• Onward and upwards to 2015!

    22nd December 2014 Florence Grace

    2015 is fast approaching, and I know that I am not the only one to have marveled at how quickly this year has gone! Months seem to have been as brief as minutes and events such as birthdays, starting at new schools and universities, holidays and now Christmas all seem to have blown past in a tornado of celebration and excitement. The fact Christmas is nearly over when yesterday seems like December the 1st is scary enough. I am not…

  • Dapper Laughs- or Dapper the Arse?

    9th November 2014 Florence Grace

    “Just show her your penis. If she cries, she’s just playing hard to get” Shocked? How about this: “Girls have periods. I call that ‘blow job week’. What you need to do is get four girlfriends- then it’s four weeks of blowies”. I’m sure your jaw has dropped- where have these horrific statements come from? Let me tell you. They have come from “comedian”, “TV personality” and “model”, Dapper Laughs. Dapper Laughs is an alter ego for Clapham man Daniel…

  • Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. London: A Review.

    3rd November 2014 Florence Grace

    Saturday the 1st of November was my 19th birthday! Being an obsessive fan of Tom Hanks, and with my all time favourite movie being ‘Forrest Gump’, I was more than thrilled when I found out there was a Forrest Gump themed restaurant opening in London exactly one month prior to my birthday. Of course, I begged my boyfriend to take me there as a birthday treat, and thankfully he said yes! I had a truly wonderful time, and thought I…

  • Advertising, the invasion of privacy and the power of the mobile.

    29th October 2014 Florence Grace

    Advertising is an age old trick. There are records of the Egyptians using papyrus to make wall posters, commercial messages have been found in the remains of Pompeii and Ancient Arabia. ‘Lost and Found’ posters were used in the time of the Ancient Greeks and the Romans. In short, advertising has been around forever, and as an industry that grows larger and larger everyday, is not going to be disappearing any time soon. In 2010, it was estimated that a…

  • Is imitation the highest form of flattery? Is imitation the highest form of flattery?

    27th October 2014 Florence Grace

    Growing up we are always told to be ourselves. Be original, be different, stand out from the rest. Most of us can pride ourselves on doing just that. Others are not so lucky. Too large of a portion of people have become what society likes to define as “sheep”. And it doesn’t stop at people looking up to celebrities, or younger people looking up to older people that they seem to idolize. No, it seems to be as contagious as…

  • Discovering media with Carat!

    13th October 2014 Florence Grace

    On Monday the 13th October I woke up at 4:45. That’s right. The ungodly hour of 4:45. Why? To get the train into London to spend the day at Carat Media to participate in a ‘Discover Media’ day. The title of the event was a little vague, and so I was unsure as to what I should expect- but I really was in for a treat! The day started with a group of us all being introduced to begin with-…

  • Feminism- more than just a fashion fad.

    7th October 2014 Florence Grace

    I’m sure all you fashionistas out there have been keeping a careful eye on Paris Fashion Week and wishing you could be there, wearing the clothes, designing them- whichever role, I’m sure you were watching it with a dream in mind! So I’m sure that it came as a surprise to everyone when well renowned designer Karl Lagerfeld hosted a display of ‘protest’, supporting the wrongly controversial political movement, feminism. At first, the idea struck most as quite positive. Someone…

  • Opening the door to Autumn.

    5th October 2014 Florence Grace

    So as we start October, we feel the full effects of Autumn. The bizarre ‘heat waves’ we were given throughout September have quickly faded out and the colder weather, storms and fallen leaves and darker evenings have begun to make themselves at home. I, for one, love Autumn. Bonfire night, Halloween, the cosy clothes that provide a transition into winter and the beautiful coloured leaves. Need I say more? Anyway, to emphasize my love of Autumn, I have decided to…
