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
