My Summer Castle

OK so I pretty much disowned my blog over summer, apologies about that! But anyway this is a photo of one of the places that I worked in during my summer. Stunning right? Aldourie Castle is situated right on the Loch Ness and was absolutely lovely to work at! Just thought I would try and get some of you jealous of where I was working at!

Underage and Pregnant

So as you may know I am a pretty proud Inverneshian (Im not too sure if thats actually a word or one i have made up) and at 8.30 tonight BBC3 aired the first episode of the series 'Underage and Pregannt' and I just wanted to blog about how proud I am of Courtney! And Hayleigh! In the episode you can see a lot of people I went to school with and of course one of my closest friends featured in it (Hayleigh) the auntie of Amelia-Danni, take a wee peak on BBC Iplayer! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00t6777/Underage_and_Pregnant_Series_2_Courtnay_and_Megan/

I WANT THESE!

Animal Luggage

Found these pretty crazy pieces by a Los Angeles based artist Carlee Fernandez. This collection is called Canade II 7000 and includes these two peculiar looking suitcases. Im not too sure if this wold be a big hit in the fashion industry but would defiantly get the attention that they deserve.

Air Apparent

With parts of the world being so polluted, This fashion statement, designed and developed by Genevieve Mateyko and Pamela Troyerat the Emily Carr university of Art and Design can detect common rban polltants like benzene, carbon monoxide, ammonia and nitrogen oxide. (all fond in cigarette smoke) The idea is that this cowl-neck vest studded with LEDs that stimulate the way yo breathe based in the toxicity of your environment along with tiny vibrators that alert yo when you have wandered into an unhealthy airspace.

"'An once of prevention'

While I was browsing around the internet looking for information on my sustainability project I stumbled across this which i thought was pretty relevant to my previous assignment for design studies 'Part 5A'

Three engineering students from Northern university have developed a 'data-logging' compression shirt that helps pitchers avoid torn ligaments. I think that this is an amazing break through in the development in smart technologies in clothing and can be made for as little as $200, outstanding!

Give a little whistle

One of the lovely sights of Whistler, Canada. Just thought I would rub it in a little bit.
