Killas on the Met Gala Red Carpet 2015

Note to self: Must remember most important Fashion events instead of stumbling across photos via instagram!

Return of the slacker

It's happened again! I've once again got caught up in some bizniz and have neglected my old lovely for 2 months too many, but have no fear I haven't been sitting in bed with my kitty online shopping (atleast not the whole time!) I was lucky enough to land a job assisting a freelance stylist who also happened to be a freelance magazine editor, so I'm sure you can imagine how loud I screamed once I figured I'd landed the job. The internship lasted 8 weeks and did everything from assisting on shoots with skunks and snakes to helping to shop for options for a band that she currently styles! So yes everyday was different and I learned so much. However now I'm back in the game armed with knowledge and a desperation to shop shop shop and blog ofcourse.
First thing next week I'll be purchasing a camera (I so hope I stick to this promise instead of buying everything on the new in section on ASOS) So my picture quality will improve so no more wonky iphone images.

Speak soon x

Hello again!

 I'm currently on my way home from what I would like to call a hard days work, so that's my excuse if I trail off track and start talking complete nonsence. This outfit was a very silly choice going by the current weather conditions and I continued to freeze throughout the day, however I was very impressed with the quality of these RI trousers and as soon as I spotted them I knew they had to be mine! And with a sneaky discount I walked away a happy girl, well until I walked straight into TOPSHOP and bought wayyyy too many irrelevant things. But I tried right?! Anyway I hope you're all well I'm currently experiencing the January blues which I wasn't a believer of until now, I think it's just because my carrer's at a slow point and it's a slow month to be looking for an internship, but on the upside it's fashion week in just under 4 weeks so i'll keep you posted!

Happy January xx

Hello there! I am determined to not let this beyond miserable weather to get me down, although talks of a possible snow storm in London tonight is enough to get me a little worried. Worried in terms of never wanting to get up again and staying snuggled up in bed instead of participating in anything productive. The sales are out in force right now and I'm suprised at the amount that I've been able to find both online and in the sales themselves, although purchasing them from the comfort of my own home is of course my favorite way to do it! These fabulous khaki combat trousers have been on my mind since the minute I first spotted them at full price, yet there was always something stopping me from grabbing them. However now that they have been reduced for the third time now to £10 from £36 you guys can get them too. So another LCM is over however now we only have to wait about another month for LFW so that's mucho exciting, I'm determined to work every show that I can seeing as the one show that I didn't work this LCM resulted in an after party invitation (What are the chances?!!) 

Speak soon, Sian xx

LCM Time-Yum!

So it's London Collection Men's time again and boy am I thrilled! Incase you're not too familiar with what the heck I'm talking about it's the male equivalent of Fashion Week, It's still fairly small scale and only lasts 4 days but today the likes of Wiz Khalifa, David Gandy, Tinie Tempah and Oliver Chesire felt it was appropriate to grace us with their presence (Swoooooonn).

 Today was Day 1 and whilst there were fashion shows over in Victoria House The opening Event was in The Hospital Club. Unfortuatley I am working tomorrow so I am unable to attend what I'm sure will turn out to be the best day but I will be heading over on Sunday and Monday so stay tuned!

Bikini Babes

Despite my love of everything turtle I can't help but tire of layering up, or in my case my lack of attention to the weather. Meaning I leave the house in what some would call summer atire and then regretting my decision as soon as I'm too far away from my house to turn back and chuck on everything thick and wintery. But no fear I am getting there in coping with this weather, and one of my main motivationational tactics is dreaming of the summer and the wonderful holidays that are hopefully set to come my way. And yes if you're wondering I have already started Bikini shopping (I whisper as my Bank account groans), Here's some of my favourite of the minute picks for all you holiday go getters-

2014 Lookback-My Return

Have we become strangers again? It certainly feels that way! But fear no more my time as a Supervisor is nearly up and in around two weeks I will be free to Blog as I please. I love this time of year simply because there's so much going on from Christmas parties and excessive food(Which I know all too much about) to New Years plans and the dreaded resolutions. 

ANYWAY this post is going to be a reflection on my year, so here goes. 

-Blogging

My blog has actually only been running since the beginning of the year, and whilst it has increased my spending like crazy I wouldn't change it for the world. Whilst as of lately I've been really bad updating SKW i think it's so important to have interests and a life outside of work, I mean we all need something to keep us sane right?!

-Fashion Week

This year was my first as an Intern and I was lucky enough to experience London Mens Collection, and London Fashion Week. I am so greatful for the opportunities that I have been lucky enough to have had this year, and I look forward to seeing what 2015 has in store for me!

-Turning the big 18

This August saw my decent into womanhood (At least that's what I'm told) and I finally turned Eighteen. Now whilst at times it feel's the same as being 17 I do feel as if I need to take responsibility for certain things now such as my *cough* spending. And of course finally being able to flaunt your ID is a bonus!

-My Future

I decided fairly recently that I wanted to pursue a career in Fashion, this was such a big step for someone who has changed career decisions more than most. I feel like it's been such a big and fabulous learning curve for me and I'm really enjoying experiencing and deciding on which route to descend upon.

It feels like an eternity since i've blogged and let's face it, it practically has! The latest is that i'm currently spending ny time as Womenswear Supervisor at River Island, just until January allowing me to make some extra money for christmas and experience being a supervisor which i'm still trying to get a grasp on might I add! Today's outfit is meant to be a little inspiration for this party season, throwing on heels and a long coat can add a fab pop if you're in a rush or simply unsure on what to wear for the night.   Believe it or not I'm actually a terrible shopper both online and in the stores, I diver like nobodies business and I can take up to 3 weeks to make a final decision! I'd say all of the items in this outfit were subject to this treatment and I'm suprised that I was able to get my hands on them keeping in mind the amount of time that I took making my mind up. I can't believe how close Christmas is?! And the cheek I had nearly not mentioning the festive season in this post, but thankfully Mariah Carey is now filling my eardrums and my house with Christmas spirit!

   

    Lots of love xx

Matalan have got it down this christmas!

The Happy December everyone, can you believe that we're only 23 days away from Christmas? That's the scariest yet exciting thing I've heard so far this month. Anyway I'm back! I'm not too sure where I've been apart from doing ridiculous shifts at River Island to fund what I can already tell is going to be an expensive Christmas.

This is a quick one from me as always as I am due to leave the house in about 3 minutes for my shift and ofcourse I choose now to start a blogpost, I am absolutely loving RI at the minute and I'm not just saying this as a former employee I promise! Their coat game has always been incredibly strong and this year I feel that they're killing the high street with new up to date fabulous styles weekly, and belive me It's tough to keep up! These fabulous trousers are from River and whilst I'm the clumsiest person in the world by reputation I just couldn't refuse them. They're the perfect slim fit which I have always adored and the cropped leg saves me rolling them up! This is one of my first jumper purchases of the year, Where have I been right?! And believe it or not it's actually from Matalan, I came across it last friday and before I knew it I was holding it to my chest keeping it safe from all the crazy Black Friday shoppers! It was amazingly only £25 and they have it in cream too!

That's it from me, Speak soon x

My first Internship

Last Friday was my final day of my 2 month Internship, and I think it's safe to mention the company and all that malarky now. I was lucky enough to intern at MLPR which has a range of high end and high street fashion clients, I learnt a ridiculous amount and I was lucky enough to be working within a great team!

 If any of you have ever even thought of interning I can't put into words how much I recommend that you take the leap of faith and just start applying for some positions that look like they might be of interest to you. Just to see what reaction you recieve and you've got nothing to lose right?! The great thing about internships aside from the on the job experience is that you can do as many as you like, as the majority of internships range from 1-3 months you have the trial period to see if it might be something that you want to follow through with. If not you can simply move onto the next, sounding fun yet?! Yes some may be tea making, or delivering around London roles but we all have to start somewhere! (As I'm just learning myself)

Overall It was a fantastic experience and I feel confident that having completed an internship will look fab to employers when I being applying again in January. And yes I think it is safe to say that the PR life is as glam as I imagined, I was lucky enough to meet Rosie Fortescue and 5 Inch&Up Blogger Sandra Hagelstam who is just as stunning in real life might I mention, and so humble!

When people ask me how did you get up and out of the house every morning that you wasn't getting paid, I simply laugh as I genuinely have no answer. These decisions are what defines you and there was something in side of me each morning that motivated me to get my ass up and over to the office. I was lucky enough to be paid travel and lunch expenses which is a rare treat, so thank you MLPR! Money is easily made but these experiences can be invaluable, and as so many of us are fighting for them It would be ridiculous for me to drop out for something so insignificant as money.

If you have any questions please do not hesistate to contact me, we can do this guys:)

Happy Wednesday:)

The arrival of H&M x Alexander Wang

OMG OMG OMG I am in shock at how quickly the exclusive collection has sold out, damn me for not taking this more seriously! The much anticipated collection dropped in store and online at 9am this morning and the vast majority of it has already sold out! Never fear I will be venturing to Oxford Street later on today to see what's left for us unorganised folk!

So here's some of my favourite pieces from the current collection:

Halloween 2014

                                    

                             

Hi All! I hope you all had a fab Halloween, mine was defintley erm eventful? I've hadmy first 2 days off in about 2 months this weekend, So it would be silly of me not to shop ridiculousy, blog a little, and catch up on al the TV that i've been missing (What did I do before "The Middle?!)

As per usual this outfit choice was very last minute, with my mum suprising me with this gift from face lace on Halloween night. Hallelujah! Face Lace is a company specialising in stunning face stickers and masks, I'm sure this weekend was filled with Face Lace sporters as they are available to purchase either online at http://face-lace.com/ or at TOPSHOP.

Apologies fort the ridiculousy bad quality photos my phone died the minute we finally got in the club, and I had less than an hour to get ready and get out of the door. Phew the things we go through for Halloween. 

Happy Sunday.x

Hi all! Prepare for a quick one as I've managed to snap some semi-decent photos this morning and I am currently using my last few minutes of my Lunch break to type this up. And then it's back to the craziness that is PR! So if you're wondering yes I am still going, I'd like to say strong but sometimes working 7 days a week can take it's toll on a girl!

Anyway as usual I've dressed completely wrong for the weather as for some Bizarre reason the sun has decided to shine, what in the world?!

I am on a real bargain hunt at the minute so you best believe that this outfit is jammed packed with them, I already have this jumper in cream however I love it so much that a black one was a welcome addition. And for £10 how could I say no?!

I'll get my thinking cap on for an imaginative post as Halloween is nearly upon us (Hooray) It will be my first year as a legal adult so I'm ready to get scared, shocked, and a little tipsy.

 

Happy Tuesday.x

A little fashion advice from a Fashion Intern

Incase I haven't mentioned it enough yet(It's still sinking in) I am currently interning at a PR company on a 3 month basis, I started Mid September and I feel like I've learned so much in such a short period of time.
However when it comes to interning, thinking about your career or just life in general life it can all get a bit daunting and it can feel as if everything is full speed ahead, so here's some tips that I have learned so far working in the Fashion Industry:

-Remember that It's not forever (Unless you want it to be) Your current situation is just that, current! Sometimes you can feel a little stuck if you're not enjoying yourself as much as you expected, but I promise we all feel like that!

-Is this experience going to benefit me? Ask yourself this question before you accept an offer or even apply for a position. Countless times I've applied for jobs that don't interest me and they're normally the ones that you get called back for! So is it necessary experience? Is the company that the experience is for similar to your dream company?

-Don't be afraid to ask questions in the workplace, I should've listened to my own advice here! If you don't ask the specifics about the task in hand if you're anything like me there's a 99% chance you're going to make it worse for yourself by doing it wrong. So Ask away!

-Never shy away from applying for positions because of a fear of rejection, if we all did that we'd never get anywhere! And If Anna Wintour can do it so can we, right? If it takes your fancy apply there's nothing to lose. Head over to www.fashionworkie.co.uk and start today

-Be Friendly to everyone that you come into contact with, staff, employees at other companies, guests etc. It's never too early to make a good impression, Fashion is all about contacts and you'd be surprised at the amount of opportunities that present themselves to friendly positive people.

I hope this helped a little, and if you ever have any questions you can comment below or email me at sianwilkinson5896@yahoo.co.uk.

Happy Tuesday.x

Even though my morning was super rushed I decided that I needed to photograph this amazing bag, it arrived last night and I'm over the moon! It's the perfect size and it keeps it shape so nice one new look. This is a casual outfit perfect for these early mornings which I'm still not used to, mixing old and new pieces feels so refreshing! I think as it means that I can calm down on the shopping front.

Monochrome is taking over my life and my wardrobe (I seem to be having a lack of hanger crisis) So I added my bargain Forever 21 High waisted trousers to the mix, they're the perfect trouser in my opinion because of the cut quality and £19.99 price tag!

 

I'm still currently working 7 days a week like a maniac, however I'm not as tired as I expected to be. I mean I find the energy to go out for cocktails mid week! I feel so lucky to have been given this opportunity as it really was the step up and encouragement that I needed. So any of you guys out there that are not yet in your ideal situation just wait on it(Drake Moment) In time it will all work out.

 

I spent last night at the IRIS 10th Anniversary party held in their queens park store, it was a funfilled night with the drinks flowing and a killer DJ oh and a visit from Rosie Fortescue!
