Busy Bee

This week has been ridiculously busy for me. Travelling from Notts to my home town, to London, then back to my home town and then finally back up to Notts. The purpose of going home was for a course trip to London.

On wednesday I went to London. The main reason for visiting London was to see an exhibition at the V&A - Postmodernism: Style and subversion 1970-1990. It was really insightful and as you can tell, was based on postmodernism. The exhibition included paintings, graphics, clothing, sculptures and so much more. I would definitely recommend going to see it if your interested in postmodernism. For information click here.



The second reason for going to London was to see the Dazed and Confused exhibition at Somerset house. The exhibition was to celebrate their 20th anniversary. It was really quite visually appealing as it had all the covers that the magazine had done. Famous faces such as Beyonce, Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn and even Kanye West are amongst but a few who have graced the cover. 



 


After doing all this, I also managed to create a tumblr account. Having tried various times before and failing miserably I'm quite pleased with this one. Have a look for yourself: http://amberxjade.tumblr.com/

This week has been all about shopping for me. I've treated myself to some new items for my winter wardrobe.  My favourite item has to be the topshop creepers. I've wanted some for ages but a lack of money means that I've not been able to get any, absolute bargain for £34.
