It's something we all have within ourselves or something we all desire to obtain for something that peaks our interest. 

Every individual has their own, it may be the same as someone else's, but your thought processes, creativity and way of expressing your passion will always have your own unique touch to it. 

If I was to view this from a personal narrative, then I've always been a "girly-girl" who loves everything to do with fashion and beauty, but alongside this I've always had a creative spark. This meant, combining the two, I could express my likes and inspire people through publishing a blog and YouTube videos that allow me to add some creativity and help others with my interest. 

It also allows me to do something with my passion and really play around with all things fashion and beauty, which keeps me busy with everything I love and helps express who I like to identify as. 

No matter what happens to be your passion, that you choose to be open with and express, you have to be prepared that not everyone will hold your perspective. This will always result in some sort of criticism, but its up to you to simply force yourself to ignore it and focus on why YOU enjoy it.

At the end of the day, you're doing it for yourself, because its your passion and not theirs, therefore you cannot expect everyone to understand your interest...but thats not your problem. 

One of the best pieces of advice I could give is to always remember why you started and where you started from. This will help you see the positive and keep you going by putting everything into perspective once again.

Whatever you want to pursue you have, by all means, the right to do so. If you're being true to yourself and truly do enjoy what you do, you'll never complain or wish to be in someone else's position in life. This even applies for people who have similar interests to you, its not a race and every one goes at their own pace because despite being similar passions, it is still unique to you.

I mean, I actually created my blog and YouTube account years ago, but only this year do I feel like I've been of the right mindset to start it properly and be consistent. This allows me to really set both of them in stone, which I feel I never did due to inconsistency, now I feel like I'm old enough to take it all seriously and do a lot more with both of them.

So with that being said... Here's to fresh starts and giving your all into what you enjoy.

Growing up in London my entire life consisted of many days to Central London, however my trip to London with my university, from Nottingham, was a lot more goal focused as it was a research trip.


Our project briefs consisted of a varied amount of trends that were allocated per group. We had to keep our eyes open for the trend "Stretched Shoulders". Immediately after hearing our trend, I automatically thought of it being more a Spring/Summer trend. However from knits to evening dresses we came across a variety, still along the lines of a limited collection, but the trend itself is seen to be trans-seasonal through the change in materials and textures used. 

Without a doubt, stores like Selfridges and Liberty were at the top of our list to visit. Upon entering it was not only our trend we were looking out for, but anything that took our interest. It is definitely becoming colder and that means winter is very much on its way/here, with this comes the visual aesthetics shops like Selfridges roll out for the season, capturing aspects of Christmas ( and nothing like giant glittery baubles hold the festive spirit).




We also thought it would be a a great idea to capture where all things VOGUE, takes place here in London. Therefore it was only right to take a little turn towards Hanover Square, where the 'Vogue House' lies. Also part of this is a little magazine archive store by Condé Nast (the publishing company that own Vogue). It was amazing to see the variety of magazine covers from years previous to now, it really helped to see the evolution of magazines and fashion itself, within the media.

Hey Everyone,

As September has come to a close and we are already half way through October, I thought this was the perfect time to sit down and update you on where life stands as of now. 

I've just started University in Nottingham (NTU) where I've begun to study Fashion Communication and Promotion. This particular subject area has always been of interest to me and I was always certain, from a young age, that my creativity and love for fashion definitely was a pathway I would like to pursue on at University. 

Nottingham itself is a very creative city which consists of vintage shops to theatres to boutiques to museums and galleries, all of which are a great source of inspiration. Therefore it academically held a great advantage to study Fashion in a City fuelled with varied inspiration outlets. It also holds a great social atmosphere, which you definitely need at university to enjoy your time there and be happy and comfortable with your atmosphere. 

Freshers was definitely a bunch of crazy nights full of bonding with your fellow peers within your accommodation and really beginning to feel at home. After that came societies and without a doubt, one that I joined was The Fashion Society. All the events/societies and clubs you interact with after freshers is definitely where you begin to branch out from your accommodation friends and find those who love the same things as you! Before you know it you have various circles of friendship groups, all that have a different impact on your life at university. 

However, after all the 'no sleep' days (which, by the way, feel like they are still never ending) came waking up for 9am's ...

They do say that the best thing to do in life is what you enjoy and that is exactly what I've chosen to do. I feel as if my project briefs and research are all things I would consider to carry out in my free time; everything I love to do, day to day, is what I'm being set to do within my course. Therefore, it does truly speak for itself, that this course was the best decision I could've decided upon.

Now, university life itself is very different from a standard day in school/college. It feels almost like lectures and seminars are rather full of conversations with people who share the same passions, rather than just being told a bunch of "information", it really does feel like talking to a bunch of friends. 

The ease of settling in due to this really does fuel you up on excitement for the next 3 years of your life, as they truly will be full of experiences and opportunities I will love. 

From travelling to sharing my creativity with you guys, I will definitely keep you updated and more of an insight into the content of my course on further blogposts to come! 

Love Always,

Misha xo
