Quick Update

Since my last post I have been working really hard and focusing on spending time with family as they NEVER See me!

Blame it on the Alcohol!!! No Please Do!

I went out to Alto nightclub in Carnaby St, London & Celebrated Mr Romeo Valentino's Bday it was the best night EVER, I decided i was going to dance on the tables & chairs then try to take over the DJ BOOTH, hmmmmm not that i can Dj anyway! Ended up being sick, could not drive home and love to my brothers Ricky & Theo for not removing my Lamb (Aint they amazing?) shoes COZ if you did I would have slapped your faces as i love those shoes and they cost me a 'arm & a leg + a toe' - A special thanks to SMI for getting me home safely! Got so drunk I 'Grey Goosed my Blackberry, MADNESS I was offline for 4 weeks!!!!

Codebreaker Video

I recently worked on a mini film with Fully Focused Team which is called 'Codebreaker'. The main  idea of the film is to identify & stop postcode wars within the UK. It was put together by the youth project team and its amazing. The young talent emerging within the UK is phenominal. I did the styling for that so big Thanks to John @ www.terratag.com (Go Hard Jumper) for supporting that me and making me great cups of tea! Also a major thanks to Sheldon for lending me his mechanics outfit really appreciated. The dancer troop were also breathtaking love u sam!!!!

Music Video

Last week December 22nd,  I was a  Styling Choreographer for Stuttas new video Feat Ghetts & Rapids. The new single is called 'Im Leavin' Make sure u look out for it!  - It was so much fun making the girls look sexy, The video was  directed by Sheridan from Shoot UK- Nuff love to your Team and especially Harriet Mwah and Hugs.

Christmas Day

Well what can I say this was my worst Christmas EVER but i still had fun, My highlight of the day was Eastender and thanks to all that gave me Christmas Gifts- really appreciated my PS3!

Boxing Day

 I decided  to go to Westfields http://uk.westfield.com/london/ with my cousin and wow all i can say is NONSENSE- The sales were crap and someone got stabbed in ED HARDY! 'People literally killing for a bargain' Go figure. The idea if such amazing shops all under 1 roof should appeal to me as i am a serial shopper BUT i actually hate this place. I prefer Oxford St anyday even Manchester Trafford Centre. Why have Gucci at one end in the village but then you have H&M round the corner???? It just seems unrealistic and a bit cheeky as there making people realise that they may not be able to afford such luxury brands LEAVE GUCCI, BURBERRY etc on NEW BOND ST #Just sayin lol

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Not even vomit keeps me down!

Im back, I have been away as i have been so sick & busy.....FOOD POISONING from the west indian restaurant on Coldharbour lane, Brixton nextdoor to 'The Arches' Yuck, Yuck and FCUKING Yuck again!!!!!!

Also i have been extremly busy doing a few videos over the past 2 weeks.

Video No.1 was Jack Jones, Tuggawar & Gappy Ranks new anthem 'Oh No'- Its a dancehall vibe video set in fake Jamaica. Directed by Teddy from Fully Focused Productions and his amazing team consisting of the amazingly talented producer Miss Georgina Bobb (Follow her on Twitter)
I had to do the styling for this video it was a Bashment Dancer theme so it was very colourful and had to be creative for the dancers to be versaitile and comfy whilst shaking there derier. Nuff love to the dancers as you girls are troopers from 7am-11pm!!! (Video out NOW)

Video No 2 Had to do styling & make up for Ghetts new video 'Skadoosh' its a street anthem and the energy & theme is Skkkkkkaddddoooosh!!!!!! Ghetts goes in as usual, His swagger is 100% yet again!!! If you liked 'Don't Phone me' you will love this one. Cameos from Devlin, Mekston and Jazzy and The beautiful Mz Bratt

Video No 3 Wow all i can say is this guy is the UK's Eminem, None other than Devlin. This single is Called 'Giant', What a amazing artist to work with, he is cool, calm & focused such a lovely guy. Not my first time working with him but he is a breath of fresh air. I was responsible for Styling we gave Devlin a fresh look with clothing supplied by 'Box Fresh, Addidas & Fred Perry' All i can say is Devlin and I had so much fun in Shoreditch prepaing outfits. Even saw a man walking down the street with a bowl cut hairstyle and 'Longjohns' with everything just swinging PMSL

Had the pleasure of doing some more work with Griminal- I had to let him know he is the UK's TI. He is a cool dude too, Took him to Terratag clothing to see what we could make happen. All im saying is look out for the Photo's. After this we headed over to the Flavour Magazine shoot which was being styled by the fabolous Denese Brown. She is a inspiration to me as her style is very very swaggeracious! Big salute to Denese Brown. Make sure you get next months addition to see Griminal looking Suave and Handsome.











Ok thats it for now, got to go prepare for the big event 1st Nov 360 Experience See you there mwah xxx

Boots & Coats- Autumn Season

Boots & Coats

We are in the Autumn season, Yes leaves are falling, its cold and its time to invest in decent Footwear 'Boots' & Winter coats. Its imperative that you purchase such items to see you through the colder seasons.
Boots

Over the knee jeans are essential fashion items this season- So invest please see below for some Boots that get the SK Rae stamp of approval!!!

Steve Madden

Carvela £170








Key Colours: Warm tones- Browns, Golds, Black, White,Dark Reds, Purple & Grey
Ladies & Gentleman try to stick to earth tones this season as they will work with all colour tones. Red heads have fun with your natural hair colour.

Winter Coats

A winter coat is a Key essential item this autumn, Ok there are coats out there with hoods but i think a hood takes away from the 'fun'. What i  mean by this is that , a nice winter coat you can add a playful scarf, Wooly hat or ear muffs to use as accessorize.  A hood is required if you do a lot of foot work BUT if you have access to a vehicle or PT (Public Transport). I can also advise ALL to invest in a UMBRELLA- Not a cheap one as this will blow away, Spend at least £13 for a good Umbrella for it to be QUALITY.

Miss Sixty Puffer coat

Topshop Ruched Funnel neck











Just to emphasis its important that you make such purchases- Check out shops like Zara, River Island, House of Fraser as they have a lovely selection available right now. If you want further advice please feel free to email me if you need a Coat thats more flattering for your shape.


Until next time ,

Stay fashionable beautiful, Mwah xxx
