FRESH START!


Wowzers. Just wow.

So much has happened in a space of 48hours! I went on my hot date, which was perrrrrfect. And then, I got my results!

I got a B in Media Studies (YAY), in Government and Politics I got a C, then in English Lit I sadly got a D, but that doesn't matter, is still a pass at the end of the day!

But the even bigger news of the day is..... drum roll please....... I'M MOVING TO LONDON!!!!!!!
I got into London Metropolitan University, to do a joint degree in Public Relations and Event Management!! I return from L.A on the 16th September and then move to uni pretty much straight away! Its going to be an amaaaaazing year!

Judgment day...

...Is fast approaching!

Tomorrow I get my A-Level results, it completely determines where I go to university, where I live, and maybe more importantly; what country I'm going to live in!

I found a quote on Snippets of Wisdom, that really made me feel not more confident about my results because what is done is done and I can't change that now, but it made me feel more confident about how to cope with the already done stuff....

"Failure is not an option- because it doesn’t exist. Failure is just one critical step on the path to success. You can start over any time you choose, no matter what mistakes you made in the past. You can change anything with a new attitude and new mindset. Winners know that it’s the comeback that counts."

Good luck with any of you getting your results tomorrow, and if they aren't what you expected or hoped for then honestly, it isn't the end of the world. You should take every crossroads that you come to in your life as an opportunity for reinvention of the self and to start a new road to your success!

Other news in my life, I have a hot date tonight, tables booked for 8:30 and that is all I know right now! I'm nervously excited........

Emily is doing fabulously, everytime I see her I go weak on the insides, who knew a teeny tiny baby could do that to you? I miss her when I'm not with her and when I am I hold her as tight as possible (without being cruel obviously!) My whole family is completely infatuated with her <3

Well have a lovely day and what not, the sun is shining here, I can here my mum blasting Michael Jackson downstairs (she's obsessed), I am gonna go to the gym, and just be happy today. So you have no reason not to SMILE :) XO

P.S Only 13 days until I'm in California! Soooo excited! I'm still needing your tips on all the coolest places and things to do in L.A!

I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET.....

'EMILY'

Everybody, meet the newest addition to my already huge family, but by no means any less special, Emily.
Born on Sunday 16th August at 2:32am, she weighed 6lbs8oz.

I love her.



Smile. Because you can. Because nature is such a beautiful and wonderful thing. Be thankful, and just smile. XO

'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

'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.
SMILE XO

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.
- Lily Allen


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 :)

I'M COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here are some pics from my amazing trip to California last year to visit my family. AND GUESS WHAT! I'M GOING BACK!

Since I was a little girl I always dreamed of living in America, then my mum got married and my step fathers family all live in America. So now I have a free place to stay any time I can afford a plane ticket to California.

I'm so excited about the trip this year though! I've had a stressful year, what with college, my exams, breakups, hook ups, more breakups. Its just been chaos!

I'm heading to LAX on the 1st of September, my flight lands at approx 14:35 in the afternoon. And guys I'm so excited. On my old blog I posted the run up and how excited I was, as I don't hav that blog anymore i'll just have to do it on here instead! There will be a countdown, all my feelings and all my preparations, after all, this is what this blog is all about, my mission to get out of England and into warmer climates with endless opportunites.

Love to you all, SMILE! I am and probably will be for the next 36days!
XO

11 days until the fashion show!
36 DAYS UNTIL I GO TO CALIFORNIA!

p.s To any of my love American readers!
I'm going to L.A by myself this year (I normally go with the parents), and staying with my two 20 something year old cousins, do you have any tips of cool places, cool things to do whilst i'm out there? I'm out there for 2 weeks! Love to you all xo
