How to start up a business

Why should I wait to graduate? Why should I pretend that it will all fall into my lap?
I know that if I want a career in fashion I’ve gotta make it happen. I have to work, put in the hard work and dedication. It’s already begun, I just need to keep it going, push it further. Maybe right now I don’t need a boutique, but I can sell my clothes in a shop. I can net work, making things for family and friends and so my name spreads. I am so going to do that. I’m going to start right now.

I have this perfect dream, to live in Paris, France and have my own exclusive boutique. I’m sure that I’ve always known that it won’t be easy and quick, that I’ll have to start somewhere. So why not start right here, right now?

Summer is Near!

Now, a friend of mine didn’t understand why I was so happy for summers arrival… Silly guy! I then had to explain that summer means summer uniform, ice cream, swimming, bikini’s, skirts, dresses, sun!!
It isn’t yet summer, it’s close and mother nature is teasing us, giving us gloriously sunny weather and then the following day,m it’s cold a cloudy. But on one of those glorious days I took advantage of the sunny weather and put on a outfit I would just live to wear! Unfortunately the top doesn’t fit me with the brace on so I won’t be able to wear it. I did how ever enjoy playing dress up!
The outfit consists of a hand me down orange top and a lovely pair of three-quarter jeans from the trueworths sale and a nice pair of mock-suede leather moccasins.

 

 

 

HAPPY  SPRING  DAY!

Back Stage Pass

So I’ve just gotten some fabulous photo’s from Kyra of the fashion show. I had totally forgotten that she had  a camera back stage and had been taking photo’s all afternoon. So this is your exclusive back-stage pass to the Bishop Bavin Fashion Show. I really did enjoy the show, it was really fun. The girls had a blast and it was exactly what I love, the show casing of all my hard work. It had an amazing feeling. And to make the top 3!

   

I have scoliosis and this is how I deal with it

scoliosis

[skoh-lee-oh-sis,]

sco·li·o·sis   
/ˌsko-ʊliˈoʊ-sɪs,ˌskɒl-i-/  

noun Pathology .
an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine.
noun
A condition of lateral curvature of the spine, which may have just one curve or primary and secondary compensatory curves and be fixed or mobile.

Origin:
1700–10; < Greek skolíōsis a bending

scoliosis
706, from Mod.L., from Gk. skoliosis "crookedness," from skolios "bent, curved," from PIE base *(s)qel- "crooked, curved, bent”

Now that we all know what scoliosis is I can continue to tell you what it does to me. I wear a back brace to prevent my 50 degree curve from getting worse. I could have surgery and not wear the brace but surgery fuses my spine together and that isn’t a pleasant idea.
The brace is big and bulky, thus making dressing a little more complex. the brace is oddly shaped and made of a hard plastic. It is sorta long, it passes my hips and starts around my bust. So the outfits I wear then to have to be long and loose.
I’m sick and tired of long and loose and wanna go back to the figure hugging outfits I wore two years ago, but I’m not saying I want to have the operation… 

   

 

 

I’m going into business

Yesterday i made and sold my second order of hats!!! Yay!
I had to make 2 hats for 2 children (aged 4 and 6) who needed them for a hat day at school on Spring day. the mother of the children contaced a friend of my moms who had worn one of my hats to a kitchen tea. Jasmina (the mother) asked Nola (my moms friend) about the hats and Nola contacted my mother who told me and loong story short, I contacted Jasmina and made her kids the hats.

The first hat was for a little boy, aged 6 who likes spider man and bat man as well as cars so taking that into consideration I made the hat.

 

 

The second hat was for a four year old girl who likes Tinkerbelle, Barbie, Pink and purple, so with that in mind here’s the hat

 

Nola was going to give them over to Jasmina this week end but can’t wait to show them to her that she’s going to see her today to hand them over! Nola called to thank me for doing the hats and said she can see me going far in the fashion industry!
