Digitisation of Events
The 21st century has seen major digital advancements from smart phones to audio activated devices. We've got the Alexa, the Siri and even robots entering our everyday life. I wanted to explore those advancements through the events industry and how we can use that to our benefit. Just how much have the originally physical events been digitised?

Colour, Diversity & Emotion. I realised that this is my third fashion design show post. Each year I walk out of the show feeling completely overwhelmed with emotions. People say that it's just fashion so how can it have any meaning?

As most people would say, we're drawn to visual things. I was always that kid that looked at the pictures in books and watched films because frankly, it was just easier that way.

Today I have a list of some of my favourite fashion books that I either own or have borrowed.

NTU Fashion Design Show 2018
Colour, textures and deconstruction. I finally made it to this year's Fashion Degree show which was sold out last year.

Urban Decay Heat Palette Review & Swatches
The Holy Grail!I've had this beauty for a few months now so I've had a chance to have a good play around with it.

You need a bit of variety in your life though.

NTU Knitwear Show | Arty Farty
What a great show! About a week ago I went to the NTU Knitwear show. Its great to see other students work, and knitwear was always a show that I wanted to see. Plus you get free wine at these types of events and who doesn't love a bit of free wine!
Mulberry Unboxing | Chelsea Boots
My first luxury pair of shoes, one of many I hope. About a month ago I went to the Bicester Village Outlet with Oli and had a browse through all the Gucci, Prada and Vivienne Westwood.
