Happy Monday everyone! A very special friend of mine bought me these flowers as a get-well gift and I thought they were just so beautiful that I wanted to share them. It's amazing how flowers can brighten up your whole day. I'm going make an effort to buy fresh flowers every weekend from now on because they really do inspire me. Speaking of inspiration, you will need to draw some together for what I have to share today.
While I'm not a fashion designer myself, I think that any graduate training program or mentorship for young graduates starting up their careers is so important. For all of you that are aspiring fashion designers, ELLE and Mr Price have started their search for the 2014 winner of the ELLE Rising Star Design Award.
