'After the show' episode...

So these are a few more photos from MODA, sorry its taken so long to post them up! I've had the most incredible weekend! (See next post..)

I hope you like the pics, we raised overall nearly £1000, had 4 newspapers feature stories on the show and most importantly, we had the most fabulous experience organising all this. I am so thankful to everyone who helped us make the show such a success x

The last pic is of us recieving flowers from our mums, who were so proud of us, the lady handing me (on the right) is Jaz's mummy, therefore the one on the left is my mummy, she was so proud of me, and I was so proud that I had made her so proud of me. Wow, what a tongue twister haha.

SMILE (its a good day) XO

15DAYS UNTIL CALIFORNIA! XO

'the show' photo episode

Today is actually the Miss Teen Queen Finals, the competition that all the fashion show efforts were in aid of. So a big shout of to Jazzy Fizzle my besty bestest friend, I hope all your dreams come true today baby!

The pics above are of the actual catwalk show, my photographer has only sent me 30 photos at the mo, so these are all the photos that even I've seen! I hope you like them :)

Have a lovely day, and SMILE, because you can. XO

(19days until California!- I still want tips on the coolest places to eat, the greatest places to shop and everything in between please!)

'before the show' photo episode.

Jasmin & I, just before the show, we were quickly grabbed by our great friend and fabulous photographer Lily to get a snap of us. Oh boy were we busy, but we had such a great time.

There was a champagne and strawberry reception but we grabbed a few glasses to give the models some courage before the show ;)

One of our fabulous models being made up by our equally as fabulous Benefit make up ladies, so so many people kindly donated their own time to help us out with the fashion show. I am so thankful to them for helping us to make it such a success.

Another one of our beautiful models having her make up done for the big show! They looked so beautiful, I was so proud of them, I quickly caught like 10 seconds of the catwalk show and a tear fell down my cheek. Quite sad really!

The final pic of the 'before the show' episode of photos, another of our models having her hair done by yet another fabulous individual who gave up her time to be a hair stylist for the show.

You like? More photos added soon.

busy bee week

Well well well, where to start....

It has been one of the busiest weeks of my life, and oh boy did I pay for it.

The fashion show was a fabulous success! It was a crazy day, I hadn't eaten for nearly 4days so I was shattered, but I got through it, and had an amazing time, it is a great experience to put in my portfolio which I will be readily showing around! I will post some pictures of the event very soon. Oh and by the way, we raised nearly £1000! How incredible is that for two 18 year old first time event planners........

After the event I was drained, went to stay at my dads for a few days (minus laptop), oh and the amazing happened, I got tonsillitis again! This post HERE only in June was when I last had it :(

So laptop-less, bacteria riddled, bored bored bored, I've been watching a lot of films, a lot of Hills, and lots of thinking about my trip to L.A.... (ONLY 20DAYS!)

Feeling completely better now about love, life and my impending A-Level results on thursday, me and my mother had a heart to heart about my future, we visited my potential university yesterday, was a lot of fun, road trip with my mum.

Anywho will get the pics up as soon as possible.

SMILE guys and girls, be happy with what you've got XO

this clear blue sky

Since you've been gone, I've lost that chip on my shoulder.

Since you've been gone I feel like, I've gotten older.

I feel like I'm in a tropical paradise. I'm free, as a bird. I'm swimming in a pool of crystal clear blue water. I'm bathing in the rays of golden glowing sunshine.

The fashion show is coming up very fast 4days until its all over. I'm trying to make sure I think of this as fun, and not getting stressed, but lets just say its hard...

L.A is coming up just as quickly, only 30days until I'm on that aeroplane, all by myself, setting off on this big adventure, of fun, shopping, and getting that one step closer to fulfulling my dreams.

Another big date that is coming up is my A-Level results day. The 20th August, I basically get told whether I am allowed to go to university do to the course of my choice at the places that I want to.... Its a day I've been dreading for pretty much the last two years, and its coming and theres definitely no escaping it. Its going to be one of those moments where you really realise how hard you have to work to get what you want in life.

Sorry for my philosophical rant there. I hope you've all had a lovely weekend.

SMILE, because it uses less muscles than frowning :)
