The Rut. The Rest. THE CHAT!

By the title you may be thinking what on earth is this blogger going on about. Well please allow me to explain. My new post is a post about Inspiration!

Fashion is an inspiring subject, one photograph of the up and coming designs every 6 months form the trends and inspire, bloggers, designers, young people, old people to talk, write, tweet and create something out of one simple photograph. 


This is exactly the attitude my dad gave me on a trip home from Norfolk. Recently I have been stuck in a rut. It happens to everyone I know I'm not any different to anyone else but it took a trip home and being very poorly to make me realise that I'm living in a city where I get inspired every day. Whether I'm sitting on the tube reading the Metro or I'm comp shopping in Oxford Street. I see or hear something which makes me think wow! everyday.



I would love you all to get involved and let me and everyone else know who are your inspirations? Maybe it's a celebrity, your mum, your brother? It could be anyone maybe even more than one!!


Here are mine. 


I ALWAYS get inspired by my mum and dad they walk into a room and talk to ANYONE and I mean ANYONE! They are the kindest people I know. Of course some say I have to say that but I know that's not the case. They believe in me and my brothers and even now my boyfriend because they want whats best for us and see the opportunities we have on offer. I look at them and get inspired to one day become a parent like them. I'm not saying I agree with everything they say and do, we often have our disagreements but when I have children I will teach them as they do me, to believe in myself and in my dads case make me '' find my balls''! Thanks mum and dad for inspiring me to create this post AND believing in us to become bigger and better with bigger balls!


Whilst at The Fashion Retail Academy we had many inspiring talks from different members of the fashion industry. Sir Phillip Green (Arcadia Businessman), Alexandra Shulman (British Vogue Editor) and Karren Brady (Business Woman). At the moment Karren is gracing our screens in Junior Apprentice. However she was the MD of  Birmingham City football club and is now my role model! She spoke to us regarding motivation it was nearing the end of the course and she was there to motivate and inpire us to finish and succeed. I was a meer face in a sea of people however I took from that talk so much that Karren herself doesn't know although I hope she appreciates it. She rocked up with her GORGEOUS Chanel bag and nervously took to the microphone. She may have been nervous to begin with but she knew how to talk to a crowd. She spoke of how women shouldn't be out done by men (not that I'm some feminist) but she also spoke of her experiences. From the man at the counter of the football who didn't believe she was MD of the club and wouldn't allow her to sit in the private box to the press saying she was too young to have such a big role. She made me think that no matter who tells you, you can't do something they are wrong because you can and if it doesn't work the first time try again! Never give up trying just because it doesn't work first attempt. Many business minded people head out with a big plan and it doesn't work there is no shame in giving up but Karren taught me to try 100% before you decide it's time to give up. 

 

 

 

Thank you Karren. (Google Image)

Along the way you will meet some inpiring people, this is only 2, my list is endless and would love to write a little something about everyone. Don't take people for granted learn from their experience. Someone once told me the only way to learn is to listen, listen to the good listen to the bad and take something out of each bit information.


Thanks dad! Your chat worked!
