My Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride...
My Magical Trip to Hawai'i...
Aloha from Hawai'i my friends.
I am here in Hawai'i because I am working at the IUCN World Conservation Congress. This is a 9.000 person strong event; with conservation hero's such as Jane Goodall, journalism guru Thomas Freedman, Government monarchs such as Sally Jewell (Secretary of the Interior of the USA), celebrity sweethearts such as Alison Sudal (who is appearing in the next Harry Potter film!), and lastly: literal royalty; HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.
And would you believe I'm working with them all!?
I love PR. PR means dealing with VIPS. I typically dislike VIP's for I have come across one too many narcissistic airheads, AND it's a dark manipulative part of the industry... But in this context... I've loved working with VIP's!! It's been amazing helping the do-gooders (just like myself), do good... but with much much more influence than I could ever dream of! Like humble Ali, whom my family and I have grown so so fond of, is committed to being the IUCN's goodwill ambassador (even if that means standing up on a stage and in front of so many people even though someone accidentally stole her speech!).
Or generous Jack Johnson! Who gave a free concert at the opening party to attract crowds from far and wide! Rock on!
Or the icon that is Dame Jane Goodall. A woman who challenged taboos, on top being a woman disagreeing with the predominantly male scientific community in a time when that wasn't as acceptable as it was today. The few minutes I spent conversing with impacted me so heavily through the contagious love and admiration in which she spoke of nature. A truly magical kind of VIP influence. I have really been taken by all these people and done some thinking this summer.. and have decided that it's time to begin merging my two passions: nature conservation and Fashion PR.
How? If I can finish my degree having gained the knowledge of how to manipulate people into senselessly splashing money over items to build an image of themselves (through trends that come and go) solely because of strong branding... I can apply that towards nature conservation!
EXAMPLE: Every single electrical car was as ugly as can be (sorry Prius, but ew.); but as soon as real life Tony Stark: Elon Musk stepped in... and amplified that technology and made it sexy, sold it as luxury to rack in the money, and is soon coming out with cheaper models... the world has reached a pivotal breakthrough! The right business model to create something green that's sexy.
If that makes sense..
This is where PR is needed and this is where I am committed to make a change: I am going to make nature conservation sexy. I will make loving and cherishing this planet, the pivotal sexy image we all desire.
Without further ado; (VIDEO COMING SOON) check out my artsy photo's of Hawaii through my new pain-in-the-ass but gorgeous-when-you-get-it-right 50mm lens!
Rogue Gone Vogue Gone to St. Lucia
I had the great privilege of going on Holiday with my family to St. Lucia this January! While I was there it was great to explore my favourite seasonal wardrobe; summer. Anything goes really, I had such fun over the week I was there experimenting and playing with different looks, and pieces of jewellery, and makeup. Looking back on this holiday now (while I'm in rainy London) gets me excited and has me planning for summer 2015. I followed the Spring Summer 2015 shows avidly in winter 2014, and so had had a field day playing with the trends for 2015 early! So here are some candid family photo's from our trip, landscape photo's, and pictures of my SS15 inspired wardrobe.
Such a beautiful place, met such beautiful people, and looking out a dreary London right now it's a dream to know that once a week there is always a direct flight from Heathrow to St. Lucia...

| Rogue Gone Vogue living up to her name. Sports bra's make for great beach crop tops I've discovered; and notice the 'candelabra's' earrings as they came to be dubbed. Big statement over the top earrings make anything look glamourous. |
 |
| Beaut. |
 |
| A favourite of the trip was very thin gold jewellery. So dainty when a chain so small makes such a statement when glinting in the sun! |
 |
| Long sleeved/legged pyjamas are a must for battling mosquito's. These faux silk ones were enough to protect me but not leave me cooking! |
 |
| Reflective Sunglasses are a huge trend for 2015. Spoiler alert: they are always summer trend, but roll with it especially this year. |
 |
| Gym gear, hiking boots and a backpack always look super fashionable to me when you are on holiday. |
 |
| Mum nails every outfit; but this was just uncanny. (Vintage Moschino none-the-less! It's almost as if were related...) |
 |
| How cool Matt Damon got married at our hotel? |
 |
| Turtleneck backless floor length dresses always look fabulous; in chill or heat. |
 |
| Insane sunsets and random rainbows were a common occurrence. |
 |
| This was just ironic. Glamour UK magazine doing a photoshoot right in front of me. The model there is dutch Victoria's Secret Angel Bregje Heinen who I saw walk the VS fashion show just a month previous. On an island across the world and my fashion industry follows. Hm: seeing as it leads here however... I'm thinking I made the right career choice. |
 |
| Breathtaking. |
 |
| This super sexy outfit is way ahead of the trend for summer 2015. It's called The-Padi-Certified-Look. ;) Scuba Gear: Gucci. (kidding) |
 |
| Sheer shirts all the way. So dainty, cooling, and high fashion (if done right). Best part about it is you can wear comfy bra's and leave them on show because: you can justify your choices by reassuring yourself you were wearing a bikini and nothing else less than 10 minutes ago and didn't feel awkward. |
 |
| John Lenon Green Lensed Ray-Ban appreciation photo. I lived by these sunnies. Real protection and real cool. |
 |
| Vintage Moschino Top (of course it was a hand-me-down) was so cute and fun to wear on this holiday. The trend I was going for here was 70's beach chic. |
