Where Have I Been!?

It's been a while hasn't it? How have you all been? Oh! and have a look around, does it look different? First of all have have taken time to change the way my blog looks, I wanted it to be more professional and I really love it! What do you guys think? I also have a portfolio page above you can click on and see the bloggers I have worked with! And if our in need of a OOTD photographer then drop me an email!

First reason why I haven't blogged in a while is because I went on holiday with all of my friends. This was to the lake district and was the most fun I've had with those guys and the best thing I've done since turning 18. We rented out a massive cottage and did tonnes of activities like paint-balling and go ape! I have made a video of this which is going to be about an hour long and I may upload it on YouTube so when I have I'll put a link below so you can watch it! 

Dior and I - Film Review

I've always wondered what is like inside a couture fashion house or what it would be like to work in one, there's so many questions I have unanswered like; is it really all handmade? How many people does it take to complete one dress? And how long does it take? The film 'Dior and I' gives you that insight to Christian Dior’s fashion house and how a collection is put together in such short time, with such a demand. You follow the designer Raf Simons who takes over as the creative director at Dior. His work is very minimalist so going into couture let's his audience see that he doesn’t just work in this way! Dior came into his element in the 50s with a post war New Look which changed the way women dressed. The garments became very feminine and reflected the stereotypical shape of a woman with a small waist and hour glass figure. Dior creates his brand to dress women and make them feel sophisticated, dainty, elegant and more confident.

The brand has a very distinctive look which is so well known and since Christian Dior passed just 10 years after creating the house, other designers have taken the role as art director but still have kept the iconic design of the original garments but modernized them to the time they were working there. Simons states that though he is the head of designs he still feels like he is working for Christian Dior and the 'Name' of the brand rests on him. You see him look back though previous designs and the first originals to gain inspiration of the shape and the cuts of the garments, he adapts them to make them modern with his own twist but still very much Dior. 

My Current Playlist

This post is a bit different to what I normally do but I love reading these posts because I love to be nosey I find out what different music people listen too! My music tastes varies a lot and I mean a lot a lot ahah! My music taste can be anywhere from One Direction all the way too Suicide Silence Aka 'Scary music' to some people! I thought I'd do this post to let you guys know a bit more of what type of music I'm into plus what I'm loving at the moment and maybe introduce you to new artists and songs!

The first on my playlist is always All Time Low, and if you don't know me, they are my favourite band so any new music they come out with I'm instantly in love! My favourite song by them at the moment is Kids in the Dark from there new album Future Hearts. The album was debuted number 1 in the UK, and sold over 75,000 copies in the first week so if you haven't listened too it you know that its gonna be good! They still have their pop punk feel but took some of the songs in a new direction. My most played are ; Kids in the Dark, Somethings Gotta Give, Dancing With a Wolf and Kicking and Screaming!

Mac Turquatic Review

I'm not  a huge perfume collector but when I find one and I love the smell of it, I know I have to have it! Earlier this year I made a Mac wishlist (which you can check out here - Mac Wishlist) and for my birthday my Auntie and Uncle got it for me, so that's one of the things off my wishlist! This is Mac's latest fragrance which you can buy in a 20/50ml bottle, roller-ball, hand and body wash and a body wash. Each being a little pricey but its Mac after all! But can we all just take a moment to take in how beautiful the packaging of this perfume is!
