Welcome Back!




Although I have been waiting for this to be all finished so I can start sharing with you guys again I don't know where to begin... It's been a busy few months with work as well as getting every ready for my final year of uni where I study fashion. My very good friend Victoria Denham who is really talented in this area has been working really hard to give my blog a make over and make it look for professional so I really hope you guys like it (I love it).

Due to the fact that my label and business is still a baby I have to work really hard every day social networking and working on promotions to help me branch online! Selling online is really hard when your new to it it's consistent work alone and at times get tedious but it's something that has to be done, I juggle my time being a mum, running a house, being an awesome girlfriend and fitting everything in that needs doing to grow my business and now completing my degree. Before I went back to uni I have been setting things in place for my label that is already set and ready to go but is planned over the year to help me balance out uni and running a business. I have also booked some local Christmas fairs and have promo codes and a few sites I sell with which will be listed below so please do take a look and bag a bargain for a loved one this Christmas! 


Last month I launched my latest collection Suited not Booted which is now in portfolio on the top of the page.Before designing the collection I really wanted to think of a concept that would really help me come up with a theme that could be quite different from each other but still ran consistently, I looked into fabrics and found the perfect ones and then everything started falling together so the sketching took place and eventually it was developing. The concept of the collection was a working women of today's society and how so many different women have different roles of work but I wanted to make it versatile and unique. So the prints became my theme and each one represented a different role  from a tattoo artist to a bird watcher. 
Since launching the collection it's been a working progress to get it out there and there's still a lot to do! It's being featured in two magazines one in which in international it's called Urban Coco, it has also been on blogged about by many different blogs a handful of them range from across the seas but it took a lot of networking and a lot of emails but it was so good getting people to write about it!

The last time I blogged I mentioned of the styling I have been doing. I'm still waiting to see the videos so until then I can't say much more in that matter apart from I gained a lot of experience and had a great time! I think after I graduate it will most definitely look into doing more work in that area. The last year since I went self employed I have really started to think about exactly where and want to do in the Fashion industry there's so many roles and always room for what sets you apart from other designers that I have been exploring different avenues and want to continue putting my hands in different baskets, I also think through the research I have been gathering for my Final Collection for uni has made me think of other aspects I want to delve into! I will be posting a separate post about my collection with images of my research and promo stuff so keep your eyes peeled :)
