A Fountain of Talent

Hi lovelies!

This post is a little bit different to the norm for me, but in recent weeks I've been pretty overwhelmed by how many talented (and kind!) people I know, I'm not quite sure why this has taken me so long to realise; but finally I have!
It's a lovely feeling being surrounded by such talented folk, and I never have to search far for a helping hand. This post acts as both a thank you and a note to all of you that you should check out these blogs and pages!

Firstly, I'd like to introduce you all to my close friend;

Website//blog

Vicky has basically been on the receiving end of many stupid questions, late night emails and a constant source of support during the release of my book (and in general.) She's an incredibly talented lady! She's also battled through two attempts of taking my head shots, and honestly, I'm useless; she just lets me get on with it.

Blog

Next we have the designer of my book cover! Yazz and I go way back, and she's definitely one to keep an eye on. She's incredibly talented at graphic design and art. (Although not so great at the blogging thing, I'll whip her into shape soon enough!)

Blog//Facebook 

You've probably seen me talk about Hannah from Daisies & DMs before, an incredibly talented artist and illustration. She designed my previous blog header and most recently has designed the merchandise to go in hand with my book! I'm also a fan of her blog; she's a lady with great taste!

Facebook

I spend quite a lot of time stalking Roxy's photography page on facebook, and I've been lucky enough to work with her a couple of times. (Most recently for a project that I can't wait to share with you!) I'm awful at the whole 'modelling' thing, but she still manages to work with me and I really am amazed by her talent.

Blog

I met Danielle last week (for the above mentioned project) and as some of you may have noticed, my blog has had a design overhaul! This is all down to the lovely Danielle volunteering herself for this, and I'm so happy with the results. She's a very talented graphic designer!

Website

And finally,  Liam is also a graphic designer and finalises the trio of people who I worked with last week. Another person who has been great support with my book and approached me with his idea for a project. (I don't know if project is the right word, but I'm not sure how much I can say at the moment!) 

Honestly, there are so many other people I could include but the large majority of them don't have a website or blog (boooo) despite my incessant nagging at them to make a page. (I just want more internet friends!) 

Being able to interact with, receive help from and work with so many talented and artistic people makes life seem that little bit rosier. Thank you all for making my life that little bit easier!

I can't express how many times I've been close to throwing the towel in on my book, but the overwhelming support I've had from people like this has spurred me on that little bit further.

The Beat

Hi Lovelies!
Ahhh....I'm sorry!! I have been an awful blogger. I've just been SO busy and blogging hasn't been a priority at the moment :( Between working full time, setting up a business, publishing a book and everything in between- I'm pretty damn busy *yawn* This also means I've had basically no time to even catch up on blogs, but if there's anything you'd like a comment on just post the link to it and I really will try to take a look! To add to this, every bit of money I have has been pumped into this book so it's not like I've even bought any new products or clothes to blog about.

As this is basically consuming my life, I just wanted to give you all an update on my book.
The release date is set for 14th August, and pre-orders are now available in my store.

If you get the chance, please do take a look it over on Goodreads and maybe add it to your 'want to read' list, there's also a give away for 2 copies on Goodreads!

I've teamed up with the lovely and talented Doodleheart for the illustration work on posters and postcards, these are also available in my store!
Please do give her facebook page a like! 

It would be really great if you could help support me with this by making a quick blog post or something; even just a couple of sentences would be a great help! 

If you're interested in reviewing this book, send an email to: contact@evelynknightley.co.uk with your blog details and format preference. 

Please like my page on facebook and follow me on twitter!

So, what have I missed in the blogosphere?!

Places We Never Went Together

Hi Lovelies!

I just wanted to share my new portrait picture with you! This is another piece by Hannah @ Doodleheart. I seriously recommend you check out her blog and like her on facebook!

(If only my legs were that amazing haha!) 

I'm really so happy, I really love everything about it. It's currently on my facebook too and I've had so many compliments (and also messages asking me if she draws other people, hopefully sending some commissions your way Hannah!) 

I've also featured in a couple of her recent posts: here & here :)

Thank you so much Hannah!! <3

As a side note, in case you missed it, I've posted my first blog sale so I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out and spread the word. Saving funds for both survival and also a much needed escape from the UK haha! 

I'm planning on filming a couple of videos tomorrow, so keep an eye out for those :)

Violent lips

Hi lovelies!
Just a quick post for today, but I wanted to share some goodies I received in the post this morning.
I entered Hannah's giveaway (check out her blog!) and to my complete surprise, I won! (I say complete surprise as I have about as much luck as a broken mirror, so this really made my day.)

Firstly, I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to Hannah! This really has put a massive grin on my face, more so when I saw the effort you had put into the packaging. Who doesn't love an envelope explosion of hearts and beautiful scent? (what was that scent?!) 

(That's a great thumbnail if ever there was one.) 

Now to share my goodies! 

This is all so perfect for me! I've been meaning to try Topshop makeup products for so long but it's something that always slips my mind. I have to say, I'm incredibly impressed!

I can't wait to experiment with the nail and lip foils! 

The necklaces are beautiful too! 

I just had a quick experiment with the eyeshadow palette and the nail polish and these are the results! 

Topshop Smokey Eye Palette
Topshop Brightener
Topshop Gel Liner

Topshop Nail Varnish in 'Treasure'

Once again, Thank you! :)
