Life Oh Life

I have had the best few weeks ever - meeting amazing people, seeing more amazing people and in general pretty high times. Here's some photos from my past few weeks:












I am currently getting myself involved in a project with Don't Panic for Channel 4 a Street Style competition which I feel will be super fun!

Even though spending a lot of time on the internet is my job (and I LOVE it) I feel it's time for me to spend some time away so I am making some big plans to save and go and spend some time with my friend Spasia in New York as well as getting to some other places to see some amazing sights. Let's think about it I'm 25 next year, I haven't been on holiday since 2001 and my current internet (work) obsession is becoming wildly un-healthy. This all sparked when I met a few bloggers in London a couple of weeks back...Why I'm I spending so much time online exchanging links, knowledge, friendships when I can go and hang out with them...Ehhhhh? Good times are a coming and I'm very excited.

Next few weeks are going to be exciting too as I get to spend time with my sister at Wireless and Lovebox and some little exciting projects to further my life. I do hope by the time I'm 25 I've progressed a little further...It is totally time to play as hard as I work, life is literally what you make it and you have to protect, love and cherish yourself as well as everyone you love in it.

Random shiz this week:

A lot can happen in a week let's just say that...

My Birthday was good, everyone was really kind and I got some amazing gifts, 'specially Bambi on DVD and this Owl necklace that one of my bessie's got me, it's amazing I think it's my favourite gift it's so cute.

We went to Southbank where Mr Matt Miller and his pal Matt joined us, dope, you literally couldn't meet a nicer person and I'm very happy to call him my pal a real life pal now too lol...then on to the 02 which was a massive mission but as we were nice and drunk we had fun travelling along to it - even the trip home was fun! There really is nothing better then getting home at 6am putting on your pjs, having a chicken burger and chips and then having a fag! I felt fine the next day just really tired. There was an absolute MARE with the club but can't really be bothered to explain and we got our tab cleared and my sister and her friend Tamryn got a free lift home worth £60 - cheers!

So, I've managed to get my hand on two of those ASOS' £20 vouchers and I have absolutely no idea what to buy, I don't mind ASOS as a shop but there's soooo much on it that I give up half way through so if anyone has any suggestions for me that would be great!

I'm crushing on Zara at the moment, which is quite funny actually as I'm not very feminine or girly but their cuts and fabrics are so nice and they have some really nice pieces up on their website at the moment:



Black Studio Dress



Linen Dress


Blazer



Quilted Jacket



Leopard Print Wash Bag

Gorgeous isn't it?

My PJ's don't you just love them? They were a Christmas present from my parents and my Mum just had to tell me that they were from Bon Marche of all freakin' places ha ha! x

Not a massively great picture but it's my Owl necklace from Katie, I love it so much it's so cute <3

We are going out for lunch tomorrow at work and I can't wait, Gringo's is great, nicest chips ever, REAL chicken in a nice bap, loads of salad and all for about £5 - so good.

January - February News

I had a very good January indeed. Meeting with Brighton Fashion Week's editor and director as well as stylist, tv man and a few others went swimmingly - very happy to be a part of such a cute team. First event was the Frexient party where I met an old chum Sam Hiscox, who is our street style photographer. Good OH! To be honest (brutually honest) the party itself wasn't what I was expecting, although seeing Dan dance with alot of hen do esque ladies was a highlight I must say, I suppose it's all just networking no? Was nice to meet the TV girls and bloggers etc.

Since then we've had a very successful competition with Beauty UK Cosmetics which has literally just ended (6pm) sorry, should of written this sooner aye?
Which has gained us over 500 followers which is obviously a massive result so big ups to BUKC and well, me! ;)

In other news got a little cheeky Valentines Day card from Ben Normanton who does some amazing AMAZING artwork and illustration which you can check right here. Also, got a nice 'fuck da police' (lolz) t-shirt from Sam which my parents hate...score! BTW you can get the shirt cheaper here if you want.

I also now work for a street wear company called Street Casuals as Head of their communications (PR and Social Media). I got a little cheeky call from Miss. Sofi Nowell and bam, it's all mine ♥ I'm really grateful for it as I was starting to regret quitting Tescos as the extra money on top of my marketing job was handy, so big cheers goes to Sof. If you're reading this and you'd like to receive our press releases, information, packages or samples then please e-mail press@streetcasuals.com and I'll get back to you ASAP

Marketing job is still good, has it's moments - We hopefully have some really good stuff coming up soon so all in all a good show!

Don't Panic are giving me more little projects too - not sure if I'm allowed to talk about the next one but it should be fun researching and doing work into it.


What else? What else?...OH YEAH! I only bloody bought a macbook didn't I?! Literally the best purchase ever - had to borrow £120 off my rents but it's ALL mine. Gorgeous. How the hell I ever spent about 10 years of my life with a PC I will never know, seriously if you're considering buying a computer a macbook is definatly the one...TRUST me on this.



Well, not much else so I will leave you with my weekly pictures.

This is from a girl call Sarah Cass which I put on Deer Brains earlier today, how super cute is her work? So colourful and vibrant I love it.

Past two weeks have been really weird, I've been deeply dismissive and negative and I'm not too sure why...might be my current pill I'm going to see how I am next month but it really was just awful...ho hum things are better now and that's the main thing.

Got a phone call from Vanessa about doing the Brighton Fashion Week social media stuff and I've got a meeting with her and the rest of the team next week. Which I'm pretty excited about she said I sound like I'm the answer to her prayers! Super...Another thing to get stuck into, I think that's why I've been upset recently, same old people(i love my friends&family but ya know)...people I can't see regularly because of distance (tristan, ollie, james, sofi, anna) and just the general mundane life...even though I enjoy my job...I guess it's just the same old nonesense and wondering where all the EXCITING things have gone...I'm I making much sense here I'm I?!!!

I've been enjoying sitting back and chilling out letting things happen naturally for once...I either FORCE things or PUSH things away so it's pretty good and a massive learning curve for me to let people, things, animals, babes just all flow nicely...like James said to me I can't let myself or anyone else get upset over NOTHING...very positive stance...

I'm pretty excited about Christmas this year, bought some dope gifts and love sharing and giving to my friends and family. Christmas eve is always amazing as we have so much fun (and booze) around Chloe and Ross's house...the midnight strike is always fun singing and being battered...Ahhh <3

NEWS - Halloween, Bonfire night, Jobs, People, Babes, Deer Brains.

I haven't updated this in a while...

So, I've now got my glasses which made me feel like a super geek at first but now it's all good. Just a matter of getting used to them isn't it? My head ons have gone and my mind is focused on work rather then the pain at the back of my brain thinking I have some terrible tumour or something.

All three job prospects that came to me through agencies were not successful, the worthing one was pretty keen but I turned it down as I knew it wouldn't be the right kind of area for me...working on accounts social media isn't really my idea of 'fun' 1000 heads are keeping me on records and I get e-mails from them updating me about various things going on within the job etc. always interesting to read. The other one I can't even remember so can't be that good. Since then I've had a call from an agency for a job in Soho...just turned it down as I am in no financial matter to go zooming off to London.






For Halloween I went to go an see my sister we qued to get into a fancy dress shop what the fuck is that about...we bascially just wore normal clothes and stuck some blood on us...went to Urban Nerds and met Sofi from the Sofidonuts Blog that I contribute too. Sof is the most adorable person I think I've ever met...I felt like a giant next to her cute 5' nothing frame but hey, who really gives a fuck about that. Adorbz




For Bonfire night I met Danny and all his new working pals from his new job. As well as hanging out with Ollie from Black Milk London where I just got quite drunk and from what I remember we didn't see one firework?! It was raining though so that might of been why? I think I'm in love with his cat though it's such a biffa he's amazing!!!



I'm pressing on with my blog Deer Brains which has recruited 5 new babes. Quite excited to see where that's all going to lead to. We've had competitions with Vice and Lazy Oaf recently which has been amazing for us.


Brighton Fashion Week is looking for someone to do some work for them so I've contacted them to see if there is a Social Media/ PR role involved for me...Going through chats with that. Doing some PR for Jelly Pong Pong which Ollie found for me x and hoping to start doing some Social Media for Margin London.

I went to see Deftones Wednesday just gone (17th November) and it was UH-MAZING. I've loved the Deftones ever since school so it was a highlight of my year. I went with my friend Brad who equally loves them but unfortunately had work at 7am the next day we were about to leave when we heard the intro into 'Change' (my fav) so obviously we stayed and then went and got the train after that. Don't mean to be a sap but I can't get over how amazing they were!!! I was so excited. The babes surrounding me was great too hahaha.


Off to see Jimmy Eat World and Minus the Bear with Shahnaz and Dan on Tuesday which should be good. We all went to see The Get Up Kids together a few months ago which was amazing. It's good to have gig buds.





I've been speaking to Tristan alot lately which has been amazing. Although I haven't seen that boy in about 3 years now he will ALWAYS remain my best friend and my favourite person ever. He's super amazing and always kicks me up the ass when I'm being an idiot about myself and about my life. I really love him so much it's ridic. xxxxxx
Think that's it. Will try and update this more regularly but I'm pretty friggin' busy bruv. x
