It's alright, I'm a geek :

I miss Nottingham. Why? Four very good reasons...
1. My uni course. I do Fashion Communication and Promotion, it's like every girl's dream, trust.
2. My friends. We talk about fashion alllll day long, it's amaze.
3. My flat/personal space. My lil chav bro is driving me insane after breaking the internet twice already (my life depends on it), and I can't wait for house times next year with 9 housemates. Eeee!
and
4... I miss Nottingham Waterstones. Yes, you read it right. My hometown is evidently lame and only supplies the mags that I get delivered to my door, i.e. Vogue and Elle, and the weeklys that I buy anyway. Where are all the glossy foreign Vogues, where on earth is Nylon and I miss Purple!?! I am a massive fashion geek at heart, and I am desperately anticipating the days when I can sit on the carpet on the second to top floor at Waterstones and flick through all the gorgeous mags. I hearts Notts.

Man to Admire :

Dylan Jones, for his impeccable style, impressive track record, and unexpected humour.

As editor in chief at the infamous GQ magazine, I expected a harsh, driven and unforgiving personality to stand before me at the Creative Career's Summit, held today at the University of Derby. Hosting a lecture on climbing the ladder of success in the newspaper and magazine industry, I found Dylan to be a charming, witty man - successful and driven, he was, unapproachable, he was not. As someone who has dreamt of working for a magazine since learning to read and write, it is comforting to know that the editors at large of these fantastical creations are not always the Miranda Priestlys or Daniel Meades that the media often make them out to be. After talking openly about his career and how he has found the industry to be, Mr Jones welcomed questions from students, and even kindly stuck around after for any that were to nervous to ask in front of such a big audience. It is refreshing to see this in someone that has been so successful; so thankyou, Dylan Jones.

Watch This Space :

Kristin Ferrandino. Muse in the making.
Founder, and full time editor of globally popular magazine, Prim. This girl is pure genious. Prim. magazine covers the latest undiscovered talent in the worlds of fashion, art and music, and offers readers a different scope on the ones to watch. That scope just happens to come from an incredibly talented 14 year old New Yorker.
Yes, I repeat : fourteen.
Prim. just celebrated it's first birthday, and with a growing fanbase and a new look for a new year, its set to go from strength to strength. I continue to be overwhelmed at the professionality and content of each bi-monthly issue: a magazine that is definately worth a read. Watch this space, peeps.
