In last weeks blog I told you about our beautiful supporter Emma Barnes and how we had invited her to come to London for a special photoshoot.
Well I’m pleased to say that the shoot went extremely well and Emma looked stunning, she had a wonderful day and has left with lots of happy memories and a new dress, pair of shoes and designer bracelet….any girls dream day hurh ?
The day started with Emma and her best friend Gill arriving in London and meeting us for a delicious lunch at the Princess in Old Street where we all ate fish cakes drank apple juice and talked about Emma’s children, her and Gills friendship, holidays, fashion and most importantly the and the day ahead. Considering Emma is undergoing strong chemotherapy on a 3 weekly basis she was beaming with excitement for the day ahead, she radiates so much happiness and positive energy its hard not to feel affected by her.
Whilst having lunch I presented her with a gift from the luxury jeweller and celebrity favourite Monica Vinader (who we all lust after here in FTBC HQ) who had given her one of their hot pink Fiji bracelets as a gift to mark the occasion – she was thrilled !
After lunch we headed over to Coast Head Office and met with the charming make-up artist Bethan. Inika Make-up very kindly answered our prayers and generously offered to do Emmas makeup for her and Inika is a fairly new brand in the UK, we’ll do a separate blog post on it later in the week but the fact that its 100% organic, vegetarian friendly and contains no nasty’s it gets a thumbs up from us !
As soon as Emma was ready we gave her the dress that had been especially made for her by the lovely ladies at Coast. Emma soon warmed up and had an extremely enjoyable afternoon and was a natural.
Here’s a couple of shots behind the scenes and off Emma. Keep an eye out for these shots as they’ll be appearing a lot during October.
Massive thanks to Coast, Inika Make-up, Monica Vinader and Emma – we all had a wonderful and very special day .
