Clothes Show Live 2014

One of the biggest Fashion and Beauty event's in the UK has just had it's last day at the NEC in Birmingham. I am delighted to say I was lucky enough to visit the show on Saturday and had a fantastic time. With the New York themed runway performance in the Alcatel one touch fashion theatre and endless stalls for shopping including big beauty names such as Rimmel London, Barry M, Ciate and THX as well as fashion brands Hotmess!, Public desire, In the style and Millie Mackintosh. 

There was also a designer outlet available for Platinum ticket holders which included names such as Bora Aksu, Muubaa, CLEO B, Bolongaro Trevor and Gushlow & Cole. The show is also a great place to visit if you are looking at pursuing a future career or further education in the fashion industry as top insiders and universities such as the Conde Nast college of Fashion and my very own UCA university all have stall's to give you any information you need! 

I have attended the Clothes show for 5 years in a row now and have truly enjoyed myself every single year! I would deffinatley recommend it to Fashion student's just as much as anyone interested in the industry or just likes a good shop! 

Here are some images from the day and some of the best bargain's I nabbed! (Another highlight of the event)

Thank's for reading and please don't hesitate to ask any question's about the show! Love hearing feedback from you guys :) Hope you enjoyed and ill be back soon,

Fashion Promotion and Imaging

Hello again! 

Just a little post to celebrate finishing my first unit at university! Had to give a 5 minute presentation today on my chosen brand for the project which I think went well so now to have a nice relaxing week off at home! We had to create a future concept for our chosen brands, mine was Kenzo. There's a few examples of my work below so take a look if you're interested and let me know what you think! 

Personally I think it's a great idea and would work perfect for Kenzo's target audience!

Ashleigh's nails!

Hello everyone! 

It's that time of week again, new nails! Here's a couple I have had over the past few days. Using both Models own and French Connection polishes I created these two looks!

Models own 'Fuzzy Peach' 

I created this look with the peach base colour and using nail pens applied the Leopard print effect. All you have to do to create this look is apply a few white patches around the nail. After you have applied the white just do a few small black outlines but do not outline the whole patch or it will look like spots! Add your top coat and you are away :)

French connection Maroon Purple (out of a gift set)

To create this daisy print look, you will need a base colour, white polish pen/brush, and yellow polish pen/brush. To start randomly apply small yellow dots around the nail (not too close together). Then after they have dried apply small white dots around the yellow spot to create the daisy effect! Try to use a small round nail stick to do this or nail pen as using a polish brush will just make big splodges of white and ruin the effect. 

Hope you enjoyed my two quick leopard print and daisy print mani's! If you have any questions please feel free to ask and leave any feedback or comments! 

Thank's for looking,

Loveash-xx
