Week 4 in a FM's Girls diary...

When I watch the famous Hill's episode - Jason's birthday (you all know it), and you see Lauren working away backstage at a shoot, and she's desperate to leave, we all thought to ourselves a true fashionista would not be desperate to leave. However what they do know show on screen is the length of time she was probably waiting around for before they gave her work.

I found this out the hard way.

Turning up and speaking to the organisers, I was feeling very Conrad chic, and then they told us to wait. And wait. And wait. Until 6 hours later they eventually gave us something to do.

Working backstage at the show was a really great experience. I was given a group of model, a rail with 3 different designers’ garments and the opportunity to style the outfits as I liked. From reconstructed Rosehip and Tutu vintage wear, to Moschino dresses, we dressed the models.

Leaving the hotel 10 hours after arriving, I was exhausted but it gave me a real insight into what is needed behind the scenes, helpful for my own shoot in week 5...

Week 3 in a FM Girl's diary...

What a productive week!

Having got over the shock of the sheer amount of work we have to do in the next three months, I thought it was time to put pen to paper...well technically phone to ear, and get organised.
And if I don't say so myself, did pretty well!

I called a small vintage shop on Rosemount I had never heard of on the off chance they would allow us to borrow some clothes for the photo shoot we have to organise for coursework. On the other end of the phone was an extremely helpful lady who was interested in helping us out. I organised a meeting and on Thursday Megan and myself arrived at Rose Hip & Tutu - a bright, airy shop, well more of a gallery for clothes, and were greeted by one of the owners, Sally. Her shop is fantastic and their concept is so simple and effective you think surely everyone would be doing it - taking something old and making it something new? Genius isn't it.

There will soon be an article up on how the two ladies set up their business and their background, as well as a spread on their clothing shortly, but I would really urge you to pop in and have a look at their stuff, or better still, take something of yours along and get it restructured, restyled, appliqued, whatever you fancy!

As well as this I've been given the opportunity to work backstage at the Toni & Guy fashion show. More next week on how I get on being Lauren Conrad for a day :p
In doing so I've had to turn down Pr-ing for Enter Shikari on the same night...boo... but I literally can't wait, bring on Sunday :D

First Ever Post...

So it's getting kinda chilly, and everywhere you look is Christmas themed (I know, it's not even Halloween!), So first discussion... What will you be wearing this winter? Post a pic, link to polyvore or just leave me a comment telling me what your wearing, and I'll be back shortly to tell you mine.




I have a suspicious feeling it will revolve round my little bitty expensive new Gilet...
