Polyester Magazine Launch Night

The mag istself!

Whilst the werewolves were running amok on the night of the supermoon, London's babeliest creatives were making their way down to Doomed Gallery in Dalston to celebrate the launch of Polyester Magazine.

On entry I was handed a sangria with a pineapple cocktail straw and whilst happily sippping I noticed that the majority of my Tumblr dashboard were there which was simultaneously really strange and really exciting. Despite queueing forever, I never got my free nail makeover but I did have loads of fun listening to Cheyenne Davide's DJ set and mingling with friends old and new. Overall it was a fab night and I would like to express my thanks to Ione Gamble and everyone who made it possible!

We look like a girl band or extras from The Tribe

Met this lovely lady!

Prints of both drawings displayed at the launch are available to buy from my Society6 page.

May Wishlist

So many clothes that I've been seeing online recently have somehow made it into my regular thought pattern so I thought I'd compile a list of the stuff I've been daydreaming about.

Lazy Oaf x Miista Sample Sale

Happy Shoppers

It appears that I've summoned the sunshine by pre-emptively buying this Summery pineapple print dress yesterday at the Lazy Oaf & Miista shoes sample sale. My pals and I braved the chill and after being lied to a couple of times by Google Maps, we eventually made it to Dalston Pier. 

Puss in Boobs

The dress is slightly too tight but that's probably due to my post-Winter pudge but I was pining over this particular print for nearly a year now so I thought I'd better be safe than sorry, I can always layer it with dungarees or a skater skirt for a couple of months. The shoes are a tiny bit scuffed but after covering the marks on the heel with nail varnish they look brand new and I'm planning on wearing them out tonight. Luckily I managed to leave the sale with my bank account still intact as altogether they only came to £20! 

Lazy Oaf Store Reopening

I thought taking photos would make the queue go quicker.

Queueing isn't really anyone's favourite thing to be doing on a weeknight - or ever- but when the new Lazy Oaf garms are at the other end along with goodie bags and complimentary prosecco I'm not going to complain.

Picture nabbed from the Lazy Oaf instagram.

This was the dress my heart was set on grabbing at the launch but it turns out that 1, it's actually a top and skirt set and 2, it's not being stocked until Summer. I probably should've emailed ahead and asked before becoming obsessed with it and planning shoots around it in my head. Pretty sure that's not normal behaviour. 

Look how cool everything is!

This sheer jacket is nice.

Shouts to my friend Anna - she's the junior print designer at Bill + Mar who recently got their designs stocked in the Oxford Street Topshop. She has worked very hard and I'm very proud of her. I bumped into her at the tube station and convinced her to come along with us.

Friendly chap

As always, the prints were friendly and fun - I especially liked this happy chap. I love how the bold black lines contrast against the bright materials.

Nerd alert

Here I am - looking like a twelve year old on school picture day on the Lazy Oaf stairs. School photos would be a godzillion times better if the backdrops were this cool.

Telecommunication device wraps and foot sacks

Unfortunately "never for money" seems to be the phrase I constantly tell my Mum whenever she asks how much I'm getting paid for my creative endeavours. She isn't pleased. Also kudos to anyone who manages to have a food related iPhone case without feeling constantly peckish.

After battling our way out of the crowd we decided to grab some Korean food at BiBimBap, play Lords of War at Loading Bar and obsess over Miley.
