WEEK SUMMARY

I will post more this week but last week was so hectic.
Tuesday I interned with an amazing PR company called Bloody Gray PR. It is amazing with brands like:
Rachel Freire:

Gabrielle Marina Gonzalez and her amazing wedges, harnesses and knee pads:

Bitching and Junkfood:

Also do amazing accessories as well. I found myself delivering a lot of Bitching pieces on location to a Lissie shoot.
Neurotica with their beautiful dye work and prints:



Kumiko Watari and her playful designs:


The best things about the internship are that Becc, Phillipa and Jennifer are really cool and that Rihanna borrows pieces all the time.

MEGA POST CONTINUED

The next best look on that shoot was the one below where the Spanish flag becomes a head-scarf:


Then I went to Canterbury Kent for the Kent Summerball on the 5th June with Akua and her friends.

Kent's pretty cool- everything you need without the bustle of London and lots of charity shops- I got a red box bag.

The ball itself was fab- free candy floss, a funfair, cheap drinks and great for fashion-watching I spied a lot of Topshop and Lipsy dresses and I thanked above no-one had my ASOS dress.



















Hottest look of the night




Next best look on the night

The highlight was Florence and the Machine and I was right at the front for her. She looked and sounded amazing and I was really glad I saw her. Unfortunately I missed Tiny Tempah when I went to change out of my heels.


Over the course of her set, Florence changed her outfit 3 times. Below she tucks her sheer top into her leather shorts.

And then takes it off altogether. It was so hot in the crowd as well. A lot of people sweated their make-up off. Luckily I didn't, but then again I wasn't wearing much to begin with.

MEGA POST

So I've been really busy over the last couple of weeks which is why I haven't been posting but here is a giant post about what I have been up to make up for it.

I assisted on a menswear shoot with Jade on May 26th which was fun. It had really cool accessories and cool trainers:




My favourite pieces on this shoot were the TWO WEEKS pieces below- I have a bit of a feather obsession so a feathered headdress, feather earrings and feather cuff are my idea of edgy accessory heaven alongside studded things. The GAGA glasses were also amazing and coveted.







Then on the 31st May (a bank holiday) I trekked to Woolwich to attempt to do a photoshoot without a make-up artist, hair stylist, photographer, proper clothes or a proper model. Considering the above it came out alright. The theme was supposed to be WORLD CUP/TRIBAL and we got some countries flags to incorporate into the outfits.



This look is my favourite and was mainly put together by me using the Brazil flag.

How to dress for the World Cup

Although I was annoyed at the England result on Saturday, I was very impressed by the Americans. Apart from the fact that a number of their team play for Fulham (the 2nd best team in West London after my Beloved Chelsea); they were faster, fitter and leaner than us.
Katy Perry also scored an outstanding fashion goal when I saw pictures of her fabulous rubber flag dress- Half US flag, half Union Jack (there is almost no need to point out that the English flag is red and white and that we were the only team in the UK to get to world cup). But it works due to the colour scheme.

This dress is very reminiscent of Beyonce's in Lady Gaga's Telephone video


Both ladies are rocking the rubber with ample curves and look amazing.
Katy Perry is winning more in my opinion as she wears football themed fashion very very well and inspires me to try it... when I can afford bespoke clothing.
Her West Ham ensemble was genius and I really want a Chelsea one!!


Before the World Cup I was getting really excited about dressing up properly but, after England's performance I have decided not to. Why would I want to draw attention to the fact that I support such a over hyped team. In this sense I wish I was Spanish or Brazilian during a World Cup because their praise is justified.
