The Secret Life Of A Fashionista

You may remember me from earlier in the year, I was the fashion student featured in one of the earlier posts on The Glamour Suite - and if you don't then hey there I'm Katie. I study fashion in the North East. In fact at the time of you reading this I will have been modelling some of my own pieces that you will hopefully see very soon.

Actually I know you will becasue Dann is going to be a part of those shoots and I'm sure he'll show you all what he's been up to with me. I love clothes as much as the next girl and designing them is something I've always wanted to be doing in life. You never know, one day you may be wearing a Katie Scott.

This column was named after the Belle De Jour series of books, and while I am nothing like that character, it's a little about how there's a bit of that secret in all of us. By secret I mean our hidden confidence. I am a huge advocate for self-confidence and loving yourself every day. A little encouragement from yourself that you are fabulous can go a long way.

In fact that's what I plan on using this column to do in the coming issues. I want to encourage you all to love yourself a little bit more, that it's okay to be who you are and it's fantastic to be who you want to be. This is just the introduction, see you in 2014 guys and remember to love who you are this Christmas period.
