The Bite Magazine - Spring 2019 - Issue 24

bite influencer UK, and cities throughout the US to name a few. I want whomever I reach to feel inspired by my fashion, health choices, and to travel more. I’d like them to become more cultured [through my blog] because not only do you learn more about other countries and their customs, but you learn so much about yourself in the process.” It therefore goes without saying, given her glob- al-reach that this chic woman loves to travel! “My favourite place to visit? That’s a hard one! My top… London. Absolutely love London! The people, the fashion; just everything about London just feels good and I’ve been so many times I know how to take the Piccadilly line without using my Google Maps! My other top place that I’ve travelled to has to be Jamaica. The culture, the food, the hospitality, the music, the beach! My spirit never felt more alive! It is truly a magical place that I can’t wait to frequent more often! Coming up, though, I have a Japan trip that I leave for at the end of the week, so I am super geeked for that one! I have a feeling that’s going to be epic!” Aside from travelling, Michelle’s also focuses on fash- ion, beauty and fitness, as stated. Her personal style is one to truly be envied, as she’s, in my humble opinion, one of those crazy lucky people who can make some- thing boring and basic look amazing by arranging it with on-trend and classic pieces and accessories for a one-of-kind, killer look that not just anyone could ever hope to pull off. “I do style/do my own make-up myself for all of the photos you see on my website and social media,” she said, “and I would definitely like to start branching out and collaborate more with other creatives in the styling and make-up artistry field! My favourite thing about beauty and fashion is that you have the artistic freedom to be yourself. It’s fun to play around with and experiment with different looks! Some of my best days doing my make-up and getting dressed are when I don’t care as much to have it perfect. I just need to get it done and go. Those are the times when I receive the most compliments. I have a strong love for fashion so I really just enjoy playing with different pieces and showing my artistic freedom with the pieces I wear! I decide what to wear the same day based on how I feel! I’ve never been the type to pick out my outfits the night before.” It’s amazing to think this wildly busy woman can keep everything as well-organised (let alone produce such fun and interesting content with such a busy work- load) as she does, but balanced and keenly focused everything always appears. So, what’s ahead for this budding model, social media fashion-maven and photographer extraordinaire? Why, international domination, of course! No, maybe not domination, but surely, she’ll be continuing to expand her reach to enthuse and excite an even bigger audience. “My hopes for my blog are for it to continue to reach as many people as possible and to inspire them, fuel their creativity when they read my work. To aspiring models, bloggers, actors, models, my key advice is never stop chasing your dreams. Don’t put a time clock on your success and never compare yourself to anyone! Everyone has a journey that they’re going through and everyone’s journey is different. Focus on yours, and put in the work, because soon you’ll see the fruits of your labour. It’s never too late to start anything, if you feel you have a passion for something then I say do it!” It’s funny to think, really, but Miss Elle Michelle is so aptly named, because despite her success, she’s ex- tremely grounded, centred and humble. She seems to be one of those truly unique people who have no idea how nice they really are, and in this industry, when ‘filters’ are the norm, and there’s no telling what and who’s really real, it’s enlightening to think there’s still someone genuinely pretty out there fighting the good fight for us all. www.iamellemichelle.com “Captivating hearts; Fuelling creativity; Inspiring all to live with purpose; One post at a time!” Living Her Dream
