Summer Round Up

Hey Guys!!

Firstly I just wanted to update my blog seeing at it has been like forever since I last put up a post. I guess things have been pretty hectic and crazy over the summer, with working two internships and a lot of travelling between London and Bournemouth.

However, I did manage to make time for fashion (and yes I guess that does mean some shopping was done) as this summer I went to Pakistan Fashion Week (which i already wrote about) and Africa Fashion Week. This was a crazy experience and it allowed me to see the fashion in different cultures.

Outfit Of The Day
Blazer: Primark
Top: H&M
Printed Trousers: H&M
Wedges: New Look

I also, had the opportunity to go to the Miss Supernational Beauty Pageant, as a press photographer, Which showed me the importance of good timing (in terms of taking photographs... seriously, one second can be the different between an amazing photo and a pretty bad on), in a fast-paced environment.

And Finally (although it happened early in the Holiday), I got to experience life on the other side of the Camera when my Boyfriend and I went for a couples Photoshoot at Broadway Studio's, in Wimbledon. It was nice to be pampered and I was very pleased with the outcome of the photoshoot. Here's a little preview for you.

I hope to do a lot more blogging on there in the next weeks/months. (Fingers crossed I stick to it this time).

Have a nice day

Made in Mexico

The Rebozo, is the traditional Mexican shawl, that was famously worn by Mexican artist, Frida Khalo. It has now also become the centre of a new exhibition at the Fashion and Textiles Museum entitled MADE IN MEXICO The Rebozo in art, culture and fashion. The exhibition explores how fashion and textiles has shaped and promoted Mexican Culture from the 17th Century to the present day, on a world wide basis. The exhibition will be in London from early June, until the end of October and will show the works of Brazilian and UK artists, Photographers, fashion and textiles designers and will also showcase recent works that have been inspired by the classic shawl. 

This is definitely something I hope to see during the summer this year.
