Liss, where have you been?!

Wait, don't shoot me yet, I've got a valid reason for not posting in a month! Okay, okay, it's been over a month but here is my reason...

I'm officially part of the Oxford Fashion Week Editorial Team! 

This means I have to write articles, blogposts, attend and write about events and do interviews with designer who are showing at Oxford Fashion Week this November and I'm loving every second of it!

I can't post these articles on my own blog as I wrote them for the Oxford Fashion Week blog and they own them but I can post the links and images on here to get you to read them.

Posts I have written so far:

More Oxford Fashion Week posts will be added into another blogpost when they are done.

I will be trying to get back into blogging on here but neglecting this blog for a little while for the sake of writing for Oxford Fashion Week is worth it I think!

Oxford Fashion Week is running from 3rd-8th November and tickets are still available here:

A Lookbook Throwback

A little while ago I did a styling project in college. This meant choosing a client, creating questionnaires, doing research, taking the client shopping and of course, making lookbooks. 

Here are two examples of the lookbooks I created in a short space of time that connected well with my client, her personality and style:

Model: Lissy Kelsey

Camera: Nikon D70

Photographer: Myself

Just a short post to show some of what I do at college.

Posey posey

Screwed up face due to the sun, always been one of those people haha!

Photographer: Elle, my sister

Yesterday was a beautiful day and so my family and I decided to go on a walk along the river Thames. Living so close to the Cotswolds is such a great thing!

Sunglasses: Dorothy Perkins - £9.99

Necklace: Thomas Sabo - £45+

Strapless top: H&M - £8.99

Skirt: H&M - £24.99

(I love this red skirt but it creases so badly even when ironed. Just a small warning!)

What have you been up to this weekend?

Birthday Shenanigans

Anyone want a ride in my Porsche?

Following my previous blog post, I just wanted to share a small selection of the photos (there are over 350 altogether!) from my garden party on Saturday. There were garden games, fairy lights, lanterns, happy faces, an amazing birthday cake, happy tears, amazing people, presents and LOTS of food. It was an amazing day and I want to thank everyone for travelling from far away and coming. Thank you for your presence and for the cards and presents I received. I am so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life. I'm going to leave now before it gets soppy (haha).

May Day Fashion Event (follow on post)

All photography by James Sutton and Chris of Chriswrcox photography

So I know May day was just over a month ago now but I've only just had time to blog  about it!

Following on from my last blog post ( http://whatlissloves.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/vintage-garments.html ) I took part in a May Day challenge where us fashion students were split into two teams, given a shop each for the day (vintage charity or charity) and had to put on events to raise the most money for Helen & Douglas House Hospice. We had about 4 weeks to plan and as a team we were given the charity shop. From there we organised for dancers to arrive and perform a 90s dance routine outside the shop to attract customers in. This is where the styling from my last post comes in. We each styled a dancer in the vintage clothes we had been given by Helen & Douglas House. They performed the dances and they were a great success as they attracted many people to the shop who were wondering what this flash mob was all about.
