Shoot with Dirty Sexy Things star - Charlotte De Carle

I recently had the wonderful opportunity of assisting on a photo shoot with star of the hit series Dirty Sexy Things - Charlotte De Carle (aka Professor Green's best friend!). The shoot had the whole Monochrome trend hitting off, in order to feature in an issue of Closer in the near future.

Working on this photo shoot really was an amazing opportunity and I got to work with some great people within the industry. Its a pretty cool feeling to be able to say I've worked with somebody who has done Rihanna's make up and somebody who has styled Victoria Beckham.

The sun was beaming all day and for us - this was perfect, as we were very keen to get some shots done outside.

I've always thought I wanted to just be involved with the journalism side of fashion but after experimenting with styling, I found it really enjoyable and have decided I'm going to try and mix things up a little with regards to my future career.

Boy Street Style Grunge

I don't know whether its just me being stuck in my ways but at the minute I'm absolutely loving this sorta street style where girls can totally dress down and rock this boyish look. I've always been the sort to wear oversized jumpers and printed tees, whether it was on trend or not. However, now I'm more than satisfied that it is now considered socially acceptable to wear such clothing. Its always a plus point when you and you boyfriend have a similiar style as well - you know what that means...sharing clothes!

Enchanted, unicorns, sequins and festivities!!

Is it just me or are Unicorns everywhere recently?! Although most days I look like a gothic/grunge queen there is definitely a pastel princess lurking somewhere within. I am in love with this enchanted Unicorn trend; it's full of girlyness and sparkle. The rainbow colours excite me so much and just make me feel really happy. I am totally going to invest in the powder blue Unicorn Jumper from Urban Outfitters. I mean how can you possibly resist it? It would be the cutest asset to any girls wardrobe. As for the little enchanted bandage tin, I would just have to purchase for its adorability factor; although ill admit £7 is a little steep purely for bandages. However I'm sure I would find some way to justify the price. Also, i intend on having this my little pony cake for my 18th. It literally has my name on it. It's meant to be I guess.

Just thought I'd add a quick selfie as well! Thought i'd opt for my treasured leather jacket today!!! Oh and give a warm welcome to our first festive and wonderful family addition (the Santa Clause in my front window.)

Confession.

I'll be the first to admit. I'll hold my hands up and confess that yes I am in fact - a sucker for leather and studs. We all have that one fashion obsession that we just want to re-live forever and this is mine. Whenever wandering aimlessly around shopping centres I almost have anything leather and studs on some sort of radar and if I come across anything fitting that description - I have to purchase. I'm totally into the rock/gothic look, its edgy and can add a great element to any outfit. Sometimes I go all out and flaunt a grunge ensemble, other days I'm a pastel princess. It entirely depends what mood I'm in, however I would say this sort of clothing and shoes is my 'safe place' and what I feel most comfortable in. I suppose that's the thing with fashion, the meaning of the word is so vague and there are so many options. Probably the reason why everybody has caught the bug, but can you blame us?
