Giving Back Tuesday: Bloggers Against Social Injustice ft MY DESIGNS & Cystic Fibrosis

Hi Dolls! First of all I want to say THANK YOU for the 300 subscribers, you guys made yesterday one of the most amazing days ever. I love your guys so much and I really listen to you and what you e mail me and say to me so since I was looking for incorporating some charities to my blog because I am completely aware that our world is not perfect and there are times when we need to come together and raise our voices I decided to join an incredible organization called: Bloggers Against Social Injustices
W12

Check out our blog: www.bloggersagainstsocialinjustice.blogspot.com
We are going to raise our voice against different causes right now we are helping Human trafficking and trying to stop it. 
One of my dreams is being a designer as most of you know, but having my collections attached to a charity is one of my goals in the future. So that there is a lot that still needs to be made. So based on this idea I started designing for BASI ( Bloggers Against Social Injustice) some cool fall pieces.

 I created this blouse just to have a super fun piece of clothing to add to our back to school wardrobe.

  I designed a really colorful T-shirt because I wanted a shirt to create simple looks and paired with some skinny jeans or wear it with a high waisted skirt and throw a cardigan over it. Then this are my favourite pies the black and white clutch and bag. They go with everything and they are so perfect for back to school
I love the rosette pin to add to simple white blouses and have an artistic take to a plain piece of clothing. And same with the red bangle since red is such a popular colour for back to school this year!


Now and trying not to make this post too long I want you to introduce you to my new friend Josie! She is such a great role model and blogger. I love how she talks about her illness and tries to encourage other people to help to find a cure for that illness and to enjoy their lives despite Cystic Fibrosis.


                                                         I Love her! She is so sweet!
Do you guys know what CF is? CF Is a very common illness that affects internal organs, especially lungs and digestive systems. 
How can you guys help? First go to Josie's blog, if you want to, send her some love and enjoy her Ah-MAZING blog (http://josielovesshoes.blogspot.co.uk/)
And then I want you to help with this fundraise if you can, if not share this fundraise in your blog,Twitter or Facebook, that is a way of helping too!! So this fundraise is organized by her cousins who are doing a 26 mile trekathon around LONDON, based around the Olympic venues on the 1st September. This is their fundraising page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=Steph_Becky_Higgins

Andrea Designs: Inside My Portfolio 1

Hi Dolls! So welcome to the very first Andrea Designs post! (Yayy!).Maybe you  don't know yet, but I have been designing and sketching since I was seven years old ( and I am 18 now), it has been a long time loving fashion and I wanted to show you some of my sketched and designs and explaining my inspiration behind them!
 This baby right here is my all time favorite I designed it this year in January. I was trying to create a beautiful and universally flattering New Year's Eve outfit. I went a bold crystal 40-50s inspired dress with ombre strings to elongate your body, as well as nude pumps to make your legs look crazily long. For the clutch, I tried a minimal design and I really like the result. With the jewelry  I kept it simple but still giving it a pop of color with the purple stone that makes a statement along with the little black ones.
P.S: I sent this sketch to Chiara Ferragni and she loved it and made me the happiest girl alive 
This design is inspired by Taylor Swift as she tries to tell stories through music I tried to do the same with a dress specially a prom dress. I was dreaming of someday having my own prom dress collection in which every dress tells a story or suits someone's personality very nicely. You can read the annotation on this sketch to see what the girl wearing it would want to express through the dress. I think that designing is such a beautiful, yet interesting process in which the customer should pair with the designer to tell a story. So it is a true piece of art work and it has something more apart from the design, it has a feeling and a special vibe to it.
Hope you guys liked the post! Please let me know your opinion in the comments and if you think that a dress should tell a story, Is it a great idea? I think it is :)
