Emerging Fervour

Imagine you’re an emerging designer, working hard to get your name out there…showcasing products that you’ve worked hard on…then imagine a big conglomerate stealing one of your ideas and passing it off as their own. You’d be pretty pissed right? Even I’m pissed off… I can’t imagine how this designer feels…

She Draws designed a telephone necklace…check it out…

And now look at a copy that Claire’s Accessories have ‘designed’ and are selling for a mere £2.

Of this blatant theft, She Draws says ‘My feelings were very mixed since it is a completely direct design copy which features my very own hand writing. I promptly went to the store this afternoon and purchased the necklace (which happened to be in the sale for a mere £2 to add as insult to injury!) to get a better idea of what has gone on.

How fabulously vintage is Katrina? We love her individual, quirky style and we are chuffed to bits that she is showing us her wardrobe!!

Katrina This outfit just makes me feel so happy, like a tap dancing sailor!

Katrina This dress has been in my wardrobe for six months and hasn’t ever been worn out for a number of reasons, generally my friends fear of the dead fox and yellow being a terrible colour on me. However this is still of of my favourite pieces and I get so much joy from just seeing the little fox peeking out from the rail from time to time.

Katrina This top, I always wear as a dress over black opaque tights and its probably the best two quid I have ever spent. The puff ball jacket makes me feel like a Mr Whippy and the shoes are the most gorgeous stack-heel loafers from clarks.
