Dreaming of LOOK
I
think my obsession with fashion magazines began when I was about
twelve years old. I distinctly remember flicking through the pages of
countless fashion bibles, in awe of the beautiful images playing out
before me. It was an immediate love affair; I loved the smell, the
glossy pages, the way every model looked like she belonged in a
fairytale- and the clothes. The beautiful, beautiful clothes. I would
recreate the looks I had seen sprawled across those wondrous pages,
read about the latest fashion trends, mentally taking note of
everything I ‘needed’ for the next season.

I
would buy copy after copy of my favourite fashion magazines, read
them cover to cover and take note of every last detail inside. I
would gaze longingly at the designer spreads, open another beloved
magazine, and see before me a mass of high street replicas, so easily
at my reach. It was a fashion obsession, and the magical books I
purchased each week and month helped feed my desire for fashion.

As
time went on, and Spring/Summer became Autumn/Winter, something
clicked inside my head. I could be a part of this enchanting and
fashionable world. Writing was something I was always good at, and
fashion was something I completely and utterly adored. I suddenly
realised that my dream career was sitting, quite literally, in the
palms of my hands. I could write about fashion. From then on I
decided I would become a magazine journalist. What more could a girl
want, than to spend her days researching looks, styling shoots,
writing articles on the latest trends, and to get paid for it? In all
honesty, I’d do it for free!

This
aspiration of mine may be a long way off, but I hope to do everything
in my power to make it a reality. An ultimate dream of mine is to
sit, front-row, at a real-life fashion show. To be able to see the
latest trends, and the stunning clothes before anyone else, as well
as being feet away from the gorgeous models sounds magnificent to me.
This is where LOOK Magazine comes in. LOOK is, without a doubt, one
of my favourite fashion magazines, and although I would love to say I
adore all things designer, high street fashion is most definitely
where my heart lies. Primark is quite honestly my haven and a visit
to Topshop the ultimate treat.

LOOK,
being the fabulous magazine that it is, is running a blogging
competition; the winners of which, get to sit front row at The LOOK
Show in Westfield Stratford City next month, as well as receiving a
host of other treats (ยฃ200 to spend in Westfield, yes please!) I
cannot express how excited I was to see that the blogging competition
was back โ I found out about it too late last time and remember
reading about all the winners’ wonderful experiences of it rather
enviously. I believe I should win because being at The Look Show
would be one step closer to making my dream of writing for magazines
a reality. Being able to watch as the models glide down the runway,
and then report back about everything I have seen is what I believe I
was born to do.

I
imagine the day would be a whirlwind of fashion fabulousness, every
moment filled with style and glamour. I am dying to feast my eyes on
the wonders the likes of River Island, New Look, H & M and Forever
21 (along with so many others) have in store. If I was to win I would
fully appreciate being able to see all my favourite high street
store’s latest A/W offerings, and would put a ridiculous amount of
effort into reporting live on the show. This is, after all, what I
want to spend my life doing. Wish me LOOK!
