Love with a Helping Hand to Others!

Life itself is a beautiful way to gain all the wonderful knowledge of self-learning.  We are all known for our own fast paced movements throughout life, which makes us all strive to succeed in achieving our goals.  However some of us may forget the appreciations of life as well as the people around us.  Ever take the simplest time to reflect on yourself and to remember your own roots of kindness etc?  Through my lifetime of encounters with people and my observations of my surroundings when travelling around parts of the world, I find that in some places there are people who forget to appreciate and cherish all the wonderful things that life has to offer us all. 

Happy 4th of July!!

In celebrations of this day we trend wear 'RED...WHITE & BLUE'

Red Velvet Cupcake Recipe!!

Hello Everyone...today I want to share with you one of my favourite Red Velvet Cupcake Recipes.

Relax Yourself Through Books!

In some of us we all have an interest in reading books and I for one am a lover of reading.  Reading is the most relaxing thing to do, as it helps to stimulate one’s intellect and sometimes we find inspirations within books.  The knowledge we gain from reading allows us to learn something new through the voices of other extraordinary people, through their insight and experiences make us aware of the outside possibilities, which surround us in life.  Any book that is a good read, you can pretty much expect me to find a spot whether it’s relaxed out in the sun, on my travels, sitting back on the sofa or in bed at night.  In my lifetime I’ve read countless of different kinds of books or novels, yet of course not always can we try pack light as well as carry all our favourite books on our travels.  As a good investment I purchased an Apple iPad mini, it is one of the Best purchases I’ve made and very practical for my everyday use in my life.  What I love about my iPad Mini is that it has an app called ‘iBooks’ which allows me to download many favourite books and more.  So if you love reading it is a very handy purchase.

J'Adore Victoria's Secret!!

When it comes down to having a Love for Lingerie with a passion.  My Adoration for ‘VICTORIA’S SECRET’ is FOREVER NEVER ENDING.  Walking in every Victoria’s Secret store is like HEAVEN for me, yet I have to thank my wonderfully patient boyfriend for allowing me to pay my visits to near enough 'EVERY'...V.S store we see on our travels! ^^ From Admiring the themed collection Lingerie pieces that walk down the V.S show runways to seeing them in store is like a WOW factor!!...The Amazement on my face every time I go shopping in the V.S store is like a child shopping for Candy.  What fascinates me the most is the different layouts of each store, how each of the collections are displayed so beautifully screaming out the words Sensual, Seductive, Glamourous and Angel-worthy.  I absolutely LOVE IT! Being a U.S Lingerie brand I was proudly happy that V.S finally opened up a store in my Fellow country U.K London.  All I can say is Victoria’s Secret Lingerie is the Empress of all Lingerie brands out there in my opinion.  Though there are many Amazing Lingerie Design Brands that are just as successful, which I adore too with much passion.  Victoria’s Secret is like my bible book of inspirations! In every girl or woman we are of course ‘ANGELS’!

 'Victoria's Secret - Fashion Show Runway 2012'

'One of Favourite out of the many Fabulous Designs from the V.S Runway' 

'Victoria's Secret - Store Opening in London, U.K'

  …It has always been a passionate dream for me to hope one day I can have the opportunity to work or design for the Victoria’s Secret HQ! Hence one of the many reasons I enrolled and graduated on an (BA) Honours Joint Contour Fashion & Fashion Design course.  Victoria’s Secret not only has inspired me to create with much passion in Lingerie Design, it has inspired me to have fun with experimenting with different elements that make a Lingerie piece stand out from the rest.  It’s really important to create a piece that Fits Great, Looks Amazing on the body and makes every woman feel confident in her own ways.  In today’s Lingerie Industry, lingerie is becoming more confidently worn not only as an underwear garment but also as an outerwear piece too.  The use of bringing back a piece of Corsetry implemented in Lingerie designs can suddenly transform the look of how a Lingerie looking piece can be worn. Yet throughout the forever changing pieces, Victoria’s Secret brand shows much of its Lingerie & Fashion worthy in keeping us up to date with the latest trends. 

'Few purchases from my Previous many V.S Shopping trips' ^^

If you haven’t checked out The V.S Store…it’s definitely a good time to experience the ‘ANGEL’ in you.  For when you do decide to pay a visit to a Victoria’s Secret store, have a Happy shopping for those who Love Victoria’s Secret as much as I do.

Thank you so much for reading!

The Queen Designer of Bridalwear!!

One of my many all time Designer Inspirations is Bridal Designer - Vera Wang.  Her Creative mind in which how she can exquisitely design Bridal wear and make every Bride look Amazingly Special on their day is much of an Admiration as every garment I see on her runway shows.  Every timeless piece she creates inspires me to design with a vision to transform from the delicate fabrics of Tulle, Chiffons, Satins & Silks, and Chantilly lace into designs I proudly hand make with Love.  Vera Wang is the Ultimate Queen of Bridal wear and Formalwear in my opinion, yet through her…she continues to inspire me as a designer to create with a thriving passion.

'Vera Wang - Spring 2014 Bridal Collection'

'Extravagant Pieces from Vera Wang's Previous Collections'

Something about Weddings, Bridal wear, Formalwear that all screams out Romance and Love in my vocabulary.  Summer seasons is always known for Extravagant Wedding planning’s etc.  Many friends of mine have had the luxurious time in planning out for their big day or are in wedding planning mode currently.  I am truly happy for each of them newlyweds to be, yet to see the process of planning become real is even more amazing.  One of my happiest memories was attending my Best friends wedding where I was her Maid of Honor.  That day was really Special to me as I got to see both of my closest and dearest two friends get married, boy oh boy…all those happy tears came out.  From finding that ‘One & Only’ Bridal dress says it all for a Bride, it’s also a once in a lifetime dream for every Bride.  To some of us Wedding planning has always been an all time dream ever since we were little girls, so to finally get that special proposal and opportunity to plan it out can mean the world to us.  

So for those who are planning a Special Wedding...I wish you all a Life time of Bliss, Love & Happiness in Marriage and May you have an Amazing Day with Loved ones.

Thank you for reading!

Yours truly

Inspired to Illustrate!

"Ghetto Elegance"

Today I felt inspired to create a Fashion illustration piece which I would like to share.  One of my many favourite passions is to Create timeless Fashion & Art pieces and express out the art thoughts that play within my mind.  I've loved Art ever since I could put paint colours to paper as a child, yet throughout the years I continue to admire the wonderful minds of all the talented artists who live among us today.  In today's Fashion industry and society, everything that surrounds us is Art to our eyes.  We are surrounded by amazing things that give us Inspiration to use our visions to express our Creative minds.  Through all the Wonderful things which I vision it all inspires me to advance my skills to illustrate and design garments as well as many other things that come to my mind.  Art is also a relaxing and enjoyable hobby, as it helps to free ones mind from other thoughts.  It could be a way to read ones mind in terms of expressing out feelings etc.

"The Secret of Life is in ART" - Oscar Wilde

Thank you for Reading and may the world of ART inspire you all to create your own timeless pieces from your own imaginations.

Believing in Yourself!

Hello! Everyone!...

After much thought to thinking what my first blog post should be? Why not start my very first post on a positive note...'Believing in Yourself!'.  Throughout our Lives we all strive to live HAPPY, give LOVE to those we CHERISH, stay HEALTHY, pursue all our DREAMS of SUCCESS to come TRUE and much more.  However without the Belief to BELIEVE in ourselves, we can sometimes fall in a very dark place.  I BELIEVE that upon all those wishing stars above the sky, each and every one of us is a Star that SHINES so BRIGHT in Life.  Whether we embark on a simple path or a hard one as long a we BELIEVE we can ACHIEVE!...In times when we feel like we are lost in our own deep thoughts, reflect on yourself and count your blessings!...Make every moment of your day count cause as far as what tomorrow has to offer us...we just don't know?!...But what I do know is that waking up every morning and to feel positive to another new day is worth living for in LIFE!! o^^o...

"If you don't like something, change it.  If you can't change it, change your Attitude" - Maya Angelou

...How I see it, even in times of unhappiness...Smile with a strong heart yet only think on the happy thoughts that bring the best out of you.  In Life everyone goes through changes whether its a change of GOOD or BAD...always RESPECT others and others will respect you too!...Become Successful or Famous but NEVER forget your Roots to where you come from, for the family or friends have all helped shape the person you are today. Don't make Judgement on others or feel jealous of other peoples Successes, cause as long as you Believe in yourself you can ACHIEVE anything and everything as long as you put your HEART to it.  Just Feel Happy Like I do for my Family, Friends and my Boyfriend, cause behind every persons smile is a story untold to how each person has come so far to Succeed in life.  As the saying goes "The Happiest people don't have everything, they just make the best of everything they have that makes them happy".

"BELIEVE in LOVE!...BELIEVE in HAPPINESS!...BELIEVE to ACHIEVE!...but most of all BELIEVE in YOURSELF!...don't let others dictate how you live your life!...Find your Inspiration and Purpose in life yet let it Inspire you to Live a life full of Passion to do your Best and make it COUNT NOW!...    

Thank you so much for reading & I truly bless you all to pursue your happiness!
