Back to Blog?

Hey guys I'm back to blogging, haven't done this in a while because my life has been mayhem that's one way to put it. Tell you one thing though although my life maybe full of drama I have learnt loads of things and now I can say I can deffo count my true friends on one hand. but heyho its winter and im mega excited with the colours and styles that the designers are giving out! At the moment red is my favourite its classy and vibrant and it just makes you look sophisticated. I wore a red dress to a John Lewis interview and stood out because everyone else was wearing black and white after all it was a fashion job i was applying for and thats not the only thing ive applied for. Since leaving college i worked at primark working in a nursery worked in another fashion shop and now im working at matalan woo! Told you my lifes been mayhem since i last blogged.
Anyways back to the colour red oooofffft got to love it! topshop do some amazing pieces from dresses to shoes and i just want them if only topshop did plus size i would be there every week. After looking in fashion magazines I just want to rob a bank and buy everything after a girl cant have too many shoes or bags.
My favourite item of them month is the little fitted red dress to me it had certainly replaced the little black dress its in shops like tesco topshop westcoat revolve its jus an amazing garment.

 F&F crepe fitted flare skirt dress 25.00 pounds


To keep with the red theme yesturday I went shoppng with the boyfriend and his sister around Mansfield and went into newlook i wanted everything and i seen THE dorothy shoes its the  "the click your heels three time momen"

Chinese Laundry Glitter Heels - 54.99 pounds 
 they do have them in red but couldnt find them on the website.

With this cute little outfit that i have put together you can also instead of the red shoes team it with the classic black or maybe gold. The black makes it look classy and then gold makes you look like your ready for the Christmas party.

Well I hope you all are having a gorgeous summery fantabulous summer, hope youve got the most sexiest tans ever. In the past three months its been mayhem nightmare but all you can think of is positivity and keep you head held high, I mean that's all you can do.
I can certainly say this summer has been forfilled with bright and bold fashion and we all love it. Its been an expensive summer brought loads of holiday clothes then couldnt resist buying three dresses from work naughty me! I did some little research on forecasting sites and you cant say no to the autumn/winter collections that are coming soon. The colours are just breathe taking and the fabrics lovely wools and tweed I cant wait to get into my wooly jumper tube skirt and tights all snuggled up with a fur hat and red rosey cheeks, walking down a country lane with bright yellow, red, purple and brown leafs yeah okay Leah dont get too carried away.
By the way readers I will be blogging more now that I've finished college and working some days of the week so I can share my views on fashion on the world events and just have a little rant, there will be changes to the blog and more pictures so do enjoy :)

Pop the champaigne bottles and kick balloons.

It's nearly June finally! The start of my summer and a very expensive month for me, too many birthdays but I guess I cant complain as im going to be 18 in a week =D ah yes, very exciting! Cant wait to see the family and celebrate with the friends.
The only thing is.. if you can remember is that a couple of months a go i did an article about me loosing ALOT of weight well, Ive lost around two stone and i feel great but still look like a lump, and i got a dress that my mother had to alter because it was too big, tried it on last night and like it was big again.. i keep saying to myself 'i seriously need to stop loosing weight' because none of my clothes fit me aha. Anyways back to the dress, yes too big so mothers got to resize it this weekend what a nightmare! and to top it off i have not got any shoes to go with and my shoe collection is pretty big like my bag collection. So the money i was saving for my car now has to been spent on shoes and dresses just to go out for two nights!

I wonder what your worst nightmare about fashion is, leave a message its always interesting and sometimes funny!

I now have two jobs (yay me) I work at a top nursery and still at Primark. Ive never felt so tired in my life, start work at quater past seven in the morning and then not walking into my house till twenty five to seven in the evening, its a long day but all youve got to think about is the money. Im still at college as well so i work most days in the week, college thursday and then Primark saturday so i only get sundays off!
After all the working hard and slaving over a till at the weekend i have had time to see the family and we recently went to the national water sports centre in west bridgeford nottingham, to celebrate my cousin and brothers birthday, white water rafting is so nerve wrecking! You will never see me in a wet suit going down the rapids haha.

Plus size modeling

The thought of doing plus size modeling is like a dream! After watching the model agency it has in a way inpspired me but it also has depressed me because just the thought of not being thin and not having THE facial structure. In magazines and newspaper's you hear about size zero model and celebrities who claim they dont have an eating disorders which they do and its clear they do. A lot of girls from the tender age of fourteen want to have the perfect body and want to have the perfect hair and skin and they all want to be thin and pretty. Well you can be the normal weight or plus size and still be gorgeous.
A lot of my friends are thin and have done modeling but then gave it up, the photos did look amazing but its just looking like a skeleton with clothes on.
Plus size modeling is all about natural beauty and showing off curves and being proud of who you are. I'm wanting to go into modeling because its something I personally think I will enjoy and gain confidence from it. Ive recently lost loads of weight and gained confidence from working in a retail environment. Through the stressful time that have recently gone off I think I need time to live life and make new memories.

-People call me a poser and say I'm photogenic so let's put it to practice and see what happens.

From Nottingham to London

 
Yesturday it was a six o'clock start to be enroute to London at eight, which I personally was not looking forward to. It took the Fashion Retail class four hours with only one stop, never stopped at a service station but the food prices were so expensive! When we drove into london we got caught in traffic and the driver didnt know where he was going. But in the end we arrived at Camden and was ready to do research.

Camden is a lovely place, full of independant designers and boutiques. Some of the shops are amazing because they either have crazy signs or huge statues standing outside. Obviously Camden has been created around the stables as you can see from the hores. Inside the stables its a like a carboot sale, but the items are really unique. You can find some real bargins but then you get some expensive accessories and garments. It was nice to see something different as you dont have this back in Nottingham which is a shame!


Next stop was the famous Oxford street. The only thing that was letting me down was the tubes, put it this way im not a big fan of them. We didnt go to Oxford straight away, we got the tube to Carnaby street, which is a lovely place apart from it was tooo busy and there were loads of forigners. Me and Esther got a bite to eat then headed of to Oxford. I wanted to find Primark as that was my research on how people treat the main store and looked at the layouts. I was dissapointed because I walked in and was surprised to see everything everywhere because it was that busy. I went upstairs to have a look at the accessories and compared to the Nottingham one we have got more space and loads of more choices, the bags were just dumped on the shelves and not hung up. We actually seen people just sat on the floor sorting out their purchases and getting in the way. It wasnt a pretty site.

I have to say London is not the place for me. It was far to busy for my liking and what is it with all the people stearing! Its like youve walked into a different world. Towards the end we all met at Hyde park and got the coach back and yet it took us four hours but I did not fall asleep! To say we started off at eight and didnt get back till nine it was in good timing. London is alright for those who love to shop all the time, but im the sort of person who likes to be in quiet places and someone who wants my own space

When the world becomes you!
