first viewings of the Spring 2012 collections it seems there are new trends on the horizon!<br />
In terms of colour, pastel pinks, neutrals and whites will make a comeback this year. Moving on from the animal print trend, safari styles are set to be big, with designs from Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta leading the catwalks.<br />
<br />

Also, 2012 sees the return of femininity with detail and embellishments, perhaps my favourite trend forecast of 2012 so far as I too have a feminine style. Examples of this come from designers Prada and Dolce & Gabbana.<br />

</tbody></table><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> Something different to hit the fashion industry is the new sports style with designers such as Versace bringing a new meaning to sportswear for stylish, sporty women around the world. Whilst I don't see myself as the particularly "sporty" type, I am a fan of the structure and fit of the clothes. I'm also not particularly a fan of baseball caps, however even these managed to hit the catwalks this season on multiple occasions!<br />

</tbody></table>Last year saw the return of the 1940's glamour trend. This year however, fashion is moving back in time once again to the 1920's. In particular, designers such as Roberto Cavalli show off latest designs with drop-waists and sequins, imitating almost flapper-style dresses. Perfect for nights out!<br />

This year promises exciting times for fashion. Along with these trends, new ones such as loose fit jeans and bermuda shorts are set to be big this year. However, personally I'm not a fan of the baggy look. Despite this, I can't wait to see if any of these trends really take off, or if anything else crops up throughout the year! Fashion really is ever changing.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>So bring it on 2012! I'm determined to make the most of every opportunity that arises. Travel in particular will be a big part of this year for me, with a trip to New York in Feb (running alongside NY Fashion Week) and a trip to Barcelona over Easter already planned, I can't wait to experience new places and especially new fashions! </div><div><br />

My budget will pretty much only stretch to Primark right now! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">However, the prospect of a less expensive offspring of Chanel excites me incredibly!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">Yesterday, a page was launched on </span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">www.net-a-porter.com</span></a><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> to launch Karl Lagerfeld's new collection 'Karl', which will be released on 25th January next year. The site shows previews of the collection - monocrome colours, pleated skirts, and tailord suits; pieces clearly showing similarities to those of true Chanel. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">The new collection has already raised hype, with a countdown on the main page counting down the days until the collection is released. People who are interested in the release can sign up to 'Karl's Kult' where they receive emails about the collection and the chance to enter competitions. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MTKqokb0aps/TuvRcn-TduI/AAAAAAAAAHY/m6METEmk8ZM/s1600/karls+cult.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="100" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MTKqokb0aps/TuvRcn-TduI/AAAAAAAAAHY/m6METEmk8ZM/s320/karls+cult.png" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">There is also the opportunity to download a new iphone app, where people can play 'Find Karl' (imagine Pacman without the creepy ghosts) where you have to collect all of the Karl heads before the timer runs out. The winner will win up to £1000 to spend on </span><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">www.net-a-porter.com</span></a><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">, with Karl choosing the winner himself next month. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">Another exciting element is to 'Karlify' yourself, by uploading a picture wich will then transform you into an aviator and white collar wearing, white headed man. Supposedly. Again, Karl will choose his favourite in January.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
</span></div><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: magenta;">So there it is, another exciting collection to look forward to! It seems Karl Lagerfeld seems at home with making collections for people who can't afford the elaborate prices of Chanel. In 2004 Karl was the first to collaborate with international fashion brand H&M, with the aim to create mass appeal for the brand. However, he claimed he would never work with H&M again.

My Fashion Icon.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8tw78NNZKj0/TuIvjdO5DZI/AAAAAAAAAHA/xtd5mzzNyh4/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8tw78NNZKj0/TuIvjdO5DZI/AAAAAAAAAHA/xtd5mzzNyh4/s1600/3.jpg" /></a><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">Ok ok ok, I think it's about time I write this on here. Some people who know me, in particular Miss Victoria Fawcett, know that I seem to have a little obsession with Evita. It's not really an obsession, more of a fascination I believe. It's not so much about the musical film either (starring Madonna) but more so the life of Eva Peron herself - a true fashion icon.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">At the age of just 15 Eva Peron moved to the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina (also known as the Paris of South America) to live her dreams as an actress. It was here that she fell in love with Juan Peron, who became President of Argentina a year after they were married. She was an inspirational and powerful woman. Starting off as an actress, her links with politics soon led her to successfully push for a woman's right to vote and the legalisation of divorce. She particularly specialised in helping the poor classes, spending millions to improve their lives.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">She is also inspirational in the fashion world. Similar to Gabrielle Chanel, Eva was one of the first Argentine women to wear trousers in public. What she was most known for, however, was that she wore clothes designed by some of the world's most influential designers. As Eva did so much work for the lower classes, apparently many designers would hide the fact they designed for her, worrying that this would annoy some of their most elite clients.</span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T8qILAptc-A/TuIvlUP6-5I/AAAAAAAAAHI/mYPbsWuJjoI/s1600/evaperon012409300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T8qILAptc-A/TuIvlUP6-5I/AAAAAAAAAHI/mYPbsWuJjoI/s320/evaperon012409300.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="color: black;">She was loved and loathed in Argentina. Some of the upper class thought of her as a hypocrite "for wearing Dior and diamonds whilst allying with the poor". However, the majority of the lower classes found her an inspiration with her "rags to riches" story.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">After her premature death in 1952, Eva Peron still has influence over the fashion industry. A 2010 collection by Jorge Ibanez was inspired by Evita; with fabulous ball gowns, hats, diamonds and lookalike models. The whole show oozed Eva's glamour, and there was even a dramatic ending. Valeria Lynch, the first Argentine singer to play Eva Peron in Andrew Lloyd-Webber's musical production 'Evita' sang 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' on a balcony overlooking the catwalk - wearing an Ibanez suit of course.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Eva Peron is definitely my favourite icon of past times, as I admire her dedication to society and the fashion industry. Upon being asked what he would have designed for Eva if she were still alive today, Ibanez replied without hesitation "I would have made her a black velvet dress with a touch of crystals. It would have been fantastic." A dress which I believe sounds the epitome of early 20th century glamour.</span> <br />

Thank God for that. <br />
The project I've enjoyed the most, and I'm probably most proud of is Photography.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">The last photoshoot I did was named Colour Story. Focusing on the colour red, I went for a wander around freezing Newcastle (which ended up turning into a lunch date with my friend Bek in M&S) snapping anything that caught my eye. Of course, using Bek as my muse. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">FINAL PRINTS</span><br />

Literally two minutes ago I got criticised for already publishing a 'Christmas' album on facebook. But I don't care. At exactly 6:30pm, the streets of Newcastle were gleaming with the shiny reds and sparkling golds of Christmas lights. The setting was perfect, crowds of people gathered around Grey's Monument to witness true Geordie and X Factor winner Joe Mcelderry make the switch. After singing the Wham classic 'Last Christmas', Newcastle was brought to life with Christmas cheer; Santas and elves running through the streets creating an atmosphere that anyone would enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Going with friends Bek and Andrew, we decided to wrap up all cosy and warm in our furs! I love winter fashion... even though finding the perfect pair of winter boots is a nightmare. This was the first of hopefully many festive occasions to come, and for anyone who missed out here are some pictures :)</span><br />

The air is getting cooler, the nights are getting darker and the trees have been put up creating a festive scene around Newcastle. The other day I was in the lift of my accommodation having a lovely chat with one of the cleaning ladies. Dressed in my cosy red coat and my black boots (Mrs Klaus-esque, perhaps?) the cleaning lady proclaimed "Oh, you're making me so excited for Christmas right now!" It hit me then... Christmas is coming!!<br />
I've always been one to get over excited around this time of year, and I especially look forward for the seasonal clothes to hit the high street! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">So, tonight I have been browsing the web (as per) looking for the perfect festive outfits I could invest in for this occasion...If my poor student funds will allow it.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">As usual, it seems sequins and sparkles are all over the high street. I am a complete and utter sucker for all things glitzy and glam so this is DEFINITELY my favourite time of year!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Here are some of my favourites...</span><br />

The lack of recent posts is a reflection of how busy I've been! Living with 3 other girls I thought could be challenging however I am sure I have THE nicest flatmates, Beth, Ash and Crissi which has made the transition to uni much easier for me! Of course I miss home as well, especially my mum who is my best friend, but it's nice to know that she's excited for me here! </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple;">Ash, Beth, Crissi and me - Flat 57 Girliess! <3</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table> <span style="color: black;">Of course the main reason I am in Newcastle is to study! Absolutely loving my course at the moment - Fashion Communication! I was destined to work in the fashion industry since I was little as I've always had a passion for it and I'm so glad I followed my heart! I find the course fascinating, focusing on journalism, photography, branding and installation at the moment is giving me skills and confidence to pursue a career in this field. And with the possibility of a trip to New York Fashion Week in February I am literally about to burst with excitement!! The girls on my course are lovely as well which makes my lectures even more entertaining and enjoyable! A recent photoshoot with Megan and Vicki turned into cocktails at the Slug and Lettuce on the Quayside - I will definitely be doing this more often! </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">I think Photography is something I'll definitely pursue as I have a particular interest in styling and like to think I have a creative eye, so here are a few of my photos I have taken so far to end this post! I will keep you updated about anything exciting that happens here, as I'm sure there will be many more exciting times to come! </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">But for now, bye from Newcastle! xxx</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;">The dress is by designer David Koma, nude in colour with large black spots running down both sleeves. His Autumn/Winter 2011 collection shows a recurring theme of spots (which I love). I'm going to keep my eye on him!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">Jessie J is definitely one of my style icons. She's adventurous with both her style and her singing, and doesn't care what people think. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;">"But thank you for the pain, It made me raise my game, and I'm still rising" - lyrics which make her role model material. She is definitely an inspiration, and after seeing her perform live at V fest last week (amazingly might I add) she is a new favourite artist of mine.</span><br />

BEYOND mascara'. Never had a mascara like it, I shall even consider ditching the false eyelashes on a night out! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">I was first introduced to Benefit when I lived in Florida (where everything was half the price), and was particularly drawn to its funky packaging, like most 15 year old girls would be.

Whilst being a hit on both the catwalk and highstreet in the Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 season, it seems that this fashionable shoe is yet again ready to fill the shelves of many highstreet stores around the country. Being a "heels girl" looking for some mid-heels I could wear throughout the day, I anticipated that it would be hard to find a pair of brogues to suit my taste, however I stumbled across this lovely pair today in Dorothy Perkins. I also have a thing for anything patent, so they were pretty much a perfect find! <br />

I may have been only 2 years old having my cheeks squeezed by a kind auntie but little did she know that this was the start of a 19 year love affair with the fashion world.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Aged 3, Mum says I insisted on fairy dresses and sequin shoes. Aged 8, it was all about Catwalk Barbie and staging my own show with my collection of dolls. Bored in a maths lesson, my favourite doodle was intertwined double C's. By age 14, my friend and I began styling photoshoots - wishing we could be Anna Wintour. I so hoped for a school blazer that somehow would compare to a Ralph Lauren one I had seen in Selfridges, but had to make do with a woolly jumper instead. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Five years later I have never been more certain that a career in fashion is for me. Lancaster to Newcastle here I come, with hopefully a few stops in New York and Milan on the way. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Carrie Bradshaw watch out - I too will go to the Met Costume Institute Gala as a paid up member of the fashion community!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/817725277731031199-1595826610636552455?l=behindthesehazeleyes2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>BehindTheseHazelEyeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14880904740404706963noreply@blogger.com0
