Once You Go Black(berry)

By Sabrina on October 22, 2011 in Fashion, Reviews, Tech-U-Like, Work

It’s no secret that I’m a BlackBerry user and also quite fond of them. I especially like when you press the spacebar twice and get a full stop (I bet you’re going to try it).

My phone broke, so BlackBerry kindly loaned me a Playbook and the new Bold 9900. Due to the BlackBerry service being down for 3 days last week I couldn’t start my review, but as soon as it was up – I was documenting how the Playbook and Bold 9900 were conducive to someone like me, a blogger, stylist, writer, social media maven, lover of video games and cheese on toast.

I was wondering how I would get the files off the Playbook to my computer and I was kindly informed that you can share files over WiFi. Just find the Playbook’s IP in settings, and enter it into Run on Windows, or Connect to Server on a Mac which will then open the file manager. You can find tutorials over the internet, including this one here.

Well I thought it was nifty – but it was slow to work. I could access the directory of the Playbook – however when the drag ‘n’ drop began, it didn’t happen. It crashed my Explorer (no I don’t use a Mac) several times when I tried to do bulk drag ‘n’ drop.

I don’t think it’s completely fair to blame the Playbook, because the internet in my gaff is pretty shit and it runs like a dream on the Bridge. I did manage to get a photo off during the end, using the WiFi dragging one at a time. However the Playbook needs a software update (which I can’t do as it’s I can’t change the BlackBerry ID on it) – so I procured a cable and proceeded to use BlackBerry Desktop Software.

I will show you my BlackBerry world.

I DID A SHOOT WITH NATALIA TENA AND IT’S OUT TODAY

By Sabrina on October 1, 2011 in Editorial, Fashion, Magazines, Shoots, Work

Dear readers,

I apologise for my absence. I have been away, I’ve also been shooting loads, and also I’m working on changing up some parts of my blog. Please bear with me while I finish tweaking all the loose ends.

However, I now also have a Tumblr for random bits and pieces. Think of it as a way to tide you over until I can start posting propah again. Like a thinly sliced apple to a glass of fine port (I don’t drink port, but it sounds like such fun!)

I will be back properly soon, but for now, enjoy a shoot I did with Squiz Hamilton for FAULT Fall 2011 where I styled actress Natalia Tena.

Behind the scenes photos can be found on my Facebook page.

Love and puppies, S xxxxxxx

Hello, this is my day job.

By Sabrina on August 3, 2011 in Editorial, Fashion, Magazines, Work

Apparently no-one is sure of what I do. In all honesty, I’m not even sure what I do most of the time. I will make a handy list to clear up any confusion.

I am a:
- Stylist
- Journalist
- Blogger
- Social Media consultant

Anyhoo, I have some new work out in Schön! Magazine 13 where I shot an editorial named “Heliotrope” with Grant Thomas. (thus named because it’s purple)

You can see it by clicking here or on the picture.

Oh hello and Happy New Year.

By Sabrina on January 9, 2011 in Beauty, Fashion, Magazines, Work

Hello friends! I really should update more often. Why don’t I update more often? I’d like to say because I have a life and/or a manic job (well it is, on and off) but honestly, I can’t be bothered to write about the same nonsense that everyone else writes about. Would you like me to regurgitate fashun newz that is on every other blog? I wouldn’t. Although I am making more of an effort of not being a grumpy git. I aim to always bring a smile to your face, and a chuckle to your day with my witterings on a subject that I didn’t even go and study.

FANCY THAT!

Merry 2011 also, it seems everyone has been having a productive year thus far. I know I am. Work is coming to fruition from the last quarter of 2010, including being published as the main beauty feature in today’s Sunday Times Style. Centre page spread bebe!

I’ve put a scan here, as Times is behind a paywall *mutters* and also for my readers and friends outside the UK to have a look. Click to enlarge. I’m still waiting for the tearsheet, but when I get it, my portfolio will be updated accordingly.
