Who? Me! Elisha, Organization STORM, Music Artist Shaun White, Fashion Vlogger Peeks, Music Artist Lady Leshurr and comedian A.Dot 

What? Peace Concert 

When? 3rd August 2012

Where? Wandsworth Town Hall Civil Centre 

Why? To promote EFJ and support The Peace Concert

S.T.O.R.M. stands for Support, Trust, Opportunity, Rebuilding and Motivation. This organization is a self help group for lone mothers. The aim is to rebuild self esteem and confidence in women who have experienced difficult relationships or have missed out on educational opportunities. The Peace Concert is an intrinsic part of  S.T.O.R.M to support and empower young people to reject involvement in gangs, and to instead seek alternative life styles through education, employment and training.

Marie the founder of S.T.O.R.M has hosted workshops with EFJ in the past and so she invited EFJ to sell at the event before and during the show. The show started at 8pm but the doors were open from 3pm so me and Elisha were there from 2pm to set up. There was quite a lot of people from the local community the majority were teenagers but there was a lot of young children with there parents. For most of the day I was on the stool with Elisha at other times I was be handing out flyers and badges which everyone loved, including the men! We also met the lovely fashion and beauty vlogger Peeks and The Mayor of Wandsworth came along to support the event.

We packed away around 9pm so we could watch the rest of the show Shaun White was performing who is also Elisha’s cousin, so I met him before he went on stage . For those who don’t know about Shaun White yet he’s a songwriter , producer , recording artist and performer, and has collaborated with Wretch 32 and  50 Cent, just to mention a few!

Some of the highlights of the concerts were performances by the comedian A.dot, and Lady Leshurr both of which put on an amazing show.

ELISHA FRANCIS JEWELLERY :D

What? Best Of Both Boutique Fashion Show

When? Thursday 2nd August 2012

Where? Question Bar, Forest Hill, London

Why? To Style Models with ELISHA FRANCIS JEWELLERY

So Best Of Both is a boutique in Forest Hill owned by the lovely Chantel and Charley.

They sell glamorous dresses and shoes for glamorous women and to showcase this they wanted to put on a fashion show and pop up boutique and so they requested for ELISHA FRANCIS JEWELLERY to feature and accessorize the models on the night.

My role on the night involved dressing the models, styling them with the jewellery and making sure each model was ready for her next outfit for the runway.

I’ve styled and dressed before but not for a fashion show, so I was feeling the pressure trying to get each girl into there next look within the short space, so I was really glad that I brought along my good friend Kelvin (also a Fashionista) to help me out, for some reason my feet were aching and I wasn’t even wearing heels!

Once the show was over my next mission was to entice people over to the 

ELISHA FRANCIS JEWELLERY pop up boutique to indulge, which was quite easier than I thought (maybe it was to do with all the free champers going around ;))
