University and the Summer Project

I haven't posted on here in a while now so you will have missed my results day news on how my grades were and whether I got into Northumbria...

I DID IT!

I was quite shocked but I actually managed to get into Northumbria University in Newcastle with a D* in fashion and clothing, a D* in business studies and a B in art! As you can imagine I was absolutely over the moon. I still am!



But shortly after came the hefty equipment list and the summer project.

Don't get me wrong, my excitement is still very much alive! But forking over even more money than what I already have doesn't exactly have me thrilled. I've already spent a bomb on decorations and other things for my flat in Jesmond (eek!) and now I've spent even more on arty equipment, and I still don't have everything I need!

Now onto the summer project.

We've been given a little project to do before actually starting the course in September. We have to do observational drawings of 8 items from our wardrobe; this could be clothes, accessories or cosmetics. So far I have started (but not completed, oops) 6 items: a Barbour coat which was my dad's in the 80s, a Next tan leather bag, a silver Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, a floral top from Warehouse, a striped New Look shirt dress and my Rosie for Autograph perfume.








So far I am absolutely loving my summer project and if anything it has made me even more excited to start my course!
