New Chapter..
On the 17th September 2014 I started a new chapter in my life, I left home in Birmingham and moved to Southampton. I am now a University student studying BA (Hons) Make Up and Hair Design at Solent University. For the short amount of time I have been here I am surprised at how much I have already learnt about myself and about Hair and Make up. The first week of University was so crazy, I didn't have time to take everything in. Here I have documented everything I have done prior to leaving for university and during my first week. Enjoy!
Me, Myself & I
As a huge make up lover with a passion for fashion I am currently focusing my future career path within the fashion industry. I was inspired to do this from being a huge fan of Fashion Week and the most beautiful magazine in the world, Vogue. I dream of one day being able to work with some of the industries top professionals and influential people such as the photographers, designers and models who all contribute to Vogue magazine. I would also at some point in my career like to experience the TV, Film and bridal side of the industry to expand my skills. Once i have gained exceptional skills and knowledge i would love to teach other aspiring artists my craft and inspire them like my tutors have and still are doing. I have always had a soft spot for cosmetic products inspiring me to one day have my own line of cosmetics or help develop products for another company, testing out different formulas, textures and colors fascinate me.
During my course I get a fantastic opportunity to expand my writing abilities which i hope allows me to freelance in beauty journalism for magazines, guest blogs and my own blog. Finally, my one dream i have in life besides the make up industry and my career is to travel the world, to experience different cultures, learn different cultures and see how beautiful the world is for myself .
'If I could.. I would..'

Our summer project was to create a mood board to visualize who and where you would like to be in 5 years' time. What amazing job do you dream of doing? what type of person would you like to be? what would you like to look like? who do you want to work with? You can be as imaginative as you like, there are no boundaries- no glass ceiling! This is a great chance to show your own unique style, thoughts and dreams.
Knowing I had to create a mood board instantly excited me, creating something that visually shows my inspiration, style and mood through pictures rather than text is fantastic and a great way to show off my thoughts. Using the internet, magazines and product catalogue' I started cutting and sticking straight away.

This collection of images found from Magazines inspire me because its fashion
