about me
On my first day of Journalism School the tutor asked my class what we hoped to do with our Diploma in the future. Most of my classmates wanted to write for a local or national newspaper, reporting on crime, politics and travel. When my turn was up I boldly told my peers: “I want to be the Editor of Vogue magazine”.
The class laughed, but I didn’t mind. I felt like a 6-year-old again, telling my friends ‘what I want to be when I grow up’, like some sort of dream from my wildest imagination. While it may happen in another lifetime I will never lose sight of that dream, it will always be shimmering in the distance like a mirage.
In the ‘real world’, I have a passion for fashion and styling that is bordering on a serious obsession. I think about fashion all day long, lay awake at night going through what outfits I have {and wish I had} and where I will wear them, I plan my summer wardrobe at the start of winter and arrange my closet in a strict, categorized manner {coats, leather, furs, blazers, vintage, day dresses, party dresses, skirts, shorts, pants, jeans, scarves and belts … IN. THAT. ORDER}. My best friend {Glam} and I email each other 20 times a day to share our latest inspirations, purchases and outfit ideas.
Writing about fashion and beauty allows me to combine two passions of mine – what could be better? I am well aware that many people go through life doing things that they don’t actually enjoy doing, so I feel very blessed to have found my true passion in life. Keki and Glam is an extension of that – a way for me to share my obsessions and inspirations with the world, as well as being a personal style diary to chronicle my daily looks.
When I am not obsessing over new-ways-to-style-an-old-outfit, scrolling through the many style blogs I religiously follow or attempting to fishtail braid my hair, I can be found enjoying the beach in one way or another {surfing, windsurfing, swimming or walking}; hanging out with the love of my life, my friends or my family; horse riding; or heading off on an adventure of some sort. I plan to showcase a little bit of my “life outside of my fashion obsession” on the blog from time to time, just to keep things interesting.
I hope you enjoy reading Keki and Glam as much as I enjoy writing it. If you are interested in working together {writing or styling}; sending press releases; sponsoring the blog or advertising on it; OR you have a FAB idea for Keki and Glam please do not hesitate to contact me: kerrie.felton@gmail.com.
Best,
Kerrie

Keki and Glam 
Kerrie, I absolutely love your ambition & your determination, I really, really admire that you are pursuing what you love with gusto and doing what you can to achieve your dream! I’m absolutely passionate about fashion too & have wanted to work in the industry for so long. Now that I do, I too feel so blessed to be doing what I love everyday!
Absolutely love the blog & how well your personality comes across in your writing – makes me want to keep coming back!
Good luck & stay stylish,
The Image Mistress, xoxo
Thank you SO much! That comment absolutely made my day, I cannot tell you how much it means to me!
Fashion certainly is a hard industry to break into but I feel like once you’re in there, all the hard work and perseverance immediately pays off – I mean, we wouldn’t all pursue it so intensely if we didn’t love it this much so getting a foot in the door is like a huge reward or bonus really! It is inspiring to hear that you love working in the industry and that you are so passionate about it – I love reading other people’s stories about how they broke into the fashion world and what it’s like now that they are ‘in there’!
Thank you for reading and I do hope you keep coming back! There will be some exciting things in store for Keki and Glam in the New Year that’s for sure! I have just had a read of your blog and love it. Very inspirational and so many amazing tips and tricks in there – it will definitely be a regular read for me.
Thank you once again, your comments have really put a smile on my dial! And given me the motivation to keep going with the blog and my dreams of working in the fashion industry.
Best
Kerrie Xx
