TO FOLLOW OR NOT TO. YOU SHOULD FOLLOW!

Ok so as part of cleaning up my act, I am sharing with you all the ways in which you can follow, keep in contact, keep up to date and stalk where and when and what

i am doing on my own and for my label.

So as a combined effort i now have

- FACEBOOK (JUST ELLEQUE)

- BLOGSPOT (MINE/ ELLEQUE)

- TUMBLR ELLEQUE/ ENDLESSLOVE + a wedding tumblr just because it so pretty.)

- INSTAGRAM (MINE/ ELLEQUE) @chellecarter

- PINTEREST (MINE/ ELLEQUE)

-TWITTER (MINE/ ELLEQUE)

- WEHEARTIT (MINE)

Feel free to follow them, the more the better, i love sharing with people what is happening in my life, plus you may find yourself fall in love with these social medias just like i have.

Here is some sweet words of wisdom to leave with you for the weekend.

Ok, so since finishing fashion school i feel like i have been a bum and done nothing with my life, which is so annoying, as like many other girls, i had dreams of becoming big and travelling etc, which i believe will still come true one day but not as sudden as i thought, and to be honest i wasn't ready and still don't think i am.

But after many failed attempts at applying for jobs and getting no feedback, what better way to go back and clean up my act on my blog, facebook, tumblr, insta, twitter, oh gosh there is so many. anyway i am going to make a few changes over the next few months.

1. Try and get my self a job within the fashion industry, or at least get an internship and get my foot in the door.

2. Save as much money as humanly possible so i can go visit one of my besties who is leaving on saturday to go start a 3 month internship with DVF ( Diane von Furstenberg)

3. Focus on stepping out of my comfort zone and putting myself back into the human world or socialising

(its harder then you think after 3 yrs of not having any contact really )

4. And focus on designing and trying to produce a small collection for spring summer 2013.

The first change being, i will be working with Shara from skinny chilli, she is a good friend that i made while studying fashion, however she left to focus on modelling and settign up her own online ebay store.

i will be taking photos of this amazing girl for her blog, and i will be sharing and linkng each of her posts via my blog.

Now i don't even know how many people read this, i know i have a few followers and that i always have an abundance of page views yet if you do read this i would love any input on suggestions you ma have for me.

Ok so here is a little sneak peak of one of the many images to come from the shoots done with shara.

Enjoy

B E S K A

Let me introduce you all to BESKA, one of the most exquisite made to measure evening and bridal labels that i have ever come across.

The pretty face who is behind this magical label is Rebecca Childs. Rebecca is a young talented designer who has dreamt big and made her dream come true of having her own bridal label and is now the owner of her own bridal botique.

She recently opened shop down in Bowral in the southern highlands, it's definitely worth the trip down there even if your not getting married, but to just have a sticky beak and stroll the streets.

Now im not getting married, hahaha i don't even have a boyfriend, so i am very far off, however we came to know each other through a mutual friend and upon hearing that she was opening up a store, and being slightly obsessed with anything to do with weddings at the moment, i jumped at the chance to do an internship along side her.

So for the past 2 months i have been travelling down to Bowral and helping dream up and create these wonderful masterpieces, and the result is this whimsical, dreamy, jaw dropping perfect bridal photo shoot.

Ok ok ill stop babbling, i just wanted to give you all a little insight into this label which i hold so close to my heart, plus a little sneak peak into the shoot.

all the info can be found below the photos, go find her facebook and like it and maybe convince your beau into getting hitched so you can buy one of these stunning gowns.
