<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are new to my page and do not follow my <a href="http://twitter.com/_oliviazara" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/oliviazara" target="_blank">Instagram</a> socials, you wouldn't know that late last year I put on an event named <a href="http://livvyy.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=black+market" target="_blank">Black Market UK - Christmas special</a>. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It all started from the idea I had around how black owned businesses — which I am familiar with consuming — in the UK are going to market their products during the Christmas season.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was a wonderful experience where I was able to engage with my community of creative UK black entrepreneurs in s physical space in one of the hotspot market areas European. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, I was pleased to talk about my experience around marketplace developing and my goals for <a href="https://twitter.com/BLACKMARKET_UK" target="_blank">@blackmarket_uk</a> with the 2nd years of my degree course (BA Fashion PR & Communication) at my Lime Grove campus last week Thursday. I was invited to talk about my experience and listen to a project which the 2nd years are undertaking with a well-known marketplace area within London. It was a thrilling experience to stand up in front of one of my lecturers regarding my experience of events and PR during and after uni. To think I use to be terrified of speaking in public and now I’m so use to doing it, it feels like nothing !</span></div>

<div class="" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="" style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">From the iconic double C by Chanel to the monogram of Louis Vuitton passing through Gucci and Balenciaga, the trend is<b class=""> logomania</b>.</span></div>
<div class="" style="color: #454545; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br class="" /></span></div>

<div class="" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="" style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">I don’t know about you guys, but I never thought I would see what the world of fashion will re birth a luxury brand delving into logo mania post Gucci. Gucci came, lived and seat on the throne of logo and excess - but Fendi is coming for edges. Amazing to observe influencers and celebrity’s of certain backgrounds wearing full Fendi logo outfits.</span></div>

It's been along while since I have posted, or even been active on social media apart from on Twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/_oliviazara" target="_blank">are you following me</a>? If you lurve God, luxury fashion - I talk a load about that, black business within the UK? - I talk a lot about that and lingerie crisis ? (I suffer with being a size UK12 except God anointed my cup to runneth "plus size") - I blast on the chance the subject comes up ^_^</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But back to apologising for not being active - I've been going through some things. At 24 I'm still observing low-key madness with acquaintances overstepping their mark, mean-girl movie style backstabbing attempts, confidence (we'll get to that in this post) and honestly a broken iPhone camera haha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The older I become, the more I evaluate and observe the people around me; growing up I've watched my mother keep so call friends around because they 'grew up on the estate, mothers got their hair did on the Saturday, went to school blah blah blah' and I'd be damned if I followed such a practise in the matter of <u>quantity</u> over <b>quality</b>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There has been an instance this year where I have had to ask myself when releasing myself from some people '<i>am I the problem</i>?' and God revealed simply; '<b>You are enough</b>'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gosh I love having Abba on my side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The world as a homegirl says 'is truly going mad' and will have you thinking that you are a problem but really and truly you as a person are enough when you are :</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Truthful</b> - to a situation </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Honest</b> - to your peace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Forgiving</b> - to the world you are in and surround yourself in</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Knowing who you are in Christ will have you walk differently (blessed), talk differently (blessed) which will be received by many (including frenemies) as 'over the top', 'assertive', 'ignorant' and sometimes 'arrogant' .<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
You ever notice somebody finds a problem when you publicly dedicate literally every small and big victory to God but are chilled when you thank the universe? </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A prime example of the world, going, absolutely mad.</b></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This honestly lead me to low-key not post myself on the gram, go out with a group of my girls etc etc. I was afraid of the image I would put myself on not correlating with the feelings I was experiencing with presently , carrying on day after day at the view of the world (people that claim to know me) at a higher authority than my own, immaculate creator.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You see, God is who I call - the Picasso of Picasso's. Who cannot tell me nothing about his work of art. So why do we look at the poison in Instagram likes?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>On Christ the solid rock I (and you) will stand / On other ground (Instagram / Twitter / workplace with co-workers who befriend you simply out of the four walls you share your 8hour shift) is sinking sand.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I share my latest upload, something that I took (obviously at a wedding haha) that I was well pleased to see capture my million dollar smile from an angle ;) </div>

I had been talking with a load of people that felt like 2017 went by soo fast but for me personally, it was as steady as I needed it to be. There were some rocky roads, but what I am eternally grateful for is the lessons learned in 2017, monetary vs trusting individuals; starting some new and exciting things that I would never imagined to have done and truly running my own pace. Speaking with my chest in negotiations and actively focusing on the things that I love despite butting heads with those people who I use to be their personal yes-man to.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
November and December, however went extremely fast, I couldn't keep up with my business and YouTube, had the chance to write an amazing piece on my thoughts of what Alexandra Shulman wrote for the BoF, and received such great feedback anddddddd launched my 1st solo project independent from a company. Through the last two months of 2017, I learnt similar things about myself when i was living and working in NYC but at a London capacity. Lessons were familiar and solved much quicker because my contacts were based in the city, some 3 -6 miles away from me at the very most. Also, not like I care anymore to observe - but you have to check yourself - but realising your 'friends' that made the excuse of not supporting you get highlighted in green (I hate green highlighter lol) as absolute BS'ers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wouldn't trade 2017 for a peaceful mind, I was rattled but came out with my frontal still in tact and onlooking to the future with high hopes ordained by God Almighty (you better watch out)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Resolutions though ? More like promises</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Entertaining comes at a cost</b> : If you don't have much value for the moment I am about to engage with you, I will not participate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Enjoy</b>: life, flip I'm 24 in a couple days and the two things my mum continually asks is to have much more fun and when are I going to start dating ?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Prioritise</b> : Happiness, I'm a self-confessed workaholic, intended me-time is essential, healthy and well deserved </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you haven't been following my social media, you have been missing out ! I launched my first project with the help of cool and encouraging black creatives for a black market. It got featured in the <a href="https://twitter.com/TheVoiceNews" target="_blank">Voice</a> newspaper print and online and the event (as my first ever) was outstanding. Check out the coverage <a href="http://voice-online.co.uk/article/make-it-black-christmas-urge-bame-entrepreneurs" target="_blank">online</a> and don't forget to follow <a href="https://twitter.com/BLACKMARKET_UK" target="_blank">BlackMarket_UK</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, the phrase 'psychology and fashion has been out in the atmosphere lately, <a href="https://twitter.com/CapitalMoments" target="_blank">Capital Moments </a>gave me the chance to write my views on the topic within fashion. <a href="http://www.capital-moments.com/psychology-of-the-designer-handbag/">Here's the link </a></div>

I have just come across the official imagery surrounding the HM x Erdem collaboration coming out next month.

Paris, the capital of France, also known as my next door neighbour. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My convenient next door neighbour to be precise, she always has something sweet to offer me and this normally includes a range of favourites that are available at home but you see Paris forces me to really enjoy each favourite with time and ease. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paris is the home of my most treasured brand, Dior, where the birth of the 'New Look' impacted my understanding of the female body some 40 years later after her arrival.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just as I said in my trailer, some visit Paris in the name of love, relaxation or to conspicuously buy. Maybe one day I'll experience those things but for now the purpose of Dior and art are suiting me just fine ^_^</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is something quite new for me, opening speaking about my faith but as I see; my blog over the years really just shares my experiences and reflects on new things.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Be it observing the how the industry that i have studied/ work in is evolving for the better / worse or simply sharing something I learnt personally whilst attending something major and central to the stage of life that i’m at.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Marriage has been a hot topic amongst my circle recently, it’s so weird because I’m only 23, Olivia-Zara YOU ARE ONLY 23 !</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My older cousins at the age 23 were only worrying about the latest hairstyle they’re gonna do for their 3 day weekend long raving extravaganza.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nowadays with the help of social media like Instagram, weddings are happening every other day (I once went to 3 within one day), and:</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When is it your turn </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ooo, I loved her facebeat </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The decor/food wasn’t enough </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Did you notice so and so wasn’t there ? *inserts conspiracy evaluation* </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t hang out with judgemental people (well- I appear dismissive but when appropriate), but what I just frown upon is how caught up one may be around the importance of the ceremonial activities.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Which prompted me to write this post (and slide in my my featured traditional wedding pose picture). I went along to a wedding as a guest of my sister-in-Christ with her school friend from wheyyy-back (add the south london accent). Mind you, I did not know the couple, but I connected with them through joy because of what they represented.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jesus, not only do they represent him, but the action of proceeding together in the ministry of marriage represents the love of Jesus at the very core. This was just marvellous to witness, and fulfilling in the sense that such a young couple displayed this in such beauty. I come from a family where marriage is truly seen in 2 spectrum - an achievement or an imaginary fairytale . It’s amazing how society sprinkles a little bit of sugar of social media topped with Instagram icing (the heavier, the better) can really cloud one’s judgement of what love has to do with marriage and that marriage is after the wedding day.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This was just comforting to experience as you know, Londoners may get lost in the wedding fiasco sauce but mediating on Ephesians 5:21-33 and witnessing the face value of that union being established a few weeks back gave me peace, reassurance , I say, a great overall reminder.</span></div>

So who has had a peep at my September video ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
NYFW has little run passed me as quick as the blink of an eye however with the return of Tom Ford to NYFW, I am reminded yet again in a fresh and slick manner, a tuxedo is an important investment in ones wardrobe (worn together or as separate). Romance is younger and fresh floral gardens (as seen throughout Brock Collection) is an attitude I will most probably start practising loosely before I truly adopt by May and Mr Kors has now highlighted how important a good piece of swimwear is for your wardrobe - no excuses !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can you imagine October is next door ? Mind you, I always say, ' Can you imagine ?' but Guys!!! Octoberrrr, as in numero 10, as in Christmas is in 2 months, I'm 24 in less than 15 weeks (Jesus steer the wheel at 20MPH please)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
September has been truly a month of new experiences, some that has me hyperventilating but also miniature breakdowns but only for a moment though ;). What I love about LFW is truly the buzz around the social scene. I always say that I am completely fine with observing though social media platforms like insta stories /snapchat and twitter however, just to be vybing and connecting with the social and creative scenery within the most diverse and interesting fashion capitals is just such an amazing opportunities. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Hopefully I will upload a snippet of my time at Rohmir SS18, which (need I have to mention the obvious) was such an amazing and exciting show ! But meanwhile, would love to connect with you guys more on twitter (I've become a little more chatty nowadays there ;) !<br />

Cristobal Balenciaga has a very interesting designer for myself due to the interesting shapes and type of clientele he had in the early days. Also, Mr Dior referenced Balenciaga as the musical conductor of a haute couture orchestra ^_^. </div>

It was overall, a really cool exhibition as always displayed at the V&A. It forever is amazing to see the beauty of such great historical pieces kept in such great condition. I met some pieces of work from Harrods in the early days and was surprised yet learned of such relationships that the store had with the brand too. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post and video was inspired by <a href="https://twitter.com/mercedesfbenson" target="_blank">Mercedes Benson</a> whom I've been following for some time now, but during a panel discussion a Girl Boss UK around the subject matter of CV's and Cover Letters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having experience with recruiting (it was only interns when I was working within agency) I was inspired alongside with those two beautiful women mentioned above to do a video about CV's and cover letters in the PR field of fashion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From what I remember Mercedes simply explained that if an advertisement asks for a cover letter then add it in, if not then it's entirely up to you. So lets not overlook simple requirements and show recruiters the best version of us in all ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the best Bajan accent that I have to offer, we simply cannot afford to socialise in a basic zone; NO BASIC's !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You want to be taken seriously within fashion PR, you want to put your best foot forward and you want your vision to be understood before you have to read somebody.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember not caring so much about how my CV looked plus I would try to cram every single thing about myself within one page - failed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though you are apply for a position and showing yourself, you have to reign master over who is reading about you. Allow what needs to be known left on paper, what's intellectual about you left on LinkedIn, what's creative about you through Instagram and what is memorable about you face-to-face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you understand, you'll realise that you never have to fret over spacing or doubt over your CV because it mirrors you !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you enjoy my tips, feel free to share yours and how your CV looks !</div>

Second wedding of the year and I I've noticed that my body really has been changing a lot since I have stopped eating meat (Ima pescatarian now ^_^ ) and I have been exercising a lot lately. Since the last wedding I went too, my confidence has truly become bad and boujee hence why you see me in practically all white for this wedding hahaa ! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What do you think about wearing white to a wedding ? Mind you, I wore it because I knew the bride to be was not wearing white ;) . So I wouldn't have been so bold for it to be worn if it was a close friend of mine ^_^</div>

So we all (should) know what to do within an interview. I can say I have had many many interviews in my undergraduate and postgraduate life and I thought to post a video on my experience in the interviewing atmosphere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My absolute top priority tip that I will share is definitely have something to show for your efforts. The interviewer is clearly interested in you based off your CV, so now you have to basically need to life that CV through action instead of black ink and white paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This is my first interview and I don't have prior experience </b>! <b>What can I show?</b> <i>Interest</i>.</div>
- Whether it be interest within a particular scenario that applies to the brand you are interviewing with or be in within an area where the brand thrives in like social media or technological advancement.<br />
<br />
As I have mentioned, when I entered into university, I had no experience coming in compared to my cohort who had interned at least a full year - 2 years. But I was on a PR course at LCF, I had great organisation skills and with retail and front of house experience - <i>Interest</i>.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img atl="Gif" src="https://38.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ijk9jShj1qdfy6ao2_r2_500.gif" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do remember / re-read the advert of the job before you head into that room, most times clue of what they are looking for are highlighted and then you will elaborate with interest !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you like the latest video uploaded on my <a href="https://youtu.be/DSm0nHeh2_4" target="_blank">YouTube channel </a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Know your worth, and multiply with interest ;)<br />

I have a new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QepJkwFGboc" target="_blank">video ou</a>t ! Have you subscribed to my YouTube channel ?</div>
<br />
<br />
If after watching my video about apply to LCF has not altered your vision of becoming a student at LCF, or a communication based subject majoring with fashion as degree, now lets talk about wisdom before you actually acquire the knowledge of your field ( because as the great Robyn Fenty said,-)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img atl="Gif" src="https://68.media.tumblr.com/4173170b5e9d6c17c87fc4c66748a537/tumblr_n6nzg4uvUv1royh91o1_500.gif" />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
A term that benefits this post, some may say that you don't need to intern, the economy is too tight to work for free in our generation. I get it, everybody understands and dare I say that it stands as a disgusting matter some overlook but it is what makes the skin harder.<br />
<br />
If you have seen an advertisement for a PR role, you may have seen a line like ' no two days are the same' ; add in the back of your mind how also, no two days are worth the same. Sometimes you will be asked to come in on a Sunday morning (via text from your manager who is out of office, out of country for the weekend) and you have to therefore host your hangover in you heels running around London to pick up a look to send to another shoot because you actually don't know if your uber would be reimburse before payday.<br />
<br />
These last minute, time consuming, nearly wanting to curse somebody but should you make a noise you will cry and mess up your make-up are invaluable experiences that no classroom or 30 slide presentation can show, so take the time to appreciate or rule out what you will and will not allow.<br />
<br />
<br />
My personal opinion, take at least one and say you've done it<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As a child/student of fine art and criticising art for majority of my student life, I never aligned classical portraits with characteristics like vanity. Comparing to classical portraits dating back from the late 1400s with today's "selfie" with technology, you can clear see that the denomination of self-control takes place as clearly now as back then !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's amazing how traditional method's within practicing art is still used in modern society but through different mediums. I did not do any research before entering the exhibition so I was pleased to see a wide range from my traditional favourites like Van Gogh, Cézanne and Frida Kahlo.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy June !</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are not subscribed to my <a href="https://youtu.be/NOrjIgU4IuY" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>, there is a new video about my university, London College of Fashion up ^_^. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Depending on how you look at it (in terms of 'wow that's so early' / 'cool you were serious from early ') , I knew from around the age of 15 that I would go to study at LCF, I loved fashion and the concept of journalism and the world of conversation. I don’t remember being heavily immersed in idolising it or looking at the atmosphere that is famously surrounding it. Not until I actually started applying for college did I look a my GCSE results and compared them to my A Level choices to tally up what would make sense in choosing my degree for the next 3 years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NOrjIgU4IuY/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NOrjIgU4IuY?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">UAL, the umbrella that London College of Fashion stands under is a fascinating universe to affiliate yourself with as a young creative individual who would like to build upon skills and venture into the world of the arts in a business like manner. However, as most people would ideally like to turn their hobby/passion into a dream business !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Also, a very interesting thing to share from the Business of Fashion:</div>

Hi Guys! It's currently bank holiday weekend over in London so everyone is pretty chilled towards the end of May. I wish I could say May was a pretty relaxed month but it has been filled with wondrous activities, opportunities and a few hardcore sessions of editing birthing my first ever YouTube video !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I am on <a href="https://youtu.be/F-n_h9HVypY" target="_blank">YouTube</a> ^_^</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always loved editing but I felt so comfortable behind the camera and playing about with editing software at university and college. But speaking with my girls from The Body Studio at Selfridges (we all no longer work there but we still identity ourselves as that), they always persuaded me to upload a stream of vlogs, create video content to tie in with my blog and add some more personality. I never felt like I would belong on YouTube but after some great ides, brainstorming and a sunny morning in London, i filmed my first with Jonathan , hopefully I will be sharing new video content about my experience with LCF, Fashion PR, tips and university life about twice a month (every other week) ! I hope you will enjoy this extended version of me and do feel free to share any topics that you would want me to film.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been well over a week since Gucci released visuals for its pre fall campaign featuring solely black model cast. The moment I saw this, I immediately felt like Todd Tucker in the scene where Mama Joyce shouts out ' my favourite person in the whole world'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiilK8jrCf__9Y5ERDgu7ifbwWS3TQHmdhz_QcVkhfnrkkZWsn03NdDVWqAonSKps7PZzQfiUcNfqeC7HjaoRPJL_lo_6-abrpR9AQekaMH0LuO3JzpGcVZWw9WQkZKXLsoAUiO9iPdw-s/s1600/1208990.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiilK8jrCf__9Y5ERDgu7ifbwWS3TQHmdhz_QcVkhfnrkkZWsn03NdDVWqAonSKps7PZzQfiUcNfqeC7HjaoRPJL_lo_6-abrpR9AQekaMH0LuO3JzpGcVZWw9WQkZKXLsoAUiO9iPdw-s/s640/1208990.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, when I view the launch of campaigns as like everyone who looks for the artistic direction within the campaign; and of course it was amazing, but I am / was in between the state of being confused at the decision of an all black cast ... My fellow industry working 'crew' (as in friends I went to fashion school with and those working within industry sharing their thoughts) thought I was looking into it a little too deep and the non industry ones simply stated that Gucci are promoting black people, be happy and don't make it a big thing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since Gucci has been taken over by Alessandro Michele, I consider the brand as THE empire of street style. For around 3-4 seasons, throughout all of the major fashion capital cities; you will without doubt spot a Gucci piece. I remember Dior had their phase under Raf Simons with the micro bags, bejewelled sneakers from couture right up to the ‘So Real’ glasses! Unlike many of the luxury brands who have their </span>statement<span style="font-family: inherit;"> pieces feature as part of the upcoming and booming street style ensembles, Gucci masters as way of creating pieces that are not considered as 'IT' accessory therefore enhancing its longevity. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You have to admit, before Michele came to the house, what other brand could you solely look for and feel complete with a piece containing rhinestones, sequins, and overall, a quintessential “more is more” vibe? Gucci’s flamboyance perfects the reflection of the attitudes currently towards fashion in today's society. 'More is more' is wonderful, and </span>its<span style="font-family: inherit;"> construction is carefully amassed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I clearly remember Shiona Turnini on instastories clearly displaying her views, which I would also share and point out and I completely agree with her views and encourage everyone to be 'woke' about this situation. I even somewhat compare it to the Pepsi advert that has now been removed but within a more refined and cleverly yet typical fashion </span>etiquette<span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The act of accumulation is something you would think happens the most whence a project so effective like a front cover/main fashion story, campaign or others you would think right? Earlier on this year, announced through WWD, "In the past two years, we have implemented a complete turnaround of our company, following our mantra of being the voice of self-expression," he said. "Attracting, retaining and promoting talent, while celebrating ethnic, age, sexual and gender diversity, sexual orientation and gender identity across the company, is our mission." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But what does that mean when the only person of colour that looks like me is Beyonce and the amazingly uber cool 5 year old Blue Ivy? I mean Beyonce is a lot but only endorsing a black artist like her is not enough. The ideology within the minds of the consumer (whether you heavily consume luxury fashion or subconsciously are aware of topics within this industry) is that a 'congratulations' should be in order because the colour is displayed as the end result. But can you really look at this and not think for a second about exploitation of the worrying subject of race within fashion? A total of 9 looks out of 119 worn by models of colour for Gucci FW17 does not make sense in comparison to a whole black cast expressing the 'soul scene' throwback to the retro 1960s "underground Northern Soul movement". </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.546667098999023px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: justify;">
As a young black professional I know how beautiful it is to be black but disheartening for a wide organisation that I artistically respect to take a form of beauty that I identify with and project as if it is a trend that would die out (Pre fall will not be talked about in 3 seasons time, only as reference to be built on the current 'booming' trend). A fellow <a href="http://olivia-gold.com/street-wear-brands-influcening-luxury-designers/" target="_blank">Olivia</a> discussed how luxury brands are exploring the new normal form of marketing new product/collection.<br />

that silk flower print kimono that Shirley <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BSIt9TlDy2g/?taken-by=shirleybeniang" target="_blank">posted </a>sometime this month got me
thinking lol. For this transitional period though, blush pinks, creams and
nudes along with a cool denim (<i>yay for
tucking the dark denim back into the winter file to not be seen until September</i>!)
are my go to palette for me. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

during this past weekend, I attended my first wedding of 2017. I haven’t been
to a wedding in 2 years! The occasion was so beautiful and intimate, a first

occasion and seeing as I’m so conscious of my body, can you just imagine the

So my 2 am wake up alarm after only laying my head on the pillow around 11pm days have come to a close, everyone is slowly coming back into the office praising the success of the show and the discussions about the tone of the overall season (month and a bit) entails for the future and sets in stone, or maybe what is better to say by confirming the current outcry in society reflected in fashion’s beloved capitals. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obviously (-like part of me screams to myself, ‘dude how many times to you have to emphasis this – but the greater side, which I tend to listen to the most soothes, ‘enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity with gratitude and expression), unless you have been chilling on one of the ‘7 newfound planets’ for the past year, thoughts of the response to the president elect of USA would have definitely been expressed on the catwalks in response to not only the chosen president but his outlandish remarks since in office. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A simple example of this response, that stood out for me, (before we head onto the listing of slogan t-shirts) is to just take a look at the front rows of the major designers like Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, Public School and etc. Then look at those figures and who publicly supported the #SheCan campaign …
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was A LOT that happened during NYFW, my most highlighted part of NYFW though; Halima Aden . It still amazes me as to why in 2017, we are still seeing headlines like ‘<i>this season displayed 14% more models of colour compared to 2014 and up by 3% in the top luxury houses within Paris and Milan’</i>* and completely confuses me that a representative of a culture like Halima’s has not been so fluid as it should be. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why are brands t<u>aking so long to accept everyone from its earlier stages within the end product</u>? There is one thing for me to go into a luxury retail store and seem less anxious to feel profiled because I see someone of colour as a representative of the brand but to not even see a female like me with the same features / religion / understanding modelling it … confuses me as to why these luxury brands are slowly (they’re getting there) using the catwalk to show how culturally accepting they are to its consumers and spectators. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aden also made her way to Milan as Bottega Veneta first’s look but before we head to the fashion land that displayed an array of luxurious fabrics this AW17, we must first travel from the land of the free and Gigi Hadid spotting’s to the land of creativity and soon to be independent from the EU.
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When it comes to London and fashion week, I tend to not watch out for the big brands, so much like a fan or admirer of the brand because many household British brands are under the helm of young designers, -which I absolutely love! London is full of raw talent, but London also has an eclectic social scene. It’s not simply for the swerve editors springing from one show to the other whilst photographer’s circulated the traffic within Soho and WC1 capturing the vibrant and fresh street styles. I’m not going to dwell so much on the summarising the trends and views of London Fashion Week because (I may have another post on that and-) I personally, enjoyed London Fashion week from our good old friend, <b>social media</b>! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you’re thinking huh? You may just be following the wrong people. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I could go on forever and explain how good it felt to watch these parties off Jourdan Dunn’s new collaboration with Misguided or <a href="http://www.pepperyourtalk.co.uk/industry/" target="_blank">Dior</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/PepperYourTalk/" target="_blank">Bediako’s</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BQ3jYdtlXZN/?taken-by=diorrichnconnected" target="_blank">Instagram</a> stories with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melissaswardrobe/" target="_blank">Melissa</a> cutting shapes whilst <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mercedesfbenson/" target="_blank">Mercedes Benson</a> is on the decks and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adwoaaboah/" target="_blank">Adwoa</a> blessing everybody with her presence, but those Instagram stories are but a memory now!

<script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script> However, I’m pretty sure this dope picture of Leomie is enough to say that London is just the place to be when it comes to having a celebratory motive during LFW (shout out to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hairbyhimuk/" target="_blank">Marvin</a> for snatching my edges yet again with the slay).
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now we head to Milan, or as I say, the land of the sultry and scrumptious fabrics (I mean did you look at Bottega Veneta, Prada and Max Mara ?)
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Milan is nowadays a personal focal point for me as I use this time to show prep for my reports (adjusting deadlines to the correct time clock, capturing any kind of news related to the upcoming show, brand or designer etc). This season I viewed the Gucci show and my oh my (as in nearly 130 looks) was it a lot. I’m not going to dwell on Gucci (because I have another post/s coming up) any further so lets get back to the tone of the female, politics and we are thinking Prada exactly. I loved how clothes demonstrated a sense of social achievement despite what some political leaders describe the female to be and how her mind. Thoughts and actions are underplayed / celebrated. Prada oozed this femininity within a modern societal and seducing context in a mixture of 60’s and 70’s signature cuts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto the final destination for most within industry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Paris. </div>
What does one look out for during PFW? Could it be the epic design layout of Chanel? The Western faces of Parisian brands that make a debut of some major change (What do you really think of Kristen Stewart’s new hair cut?), or what brand is dominating in street style, accessories vs RTW key pieces (Gucci yet again !) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For me, I am just clued to how Gucci is running in these street style streets ! Like the last time we saw something like this, Raf Simons was in Dior and it made some kind of sense to buy his glasses for £325.00 and then figure out how to pay your rent. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What grabbed your attention this AW17 ? I’ve noticed that I haven’t actually talked about the clothing but merely the ambience, I hope that’s alright with you because I mainly care about the movement of the key players tone / approach towards the season, because like Miranda Presley stated:</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ahh, so you’ve come across yet another new year new me post, well that is what you think. I hope it really is not though, I plan to have a different viewpoint about looking at 2017.</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt;">You see, last year; I did what every other blogger tends to do, summarise how their previous year was and make it a point to really highlight those OOTD posts that could do with some looking at / getting a higher amount of views but not so ‘this page needs more attention’ presentation. Also, making a habit of creating a new year mantra that is somewhat positive but typically filled with blogger-like motivational quotes – you know what I mean right ?</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> This year , I’m going to do more OOTD , more reviews</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lewl. Sorry, I’m not declaring this ^_^</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2016 was a tremendous year full of lessons (better than saying the typical ups and downs right ?) and some celebrations . These lessons taught me a lot about my views on ‘planning ahead’ and completely opened another eye to the ideology of the term, ‘the future’. We are part of a generation that loves to say:</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

</span></div>
</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There's no point in saying the phrase ‘a New Year new me’ if that means the outward appearance is to change without checking within first, because your temple is the most important to invest in. Lets affirm the true meaning of having the new mind and a new way of thinking with a new way of feeling to have a positive stance of renewal.</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2016, you may have realised that you allowed Friends to take an advantage with you due to kindness. This frustration that you enjoyed could have led to a disagreement and argument or worse off (this normally happens) you simply just cutting of that friend because "I don't have the time to be dealing with negativity".</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But honestly, in the words of Emily (my old tutor at LCF within PR)…</span></div>
<div align="center" class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- ‘What does that even mean?’</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Side note: The way she would say those 3 or 4 words after you explain passionately your proposal immediately made you re-think how hard you challenge your present mind for future wisdom. Now a graduate working within the field, I tend to use this across platforms be it reading literature, listening to sermons, reading my bible and very much so listening to people with their determination ‘a new year, a new me’</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to the conversation.</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why wait til the clock strikes new year? I remember talking with a girlfriend who had really been in some hurricane-drama filled year full of disloyalty and heartbreak and warned her to be careful about what you take from your lessons. It is important for us to take the right information from our tests to have testimonies. Some storms can be so harsh but all have options of how you come out, either a survivor or a conqueror. In basic, your experience can either make you or mould you (ahhh, you thought I was going to say break you right? Lool)</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I completely get it and understand where one with think that this is appropriate. The whole idea of "keeping it moving ". But as a believer, this is not how we should be living life. Some of you may feel like friends took advantage of you in 2016, you're not gonna allow it in 2017, "New Year new me"- most people allow situations like this to turn them bitter. Life should not result your behaviour into bitterness based on bad experiences. These negative experiences/failures should open opportunities for evaluation. Sometimes a renewal also means a challenge in your behaviour. Maybe it's time that you challenge your kindness and learn to say no. Be bold when you say no so your kindness cannot be treated as a weakness.</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My new year consists of a little more transitioning and open-mindedness. Exploration within the means of peace (cues Mary J Blige- no more drama)</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 15.5467px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">

<span style="text-align: justify;">It’s the beginning of October (how fast did September go guys) and I survived Paris fashion week *<i>hair flip</i>*. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I am so happy to grace the beauty of the month, October with great expectation and celebration. The thought of working for PFW was so hectic when I was handed my schedule and daily requirements , it was my first time and it was truly an experience of a lifetime. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">Due to the nature of my position; I stayed in London but I had to cover my brand’s activities during
show season . This did mean that I had some long hour working day shifts which were truly a struggle but it was all worth it
(praise from my manager during show season and all of the stress was a surprise
to me)! The idea of waking up at 3am and finishing work around 4pm scared me in the back of my mind but now that it has come and gone by, I want to do it al over again :).</span><br />

Funny story about these babies – every since they came out I
always wanted them but of course EU38 are like needles in a haystack. It so
happened that after my first month working at SLP; I just happened to roll into
the Bond Street store and they had only 1 pair left ! Then it came to the
decision to buy or not to buy. I am a big spender when it comes to friends
birthday presents and I wanted to take a girlfriend to Switzerland to see
Beyonce but she was acting a little funy so I then said ‘YOLO’ and surprisingly
my boo kitty Jonathan took me to see Beyonce this pass summer !<o:p></o:p></div>

Summer 2016 was LIT (translation so much fun).<br />
<br />
This summer felt really magical to me, not only do I feel like I slayed but I did everything and anything that simply added to my happiness and this is something I usually don't ever prioritise. I <a href="http://livvyy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/the-one-piece.html" target="_blank">went</a> on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BJBGmI5AgJT/?taken-by=oliviazara">holiday</a>, I got in formation with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BHcOxsBAdVx/?taken-by=oliviazara" target="_blank">Queen Bey</a>, had some amazing nights out with friends, started focusing on myself, ended it with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BJvCZvugnww/?taken-by=oliviazara" target="_blank">NHC16</a> and truly just spent time in my world enjoying me (or as <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_889263855"></span>Dior<span id="goog_889263856"></span></a> would say; '<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuPEfMzCIb0" target="_blank"><i>do</i> [ing] <i>you</i> {me}</a>' . Do you ever get so caught up in the world or with life and forget about yourself ? I honestly thought that it would be hard getting into the focus on myself but the transition was beautiful.</div>

I am so grateful to walk in September, I enter with pure excitement and expectation! I have been saying to a few people that something about this month feels very magical; to me - like the new snapchat filter (minus the crown thing). I don't know if it is, because September has a great association with new beginnings or it could be that I am getting ready for fashion week, the fact that as I look back to the beginning of the year, I would have never imagined to be stepping into September 2016 with all of the blessings I have received thus far ! Then again my favourite number is also 9 too.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have just come back from a mother-daughter
bonding vacation in Ibiza (FYI - I did not make the decision to go before you
all gasp in confusion lol- she’s always wanted to go so we went for her
birthday ^_^). Though the trip was truly about bonding, sightseeing and catching
a tan, I did not know how to go about buying something swim / beach related for the
poolside / beach. I have not worn a bikini since around 17, and I have not
bought anything swim related since around 16. I’ve grown a couple of cup sizes
within the past 5 years and my my my; the struggle to find something for my
quick vacation was terribly real. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>Not to
mention, by May, I concluded that my ‘summer body 2016’ challenge was a trial
and you’ll see the real deal next year ;).<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back to swimwear! Finding a bra for myself is never
easy; (lets just say – my cup runneth over) I am a 34 back size with a slim
waist and wide hips; aka there maybe 1-3 pieces to choose from the over 250
style on an online store and ‘plus size’ is just to big and then unflattering. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The one piece! I completely forgot about
one-pieces / swimsuits. Like the last time I wore a speedo was when I did my
lessons when I was about six.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was discussing with a friend how much I love the fact that the <a href="http://www.adoreme.com/swim.html">swimsuit</a> is coming back in a beautiful way;
making people who are not totally comfortable within there skin look so dreamy
on the beach as well as strikingly stunning and confident by the pool. It’s not
everyday buy a bikini for holiday; sometimes switch it up and get yourself a
flattering swimsuit. In addition to the swimsuit, I’ve also had my eye out on cover-ups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I plainly thank Almighty God for inspirations like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BHNbc8XB_WS/" target="_blank">Shayla</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BHQHV2hBN6U/" target="_blank">MakeUpShayla</a>) and
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BIbHwAvjbx7/" target="_blank">Amra</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BGHwFxYvB91/" target="_blank">Amrezy</a>) for sharing their beachwear ‘executions'. If you are still
twiddling your thumbs, they have some ‘fits for you to learn from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So what did you end up going for?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok, so I tried, like I really tried this one-piece
suit from ASOS (picture below) . Fell in love with it because it was thigh-high yet completed in fishnet material so I felt comfortable though my skin is ‘on show’, it was also a halter
neck! Something I have not ever considered wearing by the pool but like I said
… I tried <span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>!
I did also manage to find a lovely bikini top from <a href="http://www.panache-lingerie.com/GB/products/details/panache-swim/marina/padded-bandeau-bikini/a" target="_blank">Panache</a> Swimwear and paired

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For cover-ups, I just had one, but this was
just no normal cover up. I had my eye on this beauty ever since I started
working in the Body Studio at Selfridges early this year. If money is not an
option, or you are able to treat yourself once in a while, investing in Missoni
swimwear is a (DJ Khaled voice) Major Key. Every season, the cuts and style
just increase in such beauty, which I believe, aid in confidence of the wearer.
I watched and watched until it went down in sale and now you see it on me in
Ibiza ^_^.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just a few but classic pieces I picked up
for many future holidays; like Hip Hop; the one piece suit is not dead and is
perfect for all spectacular shapes; even though I don’t feel great in my body,
I look pretty good!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Although
time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is
a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each waking day, you
will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change.</span></i><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> (Unknown, 2015) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It’s coming to an end of the first part of
graduation season and I am so happy to be celebrating such successes (shout out
to Yashi and Naomi)! I can’t help but spend a little time reflecting back on
<a href="http://livvyy.blogspot.it/2016/03/life-after-graduation.html" target="_blank">last year</a>, in that heavy gown walking across the stage and hearing my niece
shout out ‘That’s my aunty’ but still praying that I would not drop in my
Louboutin ‘So Kates’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "palatino linotype"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">During my ‘A year later’ chapter, I feel like
I have grown so much in many ways. I have cried about being rejected, but have
also learnt about not letting the word ‘no’ get to you. After many trials and
tribulations I have landed my <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/public-profile/settings?trk=prof-edit-edit-public_profile" target="_blank">dream job</a>, I've also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rozegoldevents/" target="_blank">launched</a> a new project! I have also discovered the beauty
living life in the moment and investing in myself. This is something that I
have never been comfortable with but I have found it is key in preserving ones
mental and physical health. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

graduates! Don’t be stressed about the unknown future or become disheartened
when your plan does not work out accordingly; should you need any advice or
help; drop me an email I have a fair amount of experience to share.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
