GRLPWR GANG X ACCESSORIZE

Oct 17

Last week I had the pleasure of spending the day with some bad ass babes at the GRLPWR X Accessorize lunch at Eaton House! GRL PWR Gang are a collective of girls who love & support each other. Creating jobs and opportunity for each other rather than working against each other. We learnt a lot about each other, from how to deal with negativity, body image and sharing girl boss tips on our industry.

such a dream

Every room, corner and even the art work looked like it belonged in Polly Pocket’s house. What perfect space to put creatives! Over lunch we discuss everything from body positivity - how we can use our platforms to create awareness and a realistic view on our body to help others. I think that sticking to showing who you really are with no photoshop or too much editing is the way forward. Young girls now are so cautious of their appearance and it was so different for us when we were young. We didn't know anything about contouring, filters and we didn’t care about how many followers we had. That’s why I love events like this, where we are bringing powerful creative and passionate influencers together, to share our experiences and share tips on how we can use our platforms to spread love for the younger generation.

Not only did the day involve us talking about hot topics - we also got to get creative and shoot around the house. We of course went crazy and took photos of every room and every corner, creating some great content with each other. There is definitely room in this industry for everyone and through creating that space of positivity, we allow great friendships, content and passion to grow. You have to have a certain attitude towards other girls, build each other up & support each other instead of pitting people against each other. Whilst at Eaton House, I also got the opportunity to style up Accessorize’s AW17 products, which I loved!
