I went off blogging

Wow it's been about a year since I last posted, I didn't mean to abandon blogging entirely but I just went off it. 

There are so many people out there these days trying to make a blog/lifestyle I think it just put me off... It's so hard to keep up with what everyone is doing. 

I have stood back and realised that it doesn't matter what other people are doing... I'm doing a completely different thing. 

So on this blog it is now going to be following what i'm doing, what I like and how my brand is progressing. 

I have am a lot more into outfit posts (finally) and I have quite enjoyed doing them! Olwen has some amazing pieces right now and I have taken the time to use my own styling tips to bring you some 'Sports Luxe' ideas that hopefully you can take away and try! 

I am also on a mission to lose about a stone before the summer... who's with me? (Constant life struggle)

Preparation

So next Monday I am excited to announce, will be the first of many shoots to come over the next few months. I am happy to be connecting with new faces in the industry all the time, especially the continued collaboration with vintage clothing brand, Re-loved.

Over the past year I have worked closely with Rachel Hannah to photograph events and look-books, and now, as she is taking the next steps with the company, we will be working on the next set of Autumn/Winter 2014 photographs for her soon to be launched website.

I am happy to share with you all a few from the start of the year, that didn't appear in the black and white edit from a previous post.

Re Loved updates can be found here.

More to come soon!

From St Xavier

As many of the people who know me know, I rarely accessorise enough.
I am just so incredibly picky when it comes to accessories and jewellery that I never end up buying anything.
Quality is something I always look for and generally, on the high street, I don't find anything that I feel is worth it's price... Plus a lot of the items just look the same.
I did, however, fall in love with a brand while at PURE at the beginning of August.
It is exactly the type of jewellery I love.
So Minimal, yet each piece is a statement that can be worn at any time.
The brand was FROM ST XAVIER. An Australian brand, created in Sydney.
As well as using sterling silver and plated brass, they use precious stones which gives their pieces the edge over anything similar seen on the high street.
Also for the quality you receive from this brand, the prices are perfect for anyone wanting to spend or anyone on a budget.

Here are some of the images from their most recent Lookbook -

I would just love to buy every piece, however here is a wish list of the pieces I lust after the most!

OLVOR STUDIOS Design Preview

Shhhh!

This is a sneak preview just for followers.

This is a crop i've been working on as part of a co-ordinated set that will be launched at the end of the month. This is one of the lookbook looks that will be photographed at the end of July and be available for purchase from the beginning of August. 

Starting Over

Hello! 

My blog is having a major re-vamp. I have decided to stop posting generically like I use to because I was posting content that didn't mean that much to me.

However...

I am now on a journey. I am a fashion design graduate documenting life as I start up my design company and photography studios. This could be something that doesn't work out but I will share every experience with you, my amazing followers. 

Over the next couple of weeks I have a lot of work to do. I am half way through my photography course and am also in the process of creating three lookbook looks ready to shoot at the end of the month with some amazing models. 

I will be launching OLVOR STUDIOS ready for Autumn/Winter 14 with a capsule collection and am looking to fully launch the brand in Spring/Summer 15. This is a very exciting time for us as a brand and will be attending events such as PURE to prepare myself for the 2015 trends.

Photography is something I love and will be shooting for the brand in the early stages, which is better for you as all images will be posted alongside design work on here as part of my journey.

I hope your having an amazing summer so far!
