Dr Martens #STANDFORSOMETHINGNCL

POSSIBLY THE BEST UNI MODULE EVER

I come to the end of my 2nd year and a huge sign of relief passes the group as we're not quite sure how we did it this semester. 

As part of the current #STANDFORSOMETHING Dr Martens PR campaign, this module (my favourite yet!) commissioned the development of our own EPR strategy and fashion film for the brand- to create a unique strategy, whilst maintaining DMs much loved brand aesthetics and attitudes.

I gladly called upon the loyal, creative, fashion-conscious students of Newcastle-upon-Tyne to celebrate the 1st birthday of its primary store. QR codes are hidden around the city, and when scanned, a sparkling array of Dr Martens prizes can be won. Here, my 3 minute fashion film introduces some of Newcastle's preppy residents and some key competition locations!

Native Rose

I was so chuffed to receive these wonderful shorts from my boyfriend for my birthday yesterday. One half of the bright silky co-ord from Native Rose.

Here I'm wearing them with a fuschia River Island jumper and an Accessorize necklace:

Scrunchies for Sale!

Handmade scrunchies in lovely spring patterns! Sold about 50 yesterday to raise money for the Fash Comm graduation publication. They are so easy to make and the fundraising group had a lovely girly day chatting and sewing. I couldn't resist the lilac gingham one and the pink hearts one!

My Lib

Managed to bag this Liberty London silk scarf for just over £10 on eBay after an obsessive hunt a couple of weeks ago. Wanted a floral or paisley number but this one stood out beautifully!

90s Square Neck

Slightly obsessed with this 90s shape from Miss Selfridge at the moment, especially the striped dress. Below I'm wearing the black crop top and have found it a chore to wear something different that is as comfortable and flattering. I'm extremely tempted to get all the other colours for summer, and for £8 each, you can't really go wrong!

Stripe Mini Dress - £22

Black Mini Dress - £18

Mint Crop Top - £8

White Crop Top - £8

Nude Crop Top - £8

Olive & Bean Newcastle

Not a fashion post, but food is just as good, isn't it?

 Birthday brunch for my favourite Geordie Luci at Newcastle's wonderful Olive & Bean, the 'coffee shop, bespoke sandwich bar and delicatessen all rolled into one!' The menu includes brunch favourites - all the eggs, wholesome breads and an array of fresh fruit and breakfast meats. Cute Tiptree jams and sauces with Golden Syrup cans decorate the table, adding a charming touch. The girls were even more taken by the incredibly alluring sweet offerings on the treat counter. I went for the eggy bread with summer berries and maple syrup (and a cup of tea of course)

Essex's Tiptree orange marmalade, tomato ketchup and strawberry jam

 

Oreo tiffin, peanut butter, almond and coconut tiffin, ultimate rocky road with whole marshmallows...the list goes on

Amazing range of fresh juices, tea and coffee
