Hello lovelies, the only reason why I finally have a chance to write is because I'm in bed resting and I am terribly ill with a high fever and a flu. 

I can happily say that I am happy with the degree I chose to study since it challenges me in the best way and keeps me on my feet during the week.  A few days back we had a speaker from the fashion industry which got me even more inspired. The amazing Avigail Collins who owns the brand together with her husband called Silver Spoon Attire dropped by and told us all about becoming who she is today and working as a stylist for Rihanna, Pixie Lott and my latest musical crush Lorde which is my all means amazing.

Sveiki mielieji, pagrindinė priežastis kodėl gavau proga čia parašyti yra ta, kad siaubingai peršalus guliu lovoj su aukšta temperatūra.

Esu tikrai laiminga pasirinkus studijuoti tą kursą kurį pasirinkau, nes kad ir fiziškai esu visiškai nusilpus ir mano imuninė sistema visiškai griūva, bet aš laiminga dėl galimybių kurias ten gaunu kurios verčia mane judėti pirmyn. Viena iš jų buvo prieš kelias dienas užsukusi Avigail Collins kuri kartu su savo vyrų yra kartu įkūrusi firma Silver Spoon Attire. Ji mum papasakojo savo gyvenimo istorija kaip pradėjo savo firmą kartu su savo vaikinu kuris vėliau ir tapo jos vyras kurdama odines stiukes ir jų lookbookus fotografuodavo tiesiog savo virtuvėjė ar pas save ant stogo. Taip pat pasidalino detalėm kaip jai teko dirbti kaip Rihannos, Pixie Lott ir mano naujo muzikinio susižavėjimo Lorde stiliste. 

 


Also I have had some challenging projects which one of them included making a photo shoot and predicting future trends. I was lucky enough that this year Katirina Knizikeviciute moved to London to my Uni to study fashion design and she agreed to be my model and even pose with her own collection for me. The teachers had to choose two final shots and here they are:

Taipogi man teko susidurti su keletą gan kėblių užduočių kaip pavyzdžiui padaryti fotosesija ir išpranašauti ateities tendencijas. Man labai pasisekė, Kad Katrina Knizikevičiūtė šiemet persikraustė gyventi į Londoną bei studijuoti mano universitete drabužių dizainą. Kadangi ji sutiko pabūti mano modelių bei padėjo man su viskuo ir atsinešė savo baroku alsuojančia kolekciją. Dėstytojai turėjo išrinkti dvi galutines nuotraukas ir jie pasirinko šias:



Here are some other shots from the shoot which ar not so perfectly redone:

Čia keletas nuotrukų iš fotosesijos kurios man taipogi labai patiko, bet jos nėra taip tobulai apdirbtos kaip galutinės nuotraukos:





I hope you have a great December, keep warm/Tikiuosi apturėsit puikų Gruodžio mėnesį bei nesirgsit kaip aš.


Lots of love Amanda xx

The beauty of ignorance

Every one of us has weaknesses. My one is that I choose to ignore what's negative, I try to push it all down inside until it is repressed by any other feeling. I ignore what's in front of me and I choose to not talk about it and get mad if anyone else brings it up. Or I pretend that it doesn't affect me but deep inside I'm dying. Then I find myself one night in bed trying to fall asleep but I catch myself struggling  because all the bad thoughts, all the bad memories come rushing back in and it becomes too overwhelming and impossible to handle.  I'm not an angry person but I can get pretty offensive at times. It always surprises me how my shield goes up like that. For example my friend tries to talk to me about studying and taking my IELTS exam and what could happen if I don't pass what I'm gonna do then, but I just get angry and tell her to shut up because I don't want the negative energy, but honestly I don't want the truth I don't want to think about the future and I just want to enjoy the moment in life as it is. The same thing goes for my mother, she tries to tell me oh you gained weight you worked so hard to loose all that weight and now you're almost as you were before, but deep inside I know all of that I just get frustrated towards her and I think she isn't supporting me the way I am but the thing is she just wants what's the best for me, she knows how I feel going shopping she knows I will end up crying in a clothing booth, but at that moment you don't realize that some people want what's better for you. You realize that someone thinks that you're fat or thinks that you are not smart enough to do something. It's not that it's the fact that you are too ignorant and you rather live in a pink world with your pink shades on and think that everything is wonderful and magical and all the things that bother you at night will not do that during the day. I know for me I think it's impossible to change because I lived all my life like that. But it's never too late to rethink your priorities to make yourself and others around you proud. You can put that unhealthy food and stop watching those pointless tv shows and go for a jog you can spend a day or two studying you can spend your life making plans ahead or you can stay in your perfect bubble and think that everything is gonna work out by itself. Don't just go with the flow swim against the wave and experience the life that you actually deserve not the life you think is good enough for your depressed little self. But don't think that I'm saying to not be positive, positivity will get you through the journey that lies ahead.



Lots of love A

Paris diaries

Hello lovelies.I am back after a while and after my holiday from work. I had an awful first day back to work today, but thinking what to write about my trip to Paris fixed my mood. It was so good in there I can't even put into words. I fell in love with the city, the food, the people and everything in there. I spent there only four days and spend a lot of money in there, but I don't regret anything. I was staying at my friends boyfriends house with her. And he lived only an hour away from the center so we used the train and the subway often and believe me the only thing that I didn't like was the subway, it's horrible, London subway compared to it is heaven.

So I flew to Paris very early only with an hour of sleep in bed and some sleep on the plane. I arrived very early and we spend most of the day sightseeing. I visited most of the famous places though I had only a few hours of sleep but I was running on excitement the whole time. We started of with the beautiful Eifel tower and waited in the big que in the cold to get to the top but it was all worth it because the view and the experience is just indescribable. Then we walked around and warmed up with some coffee and then we took a walk in the Chanse de Lise until the Arc de Triumph. Then followed Moulan Rouge and Louvre. And the fun wasn't over when we got home because then my friends boyfriend took us to a club with his friends.



After the club we had just a few hours of sleep and went to Disneyland. It was so so good that I went out from every ride shaking and in shock, because we did only the scariest rides, but luckily we got amazing weather and the sun was shining all day long. 



The next day me and my friend went to see the beautiful Notre Dame in the amazing sunny weather. Then we had lunch in a cafe near and met some guys on the way who walked with us to the beautiful Grand Palace where all the fashion shows took place. Even though it was Paris Fashion week at that time there was no shows at that time. I got sad that the Chanel show was held the next day there but the place itself was really beautiful so at least i didn't feel empty handed. After that my friend took me to Opera which is probably the most luxurious clothing store I have ever been to. It's so so beautiful inside that it took my breath away.



The last day we wanted to go somewhere but we were just too tired so we stayed in bought a lot of food and packed to go home. 

 

So that's all from my trip to Paris, let me know what you think!

Je t'aime Amanda xx
