Model magic

-
Now I know I have already blogged about The Model Agency but I completely take back what I said in my previous blog about India being the agencys best new face. After watching last night she stupidly missed a skype session with MARIO TESTINO. (Yes really) because of 'mis-communication'. Im sorry but EXCUSE ME!?

I have never seen a young girl thats been thrown into such an amazing life be so un grateful. She came home from New York fashion week, decided to quit modelling and missed the chance to talk to one of the worlds best photographers because she got told she couldnt put on weight. Shes a model....shes isnt allowed to put on weight!

HOWEVER.

Along came Leomie Anderson.
The one they thought would want to come home crying from New York and wouldnt flourish in the industry......last night she was walking for Marc Jacobs. Flying from London to Paris and being escorted to the bathroom to prevent agencies sweet talking her. Talk about high flying.

Shes also been referred to in the same group as Naomi Campbell as being one of the most sought after english black girls in the modelling world. 

The most humbling part of it all?
When asked what she would buy after being paid £75,000 for her Paris catwalks?
"I would buy my mum a house and have it decorated for her, its something we've never been able to afford'

xoxo.

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
