Exposure PR Visit.

Hey Everyone. My apologies for the lack of blog posts recently, I have had some trouble with my gmail account and it wouldn't allow me to publish my posts, anywho I am back now with lots of news for ye all. 

We took a visit to Exposure PR offices with the college recently and it was a really fun and informative trip. We learned lots on how to approach PR personnel and how to go about borrowing clothes, which of course is super helpful advice for the business we all hope to go into. And as ever, its really not what you know but more importantly, who you know? So a smiling face, bubbly personality and hard working attitude helps to get you places in the fashion world, I think that's manageable.. Maybe? 

 Here are some pictures I took of the storerooms and the brands they carry, which include Dr.Martens, Hunter, Nike, Terry de Havilland and Christopher Raeburn. 

Nike.

The Beautiful Showroom, I was in my element!

I really learned alot from the trip to Exposure, and their offices were stunning! Fashion PR is definitely an area I am interested in working in and hopefully one day I will !

One for the Girls.

Henry Cavill

Oh boy. How has this all British all beautiful creature escaped my obsessive celebrity radar until now. Genuinely, I believe that I am well and truly in love. I have to admit I am way more guilty of having girl crushes rather than the norm of swooning over R-Pats and the like (not that I don't partake in that every now and then ) but this man/piece of art is just AH-MAZE-ZING.

From a styling point of view it cant exactly be said that he is adventurous with his style. He keeps it nice and simple, shirts and slacks or jeans are the go-to for this guy. Really though, with a face like that even I don't care what the guy is wearing (ok within reason of course).This actor keeps it super cool and laid back but I like it. Its flawless and ever so sexy

He played a leading role in the popular television series The Tudors, which somehow has also managed to escape me. I might just have to run out and grab myself that box set and most recently he starred in movies such as Immortals and Cold Light of Day. So not only is he beautiful but he is talented, double swoon.

Doing my ''research'' I came across this gem of a website with some more than flattering pictures of Henry, (yes,we are on first name basis now). Click on this link for more pics, http://www.homorazzi.com/article/sexy-brit-henry-cavill-the-tudors-charles-brandon-shirtless-pictures-gay-man-crush-immortals/ ..Oh and you can thank me later ;)

Time & Leisure Magazine:First Editorial Shoot.

On Wednesday last I styled my very first editorial look for Time & Leisure magazine.It took place in a great studio in The Worx, where LCS is based and they provided a hair and make-up team, photographer and great models for all us students to avail of.

Time & Leisure is a monthly magazine with a predominantly female readership ages between 25-50 years old. This shoot was challenging as we not only had to achieve an attainable look for the readership but also comply with a theme representing, 'London's Fashion Scene'.

Inspiration is not hard to come by when you live in London. The streets are full of creative looking people who aren't afraid to show their own style. So I took to the streets to see what look I could come up with that  oozed London. The pictures above are of all the individual items I sourced to create the look that I felt reflected London's fashion scene.

On the day of the shoot, each student got equal time with hair and make-up and the photographer to shoot the look. It was such an exciting day and really gave me a sense of what my job could possibly be like some day!

I was really pleased with my final look and was lucky to have such a great model. The aim of my look was 'scruffy glamour' because to me that is what Londoners style is all about.  

London's Calling: Scruffy Glamour.

A glimpse at the whole styling.

Mise, altering my look on model Pattie.

This was an invaluable opportunity given  to us by LCS because although we were kindly assisted along the way with creating our vision it was ultimately our own choice in hair, make-up and styling that was the final image which was shot for the magazine. I had an amazing, exciting day and I cannot wait for Editorial Day take 2!
