#YouthVoteLondon

So I don't talk about my job very often, heck, I don't talk on here very often....However, if you know me, you'll know I have a lovely job, at a PR company which is based in London & LA. We've been working on an absolutely amazing social campaign since I started working there, which is odd considering we're an Entertainment Publicity company!

The client is called Bite the Bite, they are a grassroots organisation who's main aim is to increase the percentage of first time voters/18-24year olds! (Think the UK version of the highly successful and celebrity endorsed Rock the Vote in America!) They don't like to use the word 'Politics', they just want to tell you about how important your vote is to you and every one around you! Bite the Ballot is running a campaign called #YouthVoteLondon, which is focussing on the Mayoral Elections in May.
Supporters of this campaign include Estelle, Tinie Tempah, Alesha Dixon, Lethal Bizzle, Noel Clarke, Preeya Kalidis and MANY more! 

They are holding an amazing event at the Ministry of Sound on Saturday 14th April (between 12pm-5pm) for young Londoners aged 16 and over. The event is a registration rally, with its primary objective being entertainment whilst getting young people to sign on to the electoral register (did you know that you are not automatically signed on to it when you move house i.e. university houses etc?)... EVERY young Londoner is invited to attend this event. If you want to know more then watch the video below, or if you want to go ahead straight away and get your FREE tickets, then click on this link!

Please watch the video below to find out more, enjoy, and share with your friends!



Just a quick note to say thank you in advance if you did watch the video! Oh, and don't forget to vote kids!

Working 9-5, what a way to make a living.

In my world there is no 9-5...

There's a 5-2, a 9-6, or a 11-8... That's no way to make a living! 
Today I had my first morning shift at KG, I woke up at 3am and it's now 3.45pm and surprisingly I'm still awake. I'm loving working at the shop, selling something I love whilst talking to all the excited people off on their holidays, talk about job satisfaction haha.  :) 
The ONLY downside of the job (and I mean only; I can deal with the 4 flights of stairs for each pair of shoes a customer wants to try on; I can deal with catching the bus at 4am) is that wearing heels is compulsory at KG. Now if you know me then you'll know that when I go out even if everyone else is wearing flats, I'll be that girl strolling around in the heels; I just hate wearing flats. BUT when you are on your feet for 8+ hours solid then heels are a nightmare, combine that with the 50 times up and down the stairs (no need for gym membership, bum and legs are toned for free!!!) at the end of the day, my feet HURT. Like excruciating pain! (If anyone has any tips for preventing this- chuck 'em my way please!)

Onto brighter news... 

These are my new work shoes, they make look a little 'frumpy' or not so sexy but they're practical for me. They're a 3.9inch heel, but they have a teeny platform to make them more comfortable for moi! And I love the contrast of the patent platform and strap to the suede part of the shoe. Sounds like I'm trying to sell them to you! Haha! 

Sorry that this post has been entirely about KG + work, I haven't really had much of a life at the moment as I've been working (clocked up 36 hours in the past 4 days- go me! got myself some nifty commission too!)  I have one more early tomorrow then I can actually start wearing non-uniform clothes again and maybe get some outfit photos up for you girls!

Hope the blogworld is fantastico for you, miss it lots. This is the first time I've switched my lappytop on in days! XOXO AVS
