Hey ya’ll, its been a while… yes i know. All of your comments on my blogs have inspired me to keep writing and updating you on my fashion diaries and personal events.

This year has been the hardest year ever for me, and ever so challenging, hard and almost indescribable but with my faith in GOD iv’e managed to be getting through it ok. I was suppose to be graduating from university next month but with facing  slight racism and predjudice I have had to re-do my Final year project which is a 10,000 word dissertation and im now having to celebrate at my graduation next october. I challenged this treatment by writing a letter, headed to the dean of the university and produced evidence of previous complaints so I have an opportuinity to finish my degree a little earlier than next year. GOD is watching over me. xx

Chapter 2. I am sharing my news with you all that I am 5 months pregnant. I was entirely devasted at first because I have so much dreams, ambitions and aspirations which I had strived for to succeed in, and I felt like this was a hinderence. After a few months of bucketfull tears, tantrums and smoking, I spoke to a few people, which included my mother, father, long term boyfriend, my work manager, siblings and close friends and they all saw this chapter in my life as a blessing. I didnt… Unitil I stared seeking help and developing my innermost strenght and power in my faith in God. I know he is there for me. He has blessed me with a new chapter in my life.

Jourdan Dunn….

Reading one of my fashion magazines, I read a new article revealing that Jourdan Dunn was pregnant and that her baby would be due a month before mine. Jourdan Dunn was just a young girl from west London just like me who has become so successful in her modelling career. I am sure she will continue to fulfil it after her child is born. She revealed how happy she was to be expecting her first child, and reading that article, lit a dead flame in my heart. It gave me a glimmer of hope and happiness for my future and inspired me to continue to pursue my dreams, aspirations and goals. My life is not over. I have the loving support I need from all my family, my partner and friends.

This is CHAPTER 2…

The tea and Oranges photoshoot part two…

After a very stressful couple of months, juggling university , a part time job, modelling, and writing for a magazine, I felt bad that I hadn’t had much time to write my blogs. But hey, patience is a virtue , right? I covered many fashion stories from the luxury economic downturn globally to natural beauty for the magazine I writing for and I have managed to keep myself happy as well as busy!! Writing for Fashion Tv gives me a buzz, so when you havent heard from me, Its because am saving all  my good news and experiences  to share with  you.

First of all, I have previously modelled for the label Tea-and oranges once again. It was a great experience to get out of London for the day and work for cash!!! The photoshoot consisted of many different outfits ranging from springwear dresses and vest tops, fitted t-shirts, hoodies and flamboyant dresses. I had a lot of fun, it was probably one of my best shoots to date!  Here are are few pics from the shoot. Please enjoy.

Secondly, I have started a part time nursing job, where I care for the ill and elderly. I happened to be caring for a lady living in a house in West London. I cannot say any names, but as I went inside the house, I looked around to see many photos of a top model from the 70’s. It wasnt until I saw a lady lying down in bed… I realised it was her.  The  pictures were fantastic, edgy, high fashioned as so beautiful, it almost made it cry. I met her late husband who showed me images of her in Vogue and on the FRONT COVER. I was sure I had seen her before, well atleast that’s what I thought. I spent two days looking after her and I can say that ive  never been so emotional over someone I had just met. But, atleast I can say it was a great experience. Not only because I was caring for someone, which I love doing, but also to be looking after and interacting with someone who once shared the same dream as me.  It was an expereince never to be forgotten, and I think I learnt something that day too. Life is too short, to give up on your hopes, dreams and aspirations.. so make the most out of it.

Please enjoy my blog.

Its no  suprise that Victoria Beckham aims to rule the fashion world. She is the new face of Marc Jacobs, and has previously modelled for major fashionistas in the business including Armani and Roberto Cavalli.

Posh was known to bring back the trend with the oversized shades and is now living it up , having just celebrated thanksgiving in L.A with Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.

Victoria has the press gasping every time she is seen in a new outfit. She celebrates her super- skinny physique, wearing 7 inch heels and a pair of skinny jeans and has ditched her bob for her pixie crop. During Vidtoria’s stay in Milan, she’s dressed to impress so much that she managed to snag up a reported £12 m deal to model for Emporio Armani’s new underwear collection for women. Well times is getting real chilly for us! For most of us, winter is about keeping warm wheter it be puffa coats or wrapping up at home in the blanket. Mink if your Beyonc’e. But for Victoria.. Its Ostrich! How lucky is she!

Happy Obama day! Well its been 45 years since Martin Luther King spoke and yesterday was the day a black president became elect for the first time in the western world! I am so happy that Obama won, I could feel the liveness in the air yesterday and it felt xmas day. I felt as thought it was really a time for change, not only for americans but for afro carribeans and the ethnic minority all over the globe.

Seeing that Barack Obama has won and he is the president of United states I feel as though he needs prayer and I wish him well in his work, I mean everyone wants peace and unity and if America is going to be the place where it all starts, then so be it.

Happy Obama Day!!!

I often write in my little notepad I carry around with me, a bit on how im feeling and a paragraph to inspire myself when im feeling a certain way.

D= DONT

U=UNDERESTIMATE

M= ME

D.U.M Stands for Dont Underestimate Me. I have had alot of mishaps and encountered a lot of negative people along my way, some of which try a find a way to put me down. But what they dont know is that they keep me going!

I have been underestimated in many ways and by many people, and the only reason it hurts a little is because I dont underestimate myself. I have a lot of plans for my future and I know my future is in gods hands only, but I would like to think there are people out there who want good for the next person as much as they want good for themselves.

Ive been a busy bee lately, with uni, work and modelling assignments and sometimes I feel a little under the weather… (Its raining right now!!)

Saturday, I had a photoshoot with a male model modelling for a designer called Myra Stuart. Her website is under construction at the moment but you can find out a bit more about her clothes on Fashionspace ( tea-and oranges) It was great. I will upload some pictures shortly.

Take care of yourselves , work hard… and D.U.M, The photos will be up shortly!

Hi guys,

Its been a while, and no i havent forgotten to write ive just been real busy. Anyway, I thought id share with you something that is important and for you to be aware of . I was recently a victim of fraud and a supposed modelling freelance agaent was offering me a well paid spread in ok and essentials magazine. He was offering a lot of money and had told me he saw my porile and picures on a website and that he wanted to know if i was interested in the job.

Well i thought i was, and he told me he’d send out a contract  and details of the shoot, so he asked for my address and i made the cardinal sin of giving it to him.

Well, anyway I received a fraudulent cheque from an insurance company and he had emailed me telling me to cash the cheque immediately and send the remaining amount to the so called mua.

I checked the essentials magazine website where they had up an important notice about so called photograghers and agents doing illegal scams and fraud so i contacted the papers.

I want this blog to be an awareness so please ladies… and gents be careful and dont trust anyone with your details and throughly check out all sites etc before accepting any jobs. I also contacted the police.

 make sure all jobs go through your agency, and take thier details .. dont give yours.

Be careful.
