You only live once

Lately, i'm trying to face the truth instead of lying to myself, whats the point in lying? It's doesn't make you  happy, even if  you do wish there was a side of you that felt differently but unfortunately, things change.

Anyway... Hello! It has been a while. This isn't one of my usual fashion - hair  inspiring blogs but it is about one of those moments when you  just stop and take a step back, and everything hits you. I love that feeling, it makes me feel alive, like i know what i want and i know what i need to do. I know what i want in life, I graduate next year and i'm hoping to either land in a really good job within Fashion, or go abroad travelling, you only live once, i'm still young, and i have my whole life ahead of me, so why not? 

I tend to have these moments when I've had one of those fed-up sort of days, i always try and snap out of it by thinking about the positive things in life! I had one of these days today, in which i found myself craving chocolate and because i couldn't go buy any (as i'm saving my money because I'M GOING TO BARCELONA! More about that later) Luckily, i found brownie mix in my cupboard - Yay! Its safe to say my horrible day turned into  a lovely evening with two of my girls. We decided we would all spend the evening together, eating crap and watching films! As girls do! :-) We watched Sisterhood of the traveling pants 1 & 2! (How fit is Kostos!?) It's made me really want to go to abroad, which i will be soon because im going to Barcelona! Not quite the same as Greece i know, but it's still going to be a nice break away from everything going on here... Like, I always think to myself, how good would it be if i could just run away from all the problems? Well, we know that isn't the answer so i just tell myself to have a nap instead and get over it, this is why my friends probably find me asleep most of the time! :-P  Life's a bitch though right? we all have to deal with bad moments from time to time. 

So yeah, i'm going to Barcelona in 2 weeks and 3 days! I'm so stupidly excited. We're going to see a lot of Gaudi, his work is just amazing and so inspiring, along with Salvador Dali - Can't wait!!! 

Anyway, Tomorrow i'll be doing some more fashion inspiration's for you's! My sister's getting married next year, and i need to find a style for my dress! - Excited! 

Peace Out.

Dee.

My Story...

I've always been a vain creature! I don't know why, because on most days i look in the mirror and i think 'sweet  Jesus' -  i suppose we all think that though, right? While other's... they might think you look great!  Don't get me wrong, we all have our good and bad days!

I've always been told that i'm very photogenic! Ever since i was young, I've helped my sister and other  friends with their projects by modelling! I've always helped out when it's come to stuff like that. I've helped out at the College fashion shows by agreeing to do some catwalk modelling... next to professional models too! I have to admit, the pressure was unreal. I can't imagine what it's like at a real professional  fashion show!!

 

 This is me modelling for my collection - Punk and Disorderly!

Bits and bobs from walking the catwalk!

 

Being a model, was what i always wanted to be when i was growing up! My mum bought me and my sister one of those photo-shoot  packages! I LOVE IT! I feel very vain saying this, but the photographers said i had the face for it!

 

 Since then, i was sure that's what i wanted to do, my mum supported me all the way! I got accepted by a modelling agency... i received a letter  through the post with details and got very excited until i saw that we had to pay so much to build a portfolio! But mum was willing to pay! she wanted this more than me i think! My cousin, being a professional model, said i shouldn't pay any agency! After this,  i didn't know what to do. I eventually got really busy with college and work, that i gave up!

Unfortunately, i lost my mum just over a year ago, My aunt (Mums sister & my cousins mum) is always saying i should get into commercial modelling... and i know my mum always wanted me too because deep now she knew i did too! My dad never shuts up about it either!

My Cousin is a big inspiration to me!  She does all sorts of modelling! she's out there and  She's amazing!

People say, if you want something, you can do it! You just have to go the right way about it and think positive!

But I'm not sure where to start!

If you think you can help me or give me any advice, please get in touch!
