This week i have recieved a lot of freebies from some amazing international designers from all over the world. With today being one of my only days off from hetic lifestyle i headed down into the town for quick lunch and to grab a few snap shots for you guys. If you haven’t noticed this isn’t my usual attire as i love looking classy but this look today was 100% Chanel and very comfortable.

Over the past few days i have been feeling like change is needed as i feel like i am living my life day in and day out the same. Even though you may just think its an outfit, its still a change from what im used too. I feel like im letting go a litte. I also decided to change my instagram name to @Amederaimz and embracing my little of french that i have left remaining in my blood. Thanks to everyone that has been sending me these clothes and look out on my Instagram over the next few weeks. If you a are a designer don’t be scared to drop me a message! Have a lovely evening

Even though the day may of only just started my day started at the crack of dawn with me heading down into the big city for casting after castings! I just love the city and wish to live here 24/7! Coffee & a lot of running around today has truly taken a toll on my body! With me needing toilet breaks every 2 minuets!
 Hope you guys have a fab day!

Dressing for this weather will be the death of me. If you are anything like me you always make bad judgement of the weather. Everyday when i wake up and have my little boogie in the shower, i daze out of the window and that little bit of sun can be deceiving. So today i decided to keep things basic and put on as little layers as possible & i warn you now! as soon as the sun vanished ( As soon as i stepped outside) i did get stiff nips! I did intend to a full outfit post but i spilt milk down my black pants…. And as you can imagine.. IT WAS NOT CHANEL!

So we made our way down town, walking fast
Faces pass as we was home bound  We decided to get a look blog post as we both have come to the conclusion we miss shooting them! It was a struggle as the Museum just happened to be full of school kids & people so avoiding them and not trying to look like vain losers was the hardest task! I swear to go the blogging lifestyle is so hard but hilarious! as we literally get changed in public. As you can tell the kid in the background was more concerned about what we was doing then all the animals & toys scattered around the room

So finally iv got around to uploading the tear sheets from the magazine which was released last month. With the days & weeks flying by i keep finding myself in this dark place wishing we had more time in a day…. But realistically it’s never going to happen.

This shoot was taken late last year & was super enjoyable to shoot as we had an amazing team on board and the styling was fabulous! I loved all the garments and wanted to steal them. Im not usually a cap kinda guy but i actually really loved the cap as it didn’t flatten my curls.

Tomorrow i have the biggest shoot of my life for a campaign over in Newyork City which will be used on billboards! Can not describe how super excited i am! Just thought i’d share a quick post before i head out for a posh tea with my beautiful friends!

Mucho love

Hey guys! This week i got the chance to work with a great team again from The Boutique Salon And Spa. It was for the L’Oréal Colour trophy North West Finals! & i am not even going to lie but it was a great experience! We didn’t win but we came 7th out of the whole of the North west which is a massive achievement.

On the day i got to meet some amazing people from models to hairstylists ect. It was a very long and tiring day and hair shows are harder then i expected. My hair was fabulous! i had it straight which is a complete different look for me as i always have it curly! But i actually loved it! & wish i could straighten it myself all the time.

What do you think of the straight hair?

Mucho love

So it’s officially been 1 week since my birthday, and the partying madness has stopped. After dragging out my birthday for 2 weekends in a row for partying my body is finally in shock and ready to shut down. I am writing this post after waking from a 13 hour sleep! Oops.

I’d like to thank everyone for all the beautiful presents and lovely messages that i received on APRIL FOOLS day! unlucky for me!

I finally got to introduce Nada Adelle & Zahra jennings to my family! which was a pleasure & needed to happen soon! I also got to show them to the real insight to my life of partying & what my other half of friends are which made me feel so happy! I love every single person that showed for my birthday as it shows the love is strong haha!

Finally i’m back to the blogging world with a heap of stuff to post. After a few weeks of my laptop blowing up on me, my iphone smashing & someone being a total jerk and hacking my blog is back up and alive.

After a few month the magazine which my 6 page editorial was published in finally arrived at my door. I got a text of my mom saying ” Its arrived” but i was out on set shooting! throughout all the shoot i just couldn’t wait to get home and see the images in the magazine. So i thought i’d share a few snap shots of the magazine before uploading the full post

Hey guys! I’m back after a long time of not blogging with more crazy crazy hair! Just doing my usual thing of work mode, shooting and a lot of coffee! This week has been one big hectic week and i can not wait until next tuesday arrives. I shall star fish my bed all day and night.

On monday i got the pleasure to shoot with an amazing team, i shot with the photographer a few months back and thought why not make so more magic. When he asked me i didn’t realise how crazy the hairstyling actually was. As i arrived upon set i was introduced to the fabulous hairstylist and got told about what i was about to have implanted on my head. I literally felt like something from the district from the 2012 film Hunger Games. After that the stylist arrives showed me the clothes which i needed to fight over my weave and then straight into make-up to make magic.

As you can see the team was a bundle of joy and craziness so i instantly clicked with them and enjoyed my day. After a early call time i headed back home and soaked my hair as its not used to holding such huge and crazy styles

Hope y’all are having a great week
