UPDATE: #TheSunNewspaper

Hola Stylistas!

Update on my story in 'The Sun Newspaper' according to their sources, I am (unless evidence suggests wrong) the youngest ever contributor to ever have been featured in the newspaper. Which is awesome! I just wanted to post the 'Digital' copy of the column- in case anyone wants to have a read. Apologies for the delay, if you are a Sun + member you can read the article here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/suncolumnists/5791110/Ugly-side-to-glam-lifestyle-of-top-models.html 

Catch up on what I thought of the edit here- http://arrayostyle.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/the-sun-newspaper.html 

Hasta la Vista Stylistas, xo 

#MyCosmoStyle What would you wear in #VEGAS?

#MyCosmoStyle

So recently whilst chilling on holiday (well in England and working...), I got into the new Kim Kardashian iPhone app 'Hollywood' and reached 70 million fans on there (says a lot about how addictive the game is...it's like grown up Stardoll). I'm not normally a Kim K fan and posting her name on here isn't exactly dream worthy; it links with my next point. Holiday locations. It only costs $20 to fly to Las Vegas on the app! $60 to fly to London! That got me thinking... Vegas. Flashy lights, cocktails in a plethora of colours and gambling. Vegas may not be a fashion capital [yet] but it sure sounds like an inspiration capital. Take a look at these images of the beautiful 'Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas'.

But, before you've hit the slot machine jackpot. What would you wear in Vegas?

Katy Perry's donned her 'Vegas' get up before at an event in... VEGAS! But, I'm not as daring as Katy's (stylist) style so I thought I'd try on my own Vegas get-up and gamble chic.

The Sun Newspaper

The Sun

Hi all!
As you can see I have not posted in a mega, long time. Apologies. I know it is the summer holidays too and you probably thought 'well, no excuses not to be posting!'. But I'm really glad to tell you what I have been working on and towards for the last few weeks.

Today, I have been published in The Sun newspaper as part of their 'Column Idol' competition- raising the problems my passion entails and showing this to a wider audience, probably unaware of the issues raised. Yes it t'was about the modelling industry and is only a small sample of what's to be produced if I win the competition. 


The quotes and case studies used are real, honest accounts of their traumas and I cannot expose the identity of one- but I can assure you that she's a real, signed model with credibility. Credibility is one of the concerns I had when applying for the competition; I'm the youngest in the contest and thought a reader would simply presume 'oh she's just a schoolgirl, how do we not know she's just making it up' so I actively searched for official quotes and figures to use in the article - instead of being generalised, which is sometimes how the industry is expressed in other media work. Rarely going into details, just scraping the surface of the issue. Additionally, when culminating the article I did want to drop the name Kendall Jenner because she really personifies the juxtaposition of the point I was raising- and I kind of wanted to educate her fans a bit too. Well, in theory I wanted to educate everyone who didn't already know of this issue, but the Jenner's infuriate me slightly as they're extremely priviledged, but they seem to slate it on their reality show... forgetting their position and status. Yes, they are the inadequate ones. At least say Georgia May Jagger doesn't complain about her modelling career helpers. 

It will be on The Sun's website soon, unsure when but I will update this post once I know. Also, if you're on twitter check out the #ColumnIdol hashtag for more inspirational articles. Or just buy The Sun!

Would like to say a huge thank you to The Media Trust including Emma who is very good at what she does!, The Sun and my mentor Lynne Mckenna at Fabulous magazine. Although I've never actually met Lynne, we emailed constantly and she helped build my end result. And a quick thank you to my awesome make-up artist and photographer for the photos, they drove across the country to see me! 

Hello all!

Apologies for the lack of updates [gosh this is becoming more common than I expected] but I've been undertaking various projects to occupy myself this summer and well... they're time consuming projects.

I understand the couture shows are taking place [slightly fangirling over the Elie Saab show yesterday] and will be tweeting my 'highlights' from my @ArrayOStyle Twitter and Instagram account!

Ciao for now :)

Orange is the new black - really? REALLY. #OIStNB

Hallelujah, a post! Before I start, just like to say a big THANK YOU to our lovely guest bloggers who blogged for #ABlogADayInMay 2014. Including Taylor of Somewhere over the rainbow, Blusher and Bronze, Hey Iris, Christina of This Fashion Girl, Evie Stacey of Distaceful and finally Blushing Beauty. I haven't really had time to communicate with you girls properly, so thank you for your lovely posts and passion seeping through them. Will be adding you all to my blog reading list :)

Orange is the new black - really? REALLY! 

So after completing my exams last weekend I took a shopping trip, in person. I know, I'm not one for actually moving out of my bed at 6am in the morning to traipse around shops, knowing they won't have my size/style/budget. Of which, they had neither. Dang it. Anywho, when at lunch- I headed for twitter and the whole world was talking about this show called 'Orange is the new black'. Then, galivanted to Miss Selfridge and they were advertising the show too in the changing rooms. Hmm, fishy I thought. Kinda reminded me of the 'Breaking Bad' and 'Game of Throne' crazes that started not so long ago.

When I thought of the colour orange [in fashion terms] it made me think of Legally Blonde. 

Orange isn't a terrible colour, but it just reminds us all of that dreaded fake tan. 

But in fashion terms, orange can look very 70s and funky fresh. Oh god I said funky fresh- ergh. 

So the main point of today's post was to convince you that orange is a nice colour, regardless of the TV show's influence. Will the TV show help orange make a comeback? It's possible. Fashion is influenced by the media a lot. Whether its the people, places or past - fashion isn't new, just recycled.

Here's the Polyvore post. The outfit is for a budget and is a slight mix-match. But hey ho, what do you think? Is orange the new black?
