September 2015 Calendar | LIFE

Hello!

"cherish the idea that it's a fresh start, no matter what you're doing this month"

As it is the month that we all remember as 'Back to School' Month. It's the month we began yet another academic year. Soon the leaves will turn brown, and as the air turns crisper it feels like a fresh start all over again (Read: Fresh, Positive Thoughts). Whether you're going about work, going to uni, sending your kids off for the first year of school or just chilling, a pretty calendar is just what you need this month. Heck, you need it every month (Read: August 2015 Calendar) but this month is a good place to start.

The theme this month? Obviously it has to do with the trees. The brown leaves on trees are the ultimate sign that we are approaching, or in, the incredible season of Autumn. Autumn, if you didn't pick it up already, is my favourite season (Read: Autumn Inspiration). Sure, I love the Spring showers as much as the next guy (just kidding, probably much more than the next guy as most people don't like the rain, whereas I LOVE it), but there's something about the clean, fresh Autumn air that lifts my spirits. Not only that, can we just take a moment for Autumn fashion? Yep, *sigh*, it's a wonderful time.

So, make the most of your September, enjoy Freshers if you're starting uni, continue to (or start to) enjoy the work that you do and cherish the idea that it's a fresh start, no matter what you're doing this month.

Hope you have a wonderful September. Tell me, what do you think about the transition to Autumn?

Hello!

"you need a calendar to make sure nothing clashes, that you plan your days wisely"

How is the 8th month of the year starting very soon? It's crazy! Nonetheless, it's probably the most looked forward to month, it's the month of SUMMER. Filled with trips to the beach, pool and planning picnics and spending time with family and friends. With all of that going on, you need a calendar to make sure nothing clashes, that you plan your days wisely. Oh, and it is completely okay to plan a DO NOTHING day - not everyday has to be busy just because it's summer, right? :)

If you’re the creative type and you can’t get enough of clothing and accessories, you might be perfectly suited to a career in fashion. It’s true that breaking into this industry can be tough, but if you make it, you’ll be rewarded with work that reflects your passions and talents. To help you along the way, this brief guide covers the basics of getting into fashion.

Decide on a route

The first step is to decide on a specific route. There are lots of roles on offer in this field, and you’ll need to hone in on the one that most appeals to you. From designing to buying and blogging, there is no shortage of options. Bear in mind that you don’t have to go it alone if you want an outlet for your creative talents. Clothing suppliers like FireLabel Merchandising offer full embroidery and printing design services, so working behind the scenes for organisations like this could give you a chance to showcase your imagination and abilities. It’s worth putting plenty of thought into choosing the right path so that you don’t end up regretting your decisions further down the line.

Get your qualifications

Once you know what you’re aiming for, it’s time to get the relevant qualifications. For example, if you want to become a fashion designer, a formal education and training could prove vital. There are a range of courses on offer, including bachelor and master’s degrees and certification programmes.

However, if you’re looking for an alternative to academic study, you might be better suited to the more practical option of taking an apprenticeship. This route can be especially effective if you want to work in hands-on roles, but bear in mind that actually finding suitable apprenticeships can be a challenge.

Spend time networking

As with all industries, it pays off to know the right people when you’re trying to break into fashion. This means it’s important to spend some time getting to know others in the industry. You can do this by cultivating connections online via social media and by attending industry events. Although this might seem like a lot of effort for not much return at times, it can prove vital in landing jobs at all levels in the world of fashion.   

Be prepared to start at the bottom

Another top tip is to manage your expectations. The chances are, you’ll need to start at the bottom, gain experience and work your way up. If you hold out for the perfect role right at the start of your career, you might find you never break into this competitive industry.

There’s no escaping the fact that getting into fashion can be a challenge. However, by following advice like this, you can boost your chances of achieving your goal.
