and clearly no time to be posting an update.

I do apologise for the lack of updates on here. I've recently just gotten myself a promotion at work, to 40 hours a week in the stockroom. I like being in the stockroom, it is really fun, and I get to see all the new lines before they get put out onto the shop floor. You can really see that winter is on the way with all the colour way packages coming in quite quickly and especially all the knitwear that is on the way too.

As much as I love the cold weather, and being able to wrap up nicely and wear warm clothes, I'm always one for the summer sunshine. In the future I plan to move away, I'm not sure where it's a tough choice between LA or NY, I really do hope that one day I will be able to follow up my career there. I've also recently applied to get into the British College of Styling, to get myself a diploma in the area of fashion I love most. Fingers crossed though that I get onto the course. It's an online course which is great for me with my heavy working schedule, I just hope that I get accepted for the course.

What is everyone's views on the fashion weeks up to date so far? I think they've been spectacular! I envy my sister because each LFW she get's to go down to work for the events team with MAC to do the makeup on the models before the shows. I would love to be able to work backstage and for the styling of the models. Would be an amazing experience. Watching some of the fashion shows and seeing all the display set up's is amazing, I love how creative and unique each one becomes.

Topshop Unique's show was amazing, it caused quite a uproar in the press also, as it was long awaited for LFW. The styles being quite simple and monochromed, with dark shades of navy and pastel shades of pink, with the use of a silver splashes here and there compliment the collection really nicely. The use of Grime's for this video is great too, as she is an amazing performer. Her voice is quite unusual and unique, which fits nicely with the Topshop Unique collection. 

I love watching all the fashion shows, because they get me so inspired, and give me that small boost of motivation to get designing again. Fingers crossed I get more motivation and start knocking up some ideas, because I do really love the designing just as much as I enjoy the styling. 

So on that note, I'm going to dig out a sketchbook and see where the creative flare takes me. If you guys are on tumblr, I am currently enjoying Tumblr loads and have set up a blog on there too, mostly pictures and videos I like but do check it out!

From Autumn To Ashes - Autumn's Monologue (+lyrics)

Always loved this song, it got me through 2010 for the first 6 months when I was in placement, and in a very sad moment of my life. The whole album is amazing, by From Autumn to Ashes - The Fiction We Live. I always felt this should've been used on the soundtrack for the twilight movie, because it fitted so well, along with more songs by them.

Late Night Ponders

Lying in bed. Thinking whilst watching Disney Pixar's Ratatouille. So much has been going on that I am actually looking forward for the future months coming.

It's the time also, that time when students go back and kids go back into their education holes. However now that I don't really study I'm really enjoying working fulltime!! My job at present is super fun!! It makes me want to learn so much the more I go in!!

Based on fashion terms however I just want everything I see haha! I cannot resist and cannot help myself from always looking at things. I always find too that when you work in retail especially clothing it helps you in some way to create a look and style that you feel most comfortable with as you have access to stock you wouldn't have always got to see unless you were shopping. I love being on the fitting room at work because it's interesting to see the types of people who shop their, and the sort of things they choose to buy. You can get a feel for how they would wear an item or style an item when talking to them and giving them advice.

I love helping people shop!! And styling people up! I just love giving people a subtle push into wearing something they've always wanted to try or like and never went through with owning it. Wear what you feel most comfortable in but remember to make sure it's flattering against you, and if it's something you wouldn't normally go for but absolutely love, give it a chance and enjoy wearing something new in your life.

When it comes to fashion treat it like your personality. Don't go too overboard with stuff. Remember it has to still deem amazing for when other people are witnessing what you have.

Ok so I'm gunna get some shut eye. Take it easy!!!

Loads of love, A
