Yesterday consisted of popping into my agency, meeting my friend Dale for a large lunch at Almost Famous and then finally going to watch The Great Gatsby at the movies.
I wore: T-Shirt – H&M, Pants/Trousers – H&M, Gold chain – eBay, Flower earrings – made by Me.
I thought I’d catch up with my sporadic blogging with an update post of what I’ve been upto…
Last week I arrived home after a busy 10 days away, shooting in Spain for Fruit Of The Loom. There were a crew of 13 of us in total, including four models, all of whom were lovely to work with. We stayed in Sotogrande for the first part of the shoot and then in Marbella for the second, each day shooting in a different location. Although it was early starts and long days, it was so nice to be shooting in warm weather in so many beautiful locations. It was fun working with such a great team and we had so many laughs together.

As promised here is a review post on a couple of Macadamia products I bought whilst modelling at this year’s Pro Hair Live.
It was a couple of months ago now but when I was at Pro Hair Live, during some free time on a break, I went along with another model who was heading over to the Macadamia oil stand to purchase some products. Recommended by the model and (obviously) by the people working on the stand, I ended up buying these two products:
Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment (in the 125 ml/4.2 oz) and Macadamia Flawless (in the 250ml/8oz)
So as of late I’ve been rubbish at blogging but March has been a busy month and I’ve had lots of fun. My highlights have been catching up with far away friends, heading down to London, doing some much needed test shoots and having lots of great nights out. Unfortunately all this has meant I’ve been left with little free time for my bag making/product shots and so progress on the online store opening has been rather nonexistent. However now I’ve got a very busy few weeks out of the way, I’m hoping over the rest of April I’ll have some free time to focus on my bags and get the website open.
I had a long over due night out with Laura and Abi. I see Laura a lot but hadn’t seen Abi in ages, so it was nice to catch up, eat pizza and have a girlie night out together.

Today I’ve been feeling a bit lethargic, I think this past week has finally caught up on me and my lack of sleep has taken its toll. I haven’t blogged much as of late, partly because I haven’t had much chance and partly due to laziness when I have had the spare time. I have been taking pictures throughout my week and the week before, all with the good intention of blogging but I just haven’t gotten round to it until now.
So on Monday and Tuesday I was shooting. Monday’s shoot was in a cosy studio, sheltered from the blizzard like weather outside but Tuesday’s shoot was outdoors and it was freezing!
The shoot was for an up and coming designer who makes leather bum bags, ATQM. As the theme was summer/festivals the clothing was mainly short shorts and crop tops, so we had to brave the cold whilst trying to look warm. I was working with a couple of other girls from my agency and also my friend, Laura was on the shoot too.

I forgot to mention I was asked to do my second hair feature the other week, this time for Natural Belle.
This weekend I was in Barcelona again visiting my friend, Lydia. It’s only a month since my last trip and this time my friend Chan came over with me so that we could celebrate her Birthday weekend.
I often get messages off people asking about my hair care regime and what products I use so it was great when Black Girl with Long Hair asked me to do a feature on their site. Their website is a great way for people of the natural hair community to share and discuss their personal hair tips and ideas.

My mother had booked a day off work today so we took the opportunity to have a Mother daughter day together. Usually our Mother Daughter days consist of shopping and lunch but this time we decided to do something different and go to a museum together instead.
This was my outfit for today – nothing too exciting as I had a casting midday and its always good to go as a blank canvas (yes I removed the lipstick). Anyway, I wore a black tank top vest, black body-con mini skirt, black tights, the pearls & lipstick clutch bag I made for myself, my black River Island biker jacket and underneath that I worse a lace shall.
