You know what the ingredients are for a really good day? In my book, it's making myself busy doing the things that make me happy. Since the start of January, I've been really occupied and I still am with uni applications and course-works that I find it really hard to make time for myself. So I've changed my game-plan and decided to actually use my free-time wisely. With the exception of catching up with Modern Family and Mindy Project, of course. Now I'm finding myself making schedules for things to achieve by the end of each week-like shooting an ootd video with my sister. Which is exactly what we both did. Us being us always sporting a rather potent gravitational field of tomfoolery, we ended up indulging all kinds of tangent like dancing to the macerena resulting to a not-so-serious ootd video.
A lot has asked me about my experience during Bloggers Love Fashion Week- “How was it?” “Did you fall?” “Was it fun?” “What did you wear?” It was great. No, I didn't fall, thankfully. Yes, it was fun. And something comfortable.
Held in a dated studio at Shoreditch, London, BLFW was organised by the lovely Danielle from the Bloggers Love Hub. It’s back with its third season, and although it was a two-day event, I could only make it to Wednesday’s tea party themed event. I thought the area seemed quite dodgy, not where you expect a fashion event to be located. It wasn’t exactly the most fashionable district. Despite that, the studio gave the perfect ambiance: intimacy. Some would disagree due to the overcrowding but I like the fact that there were personal interactions between brands and bloggers which has a much greater impact.
Models were asked to arrive early, so I got the chance to see
brands set up their stations and explore the event before it got busy.
There weren’t any perks of being a VIB (very important blogger) and a model
because by the time the fashion show ended most of the gifts were gifted by
other bloggers. Don't worry I didn't go home empty handed, my gifts consisted of Umberto
Giannini Glam Hair spray and Frizzi serum, two Timeless Truth Bio Celllose
masks, and Slendertoxtea teabags, acai berry slender shake and slender patch. Also goodies included St Kitts Herbery lotion and perfume, and So-cosmetics body
spray. The goodies were far better than LFWend goodies.
My makeup was done by bubbly 18 year old Laurr and I worked with three friendly models, Anita, Misha and Rosemary.
Three designers, Cecille London, Joe Browns and LizaVeta, showcased their SS15 looks and I was
delighted to walk down the runway in 3 outfits per brand. Below is a short
video I created on my catwalk in the outfits.
Ever since the beau bought my first Airmax, I’m still trying
to invest in the sports luxe trend. I knew I wanted to wear my Airforce since I would be doing a lot of walking around London. My version of cute co-ords combine a
90s-style tube skirt and checked bralet top. Ultra clean, but I added a bold vivid
outerwear and an embellished clutch because I’m still in love with prints. Something simplistic turned
into a tough edge.
