L'Oreal!

I’m now in my final year, and as my final year project I am taking part in L’Oreal Brandstorm. L’Oreal Brandstorm is an international competition where any university students can take part. L’Oreal sets a brief that all teams that then create a 10 page answer to. This years brief involved getting male consumers into L’Oreal salons. Through implementing a service with an associated product range within the L’Oreal Professionnel Homme brand. I am working in a team with my two housemates! When submitting our idea to answering the brief back in January, we open minded to whether we would be one of the ten teams picked in the UK for the finals…. However we were!

We are now working on the implementation side of the brief… answering it as best as we can. We spent a day at L’Oreal’s head office getting to know the department, products and brief. Then on Tuesday we spent a day at a design agency getting our products drawn up professionally. It’s very exciting! However with less than a month left to finish before presenting to L’Oreal on the 3rd May the hard work begins!

Here are a few of our pictures that our friend took, which we will use within our advertising campaign, website etc.

I LOVE THEM!

TOKYO

A week after getting back from New York, I took a trip to Tokyo with some of my course friends! After the mad past few weeks of my 21st and New York, I hadn't had a chance to properly research Tokyo... so wasn't quite sure what to expect.

I was quite shocked to see the culture and how different everything is over there. I feel very lucky to be able to visit Tokyo and be back before the disastrous earthquake and tsunami last month.

After a 4hr delay, and these 2 providing me entertainment we were on our way!
First sights of Tokyo!
Win your food for dinner!
Hello Kitty heaven store... if thats what you should call it?

Dinner was like a picture book... look at pictures and take a guess at what you'd like to eat!
Day 1, 4am wake up call to visit the famous fish market!
Visiting a maid cafe for dinner was an experience! Not quite what we were expecting!
We managed to visit Tokyo Tower at dusk, was an aamaaazing time! Seeing the Tokyo sky line turn.
The Market!
People over there are maddd!
We could have spent the most of day on these machines! Editing ourselves to make us Harajuku girls
Cat Cafe's seem the norm of there... I was erm.. pleasantly surprised at what I came across
The last night saw us all hit the karaoke

New York

The end of January I turned 21 and to celebrate me and my boyfriend took a trip to New York for 5 days! Was one of my best holidays so far. Although this was my fourth visit to New York, it was one of my favourites. Heres some of my favourite pictures and times from the trip!
Our hotel had an amazing view!
Breakfast nearly every morning
Everyday with the help of Tom's blackberry and a map we planned where we wanted to go!
An amaaaazzzzing view from Rock-a-fella!
Regular coffee and chocolate breaksss
We also managed to stay awake long enough to go out in New York at night
Empire State Building
Lots of SNOWWWW!
Tom wouldn't let us leave New York until we had tried four loko
The revolving cafe
The last day we spent in snowy Central Park, and went ice-skating

I can't wait to go back!! x
