EDITORIAL!

Hey guys!

My current project in university is to create an advertising campaign for a store.
We could choose between IKEA/John Lewis/Topshop/Topman.. seeing that I am rubbish at keeping my home clean, and haven't got the £££ to go out and buy myself a brand new bedroom... I decided that Topshop/Topman was the best bet for me.

I'm quite lucky to have a good life lately, full of skateboarding/snowboard/surfing.. and even better when one of your best surf buds is a 5ft 11 agency model who can come to a skate park with you and do some model shots in the middle of the park :D YAY!

Here's a few of my images...
When I hand them in they'll have the TOPSHOP logo on them... but I'm going to try and get these published.. so won't put it on them for now :D

What do you think?

Thanks!

London Fashion Weekend

Hey guys!
Well, I've been off my feet as always, but was lucky enough to go to London for the day with my good friend Zoey Groves... We got tickets for the London Fashion Weekend and got to see some great designers work!
We also got to watch a fashion show based on 4 new hot trends for S/S 13!
You can't beat a bit of monochrome! Here's some images from the day....

Beautiful Neon Clutches! from a various of designers including Michael Kors (pictured below) and Marc Jacobs.

Beautiful nail gloves! I will be creating a DIY of this soon, to keep an eye out.

Stunning collection of leather jackets (I am a big sucker for all things pink, these hit my spot nicely)

Zoey Groves - wearing WE ARE HAIRY PEOPLES custom hand painted denim jacket.

The event wasn't what I was expecting if I am honest, I loved all of the shops, but with ticket prices being at £20 each, the stores had only designer clothing, at unaffordable prices for us students :( but it was nice to have a look at all of the lovely items!

My favourite new designer discovery is the up and coming British fashion designer, Charlotte Taylor. I am a sucker for animals and big prints, and when I found her shirt range from last season I fell in love!

Beautiful bird print! My personal favourite was the penguin print silk shirts! but I couldn't find a picture online :(

You can find out more about Charlotte and her work at her blog here;

Thanks for reading everyone,

lots of love!

Models 1 and Vision ID modelling Competition.

Hey guys!

Well, I got an email off one of my lecturers inviting us to a modelling event, I emailed the organisers about tickets, and then they offered me paid work for the event so it's win win!
I knew Vision ID from a previous photo shoot I had taken of CAMERON FOX, posted previously.
I was able to meet a few of the 'fresh faces' and was able to get their numbers and hand out my business cards, so I have a few more agency shoots booked now :)

Here's a few images from the night.

Here are a few of the contestants;

(right) Chloe came 2nd place for girls at the end of the event

(Davey, Left and Matt, Right are friends of mine, Matt came in the top 5 boys)

Here's Kurt(First photo left) with Davey and Gareth (Second photo left)

Kurt came 2nd place boys and already had received a contract with Vision ID, and Gareth came 3rd place.

This is Hollie, She's now a top fashion model, scouted by Vision ID (Previously Kirstie Howells) and now placed with Models 1!

An absolutely stunning girl, you can just tell she's a model, and so down to earth.. I spent my whole night with her and Kirstie Howell's telling me how pretty I was and how they loved my hair, was crazy! 

Here's Kurt with Kirstie, Kirstie is a little bit on the champagne side, but still a very laid back and professional agent! Find Kirstie's website here;

VISION ID - KIRSTIE HOWELLS - FACES

You can see all the up and coming models Kirstie has spotted and developped, on their main board and also on the fresh face board! Need to keep an eye out for some of these in the future!

Speak soon!

SHOPPING!

Hey guys!
Once again, I'm sorry for not posting enough, so I thought I'd show you what I've been spending my student loan on..
Since September I've been working at New Look, a store in our big mall St David's 2.
It's quiet, but hey! I get 50% off so I'm quite happy.

Here's a few bits and bobs I've bought from my works lately.

New look by stephanie-thomas featuring a white shirt

I'm not a big fan of creepers, but they're so comfortable, and they also make me feel really tall! and I love looking a wee bit taller than I actually am! (I'm 5ft 7 and a half! half an inch too small to model for select model management! :( woah is me!)
I told myself I wasn't going to buy anything black this season, because all they have in shops right now is black, dark green, skulls and crosses, and I'm more of a flowers and lace person myself.. but I didn't keep to this, I've bought two pairs of black wetlook jeans, black and blue floral trousers, black dress, black leggings, two black cardigans, black creepers and silver and black peplum tshirt. They look nice, but I need more colour in my wardrobe!
I also bought this coat from New look, but it wasn't on the POLYVORE page.


It's so comfortable! and suprisingly matches a lot of my clothing, (apart from my black and blue floral trousers :( )
I just had to buy it with my discount, for £25 I will never take it back!!

I also did a little bit of shopping on the Student Lock - In event in the same mall.
Student lock in is an event where the majority of shops in St David's 2 have sales (10-40% off, pubs and clubs give out vouchers and monster energy drinks too!)
Here's what I bought at these.

lock in by stephanie-thomas featuring racer back tank tops

My personal favourites from this set are the high waisted shorts from Miss Selfridge, bought with 20% off, and the Lion Body suit, from Primark for £6! went very well with the black wedges, half price from New Look for a night out in town with the ladies enjoying my freshers!

Hope you like my local buys!
