So, I made it! I was picked out of my whole year, along with 2 other girls, to go to GFW, for the Marketing and Branding competition. Unfortunately none of us won, but what an achievement to have made it so far!!
I got through to the GFW stage for my Final Major Project, which was based on re-designing and re-branding Jewellery by Vanya, a lovely little vintage inspired, fashionable jewellery brand. I created a new website and marketing report as well as redesigning the business cards and a few added extras. I was really pleased with my project, which I got a First for!! :D So was even more ecstatic when my tutor asked me to go to GFW.
We (UCA Rochester Fashion Promotion Students) also had an exhibition of out own, at the OXO Tower, which was amazing. There were so many more people at the event than I had ever imagined there would be and it turned out to be a really fabulous evening.
Seeing other peoples work at GFW was also very inspiring, the way some people displayed their work, and the ideas they had was incredible, not to mention all the fabulous clothes designed by the students!
Well done to everyone who was there!
And remember to share a smile!
:D

Hello everybody,
First things first, let me apologise for my lack of blogging!!! It has been an exciting but manic month!
I have finally finished university for good, graduating on the 13th of July 2011 with a 2:1 to my name. I am incredibly proud of this, and although its a part of my life that is over, i will never stop learning and am ever so excited for the future.
I, like most girls, went through a stage of uncertainty, I did not know who I was, or what I truly wanted out of life. I was in limbo.
Thankfully, in what felt like an overnight change, I have woken up a much happier and more positive person. A lot has changed in my life, and I am finally on the path I want to be on. It was hard, but I can safely say I have never been happier!!!
After finishing university I had a serious think about what I wanted and where I wanted to go. After detoxing my life and getting an amazing placement with InStyle magazine, I started to realise that not only was I happy, with thanks to the people close to my heart, but I knew what I wanted and where I wanted to go...
And that was the beginning of the next chapter...
Enjoy

Ok so yesterday was quite tough. :(
I find I wake up feeling okay, but gradually get hungrier, despite the fact that i may have eaten :/ How is this possible!!!
I have been eating plenty of fruit and veg and drinking lots of water, so I am actually feeling quite healthy and refreshed. :D
Today I can eat bananas as the plans guidelines say no bananas to begin with :/ I have never been so excited for a banana lol.... still desperate for my nandos or KFC buddy, but despite the extensive invites out for pub lunches in the sun, I have not caved in!!!!! Actually quite proud of myself.... let's hope it does the trick :)
As I may have mentioned this detox is a 7 day only plan with the benefit of losing weight, now we are half way through.... To weigh or not to weigh that is the question????
Have fun in the sun and keep your eyes peeled for the next update!

Sooo summers nearly here and the body hang up list keeps on growing...
I, like every girl, have a thing or two I dislike about my body... Okay, maybe more than two, but you don't want to hear me rabbling on about all that...
The sun has brought out the initial steps of WANTING to go on a diet.. but what I actually do about that want never seems to follow on.
I like food, I'm a foodie!! The type of girl who goes on a date and orders a big steak and chips!! or Nandos! not a salad!!! All I need is someone to share a KFC dipping platter with and I am a happy bunny...
Or at least I would be if I could eat until the cows came home without putting on any weight, but wouldn't we all hey?!?!?
So this easter I have officially started a detox diet, designed to detox your body and leave you feeling good and refreshed (With the added bonus of weight loss) :)
It's only day two, and day 1 was hell, but today I felt as if I had been re-started, like a button had been hit and I was ready to go! Soooo no problems there then... Tomorrows another day though! So keep an eye open for the latest update in the dreaded diet journey!!! :)
