Peter Alexander shoot.

Hi everybody! 

Who has been following the Australian tour? I have been following every single step of the way. I have admired Kate's fashion so much, that the other day I had to have a spending spree and find replicas for my Kate wardrobe! But I have much more news. 

As my boyfriend Simon is the UK's Prince William look-alike, he and I have taken part in a photoshoot for Peter Alexander in Australia! We had to take part in a shoot called "A Royal Mothers Day". It depicts the royals celebrating Kate's first mother's day and it was such fun making. 

Not only was it fun but we also got to dress in a fun collection of pyjamas and even Mary (the Queen's lookalike) got to wear a onesie! 

One image is me in bed being treated to breakfast from William. Another one was me along with the other female lookalikes reading Peter Alexander magazines. I was a hassle though. We went through 4 baby George's! And each of them ended up crying half-way through! 

 

A few images from the shoot. 

Anyway, I'll update some more later! 

New photo!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I've been busy at Windsor seeing my mother but that isn't all. Who here loves the new Royal photo? 



I love it and Prince George has grown so much since we last saw him! Now this may come really strange to you. I have a boyfriend called Simon and he is the UK's Prince William lookalike. And with help from his little nephew and his family cocker spaniel, we tried to recreate this photo. 

Do you think we did well? 



Happy Mother's Day! 

My Alice in Wonderland cake

Hi everyone!

As most of you know, I've started an amazing job as Head of Design at Topshop, well my life has taken a sudden twist. One of my new friends Holly, has her birthday party on Sunday 6th April and every year, she hosts a Great Disney Bake Off. 

You see Holly loves Disney! I like Disney very much but she's obsessed. So when I went along, I knew I'd have to take part. But I knew it would be hard. Two of my friends are friends with Holly, Jennifer and my boss Liz but the rest were complete strangers to me! So I'd be competing against people, who I didn't know. You never know, they could have been champion of MasterChef, Great British Menu and the Great British bake-off!

So I knew I had to think of something good. I looked at pictures of old cakes that had been served up. Most of my ideas had already been taken and I knew I wouldn't stand a chance. I mean who could beat this Narnia cake from 2012?

Then I knew with 2013, I wouldn't even come 2nd never mind 1st! 

So I thought of Disney films and I then had an amazing idea! I'd do an Alice in Wonderland themed one. I mean with Alice in Wonderland, I can be as wacky as I want. So I sketched out a drawing and tried to copy it. At first it seemed impossible but it actually turned out ok! 

So I had my cake ready and who's prepared to see it? Here it is!

The cards are held on with cocktail sticks and I just placed them in when I got to Holly's house. And the tea party turned out ok if I'm honest. And knowing Holly, she went to all the stops! Here is some images. 







And as it was a nice day and a very sort of colourful party, I thought it would be a perfect time to wear my repli-Kate dress. 



Me in the dress

The minute I saw her wearing it I knew I had to have a repli-kate.

I scoured the high street and internet for a few weeks hoping to find a good copy but unfortunately I had no luck in my quest…until I had a browse on Etsy. Then I came across the wonderful seller Samantha for ByDesignNewZealand and saw that she designs and hand-makes beautiful repli-Kates of Kate’s Polka-dot dress. I instantly knew this was the perfect choice so I specified my measurements and only after a week of waiting the dress arrived, beautifully packaged, all the way from New Zealand. I tore open the wrapping, tried it on and it fitted like a dream.

The day the dress arrived

Will update some more later. 

Wow!

I got this from my friend Jennifer and she sent it to to me. She said it was more like an early Christmas message from her! Bit early by 9 months Jen! 

However I do love it! I'll post it up later at Christmas so until then! More updates soon! 

My products!

I am so excited! I just got in my orders from Tudor Shoppe and Not on the High Street and I couldn't be happier. A few things I bought for myself but seeing as Mother's Day is on March 30th and I only have a week left, I ordered in a few things for my mum for the big day! 



This is my order from Tudor Shoppe. Seeing as I'm a massive royal fan and as Prince George will be seen out and about in the next few weeks. And I got a few other George things from Not on the High Street too but you'll see them later! 

Now Not on the High Street, is probably my favourite furniture shop ever! I love it, as you can purchase original items and you can personalise them. And when it comes to wedding anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas! I usually get presents from there. 

So I purchased quite a lot of things from there and I love them all! Here is my endless list! 



This is a little canvas I bought and I have it in my living room. I just think it sums up what I've been told my whole life. 



Here's the first thing I got through with my Prince George package. The christening and I also got one with the birth (below) 





Now this is something I got for my mum for mother's day. I just think it is hilarious. I was so tempted to get one for Jane but instead I went with a different idea! 



I got my gran Jane a bag saying all of the things she loves in the world. 

But that's about it. More updates soon! 

National Portrait Gallery

Hi everyone! Today, was one of the best times of my life in London! Today me and my best girl Jennifer (from work) set off with our phones to the National Portrait Gallery! 



Apart from the title, you can probably tell by the letters where we are :)




Seeing as I'm a massive history fan, I was able to point out who all of the monarch were. No joke, there was about 100 portraits of Queen Elizabeth I. There was also a few of Henry VIII and I came across one of Anne Boleyn. For those who don't know, Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII's second wife, who was also Queen Elizabeth I's mother and she was eventually beheaded in the Tower of London. 



This is the picture of Anne Boleyn on display at the Gallery. It isn't considered, a likeness as it was painted in the early 1600s when Anne was beheaded in 1536. 

We admired all of the art. There was such a large collection to see! From royalty to movie stars. Inventors, events in history and much more. Then we came across my ultimate desire! We found Kate Middleton's portrait. 

I went forward and touched it as if she was right before me. It was so gorgeous to see it, much better than how they make it look on TV. 



After a wonderful day at the Gallery, we headed to the gift shop and bought tons of souvenirs. I also bought postcards. There was postcards of almost every work of art. I bought 1 of Anne Boleyn, 1 of the Queen, 1 of Charles and Diana, 1 of Elizabeth I and more postcards. However I also as you probably guessed, I bought one of Kate's portrait. I now have most of my postcards on my fridge, the rest are around my house. 



Me and my Kate postcard

Then after the gallery, my girl and I set off into Trafalgar Square and started to climb onto Nelson's Column. I thought it was hard at first, but I will get used to climbing up eventually. Here are some pictures from the time at the Square. 





The next picture was probably my favourite from the day. As you can tell, I love Westminster and I love the whole area. Well my favourite spot is Big Ben and when I was sitting on the Lion, (I do have a picture of me on the Lion but it won't upload) I took a picture of the view. I love my amazing photography so much! 



At 5pm, after a lovely day out and catching a Starbucks, we then walked to Westminster tube station. Even though I live just about fifteen minutes away, I caught the tube anyway. I loved my day out with Jen and I will treasure my photography forever!

My family

Hi everyone!

It's another good morning from me in London today, I woke up to a nice day. Seeing as nothing much has been going on at home and work has been pretty much everything for almost a week running now, (you won't believe how boring it is!). I decided to talk about my family instead. 

I'll start off with my parents. My parents are called Ray and Sharon Miller. Now in the picture below, it's true, that is my dad. I know he looks like he could pass as my old brother but my parents are quite young. They're both 42 and my dad is older than my mum by 2 months. 




Seeing as I'm twenty, my dad was 22 and my mum was 21. My mum is only 21 as I was born the month before her birthday. 

Life at home as a child in Scotland was quite dull. It was the same routine everyday. I would come home from school and do my homework. I grew up with one sister who was younger than me by two years. From the start I could follow the 'big sister' stereotypes. Pulling her hair, calling her names. Wake up. Hold these. Stand there. And all because I was older than her. (Don't worry this started when she was older, not when she was a baby! I'm not that cruel). 

My sister did suffer a bit of bullying at school so I helped her out with that. However when we moved to Windsor, it never happened so I was free from Bully Squad duty. 



My sister Alana is the girl on the right with the blonde hair. 

We lived in a flat in Windsor and my parents still do. Where the red circle is, marks me and Alana's bedroom windows. My parent's bedroom is smaller and is at the back of the flat. From our bedroom we had a view of the castle and as mentioned I did throw confetti from the window. 

Now away from my closest family, there is my grandparents. My gran Jane and my papa Norman, they are the best grandparents I could ask for! 

My gran Jane is kind of creepy. She is identical to Camilla Parker-Bowles so I used to be scared of her as a child. Want proof? Sure! 



The image above is my gran and I in a restaurant in Windsor in January this year of 2014. And yes, every head turned in that restaurant! 



This is my papa Norman. He is an excellent photographer! No joke. He took this photo of me and I love it!



But that is most of my family summed up. My family mean everything to me and it's so assuring they only live 20 minutes away.
