I guess I should start at the beginning. I wanted to be an actress when I was younger. I would attend local drama clubs and put on 'shows' for my family. I loved it. It wasn't until the time came to audition for drama school and I completely forgot my lines in front of a panel of frowns and begged the floor to open up and devour me that I realized it probably wasn't my forte. So I spent a few years wondering what to do with myself, I took three A levels that were completely unrelated to each other and only went to University because it was the next stage. Even then I enrolled in a course that I wasn't particularly interested in (that only lasted two years). Yet, somewhere in my incongruous journey something ticked. I can't tell you where my interest in fashion started - (it's not rude, I just can't remember) - but ever since the day I decided that it was something I could be fluent in I haven't stopped learning the language. I attended a short course at London College of Fashion and interned at a top model agency. I started blogging and wrote about fashion news and trend updates. I climbed the retail ladder to management level and studied Visual Merchandising to the Nth degree. But after all this I am now in a place where I can start taking myself seriously. I've done the blogging, I've done the reading and I've definitely done the sucking up...so now is the time for me to get where I need to be for myself. To grow a pair and to establish how to get my head out of the clouds. You're invited. Wish me luck...
