AW14/15 - LFW

What will be wearing in six months time?

Some of the predicted trends:

Pattern + texture

Oversized Outerwear

Fuzzy Furry Fabrics

Old Patterns New Shapes

Glitz and Glam

Embellished Jumpers

Mix day and evening wear

and my favourite - Muted tones with colour pop

KTZ have done just this and nailed monochrome

Mark Fast - Colour pop, Glitz 

Jasper Conran - Glitz

PPQ - Monochrome, colour pop, textures

 Sibling - Texture, Colour pop

House of Holland - Textures, Colour Pop

Matthew Williamson - Embellished Jumpers, Glitz, Colour pop, Texture

David Koma 

Looking at these I think I might have found a new favourite designer or two. David Koma and Matthew Williamson have great collections and if the commercial designs bought about from these is half as great next AW will be GREAT!!!

What are you favourite LFW designs?

Hours later...

After many hours sat on the computer I have finally finished updating my website.
With lines being added all the time check back regularly so you never miss a deal!

I have also put together a facebook page for my business. You might think this was quite simple but, as a bit of a perfectionist, trying to make it great took time. I have never been very up with social media and being able to promote myself feels a little big headed BUT after putting together this page I feel great!!
Click here to visit my facebook page or type in the URL facebook.com/CherishEveryHeartbeat.

I still need to work on my logo but first I'll have to find my photoshop discs to edit my images professionally.

Making progress both on my facebook presence and my online store makes me feel so proud but I must try and rain in my head now. Its floating away as I type this because it's so big and full of hot gas. =P

Have a look and leave a message to say what you think!

Next Steps - Promoting my business

All business' need to promote themselves, how else would they win over new customers.
Some go with expensive flashy tv ads you can't forget.
Some have bland billboard images you drive passed and never even saw.
Those really with technology, who understand their customers have interactive ads making you the subject.

Unsurprisingly I can't afford the flashy adverts but I have used pictures of my work and a great song and put together the video below.

This is a video promoting me - the designer, and my brand Cherish Every Heartbeat.

Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it

Website Update

Even after an 8 hour shift and an hour with my friend.
EVEN after a much needed lay in.
I took another look at my website and have almost finished it!!!!

Exciting times!!!!!

When I have a few more items I'll add them which will make the store look a little better and when I have a constant supply of stock I'll upgrade so purchases can be made on the site instead of through ebay. But not may changes to be made now!!!!!

Take a look at My Boutique ! =D

Next Steps

Just made a huge leap forward with my business!

Its still under construction and requires you to use ebay for the time being BUT
I have my own website!!!!!

Short ad sweet!!

Its been forever

It feels like forever since I last posted but I've just been so busy with work, picking up the overtime while I can.

Only a brief post today. I have worked at my local Morrison's supermarket for a year and I have just been promoted to checkout supervisor =D

I still hope to open my own store but this promotion gives me the perfect chance to practice being in charge of workers, how to deal with customers and staff no matter how difficult they are being and to be trained to be a great leader. With people there to support me I can improve without the worry of going wrong as others will be able to help out which is so much better than if I had opened my store soon without this experience where I would have no support from my staff.

I have to work still on how i talk to people and this way I can practice with the safety net of others around me. Trying to run a store without this experience would have been foolish as any mistakes would cost me money but now I've had my training and I have got the job I'm much more confident about being able to handle situations in my own store when my time comes.

I'm so grateful of the opportunity to progress and that they looked passed the fact I hadn't been with them long to see the potential I hold. Now the world is my oyster and things are going well, why stop now =D

Aw13 (miss selfridge)

With a new season and a host of new trends, weather turning miserable and a need for layers now is a great time to go shopping.

Especially for students who can't afford too many luxuries or even the price of turning up the thermostat now is the time for some great buys. 

Take this lovely sweater and great pu trim skirt - both Miss Selfridge.

Seperately these were £37 and £35 for the skirt. Together they came to just £17. 

Sale and bogof, WHAT!!! 

They have some great pieces, this seasons and an outfit for £17?! Don't mind of I do!! 

Seen any great bargains why not comment below and share the wonder.
