Hello everyone!!! My name is Zodie, I am a styling intern and tweeter under @EFJintern for ELISHA FRANCIS, I create outfits on her blog inspired by her jewellery and give style tips to my viewers on what to wear with her jewellery. I am currently working at Urban Outfitters. I am an inspiring stylist
and Fashion lover. Being apart of Elisha's team has really inspires me to put everything I've learnt into action. I really appreciate this opportunity to gain experience
and learn how the industry works. I was so excited to be offered this internship to be a part of her team and
I think this is the place for me.... So here's my first photo shoot :)

Oh what a day :)
I was given the opportunity to be a stylist on this photo shoot for Elisha and dress the models in some gorgeous accessories she made for her project at uni called The Muse Project.
Looking forward to that day, I was given the mood board which was inspired by Monochrome and so I knew what she was looking for the shoot. It was 1 day left till the photo shoot and I received a text from Elisha, regarding one of the models. She had cancelled and ask me if I would like to step in her place. I was thrilled and excited to be apart of it.
So the day had arrived, I was told to meet at her place for 10:30am and bring a few items along with me: Black trousers which I didn't have so I brought my black jeans, Black brogues, black heels and my makeup kit. I arrived at 10:35 as I was abit delayed. I finally reached, where I was greeted by her and introduced to one of the other models I would be working with who is in the same course that she is in, she was really nice her name is Maarit. So the day began, we sat down with some nibbles, a hot drink and discussed about the concept.
Now it was time to get dressed, put makeup on and get our hair done for the shoot, so we are ready for when Simon comes.
Couple of minutes later Simon arrived and we got into our first outfits, my first outfit was a white pleated shirt, black jeans, black brogues and a statement collar she designed, I was the masculine model which I quite enjoyed, I love a suit outfit :). We took some pictures inside first to get good use of the natural light before it went dark with a backdrop of a grey painted wall. "It was so much fun".
Then we changed into our second outfit which was a black corset with black jeans to show off the accessory around my neck... I was given a neck piece with spikes and lace, " I definitely felt fierce", to top it up I was given the best vintage fur coat I had ever seen, I felt so classy and elegant.
It was time to change back into my first outfit, so we headed outside to do shots near Peckham Tube station where there was loads of arches and a quirky bar which was a great place to take photos. It was the perfect scenery and we had lots of inspiration by our surroundings.
I hope you enjoyed this post :)
