Hello Lovelies!
God, it feels so good to say that again!
I missed this! I've been so out of it for so long and it's seriously starting to make me feel bad, not writing down how I feel, I definitely needed a huge kick up the ass.
I realised how much I enjoy writing and I hope none of you have moved on to greener pastures and have waited eagerly by your laptops, praying for my return.
A lot has gone on since I went MIA, both in the fashion world and my personal life and I will be telling you all about it in time, just let me get back up to speed!
On a serious note, I am eternally grateful to the people who read this blog, who actually have decided my writing was worth it. I still have my doubts as to whether I can write or not and if anyone even takes anything away from this blog then I couldn't be happier. I've had some lovely surprises and made some decisions about my life lately and I hope you guys want to follow me on my journey.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Cya soon,
Jx

Awards season: PCA and Golden Globes;
Hello Lovelies!
I'm back at university now so I'm back for a fashion filled 2015!
Now there's nothing better to me than January sales and... Awards Season! The only time I can sit in front of the TV and scream about Leo DiCaprio and not get judged...much.
Along with the beautiful celebrities, there are many beautiful dresses and I've already seen quite a few that will be making my list. However, there were also some red carpet train wrecks out there this year, which I will be reviewing as well.
People's Choice Awards:
As soon as I turned to the E! red carpet channel, I had already chosen my favourite dress of the night, worn by one of the interviewers, E!'s very own Giuliana Rancic. Her choice of a spearmint coloured Tony Ward dress paired with Gianvito Rossi heels had me fall in love with this perfectly feminine outfit, deeming her to be best dressed at the Awards. I also loved Monica Potter's choice of simple and flattering black jumpsuit with gold chain in a halter neck, a perfect contribution to this year's go to style.
This award show for me was definitely more misses than hits this year. Especially with Kat Dennings channelling Morticia Addams (which is only okay on Halloween), and Sara Hyland looking like a 20's chandelier. I honestly did not enjoy her dress and was quite sad as I usually look forward to her outfit choices.
Golden Globes:
Now is it just me, or did everyone at the Golden globes wear white? It's definitely going to be this year's red carpet colour I feel, with celebrities such as Kate Hudson and Emily Blunt, wowing all the magazines with their gorgeous choice of dresses. With her pale skin and glowing make up, Emily definitely looked stunning in Michael Kors and Lorraine Schwartz Jewellery.
I also fell in love with Emma Stone's Lanvin jumpsuit, the navy blue colour is definitely gonna be entering my wardrobe soon! The encrusted silver bodice gave the whole outfit a glamorous flair.
So there's the best and worst dressed of the People's choice awards and Golden globes. Hope you all had as much fun watching them as I did!

Chanel Métiers D'Art Show:
Hello Lovelies!
Over the start of this month we've had some of the most important fashion shows of the year, I'm talking Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Dior and my favourite designer house Chanel's Metiers D'art which was held in Austria this year. We had already seen the hints of a new show in the Chanel film 'Reincarnation' with Pharrell Williams and Cara Delevingne in beautiful Austrian period clothing and the show did not disappoint.
The name of the show was 'Métiers D'art' which translates into 'Craftsmanship', which was the perfect name, as every piece in the collection was made of layers and intricate gold embroidery on lace and wool. Lagerfeld also incorporated high necks with ruffles which gave a royal air around the collection.
Since the show was in Salzburg this year, Lagerfeld used many Austrian traditions while adding a playfulness to the outfits with beautiful butterflies and flowers that introduced a spot of colour. My favourites included the heavy yet light coats and the beautiful ruffled dresses worn by Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne.
The venue itself was beautiful, with tables, futons and the whole place was full of candles and the whole place was perfect. I may be biased but I believe this was the best show I've seen this year - with the exception of the other Chanel shows - and it perfectly captured the trends of pre-fall 2014 in a perfect Chanel way.
I'm so jealous of every person who gets invited to a Chanel Couture show, so Karl Lagerfeld if you're reading, please send me one, please, please.
If you haven't already watched the show then here it is;

Clothes Show Live 2014;
Hello Lovelies!
Happy December!
I know I haven't posted in a while but I've been super busy because I'm moving to Liverpool next year and I've been travelling a lot back and forward.
I promise I'll never leave you again *hugs for all*
I went to the Clothes Show Live at Birmingham NEC on the 5th and it was very fun! There was so many beautiful clothes, great celebrities and some great deals on make up! I walked away with some amazing deals from Barry M including limited edition nail polishes, lip stain and eye shadow for only £10!
The whole area was full of celebrities there, mainly Made in Chelsea and TOWIE stars, including Lauren Goodger, Millie Mackintosh and even *swoons* Andy Jordan. I got a snap with him and his darling Mum, after buying a t-shirt from his surf shop Jam Industries. I recommend going to their on line store for more comfy and wearable clothing. The ASOS stores were also very stylish and surprisingly affordable.
The fashion shows themselves were a sight to behold. Multiple universities were asked to exhibit their clothes on the Image catwalk. Some of my favourites came from these catwalks and I sat through two shows in awe. Their designs were innovative, feminine and funky in all aspects and I definitely saw some of the next upcoming designers on the runway.
I definitely think that the Clothes Show should be on everyone's list for a fashionable and affordable 2015!
On another note, yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting the biggest boy band in the world - One Direction. My younger sister has had some health problems all her life and was offered some 'wishes' by the charity 'Rays of Sunshine'. So yesterday, my family and I went to London, were picked up in a limousine and taken to meet the boy band! My sister and my family are incredibly grateful for the experience and would greatly appreciate donations to the charity and thank them so much for making my sister's dream come true. I'll be posting pictures to Instagram so take a look!

Secrets of the PR girl
Hello Lovelies!
I thought today I'd address the question I get asked most regularly;
"Why did you choose PR?"
A very good question, and to answer it I thought I'd use someone else's opinions, since you're probably sick of me gabbing on about myself!
So I decided to put my PR hat on and conduct some interviews on my lovely and fashionable PR girls who I have the pleasure of working with at Edge Hill. So here's some interviews I conducted with my lovelies Holly, Beth and Lore.
So girls, what made you want to work in Public Relations?
B: I used to work in a outdoor shop at home, so I had to keep thinking of ways to keep people interested. Personally, I think that I just love the idea of creating something that the public will enjoy. I also like the social media aspect.
H: Same, I worked in a PR consultancy back home, called Cream Consultancy and they taught me a lot, so I thought I'd become more qualified and get a degree.
L: I didn't even know what it was, but my Dad mentioned it, saying that I'd be really good at it. So I decided to research it and fell in love.
I always wanted to be doing something different and interesting everyday! What kind of PR do you want to go into?
H: I think I want to be an all-rounder! I enjoy all the sectors of PR and would love to be part of all of them.
B: I'm currently still undecided! There's so many different branches of PR to go into, I'm leaning towards events PR but I'm still choosing.
L: It's between celebrity and consumer PR. I wouldn't mind b2b either, but politics is a big fat no.
It's amazing how many different ways we could go with this degree! Right now, here's some fashion questions! What's your favourite clothing shop and why?
L: That's hard! I LOVE Zara but I can't always afford it. I also really like UniQlo and H&M which are way more affordable.
H: I think New Look is my favourite because it's affordable on student budget and it's still fashionable!
B: I have two favourites. Forever 21 and Jack Wills. Jack Wills for the classy, traditional feel of the clothing and Forever 21 for its edgy hidden gems you can find in there! AND it's reasonably priced!
Interesting that all of us have such different tastes isn't it? Okay, what's your favourite trend that's emerged this winter?
B: Those high neck polo jumpers are the best! And I love the colours that are in right now, especially the greens and the burgundy! Winter is just my favourite because I love chunky knits!
L: My ideal winter outfit would to be a black polo neck jumper, black or dark brown cotton bottoms- I love to be comfortable - knee high boots and a fur coat.
H: I went to New Look the other day and bought a gorgeous pair of ripped skinnies! They're everywhere!
Thanks for those girls, now last question...any advice for the kids who might be studying PR in the upcoming years?
L: Be prepared to write about things you don't want to write about - but always do it the best you can!
B: I'd probably say that you shouldn't leave assessments to the last minute! Make time for them, and work hard so you can play hard with your friends!
H: I'm gonna be the cheesy one and say follow your dreams and be ambitious and you'll get there!
Thanks guys!
Hopefully the girls have given you some help and you still want to study PR! The girls will be featured in my posts again so you can get to know them better!
Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon!

P.S I've got some wonderful things in the works so watch this space lovelies!

Liverpool Trip;
Hello Lovelies!
Hope all of you had a lovely Bonfire Night in the UK!
I've had a bit of a hectic week with my assignments being due this week but I did have one day of relaxation where I visited the beautiful city of Liverpool for some retail therapy!
But before I tell you about that, first I have to express my extreme happiness because my December Vogue arrived! I have never been so excited to see it but there's something about Christmastime which gives me the fashion bug! Anyway, enough fangirling here's what I did this week!
While in Liverpool, I visited my favourite high street shop Topshop and although I didn't buy anything (I'm a student and currently very poor) the colours and clothing are just to die for!
I fell in love with a forest green lace dress for £36 but sadly, I can't afford it yet! It might have to be New Year dress for Christmas if Mother is feeling generous...
I also went into Forever 21, a shop which can be a bit hit and miss for me sometimes but I found a short dark teal textured skirt for only a fiver and I just had to buy it! The greens are currently my favourite colour for winter and autumn, along with black and burgundy.
Then, ladies and gents, I went into the store that no student with a passion for make up should go into.
MAC.
I know, I know, I shouldn't have but I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame.
I ended up walking out with a new eyeshadow Humid (dark forest green), a lipstick Hang Up (burgundy red) and a guilty grin on my face.
Of course, you can't visit Liverpool without doing a little sightseeing, so I decided to visit the Walker Art Gallery and look at some of the paintings. It was really very beautiful and so interesting.
Now, I've started writing up my christmas list for the family, begging for Paloma Faith tickets and a ticket to London Fashion Weekend with my darling sister.
Hopefully all my Christmas wishes will come true!
Thanks for reading and see you soon!

Autumn favourites;
Hello Lovelies!
Joanna here and I know I said I'd be posting on Mondays and Thursdays but I was so excited to do my first fashion PR post that I couldn't wait!
Autumn is my favourite time of year because of the beautiful colours, Halloween, Bonfire Night and of course the Fall/Winter lines coming out!
Now first, let's talk about the colours which are in season...
Neutral tones Everyone is wearing soft tones such as white, camel, beige, and cream to name a few, adding a splash of light break in this season's usual dark wardrobe.
Burgundy My personal favourite. Nothing says Autumn days like a chunky knit burgundy pullover and a pair of black skinnies. The colour, even worn as a lipstick, gives a warm feeling to any outfit you wear this season.
Green Not the lime greens of spring and summer. I'm thinking moss, sage and olive. Dark colours that highlight skin tone and freckles and everything cute and wonderful about this time.
And now lets talk about the clothing...
Ripped Skinnies These little guys seem to be worming their way into every high street store's autumn line. Topshop, I don't think, are even selling jeans without the distressed knees!
I'm not complaining though, these jeans are exactly was is needed for this season to go with the grungy colours and style of this year. My favourites are at Topshop for £42 or at boohoo.com for £25 today!
Poloneck A timeless classic has finally appeared back in our stores. Wear this with jeans, skirts, dungarees and even as a dress! I'll definitely be getting my hands on these soon! H&M are doing a fabulous line this Autumn and I urge you to check it out!
Capes The only way to keep fashion forward and cosy this season! Add a touch of high fashion flair to your wardrobe with these beautiful capes at River Island you will be the most sophisticated girl out there!
Now I know there's a lot more amazing things to discuss about the new season but I promise I'll get round to it!
I also have some news; on Friday the 5th of December I will be visiting Birmingham for the Clothes Show Live and I have Platinum tickets and brilliant seats for the show! So don't worry my fellow fashion lovers I will be documenting (and shopping) furiously to ensure I have some juicy fashion and beauty insights to give you all!
Anyway, Thanks for reading and I'll see you soon!
