NOT! Sorry LUKE!!! .... I say not but if they are lined with shearling, this seasons must have, then its a different story. Perhaps you should post pictures on facebook?!

Where are you based? Im thinking personal consultation for free and lets get you looking absolutely fabulous!
-
Send your event details to press offices, you can find the email/phone numbers on Fashion Monitor or Ftape or even google - always follow up with a phonecall. Its not easy as at this time of year, most of the budgets are already allocated so try and give them reasons as to why they should sponsor your event / what you can do for them in terms of press/media exposure.

Work experience. Apply for everything to assisting a stylist to working in a PR office or Magazine, its the only way. Internships are a really good way of finding out which aspects you love and hate before you commit to further education

Well since the last chat, I had the courage to give up my extremely well paid career in pharmaceuticals to pursue my fashion dreams. Its not been easy but i know i have made the right decision. My networks are stronger, opportunities more frequent and my profile raised. I now know more about where i want to head within the industry and where i see myself this time next year. I would encourage anyone unhappy within their job/career to realise that its not that hard to put a plan together to reach your goals - even if it is a little scary!
Also - my son is now 3 and everyday he does something else to make me fall in love with him even more, watching a child grow is the best thing in the world! -
I guess from a formal perspective, my CV is not as accredited as it would be if I were applying for a job in the pharmaceutical industry. I started taking my passions seriously about 2 years ago when i realised that it didnt just have to be a pipe-dream. I have a few fashion events that I have managed under my belt and alot more coming for 2010. My contacts, friends and any dealings I have had so far have been through sheer networking with the right people and doing alot of favours in return for knowledge, advice and work experience. I have a dream you see...!!!!

I am addicted to Ladyhawke so I am really hoping that we'll see alot more of her next year. I have heard the names to watch out for in 2010 are Toro Y Moi and The violet may. I also hope to see alot more of my lovely friends Cherri V, The Zemitones and Roko.

I love a good bargain! Back in the summer, I wandered into a little boutique at Spitalfields and there was this most gorgeous dress, nude cocktail dress, with a scalloped bust line and spaghetti straps, full of sequins that really caught my eye. As I got closer, I realised it was on a sale rail. Originally it cost £240 with a St.Tropez price ta., I paid £20 on the promise I couldnt bring it back if it didn't fit. At that point I thought, I'll just alter it myself if need be, I didnt care! I adored it for months before one day in November of this year, I had an occassion to go to and thought I would see if it fit, I tried it on and it fit like a glove! Biggest bargain of the century!!!

I would recommend having a look at The London College of Fashion prospectus, have a read and see what appeals to you. Perhaps sign up to one of their courses. They offer a wide range of full and part time, even short courses that will give you a great insight into the different area's of the industry. You will meet lots of key contacts at LCF too. They also have mentors and advisors that would be more than happy to give you professional advice. http://www.fashion.arts.ac.uk/

CRY CRY CRY CRY CRY!! no seriously, I am up against really strong competition so it wouldnt be a total shock. I just hope that the judges will appreciate my passion, the time and effort I have put into my challenges and blog so far. I dont think any of my fellow competitors had the savvy to blag their way into the biggest high street mecca VIP area with a TV personality friend to do their first challenge. Or make friends with the Charles Worthing team at their flagship store to have complete control of their studio to complete their second challenge and hire a professional photographer to capture the day. Or have friends/family and colleagues all over the world to show their support. Or spend endless hours contacting all the best of the fashion blogs, publications and contacts via social networking for support........ its been a long hard journey but will be sooooooooo worth it if I do win!

Mother to a 7 year old (eeeek!)
Successful website owner and fashion blogger
Successful string of fashion lines, perhaps with my own boutique in central London as well as affiliations with major department stores and designers.
Successful Fashion Productions manager with a whole CV full of amazingly high profile projects.
Sitting in my London apartment with my nearest and dearest friends and family around a great big dining room table, having a lovely meal to celebrate my engagement to either: One of the Candy brothers, Jude Law, Prince Harry, Christian Bale or Tom Ford (it would be a marriage of convenience!) -
More sleep, more hours in the day, more room in my wardrobes, more money would be nice!
Less - insomnia because I am bursting with design idea's, idea's about how to better my website, idea's for projects for my 9 to 5 job. Less alcohol, I can never say no to champagne. -

Where do I even start with this question? I don't think I could possibly answer, possibly my macbook followed closely by my string of pearls which just go with everything!

NOTE TO SELF: RENEW DRAPERS SUBSCRIPTION!
You would be surprised at what M&S have up their sleeves, they are on the mark with their work wardrobe for the late 20’s/early 30’s ladies, sharp tailoring and designs on trend at completely affordable prices.... and their acceosries are to die for at ridiculously cheap prices. I think H&M have a lot of potential following their recent success and I just know that Kate Moss has another collection in the midst that fans will go crazy for. Internet shopping for high street fashions has had its 15 mins of fame and I expect that profits will be on the up for high street shopping next year -
Have a threesome with Jamie Dornan, Jude Law and my ex MW in the goodies cupboard at the Vogue office London – being totally candid with you!!! ha ha ha!

Got to say, I was pretty sad to hear that YSL died. But to be fair, we have lost so many iconic and amazing people recently. Including my dear nan...RIP to them all

Ok, don’t panic. Firstly, check out ASOS – but make sure you also check to see whether they can deliver in time and if there are any voucher codes you can use for free delivery or additional discounts.
I find Lipsy always have something that you can dress up or down and accessorize to suit for most occasions. French Connection also have a 50% sale on and there is a hot pink one shoulder number that would make any girl stand out of the crowd…. Unless you’re standing next to The Saturday’s! -
Obviously my son!!! I would immediately head back for my Gia London dress that has been staring at me since November whispering ‘wear me, wear me’ but as I keep telling it, we’re not in the right season yet, I will wear you in Spring! I just hope moths don't get to the £260 worth of loveliness, it's worth every penny!
-
I wish I had time. I have a pile I haven’t even opened the cover of yet. If I manage to stretch time boundaries to make a 48 hour day, then we’ll talk again!
I do have a lovely for Taschen, it doesn't take much time to appreciate great pictures though, i love wandering around the bookshops of Charring Cross whilst waiting to meet friends for lunch.
