I want the best for you..

It is true, I do want the best for you. And you know who you are if you are reading this. But I have ran out of energy, time, patience and strength. I have tried my best to make the future we planned real, but you could never cope with change, how is a relationship going to withstand all the obstacles if you couldnt let me move for uni and try and make a career path. You will never open up and see the real me, becuase you started to forget me. You started only seeing the things you thought were there. Things became complicated. Things became hurtful. spiteful and it destroyed me. And yourself whilst doing so. I waited for you again. I guess i still am if im honest, but i cant keep waiting and hurting anymore. I have to move on i have to pick up the pieces and i have to give myself strength and another chance to happiness. And im trying to. So i want you to behappy for me and i want you to be happy too. So much. However much you dont believe me and think im a fake. I have always loved you, i have always treasured you and i always will. The future is a scary thing, but its something im wading myself through. To build myself up again, my confidence and strengh up again, and my future. Im trying thats all i can say. You are right. London is my life now. It is my home. But it wont be my future. It was a passage in time to educate myself and find out who i am. Once im finished uni il be gone, Working and building my life even more. You couldnt accept that. I hope uni goes well for you, i hope you find happiness, but never doubt for one minute that i didnt try, or didnt love you, or want my future with you, i did and everyone knew it, but things went wrong and turned upside down on us, and thats the point in time to change and to work towards something new. I do thankyou, for what you have done for me in the past, and the support and friendship you gave me, it will neve be forgotten. And nor will you, you will always have a place in my heart.

Something smells nice...

New term of classes at uni are underway. Yep, back to limited facilities, too many people and too much work. That and how expensive my course is.

Briefing for a new 'Perfume project' is soon to be revealed, the one I have been jumping up and down about for the last year and a bit if i'm quite honest.  Exciting stuff. I have some ideas, lets just hope they all go to plan!

My interning for SCPR is currently on hold now, with classes to attend and lots of work to do, I have been asked to help out for events etc when needed. Which is good because that leaves all the other interns doing the rubbish stuff in the office!

Waiting for a seminar to start, I thought i would make use of this time to choose my essay question and start to organise my self. I have chosen one that asks me to discuss if the traditional catwalk presentation is fading out, and to look at examples of Gareth Pugh and Alexander Mcqueen with their 'spectacle' of a display. So, the research commences....

I'll keep you posted ;)

Fashion Photography At It's Best!

My boyfriend happens to be an amazing fashion photographer. He has several clients including Angry DJ clothing brand - Exclusive. Graduating this year, he has produced a professional website, fb page, twitter account and is successfully getting him self out there in the fashion photography industry.
Being a stylist myself, I want people to know about him and his work. Who he is , what he is about and what he has achieved and is capable of. So, here i will blog a bit about him, his upcoming events, shoots and needs for models etc. I will start introducing him, with a few pics from his portfolio.



These two photos happens to be a shot from the 'Animal Magic' shoot, I was the creative artist for this.



This shot is of the upcoming new band - MAVIS

Right, there seems to be a calling, ah yes, my bed!

Right it seems that this noggin has been all washed out! SO, a mint hot chocolate, a cuddle waterbottle and my bed it is, all in preparation for another day at work tomorrow. Ahh that's what its like, for a day in the life of fashion pr...

Goodnight bloggers xoxo

Sometimes, we have to move on..

It's true, sometimes, we have to move on, and sometimes it is a battle trying to figure out how to. Believe me I would know because I have been battling it for a while now. No word of a lie. Stuff happens that you didn't plan for it to happen, stuff becomes complicated and painful and also terrifying. Because you come from being set in your thoughts and your own way, all your plans, and then it comes crashing down. Whether it be because you decide to take a gamble and move to a big, new and exciting city full of creativity, not for anyone else but yourself. It may be because you need a change, and a new step towards your future. It may be , because you can't keep kidding yourself that everything is okay and will stay that way when relationships fall into a thousand pieces, it may be, you find unexected, true, irreversable friendship and love.

 Things happen for a reason, and you have to remember and treasure the good memories, but you store them for a reason, we move on. I have a life here in london and Im working hard, and im just trying to make a decent future to treat myself and my loved ones. And if thats me being selfish? then you don't know what hard work is. I have an amazing family, I have amazing friends, I have the life of fashion pr and uni and i have an amazing boyfriend. And im sick of people involving themselves when its nothing to do with anyone else. Im happy with my life and i will live it the best way i can.

A week under the thumb in fashion pr.

Okay, so it's become very unfortunate that due to uni and trying to have a life that involves some me time other than work, has proven difficult, Let alone even MORE difficult to update my blog, so, new years resolution? KEEP UPDATING.

Since starting my second year at university, getting myself more engaged and involved in the working fashion industry has been the goal from the beginning, and so, with the opportunity to get myself a work placement to intern within the fashion industry, I managed to bag one at SCPR. A well known fashion pr company hidden away in crammed offices full of rails of clothing, shelves of handbags and shoes, along with the mountain of paperwork that seems to never end, in a mews that takes up residency in Marylebone. <3

 
A little bit about the brands we look after..

All of these pictures only sum up some of the clients SCPR deal with on a day to day business. Whether it be mailing out look books for collections to magazines, companies, assistants, stylists, newspapers, or going to meet clients, assisting in prep for photoshoots, booking out collections as well as booking returns back in. All stuff to keep you on your feet and I can tell you now there won't be a moment without something to do. Long days but at least it means getting yourself involved with what is happening around you as well as having the opportunity to come up with my own ideas and using my own iniative too.  
 
So, one week down and just another five to go before university classes commence again for the second part of my degree. Exciting stuff aye! Looking forward to learning more over the forthcoming weeks, however, not looking forward to missing my bed as much as I do.

So, the VMA's eh ??

Lots to talk about, lots to see, lots to .. take in. One being the sexy one and only Beyonce who has confirmed all speculations over her being pregnant. She made a stunning appearance on the red carpet in Los Angeles, announing to photographers - " I have a little suprise for you." - mm. Juicy. After perfoming her wonderful single 'Love top', ( amazingly I might add...) She said, quote - " I want you all to feel the love that's growing inside of me". Then came a fabuolous follow up of Beyonce unbuttoning her jacket to reveal the bump! It is said that the other half, Jay Z could be heard cheering from the sidelines as the audience clapped and cheered for the happy couple. Nawwwww.
Something else lovely to see was the  B-e-a-u-tifullll Russel Brand leading tribute alongside Jessie J for Amy Whinehouse. A piece of footage was unveiled to the viewers displaying Amy's final performance dueting with Tom Bennett singing 'Body and Soul'. At the end of the sentimental and moving ceremony, Bruno mars lit up the stage by singing Valerie. Amy would be very proud. I hope she has finally found a happier place where her troubles can FINALLY all be left behind and she is resting in peace. God bless her soul.
Okay. So, lets recapa few of the main awards announced.
Video of the year - Went to THE Katy Perry for 'Firework'.
Best Male Video - An award that Justin Beiber recieved for 'U smile'.
And Best Female Video - went to Lady Gaga with 'Born this way'.
All well deserved, don't you think?

BUT, this does lead onto my following thoughts and comments about Lady Gaga. Or should I say.. 'Joe Calderone'?? . . . Gaga has denied all accusations of being a hermaphrodite ever since she clambered out a swimming pool, dazzling us all with glitter and a lightning bolt on her face in her video 'Poker face'. Even though she doesn't seem it, she is CLEARLY very much iinto her masculine side. During the awards and evrey other day so it seems! She, (or he) erupted the stage as Joe and explained how Gaga was 'crazy' and how the 'spotlight follows her home, I want to get in it.' Also, something about how she wears heels in the shower?? Says it all really doesn't it?. It has also been noted that they both claim Italian heritage and Joe considers himself to be a 'simple guy from Sicily who works as a mechanic.' ... Righttttt. ? . He first came about after he appeared on the front cover of Japanese Vogue, where he claimed noone has ever taken his picture before? yet, he is spread all over vogue.. During this, people started to notice the resemblance between him and Gaga immediately. Joe has also mentioned how he has 'alledgedly' met Gaga through a Nick Knight shoot. He commented - " She is F**kin beautiful! and funny and very interesting! I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting" and Gaga 'apparently' replied to that with " Don't be baby, 'You were born this way'. He was then said to have told people how he took Gaga out after, and everything from then onwards was private. With a wink. HUH?.Yeah, something has seriously been misplaced in her head. After all of this, you would think that was enough shock factor wouldn't you? clearly not. Gaga, attempted to recreate history at the VMA's. Joe presented Britney with the Michael Jackson Vanguard award - ( wow. what an honour! well done britney michael would be proud!) - by teasing the audience and causing intensity whilst going in for a snog with the singer, reminising the famous Britney and Madonna kiss back at the MTV awards in 2003, but on THIS occasion, the singer pulled away announcing " I've done that already, I'm a good ol' fashioned girl". Hmmm. Whatever you say darl
