A Busy Bee...

For the past two weeks I have been working at Dinosaur PR as an intern which has been an insightful experience. 

Unfortunately, in this time I haven't blogged as much however now I am back and ready to write again!

A little about my time at Dinosaur PR

Dinosaur PR is an agency based in Leeds which delivers PR strategy's to a broad range of clients. They special in online PR and marketing which is becoming increasingly important as technology develops. 
I enjoyed my time there and learnt a lot! Online PR helps a company so much, it reaches out to a much larger audience than traditional PR and achieves good results.

Whilst there I wrote several blog posts for Student Wire - a social media platform belonging to one of their clients, a blog post for Dinosaur PR's own website and blog posts for other clients as well. I learnt a lot about PR campaigns and over all I feel I have a much better understanding of the PR world.

Race For Life 

I also recently completed the 10k Race for Life in Leeds with two of my friends.
 Cancer research is an amazing charity and I'm so glad we did something to help them. We managed to raise £155 which was more than our target. I'll definitely be doing it again next year and I think you should too!

Cara Delevingne


Cara’s presence is something you cannot escape.

 At just 20 years old she has already graced the cover of Vogue, been the face of various advertising campaigns such as Burberry, H&M and Zara. Her popularity on the runway is huge – she has modelled collections for the likes of Emilio Pucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Victoria’s Secret and Chanel.


She is lucky enough to have celebrity friends including Rita Ora and Rihanna and has been snapped various times with Karl Lagerfield himself... is there any wonder I'm envious?



So what is it about Cara? Her trademark eyebrows, her celebrity friends or her amazing face and figure?
There are thousands of beautiful models but Cara shines. Her popularity is huge. In my opinion, it’s her obviously fun personality which has launched her success on such a huge scale. She has been papped a variety of times pulling some hilarious faces and always looks like she is enjoying herself.



Follow her on Instagram and you will become acquainted with her comical t-shirts, funny face pulling, large eyebrows, celebrity friends and iconic looks.


She's my current girl crush... who's yours?

Versace Resort 2014

As I mentioned below, Resort wear is designed for the extravagant jet-setter. The clothing is designed to meet the needs of the year round traveller. Garments are versatile, enchanting and ready to wear.

Versace’s resort 2014 collection debuted in New York on Friday and certainly did not disappoint.

The collection included an essence of the sailor through large buttons, stripes and checks in a beautiful turquoise blue that resembles a Mediterranean sea.



Low waist skirts and trousers combined with cropped tops added sex appeal to the outfits.

Stunning white dresses and skirts with thigh splits channelled the expensive glamour Versace is renowned for.

 

Bold but delicate floral prints, crisp whites, succulent yellows and girlish pinks contributed to the collections versatility making it suitable for any occasion that a stylish traveller would need.

Nina Ricci - Resort 2014

Resort wear is always beautifully crafted. It is designed for the glamorous jet-setter destined for paradise.

Nina Ricci's collection is full of extravagant feminine pieces that would look perfect on the elegant and sophisticated woman. They are the type of clothes that you could simply throw on last minute and still look bewitching. Co-ordinate tailoring, juicy limes, mild yellows, flirty skirts, girly frills and floral prints contribute to making this collection wonderfully charming.

Here are a few of my favourite items however the whole collection is worth a look.

My own Deirdre Barlow's...

In my last post I talked about my love of round sunglasses so I thought I'd update you with my latest lovely pair! This time I bought some online from boohoo.com which I initially thought could be risky due to being unable to try them on. I'm quite picky when making any purchase as I like to be 100% sure I am happy with my item. However, to my surprise I liked them immediately. 


 I love the cream and silver frame, they are simple but cool and will go with any outfit.
However, it has already been pointed out to me that they resemble a young Deirdre Barlow's glasses but I have decided to embrace this. Trends always come back around so you could say I used Deirdre as inspiration. Although, I will only be saying this about her glasses and nothing else.

Shadey Ladies

 Sunglasses- the summer staple.
Yes ladies, it's time to get shadey! Remember a good pair of sunglasses can do a lot of things. They protect your eyes from the sun, compliment your outfit and are the perfect way to hide your face when not wanting to be seen. Therefore, buying the correct pair is an important decision and one NOT to be rushed.
Sunglasses come in so many shapes and sizes it is important you choose the correct ones. If you have a small face and nose, then you don’t want them too large as you may look slightly bug like. If your jaw is a square shape I would avoid square glasses and go for something more circular or aviators.


This year round sunglasses are everywhere. It's time to take inspiration from the legend that is John Lennon. Beyonce, Rihanna and Rita Ora have all been seen sporting a circular pair and if it’s good enough for them then it’s good enough for us!



 These sunglasses were an absolute bargain from Peacocks. They were only £5 and I bought them as a tester pair. At first I was unsure whether I would suit them but now I have fallen in love. So much that I am currently on the lookout for another pair in a lighter shade. The high street has cottoned on to the trend so I’m sure it’ll be an easy task.
The dream pair would be from Wild Fox. There sunglasses are gorgeous but unfortunately don’t work with my student budget. If you want to make a serious investment in your shades then I would definitely recommend checking them out!
 Are you on the lookout for some round shades?
