USH Clothing Photoshoot (Behind The Scenes)

Today I wanted to share with you my Behind The Scenes photography from the USH Clothing Line Photoshoot I did last Saturday. I have been wanting to do this photoshoot for so long and I was meant to do this before Christmas, however this was moved to early January. Apart from my Blog photography I haven't arranged or done a photoshoot for a while. In fact since my last Aspire To Inspire magazine, so I was so excited to get back into this, I am really happy with the outcome of this photoshoot and wanted to say Thank you to those who helped out with the shoot and made it possible for me to do. 

Fashion Favourites // November

Today I am going to share with you some of my Fashion Favourites from over the last couple of months. It has actually been a while since I have done a blog post of this nature and I felt it was about time, as I really love fashion. When I find clothes that I love to wear I thought why not share them with my readers.

I have only recently just come across Maniere De Voir Clothing and was instantly drawn to these 'Zip' style leggings. They come true to size and although they might not look it they are extremely comfortable. I love the fact you can alter and change the zips to suit different outfits or weather situations.

Get involved With LILCDESIGNS | Youth Media Agency

Hey everyone,

Today I want to explain a little bit more about my company 'Lilcdesigns', and how it could help promote you. I also want to tell you that 'Lilcdesigns' has been excepted onto the 'Youth Media Agency' website and featured in their monthly newsletter 'Fanzine'. 
Features are great way to collaborate with other companies to promote yourself, and so I am really pleased to be working with the 'Youth Media Agency'.

http://www.youthmediaagency.org.uk

I am twenty-one and I started my company 'LILCDESIGNS' around a year ago whilst I was still doing my foundation degree in Graphic Design. Once I completed my foundation degree, I felt I had built up enough clients to continue my company full time. I wanted to work for myself, so I decided to work as a freelance designer full time and pursue my dream of owning my own media company. Throughout the last month I have expanded my skills even further, as I constantly try to learn new programs and stay up to date with all the latest social media and technology. I can now provide Web, Media, Design and Motion skills to clients and artists who I work with. 

I collaborate with 'USH' on the design and making of our clothing range USH Clothing. I also have my own projects which I run alongside my business which are my blog and my series 'Aspire To Inspire'. My project 'Aspire To Inspire' started as a one off niche magazine which has now evolved into a Web Series on my YouTube Channel. 'Aspire To Inspire' was set up to share talent and stories that I found inspiring and to inspire our generation to never give up on our dreams. I feel social media is powerful to our generation and the youth of today and therefore I thought the best expansion for this was to do a web series of my own showcasing inspiring young people.

I am all for helping other young people realise their goals and dreams. Collaborating on projects and uniting together is a way to do this. I would like to offer guest posting on my blog to young writers if I feel their content is suitable to my audience. As well as collaborating with clothing designs and product lines. I can also offer young aspiring musicians, designers, filmmakers, dancers, and creatives the opportunity to feature on my web series 'Aspire To Inspire'.

If this is something you would be interested in please get in touch on twitter or email me on 

lilcdesigns@gmail.com and I will be happy to discuss this further!

Secondly, I wanted to say a big thank you to artist Luke Towler, I got to attend his first London headline gig last week. If you have been following my blog you would know that I have been working with Luke this month. Luke's first headline gig he was wearing my USH unity T-shirt you can get yours here! http://ushclothing.co.uk

Spring Fashion | Guest Post

Hey everyone,

So today I bring you another guest post.

If you are going on holiday, or just looking to purchase a new wardrobe for spring/summer then this is for you. 

Five Perfect Work Outfits for Spring/Summer 2014

We may be edging towards spring, slowly but surely, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have jobs to do. It’d be lovely to enjoy some annual leave, to have the liberty of enjoying the weather and some leisure time, but unfortunately for most of us, we have work commitments and responsibilities! Don’t get disheartened though – you can still put a spring in your step by dressing in some new clobber for your days at work, bringing some style, fashion and a fresh outlook into your office. Brighten up your day with some of these great work outfits for the spring and summer season 2014, no matter what work environment you are in.

Dresses

Is there ever a bad time for dresses? Donning a dress is a sure-fire way of looking and feeling great, and, as the weather warms up, there’s no need for chunky cable-knit tights anymore either! Depending on the type of industry you work in, you may need to stick to the tailored dress suit, or if you’re lucky and you have a little more freedom about what you can wear, something a little more casual may suffice. Take a look at George’s range of dresses, regardless of the style you are looking for, and you’ll be sure to find something to suit. If you work in a more casual environment, a simple jersey-style dress would be ideal for a cooler day, while a simple wrap dress or floral prints are bang on trend this season too – perfect for when the sun has its hat on!

Skirts

A simple A-line pencil skirt will always be a timeless garment for the office, and springtime is no different. Brighten up your outfit with a bold and bright blouse and complementing court shoes, to make a little more of a statement. Alternatively, accessorise to the max with some statement beads and a simple tunic top if you would prefer to stay a little more conservative.

Blazers

Perfect to cover your arms on a chillier day, blazers aren’t just for the utmost in formality anymore. A blazer in black, or navy blue, that is fitted to complement your body shape, is an incredibly versatile piece of clothing that would look just as fabulous with a skirt, over a dress, a pair of trousers or even a pair of skinny jeans.

Trousers

The great thing about trousers is they go with everything. Add a pair of high heels for a killer look, or a pair of court shoes for something a little less vertigo-inducing. Team with a tunic top, or blouse, for an effortless work outfit that would be ideal for the office.

Cashmere Jumper

Who are we kidding? Just because it’s springtime doesn’t mean it’s going to be warm! A cashmere sweater is a perfect addition to a work outfit for the chillier days – not only looking smart and stylish, but keeping you warm too!

Top up your working wardrobe this spring and refresh your clothes a little. It may be work and not play, but you can still look and feel fabulous at the same time!

Live life and chase your dreams!

See You Saturday
