Black chic bloggers: LFW

Within weeks one of the most talked about, blogged about and everyone wants to be there fashion events will be taking place for the first time this year and yes of course I'm talking about London Fashion Week. This amazing event happens twice a year for a week long (as I'm sure you could've totally guessed by the name) each time showcasing some of the most amazing designers in London. From high end to high street, London fashion week is sure to let you know all about the hottest trends for the commencing year. But it's not only the designers for this years LFW it's the everyday people too that get to show of their own unique looks, as on each day the streets will be filled with some of the most fashionable people you could feast your eyes on. This world wide known events brings in people from across the world to celebrate our one of a kind world of fashion! Now this is an exciting time for us all even if you're not attending one of the shows, there is nothing wrong with getting into the spirit of things and letting your creative fashionista side come out. Did I really just use the word 'fashionista'? I believe I'm getting old. 

Anyways as I said I won't be attending any of the shows sadly however I have been invited down to the next best thing...The Bloggers fashion week bar event which I am very very excited about. This will still give me an opportunity to experience LFW just in a smaller but still exciting way. This event is hosted by the amazing bloggers hangout which is an online bloggers community and from the last few events I've been too, I feel like this is one not to be missed.

SheaMoisture launch party

I have gone back and forth wondering if I should even bother writing up this post as it has been a while. I fell of the blogging planet back into my own little world for a while and have had serious writing block, I don't think I'm yet to recover from it yet but nevertheless I wanted to get this post up before 2016 at least. 

About three weeks ago now I was invited down by a lady over at Sparkle PR to attend the UK boots launch of SheaMoisture. As a fellow curly head I jumped at the opportunity and also because I have been a long term fan and user of SheaMoisture. It leaves your curls popping and definitely well looked after.

Michelle Thomas: Fashion website launch

Working in hospitality isn't always the most exciting part of life I must admit. However when I found out that there would be (in my boyfriends words) "Some fashion show thing" at my restaurant of course I had to be there to hace a nose as we all know my interest in the fashion styling world. The event was organised by an amazing lady called Michelle Thomas Hamm, after chatting to her briefly after the event I found out she was a stylist and also used to be a designer. The purpose of the event was to promote her new website launch and overall it was such a lovely night. Michelle runs a mobile boutique which is something I've never heard before so I love the concept of it all, and all I can say is the clothes and jewelry were to die for. If I had the money, there would of been no clothes for her to take back. They were all unique pieces as you'll see below. I also found out that Michelle does these events quite regularly so keep your eyes peeled for the next one. 

Tommy OOTD

Tommy gear jumper - Vintage aka my dads / Grey skinny jeans - H&M / Shoes - Nike air force 1's

Today was a pretty chill day and there's nothing more I love then just throwing on a jumper, jeans and trainers. Totally comfortable, but still a bit stylish. This jumper is the most comfortable thing I have ever owned and worn, it belonged to my dad but sneaky me had to snap it up. I'm totally in love. 

London Fashion Week: House of iKons

Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to attend a catwalk show during the world wide known event, London fashion week. Me and my boyfriend Matt was invited down by my best friend, this would be my first ever LFW event I've attended and it truly was an unmissable night. So let me just give you a bit of background on House of iKons and why I believe not only it's a great way for people interested in fashion can experience a great night but why it's just a good cause overall. House of iKons was founded by Savita Kaye and is closely linked and works with the Princes Trust, which is a charity that helps young people/adults who are homeless, unemployed or in just general needs get back into the working world and education. Working with Princes trust enables young designers worldwide, to showcase their creative talents. The first show was in London last year and it went of the charts and will be held in LA. Not only that but it the shows air worldwide to 100 million viewers, in 120 countries. The whole point is to celebrate the new generation of global fashion talent, showcasing the best talent, with the emphasis on new and innovative fashion. As you can image it's a truly amazing cause and I'm amazed that I got to experience it.

Lush interview part two: Trial Shift

So here is part two of my two part posts about the Lush interview procedures. I've just got back from my trial shift which was so much fun I must say, short but sweet. It lasted about an hour and it was really simple, a lot more easier and laid back for me than the group interview. So I came in and was met with the trainee manager who brought me into the back and explained what was going to happen for the next hour. Really basic things, just making sure I'm approaching customers and trying to do as many demonstrations I can, she gave me apron to wear and brought me out on to the shop floor. Before I really started the manager and then another staff member demonstrated a few products on me so I knew what to do with the customers. Can I just say how amazing is the body shower scrub 'Rub Rub Rub'?! I tried it for the first time and my hands have never felt so smooth and soft since I came out my mums womb. TMI sorry. You can purchase it here anyways, if not go into your local store and have a try, it's totally worth it. The sea salts really exfoliate the skin and the jasmine flower infusion and organic lemon juice leave a really good smell behind.

Lush interview part one: Group interviews

I've decided to write up yet another job interview experience/process post as my last one, which was for Topshop was very successful and too this day one of my most popular posts. I also really love these because if you're anything like me then one day before your interview (or on the day itself) you'd be frantically searching blog posts and youtube videos on what to expect when going to an interview. And of course in tradition that was exactly what I was doing the night before my group interview at Lush. I applied for the Christmas temp as a sales advisor, so I wanted to be interview ready and take in as much information and advice my brain would allow.
