Enjoying your week so far?

I received my FIRST invite from MOTEL ROCKS! I was over the moon as they are my favourite site! 

Just couldn’t wait to have another excuse to glam up and meet other bloggers in London! The amazing event was held at INK, right in the middle of Leicester square formally known as “Professor Green’s club”!

Atmosphere in the club fitted well with Motel’s pieces and their dress are insanely beautiful – I wanted them all! I cannot wait to purchase some of these beauties!

Curly wirly hair! My TWO favourite rings! Skull and square based prism ring! 

INK Professor Green's club! LED Motel Rocks LED lights -so pretty!

Loved the individual graffiti on the walls and the urban attitude definitely mixed well! Music was top notch; the DJ knew how to rock out the tunes! For everyone that knows me well- Cocktails are my favourite indeed!

We all took a motel rocks glow stick home! Goodie bag and motel treated our sweet tooth!

Met Henrietta again! I also met some new bloggers, we had so much fun! LOVE the graffiti artist! Talent right there!

Woop woop!

ONE of my favourite pieces that I will purchase. Their glittered jacket! What a statement!

Behind me were the printed, glitter, fitted dresses! Printed jackets are the new thing as well the glitter pieces for for the Christmas festive feel!

In addition, you all know I LOVE to get my nails done and Illustrated Nails made mine look beautiful! -So thank you!

SUPERDRY PRESS RELEASE EVENT!

HI DOLLS! -GUESS WHAT?!

My two favourite outdoor jackets!

MY FAVOURITE JACKETS! What do you think? :)

PERFECT pastel coloured jumpers! I love the autumn looks! :)

I am a HUGE fan of the tie dye tops! This beauty caught my eye! I love the contrast!

Sunglasses are hot! These jackets are gorgeous right?

I had no idea Superdry had their own makeup section! I am in love with the compact bag!

The nail artist was so sweet, she did the tie dye nail design which looks so cute! 

:)

I had met the lovely Henrietta at the Yoga event and glad we met again as we had so much fun!

Many well known journalists, writers, press and bloggers in the UK came along to the event to check out 

their showroom. Super dry’s SS14 collection was HUGE! I enjoyed trying on their new season pieces.

Womenswear section involved a lot of classic looks, refreshed their look with neon creative pieces. It was the ultimate wardrobe for city chic as their jacket/coat selection was my favourite! 

The menswear gets a refresh for SS14 emphasizing tailoring, premium materials and the whole “statement” London look! They’ve included the  rucksacks and the  new season classic flip-flops.

The hospitality was amazing as we were treated to Superdry cupcakes, tea and canape food! The best treat was the complimentary manicures featuring the Superdry new nail collection. The interactive social media mirror was a huge attraction as you were able to take photos in real-time! Company magazine, Fashion Beans, Teen Now and Go City girl were there too taking pictures! Few bloggers and I enjoyed taking a few snaps to show off our Superdry blogger outfits!

Take care,  XTINE x

YOGA FOR YOU

 

 HI DOLLS

Simply health invited me to the yoga workshop at the Dance works in central London and I took the opportunity straight away!

WHO are they?

https://www.simplyhealth.co.uk/sh/pages/homepage.jsp 

I've always been interested in yoga from a very young age as it helps you relax and pretty simple- even for a beginner!

YouTube and Google were the main sources to help me start my own yoga session in my bedroom! NOTHING beats an invitation from Simply health to a yoga workshop with other bloggers!

Yoga is great for reliving pain especially back pain, which was the main reason for conducting this yoga session. As I'm always on shoots, on late promo shifts including uni on top of blogging my back hurts a lot and it is imperative to have a  good posture. I was happy to hear that simply healthy recently launched their new app to raise awareness of back pain! It's dead SIMPLE TO USE. 

Also what is truly great is the fact it is very specific to your needs, includes exercise plans which is useful and  informative. 

SIMPLY HEALTH says:

“Our free back care app has over 20 exercises to help people to cope with their back pain. There’s also much more information about how to prevent back pain, at home, work or when out and about. 

“Users will also be able to use the app to keep a diary of their back pain, watch videos, form an exercise plan which they can follow and find qualified practitioners in their area.”

84 % of 18-24 year old have admitted to suffering some degree of back pain in the last year according to the latest research."

From the Survey of 3,000 adults from Simply health shows a nation on the point of potential back pain. Experts have continued to discuss the "iPosture generation"; which basically means developing all the bad habits that could lead to back pain. Majority of age groups spend a lot of the time in front of their laptops, PC or tablets. A shocking combination of work and home screen time (excluding traditional TV) means that over 55s spent an average of 6.64 hours a day (the least) versus a massive 8.83 hours a day in front of screen time for a typical 18-24 year old. 

To support individuals with back pain and those wanting to prevent it Simply Health and BackCare have developed an App which is FREE. The app basically allows users to input data on the type and location of their back pain. This is then tailored advice as well as specialty advice and support available on the app!  You can also check out all their exercises. Plenty of information available for you to do wherever you are, whether you are at home or in the workplace to look after your back.

Goodies and me in my yoga outfit!

Another cheeky pic!

AFTER LFW- VIP Blogger event!

After the amaze balls of a time at the LFW (London Fashion Week) Kilian Kerner show, I was invited along to the #NLFASHWEEK blogger event! -which was right next door to the KK show! (Convenient)

After the KK show as part of my internship, I was lucky enough to be treated to this treatment after a hectic day! The pamper session at the Waldorf Hotel - Hanging out with other bloggers, getting a cute manicure, hand massage, makeup done and drinking endless amounts of smoothies! OH and totally had a laugh in the PHOTOBOOTH! The whole event was very exciting! Endless amounts of complimentary food and drink, alongside the new look fashion range to admire (wish I could take them all home) and enjoyed the whole evening with other fashion and beauty bloggers! Left here feeling beautified and with a smile on my face!

I wish I had their makeup sets!

:L

Self proclaimed selfie.. couldn't resist this photobooth! 1,2,3 secs only to pose! Haha and guy outside made us laugh through out!

This beautiful lady did my eyelashes for me and can I say the results were amazing!

https://twitter.com/iBrowsEtc

As you can see for yourself, I have practically NO eyelashes.. My brother on the other hand has the longest and prettiest eyelashes ever- SO JEL.. But not to despair IBrows are defiantly in my life now! 

What do YOU think? Ever had yours done before..? IF NOT, I would strongly advise you to pop into Ibrows and get them done! I had mine done at this event and will certainly pencil a date to come into the store to re do them! They lasted me 2 weeks.. and I still have a few eyelashes on the ends left!  

Results!

 CRUSSH smoothies were refreshing and LUSH.. (lush crush) (!) The cactus is also used in the smoothies as well as aloe vera meaning endless supplies of goodness- healthy option! Natasha and I also tried all the other flavours, the manager topped us up throughout!

Chillin' as you do.. Low down on the LFW shows.. and oh and bit of gossip with the girls! :P

So yeah.. basically "sometimes your dress starts the party"... ( I honestly wanted to take this home, purely because of the slogan across the cushion, aha)

STATEMENT jewellery.. don't you just LOVE them?!

New Look Fashion.. In love.. with everything.. OH lalaaa The outfit I wore this day was from New Look..what a coincidence.. ;)

Bye bye LFW.. I truly had a blast! 

INTERN TWO LFW

HI DOLLS,

How are you?

As you are all aware, I had just finished another internship –my first fashion internship with Sponsor me awards internship and mentioned I had a second one approaching! We this is it guys! Well,both are over now, time flies hey!

I was a PR intern for a London style company in central London. They work with celebrities, VIP events, well known brands and LFW (London Fashion Week) I LITERALLY 5 days off after my first internship I was on to the next one! Ridiculously crazy but amazing right? 

What kind of specific duties would this internship entail?

Well, if you are looking to go down the PR route, definitely take up a PR intern in the city! You’ll network around and it will definitely provide you more than you expected! Main duties were to organise and write up all the invitations to guests, VIP etc for the Kilian Kerner show.. We, (me and 3 other interns) had to travel all over central to drop the gold invites off personally.. It was fun visiting different publications, companies, famous names and had a visit to Models1!

 It was indeed stressful at times- for me anyways as my iphone was,  -and is- always misbehaving and died on me a couple of times. VERY convenient (!) So it was not pleasant holding dead phone while being lost in the rain! After a hectic week of organizing, checking the guest list, sending out emails and invites I was able to work in the office!

Gold invites ;)

As per usual for any intern, I was placed in the position to help out with all the admin work alone. It was hectic:  receiving emails constantly, picking up calls, sorting out all ins and outs of the stock in the company. I managed to overcome the tasks given and it went smoothly towards the end. The girls and I got along well and had our banter (as you do), discussing all the shoes, clothes, fashion and all that malarkey! Even boys and the gossip in the industry!

I also helped out a famous presenter pick out outfits from our collection in the showroom for her upcoming events in London! It was fun! The check in and out process was long but I loved working along designers that I love! Their clothes, shoes bags, accessories  for clients was another long but fun task! I LOVE clothes, especially the labels in our showroom, so it was fun playing dress up with the girls after the tasks were completed! A lot happened at the same time but those are a few! It was a very “hands on” job, and although it was stressful as our PR Company were chosen to organise the LFW for KK. Overall, I was able to network and gain useful contacts and we managed to pull through and have a successful London Fashion Week show, so that was another huge accomplishment to be part of it!

It  was purely aimed to work at the London Fashion Week show.

THANK YOU for the gift. 

At the Waldof Hilton.

The designer Kilan Kerner. It was a privileged to work alongside a humble, yet very talented designer: Kilian Kerner.

His website:

About him..www.kiliankerner.de

Created beautiful eye-catching pieces that will go down in history! I believe he will become a HUGE success in the UK and will be asked to come back for another LFW show!

I particularly love these pieces..

So classy, elegant.. just beautiful! 

The models looked beautiful in them and it just showed off that an idea can turn into an art piece -magnificent!

Well.. what an incredible end to my summer holidays! Very productive! Blessed.
