Nail Care – How to keep your claws classy whilst modelling

April 23, 2018April 17, 2018Leave a comment

As important as skincare is for modelling, you can't forget to look after your fingernails. As lots of models pose with their hands near their face, it is essential to make sure your claws are well looked after. I remember a two week period where I almost had a shoot everyday. Each shoot was a … Continue reading Nail Care – How to keep your claws classy whilst modelling

Monthly Outfit Recap – March

April 20, 2018April 17, 20182 Comments

March was a very intense month. It was the month I worked on my website in secret and had heaps of shoots booked. It was the month I ramped up my health and fitness but also wore some pretty groovy outfits.

  Las Fridas Photographic Exhibition “From Painter to socialist to fashion icon, Frida Kahlo was celebrated both during her lifetime and decades later after her legacy gave birth to a new generation of Mexican artists”. Frida Kahlo has long been an influential figure in my life as I admired her strength, unique beauty and how … Continue reading That’s a Wrap: Las Fridas

Yes I know it's already April but when you have an amazing month of outfits you still need to share them!

Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
