What you waiting for?

Past few weeks have been MAD I'm kind of in a love hate relationship with work at the moment - I completely LOVE what I'm doing what I've been passionate about for so long yet I am going slightly mental that I am constantly going at it all the time. I finish one job and start the other and sometimes do three at once - oh well, I spent a year and a half bopping about doing jack shit...



So, Brighton Fashion Week is very soon...about a month away now! How bloody mental is that? I'm rather excited though! I went over on last Thursday to see everyone and meet the new street style photographer and a couple of bloggers that I hadn't met yet and everyone is just so lovely, such a nice feeling to know what you're doing is appreciated - the Ready to Wear show is the main one that I am working on at the moment and it will be on the 4th June at the Corn Exchange featuring Premier Model Management, yes, they did make that Channel 4 show called 'The Model Agency' should be good - you can buy your tickets here and check out the Facebook event here...There are talks from experts (no one is 100% confirmed yet but it will be VERY awesome when/if they are!!!), make overs, things with Nando's happening and loads of other great things.


Street Casuals lookbook is coming out soon, seen some proofs and looks amazing!!! I was very lucky to receive an amazing Dr. Denim shirt and Alkr macbook cover as well.




Went on a lovely 8 mile walk with Katie last Monday. I've said this before I know I'm not fat but I don't think it hurts to shed another stone (lost one since January) I'm not sure if I'm feeling like this because I seem to be constantly around media stories and gorgeous people at the moment so I feel like I want to 'fit in' as this hasn't really ever bothered me or anyone I've been involved with before. I think what it annoying me the most is having this amazing dress that I bought a year ago that was perfecto on my to having it be a bit tight now...probably a bit pathetic as everyone is always gaining through out the year but still, annoying! So ideally another stone would be great. I'm aiming by July to have this whipped down...Kinda makes me a bit sad that I've become so conscious over something that never really bothered me...yet, in the long run I think it would be better for me. I've built up a healthy relationship with belvita biscuits for breakfast, milk, salads, green tea, nettle tea, fruit tea, snack a jacks but if I want that bitchin' bag of onion rings (I hate you Ben Loom) then I will totally dive into that, it's getting that balance of eating what you want but in proportion and exercising it through...



I did such an impulse buy yesterday and bought Snoop Dogg tickets, Can you believe it?! He's playing Brighton Dome next Sunday. So so so excited! It's going to be amazing.




I bought some mad shoes, fucking love them and a white rabbit print - time time WHO'S GOT THE TIMEEEE.

Only just got round to reading this, great for inspiration.

Before I went for a meeting with Brighton Fashion Week lovelies - rolling home at 5am after going to Audio....that wasn't planned.

Work by the amazing Eliza Rose Moore who I interviewed for Deer Brains.

Before Katie's Birthday BBQ.

Birthdays, Parties, Work, Shoes...

So the past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic - with four Birthday's to celebrate, Mother's day, coping with the fact that my Mother is now on Facebook, I know right?! Holding down a competition for BFW with Beauty UK again - good times. Love those guys always so lovely and attentive, as well as holding one down with Street Casuals and Drop Out UK.

I've bought myself a Canon which I'm in love with - since I was 14 all I wanted was a macbook and a good camera now I've got both and I'm SO happy. Rory is a nightmare though and keeps barking when I take pictures.



Models Own - Baby Bloo and a painful cut on my index finger :(



I love this t-shirt and so glad I bought it before the store closed. Reminds me of the Suicide File song - Things fall apart and reminds me that yes, things DO fall apart but you know, stay strong, beautiful and hold your own...x

Now, I've never been the one to invest in loads of shoes, t-shirts and dresses were more my thing but I have fallen in love with many a pair and will be purchasing when my $$$ enters my bank account which is naughty because I'm supposed to be saving but I can't live in brogues and boots forever can I?

So here are a range from Topshop and F-Troupe...Check out the Superga's that I want here too.

Models Own - Smash Up!

Dream Land '11

This week has been totally weird, the first half I was on some sort of epihany kick and the second half I've just become really tired and forgetful - what I'm I talking about again? Oh yeah, errrmmm...So this week as seen myself doing what I seem to do best at the moment - work, crazy huh? A few years ago all I was doing was drinking.

I've seemed to of curated an obsession with Onion Rings (Cheers Ben!) and have started planning out something that could be super super exciting involving Macbeth, Deer Brains and Lazy Oaf - that will all be revealed as if and when it happens.




I've completely fallen in love with Superga's after getting a press release through from Glenn to put on Deer Brains - amazing aren't they? Modelled by Alexa Chung who tbh I think is a massive nob but it's the product we are talking about here and I am KEEN as a BEAN on getting a pair...Really really REALLY want a pair of the Libery x Nike sneakers too, I'm not a sneaker girl but the prints are so dope I cannot resist - £78 but def £78 well spent dontcha think?

I've also been in a flap about Birthday I've got four in a week and Mother's Day - I'm on the keeno poor as well after shedding out for a SLR Canon. However, I'm still with money but I know what I'm like a trip to Asda for lunch turns into a 20 quid spending spree on a sarnie, magazines, belvitas, shampoo and snackajacks, how?


I'm perving on freshcotton.co.uk again - I just can't help myself. However, everytime I go and click 'Women' it goes to men...Is anyone else having this problem?

This week's pictures:


Puppy love - been by my side most of the week.

I paid £13 for these - I am insane.

I hate you Ben Loom

Before a night out babez

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.

Today's my Birthday and I get one every year...

So, today I am 24. I feel pretty good for it as I feel like I've progressed with my life in the past year. I'm more happier than I've ever been and I'm stronger and more positive which is always an amazing thing. Birthday's make me laugh because I get Facebook messages, texts and calls from people who haven't spoken to me in so long - nice though I guess :) must admit there's some people who've written on my wall and I've kinda forgot about them - you know old school chums and alike.

I am off to London on Saturday with 25 chums to Proud2 - It's going to be pretty hectic rounding up the troupes I can feel it but should be good. Managed to bag VIP and free entry from lovely Yanina over at Big eyes, little soles xx I can't wait will be a good break from work! Also, hope to meet Matt and Tom.

Been doing the usual, nothing out of the ordinary - looking after Rory, he's a nightmare. He barks at all the animals on the TV, apparently the cure is to spray lemon juice in his face but surely that's not right? Does anyone know how to prevent such a naughty dog so I can watch Animal Park and Lion World?!


I bought some super duper items from a Charity store on Tuesday - went out to get my prescription pills and came back with a coat and a really nice cardie and some other bits.










My lovely long hair got BUTCHERED...


Now I'm going to be ugly for my birthday :(

Some handy e-mail hints - London Fashion Week - Deer Brains - Recruitment Agency

I keep getting text messages from a Recruitment agency and I'm pretty sure that's not the best way to go about it? He sends me through e-mails as well. I am super grateful to have people wanting me to work for them but I've already said I don't want to work in Worthing/Brighton and that I've got 3 paid jobs already...Yet the texts and e-mails still come through.

Had a busy week last week as Street Casuals was launching the new Hundreds tees so was making full use of my e-mail account as well as grouping up advertisements and sorting out competitions with some cool magazines and blogs. Keep an eye out for all that here.

We (Deer Brains) were very kindly given tickets by Jess from Wearesocial on behalf of Vitamin Water to a show at London Fashion Week which will be up on the blog soon. Gorgeous clothes, excited to see how it went. Richard was in the press section of Marios Schwab show so it should be full of great pictures and gossip. We also had an invitation to Alex Noble who has design Ga Ga garments! No one could cover that though which is a shame but it's all good.

We also had an invite from PUSH PR to Jasper Gavida who's designs I love. Read about what went on here. Also, Hannah from PUSH PR invited us to Love Art Wear Art which is Nicole Le Grange's footwear range. Read more here.



Quite enjoyed reading this, as someone who has 6 important e-mail addresses this was a helpful way to making the most out of my replies. To be honest I do most of them anyways but it's a good read and the 99% website is good on the whole so have a peep.
