FASH FOOD. FASH FOREWORD

I did it again didn't I? :)  I stopped writing because the busy wave hit me again. Whoever said the Arts schools aren't stressful and hectic can take back their words right now. A slight push on the fast forward button and we are at our second project, entering into March. The best part about this project is we get to curate an entire new issue of Vogue, GQ or Teen Vogue, debating between the choice of supplement or the main magazine. I am in the Vogue box to tick. 

Here are some photos of our still life shoot for our fashion feature. To be honest, I am always child's play in this area but being exposed to it was amazing x I have always loved being in a studio working the lights and the camera. I need a "behind-the-scenes' lanyard to legitimate that sentence. 

A few days ago, I begin to realise my liking for layout and imagery are getting stronger nowadays, wonder if that instinct will bring me to a new direction especially after receiving my grades for our first project. I got a distinction. *pops confetti* Too elated to speak. The best part of it all was doing the brand proud and also the B Master Of Couture. I also developed a fond liking towards graphic designing. Being in this course also taught me to use Photoshop progressively. Something that I have always wanted to learn so badly but never really got the chance to. I now know how to use the stamp tool, lasso and the polygonal cropping tool as well as masking. Hopefully, there will be more to learn in the remaining weeks here in London. I am learning every single day. 

It's been a whirlwind of events ever since I left off from February. Industry speakers were here all the time to speak to us and I always take back something in return from all their wise and noble words. Though I know that this semester is approaching to an end, faster than I can imagine, I will try my best to update here every now and then. 

Hopefully, the company I wrote into will get back to me on my cv. Working for them have always been my dream job. I can't see myself anywhere else other than running around planning events, and liaising for the business side of Fashion. My route is set. That certainly doesn't mean I won't change my mind and return to publications. My love for publication will probably never die. It's just business is really important in this century. I want to be a Business Woman ;) , one that is financially independent, have my own apartment and own a british fold cat. Also, occasionally a men to love. So that means I need to start working and saving. *YES I CAN*

I got a few direct messages and FB msges saying that this journey of mine have inspired you to chase your dreams. I'm glad to hear that but every person's journey is different so write yours in pink ink. Never stop believing, discovering and let others doubt you in what you want to do, especially the ones who dull your sparkle because they can't find theirs. Most importantly, it's never too late. x 

Till the next time, signing off with love...

Fleeting Fleet

Amongst the glamour state of 20-30s, we are always  searching for something, anything to satisfy an ease of comfort, safety and assurance. Its a rocky phase. We are lost. Some of us are dreamers, whilst some of us just don't have dreams and live by the day, carpe diem. 

Just two days back, I came across an old article dated 2 years back. An interview with Alexandra Schulman on her first novel :" Can we still be friends?". It is probably my next "to do thing" to slap on my sticky notes on my refrigerator to remind myself that one is always allowed to have a restorative day. My kind of restoration is a good book, raindrops pelting on my window and I lose myself somewhere between words and caffeine in my white comfy sheets. That being said, I am still looking forward to having a day all by myself, work-free. 

Shulman says she remembers well that strange territory between late adolescence and proper adulthood. “Your jobs are precarious, you don’t have your own family yet and you have this feeling of floating. I can remember that time in my life when I had no obligations or responsibilities. I could have traveled anywhere,” but there was never any money, and no friends available to go, she says. “That age comes with its own set of problems. You are so free, but I never felt free.”

Her words hit me. It was right there, the right words to define the situation of every lost person entering adulthood. I then realized I will always be trapped in this even until I find myself and then like what J. Anniston says :" Everything will fall into place when you do." 

No pictures today. Just a sudden urge to pen this down. :) Life's been good. COLD but good. Leaving you with her book to grab off your nearest shelves x

Till the next time,

Ogni Bacio Ha Un Futuro

Shades:  Portabello Market

Bare Back Dress: Designer Cameron Camden

"Ogni bacio ha un futuro" as such in Italian translates as :"Every Kiss Has A Future". Quoted by my Italian friend Vali and also from Little Snob Thing x I loved it. Pardon my hiatus as it's been a really crazy hectic two weeks in school and ever since mum left, I haven't found a photographer who would cozy my pictures up the way i feel comfortable in front of the lens (please excuse this shitty pic because it is self timed). If i can find a stranger every single time I want to take a shot, i will quote their names here. :)  ( That would be my mini project)

Girls with lappy(s) and pretty much on caffeine overdrive sums up the end of January as fall hits London. Sometimes when i walk down the streets out in the cold alone, I can't seem to feel blessed and thankful living in the moment and knowing that time has passed by quickly only because I am doing what i truly love and came here for. 

Some highlights whilst counting stars, I got in to MOVE IT UK 2014, performing with JYP and some other UK Talents. Thanks to Studio 68 <3  It's an amazing feeling being surrounded by talents. I have a girl in my class who used to be Rihanna's back stage dancer and TOP 16 in SYTYCD. I can't even...describe  x Search Sandra Colton on google. :) Sandra if you see this, just know that you are a bomb !

This will be the first time in my life performing overseas. I am really psyched about it because trainings have started almost grinding it down to my muscles aching and sore but I ADORE this feeling. It certifies that I am progressing. When it comes to progression, you can only put a positive note to it.  If possible, I really want to get a job while I am here too.Wrote into Net-A-Porter and trying out writing to Vogue Talent. Visiting Vogue house next week and trying my very best to keep up with school and everything else in my life. 

As much as I ain't homesick right about now, just know that I miss all of you who's reading this back in SG. I don't feel poor because i am unemployed among my graduated batch, i feel rich because i am doing what i know is gonna be my long-term permanent career. I know what i wanna do and this is it. The money will roll in when i get my job to stay, one that I will put my heart and soul into. I find it hard to even stay in a job that I dislike. Not even an hour. So goodbye to job hopping. I am going to be very strict on the next one. 

Leaving you guys with pictures from the other day at portebello market  :) 

Till the next time, signing off with love...
