No Internet, No Phone, No contact...No Life?



So my 5 weeks out in the Philippines has come to an end and I am now back in my home in England. As you may have noticed, I haven't blogged due to a lack of internet connection and phone for the whole 5 weeks. I have experienced all sides to the Philippines this year from seeing the poor and impoverish to the insides of some beautiful hotels and seaside escapes. Thank the lovely British weather for a temperature which is withstand-able; after the sticky and humid temperature of the Philippines, I am glad to be feeling clean and fresh. I also thank England for having no cockroaches, very few rodents and for having hot running water with the best showers.

Every time I return from the Philippines, I come back with a fresh perspective on life. Everything I take for advantage is now a luxury which I see that many, many people around the world have to live without everyday. I am so lucky to have been born in a wealthy, western society where I do not have to experience the problems and issues which come with living in a third world country. However, despite these issues, there are so many positives to life in the Philippines. There are countless amounts of people who live without the pressures of the extremely competitive work industry which dominates our society. Instead, Philippino people live as each day comes with the sun shining everyday, getting up late, having midday naps and not worrying about making 'to-do lists' with pointless, never-ending tasks.

Having no internet access for weeks has allowed me to disconnect from the outside world. I have no idea about what has been happening outside of my own little bubble, and as terrible as that sounds that now I have to play catch up on the news and life, I felt the relief and satisfaction of being completely trouble free...besides a few insects and rodents every now and then. But it does bring to mind how dependent we are on technology and being connected with the world. We are all globalized with the internet and I question how much technology I should bring into my own life. Is it unhealthy to have too much? I feel more down-to-earth without it all, but now the pressures of my university course and careers will mean allowing it all back into my life. Will Facebook, Instagram, countless emails and the constant use of the internet turn me completely insane and dependent on it? Oh, just bring back the relaxed and easy life in the Philippines.

New Chapter

I am currently lying in my hotel room in the Philippines as H20 hotel. It's beautiful here and I am looking forward to sleeping after my long flight. Can't wait for my adventures to finally begin, hopefully I will be blogging all the way giving you a glimpse into the life here.
Happy Travelling.

(P.S. all my videos are better watched in full screen).

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry I haven't been able to keep this blog going for a while but was swamped with exams and coursework towards the end of my second year studying fashion management. So if I want to keep up my plan to conquer the world then this blog needs to be constantly updated so here I start and here's a video to show you just a snippet of what I've been up to. Much love to you all. (p.s. some phones haven't been able to view this video...hope you can watch it when you're at home on a laptop).

Behind the scenes at Trend Magazine

Have been interning with Trend Magazine Aberdeen for a little while now. Had been feeling out of the Fashion loop and needed to get stuck back in and Trend was the way to go.

It's about Fashion and Modern Living within Aberdeen, generally the way I wish I could live if I wasn't a student and had more money to spend lavishly.

I had previously done the Style File and trend page which was a lot of fun; seeing my own name in a published magazine really felt like an accomplishment being only a student.

And today was my first photoshoot with Trend; so calm, casual and chatty in comparison to previous shoots I had been on. No stress and worry; how utterly fabulous.

And the clothes; just holding brand new designer clothes makes me weak at the knees. I just imagine they are mine for a few hours; feels a shame to let them go.

Couldn't show any outfits or model shots as I can't risk showing any shoots before the next bi-monthly issue has even been released. But here's the team photo, photographer Louise Carnegie bottom left and the latest Trend magazine. Run out to shops and pick one up; it's definitely worth a read.

10 Jumpsuits to fall in love with

Jumpsuits are a great way to stand out, look amazing and still be warm during this winter season. They are so easy to wear and need little accessorizing. I have collated 10 jumpsuits within this blog post; 5 for everyday wear (above: which could be evening if accessorized) and 5 for evening wear (below: they are too much to transform to day wear).

I can't believe I still haven't got one yet but tried some on in River Island and loved that they hid certain parts of my body which I deem as unattractive (flabby hehe). They really are flattering. So excited to add these to my boxing day shopping.

You could try mixing jumpsuits with a leather jacket and Chelsea boots to make a casual day look. Or combine a clutch bag, stilettos and jewelry to make evening looks. Either way, you'll look stunning.
