In my placement recently I got the most fantastic opportunity of helping out with some PR for a shoe company called CocoRose London.
I had never heard of the company before and was intrigued as to what it had to offer but was pleasantly surprised…
…CocoRose London helps (us) damsels in distress with aching feet from ‘those’ over expensive stylish stilettos. CocoRose London simply saves our day.
The company had developed a collection of glamorous foldable flats
The method is simple, when your out and about (if it’s walking to work or even partying the night away) and your heels are killing you then simply pull out the foldable flats from your handbag. With a leather purse for the foldable flats to fit into, it is small enough enough to fit into ‘the average’ woman’s handbag.
I was rather surprised of my discovery that the leather purse folds out into a large chic bag to carrier your other killer heels in.
I think CocoRose London’s concept is fantastic. I for one is a constant victim of the killer heels when out and about. I think it’s a brilliant idea that someone has come up with the idea of rescuing us without having to ruin our night.
After my discovery of CocoRose London I was looking forward to helping out with PR tasks on my work placement – it made it that more enjoyable.
I’ve already recommened a pair of foldable flats to my girlies and they love them!
If you want to see what CocoRose London has to offer then visit www.cocoroselondon and browse their online boutique.
You’ll never have an excuse not to party hard anymore!
Let me know what you think of CocoRose London’s collection and if you would wear any of the foldable flats yourself.
Much love,
Franky

The Sun Has Got His Hat On?
Summer is just around the corner and I cannot wait! We have had some ‘nice day’s’ at the moment but I can’t wait for Mr. Sunshine to come!
The thing I love about summer so much is that the weather puts everyone in such a good mood that makes everyone else in their company in a good mood…
…I can’t wait to hunt out my ‘summer gear’ from the back of my wardrobe – it’s been to long!
The smell of sun cream and BBQ’s is long over due and we’re all in need of some healthy rays, so bring on the sun!
I think the rainy weather is the reason why us Brits moan a lot! Mean of me to say, I know, but, we would have nothing to complain about if the weather was like it is in Italy! We would never have to wait for a bus as we would walk (so no complaining there….) basically I just believe everyone would be in such a jolly good mood when it’s a nice day outside.
Don’t you agree?!

Work Placement
As you may be aware I am in my 2nd year of study at Sunderland, hence the reason why I’m writing this blog as part of my Social Media module. I had the most fantastic opportunity of recently being able to go on placement in a real public relations agency – it was fantastic!
The agency was near to where I lived back at home which meant I could get there easily. I didn’t know what to expect so I made sure I went in with an open mind!
My placement only lasted for a week but gave me enough time to give me an insight into what I really thought it would be like.
I met some lovely people who were passionate in what they were doing and they made my time at the work placement that more enjoyable.
Surprisingly, I learnt a lot from the 1 week that I was there, with the tasks that has been given to me. I got the most amazing task of helping out a shoe company by doing some PR for them; the company was called CocoRose London – which I immediately fell in love with. Girls + Shoes = Sheer Heaven.
I would say that working in a public relations agency has not changed my opinion, if anything it’s made more passionate about working in this sector when I graduate.
Have you been on work placement or work experience? If so, how did it go? My experience may be different to yours and I’d be happy to read.
Much love,

Drugs, Schmugs...
Thought I would dedicate my next post to Drugs – (just ask Frank Gallagher) I am well aware that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, “..It’s a free country, we can do what we want...” Blah blah blaaah...But I can’t stand them!
I’m on about the illegal kind, not the kind you get from your local chemist when your feeling a tad under the weather.
It really irritates me when I’m out with my girlies to see someone tripping off their head on Cocaine and even Ecstasy. Why can’t those people enjoy their night out on booze? Do they need that extra ‘kick’ to make their night more worthwhile? I’m quite happy to have a few alcoholic tipples and never have the need to touch the ‘stuff’..
..The thing that annoys me the most is that drugs these days are so easy to get hold of. If wanted to get the ‘stuff’ I would know exactly where and who to go to – this I absolutely hate.
When I saw the rats of society or otherwise known as ‘closet basers’ it makes me sick to know that I’m sharing my space with them. I can’t understand why they feel the need to use or take or whatever it is these people do. I'd rather have a night that I can remember thanks!
Please let me know what you think about this topic. What do you think about drugs? Do you know anyone that takes/uses drugs? I'd be happy to know what you think.
Thanks for reading, Franky.

Ps: As the Verve would say; 'The Drugs Don't Work'...

..Chris Moyles - THE Legend...
I don’t know what it is, but I’m a huge fan of Chris Moyles. A lot of people think his humour is arrogant, not needed and too negative but I think it’s hilarious especially when he gets away with it.
Chris is well known for increasing the morning’s audience on Radio 1, which is now estimated at around 6.5 million listeners.
I first started listened to him a few years ago when I was getting ready for school and ever since then I’ve been an avid listener! To be honest, I couldn’t care what sort of music was playing – It's the fact that I’m waking up to the ‘Chris Moyles' Show’ in the morning that makes my morning that bit more entertaining.
He’s been in the media a few times over ‘slagging off’ of celebrities such as Will Young and Girls Aloud’s Nicola, to name a few. Personally, if I were them, I’d take it with a pinch of salt. People have complained over this, saying that what he says is just not needed, I do agree with them to some extent but the majority of his comments I do find amusing.
Although he finds amusement in ‘slagging’ celebrities off, he does find time to ‘slag’ himself off, even on air; this I like. That the fact that he’s not that interested in his appearance makes him more entertaining and I’m willing to listen to what he has to say.
He was recently in the media for climbing up Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief; the money raised in this climb went straight to Comic Relief and came to a total of £1.6 million – the documentary was fantastic to watch and quite emotional at times.
I have to admit, I religiously listen to The Chris Moyles Show in the Morning, every morning! There’s just something about the show that I love – It’s not routine, nothings every normal! The content is fantastic, I love the ‘Jingles’ used, they hardly make sense but are hilarious all the same…
..Anyway I’m going to leave this for now, before I rant on too much and become a blogger-like-stalker!
Much Love, Franky.

I'm addicted to Friends...
I don’t know what it is but I’m completely addicted to the American comedy series – Friends! I couldn’t care less how many times I’ve seen that ‘the one with…’ episode; I’m still going to watch it over and over again!
You’ve all got to admit it, your all fans too, you’re just in the closet. I don’t understand the people who say they ‘hate’ Friends or just ‘don’t get the humour’ I’m sure there too scared to admit their addiction at the moment.
I must also admit that I am one of those annoying people that will know the script word for word and will not be ashamed to say it – just to irritate the people in the room watching it with me!
I’ve just bought ‘the one with all ten series’ and must admit that it is probably the best purchase ever! No, I don’t regret going into my overdraft to get it, it was definitely an impulse buy!
I think the content of every episode is hilarious and never fails to entertain me. The relationship and comedy timing between the characters is fantastic. I feel like I know them all inside out: Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross (the legend) and Joey.
I remember being introduced to Friends years ago by my buddy Miss. Beck; she’s one of the many that’s always been a fan. To be honest though, I didn’t think too much of it at first as I had never watched an American comedy before. But after a few episodes I was an avid fan.
I’m not saying devote your life to the series but just give an episode a go. The humour definitely cracks me up when I’m feeling down and will do the same to you if you’re ever in that position. So give an episode a go, you never know you might become an ‘addict’ like me!
Thanks,
Franky,

Ps: Series 10 with the out-takes is hilarious!

Forever Friends...
Recently I’ve been thinking so much about my wonderful buddies back at home, that I thought I would dedicate my next post to them, they all know who they are – too many girlies to name!
We’ve always been pretty close me and my friends and have known each other since day dot. We know everything about each other and most of all we were and still are always there for each other.
I’ll never forget the day when we all started going our separate ways…you girls know what I mean: when boys start coming into the picture, everyone starts having their own independent social life with the ‘current’ boyfriend and work (jobs and school) starts taking over, you don’t have time to meet up as often anymore. At first I was upset when you arrange to meet up with one of your other half’s to find that they have ditched you for the latest squeeze. It did take me some time to get over this, but hey, it’s all part of growing up and all that jazz..
..The thing I love about being so independent these days is that no matter how long it’s been before you see your best bud you always click straight away. There’s no awkwardness. Just pure friendship!
It makes me giggly when we’re together in our own little world, we really don’t care! It’s as if we’re talking a different language that the people around us just don’t understand! That, I love.
I’d love to go back in time and see the what we got up to, all the ‘bitchy drama’s’ we had going on in our lives at that time. It would be awesome (minus the dodgy hair cuts and school uniform..)
What I basically want to say is that, who are we if we don’t have our friends in our life? It makes me think that if they weren’t in my life I wouldn’t be half the person that I am today and it’s all thanks to them. My friends are fantastic people and couldn’t have met a nicer (sometimes crazier) bunch if I tried!
Much Love Franky,

Scientiam Dulce Hauriens...
Sweetly Absorbing Knowledge...
Some of my friends back home decided not to go to University and have got a decent full time job. I hate this. Every time I go back home (which is most weekends!) I envy their steady income and private banter with other non-university friends.
A lot of people that know me will be aware that I am true home bird – and this had very much increased over the past 6 months. I don’t know what it is, but I love going home!
Don’t get me wrong I love being at University, It’s changed me so much as a person and the people here are fantastic. I guess I have the home-sickness bug. I can’t wait for the day I graduate – starting employment, earning a steady income like my fellow friends and having an incredible career I’ll be passionate about.
I know my degree is well worth it, it’s definitely the sector I’ll be working in when I graduate. As many people have told me in the past, it’s not just the degree that matters it’s the whole university experience. If anyone reading this is contemplating going to university I highly recommend it, it’s changed my life on so many different levels.
But for now, I just wanted to say to anyone out there that no matter how tough things are at times keep going, do yourself proud and you will feel so much better after it’s all over – I know I will.
Thanks,
Franky.

Herbal Essences isn't so "Fruity" after all...
I have been a fan of the Herbal Essences products for many years now and I was infuriated to recently find out that the company does in fact practise animal testing on their products.
