3 weeks and counting!


3 weeks until I see these faces again and all the other South West Inspiration finalists who made it to the Grand UK final which is of course, in 3 weeks!! I nearly have all the pieces of all my outfits ready, more time working out at the gym for that dreaded swimsuit round and of course the beauty that goes with it!  But back in normal life I have been very busy with work, which was why it was great to be able to take some time to find the perfect outfit's for the Vintage Fayre i will be modelling at, in exactly 2 weeks time!!

(Carry On Vintage with Sash of course!)

The first shop I will be modelling for is Carry on Vintage, and my theme was 60s! I think this era suits me to a tee! Lots of bright colours! Some of the dresses weren't made for my ahem curvy parts but we found a perfect outfit, full of colour. I loved this dress though, and this was a close second, if it wasnt for the Gun arms ;) 

(Second outfit, loving the hat!)

Second store to be modelling for is Michie Nichie, which I only had to try one outfit and boom, all sorted! We've gone for the shoulder pad, clinched waist, with a hat for good measure! If it has a hat, its always going to be good!! The outfit was so good, someone in the shop has reserved it!! Lastly we went to Sugar oh Honey Honey who will being doing our Vintage hair and accessories

(Dressing room selfie of course!)

So the only thing I have to do now is wait patiently until I can get up on that stage and model again! I've missed the stage! Then a week after that, I will be strutting my stuff for Swindon! Tickets are on sale if you would like to come watch, support or just see some amazing outfits (and swimwear, remember the swimwear!!) 

Remember the date: 14 March 2015 for a trip back in time, fashion, music, food, free stuff, me!

"I'm not included in the auction..."


 (Quick Sash selfie)

I had my first appearance as Miss Swindon Inspiration this week which was a charity dinner event organised by the Swindon Rotary club in aid of Koolas, a swindon based charity helping disabled children. It was all last minute for me as I rushed home for work, no electric in my house so got ready in the dark (pretty impressed I got my lashes on in the dark, proud girl moment!!) and off to see that the room was beautifully decorated (by Steph Trinci) and amazing puddings being served!!

(With one of the organisers John)

There were some great prizes on offer to bid for, I helped with some and was so tempted to bid on the England Rugby Shirt!! Then guest speaker Jan Molby, former Liverpool FC player spoke and was so funny! As a Liverpool fan it was great to see a living legend (at pepenaltiest least aha), as well as an comedian making the whole room laugh! The amazing event raised over £4000 which is a great amount and something they should be very proud of!!

Thank you for inviting me, and for the lovely gift! I used the Arbonne bath set last night and it smelled amazing, as well as keeping my skin nice and soft (and producing lots of bubbles!!) Now for the Vintage fayre in which I will be having my fitting this Saturday, I can not wait to get glammed up and walk the catwalk again! Less than 3 weeks to go until the finals, outfits are being planned, still need to beautify, at least I have the gym covered!!! For now, this queen needs to sign off to be up early for her pt clients! 
Much love

Paparizzi flashes and becoming a Miss Swindon again

(Official pictures from the FOTG finals- Paul Carroll) 

It's 2015 and this pageant girl is into her 5th pageant year! And boy is it looking to be a busy year! First of all I recieved my photo DVD of the Face of the Globe finals, after waiting for months to see them as well as my feedback. Some areas I need to work on but one comment was about my personality being bubbly but maybe refine it as the judges couldn't truly get who I was. Strange since I am what I am and I never hide it! So that will just have to go against me for future pageants!

(At the Brunel Wedding Fayre with sponsors CMG Photography :)

My first point of call was the Brunel Wedding fayre, where I was meant to model but instead helped out my past sponsor's stand CMG Photography (and happens to be ran by my big sister!). It has been so rewarding to see how far she has come from shooting me back when I was a teenager to having her own successful business in photography, wedding especially!!!
(From a past shoot with CMG Photography)

Then it was onto the new opening of the Cineworld in the newly vamped Regent Circus, which also includes a NANDOS (so excited to finally have this in Swindon), ASK Italian, Gourmet Burger and Prezzo amongst other food outlets. I was honoured to be asked to the Press night as part of my beauty queen duties alongside my other Wiltshire beauty queens Georgia and Nicole.As soon as we walked into the door it was straight to photos, flashes everywhere!! Every press outlet was there, and then the major and the MPs as well as the manager was in for a photo.

(Cineworld Press evening- February 2015)

We were then invited to pose in the hugeee screen with the ribbon, but instead of the normal ribbon, it was film roll!! Speeches were made and then we got to watch the exclusive screening of Jupiter Ascending which had my future husband Channing Tatum in, he just doesn't know it yet! As well as lots of chocolate and popcorn! The film was interesting to say the least and I kinda wish I had gravity defying roller blades like Chad!
(With fellow beauty queens and the mayor)

Personally I think that the new developments and attractions to Regent Circus will be great for Swindon, everything is now centralised with easy access and more choices of where to eat. It's just a shame that more of Swindon nightlife is closing down as well as shops like the Disney store! Very sad moment when I saw that store had closed :(

(Press night!)

After the fun of all the photographers taking pictures and feeling like VIP for the night, it was back to normal life for me as a personal trainer! Until the moment my sash arrived! I can now officially write that I am Miss Swindon Inspirational 2014/15 and will be representing Swindon in the UK finals on the 21st March in Wales! I've got alot to prep for, and have been training because for the first time in 3 years I will be doing the Swimwear round!! After a season in Zante, my body isnt how it used to be but I have the training, it's just putting it in practice! But once I am on that stage it will be a different story!

 (From the South West finals to my new sash Miss Swindon!)

I've received my sash a little too late to make appearances and been truly busy with my new job, but one of my appearances as Miss Swindon Inspirational will be to model in the Brunel Vintage fayre! Now this really excites me as I love the vintage era, could see myself dressing up like this every day! It's free to come and you can see the fashion show as well as stalls, music and entertainment! Its running on the 14th and 15th March so come watch!



Thats all for me! Any charity ideas or events that I could attend, please feel free to message me but thank you for reading my first post as a Miss Swindon again ;)
