E! Host by Day – Bridget Jones’ Baby

Today marks a year on from finding out I was potentially going to be the first ever E! UK & Ireland Host, so with this in mind, I thought it was a great opportunity to share something a little different with you today!

Monday was the World premiere of Bridget Jones’ Baby in London’s Leicester Square and whilst the A-List were busy making their way through hundreds of fan autographs I was rocking a pretty little dress and my favourite accessory, the E! mic on the carpet waiting to chat to them about the latest instalment of the classic franchise.

I was lucky enough to have a giggle with all the main cast members, the highlight, of course being Mr McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey!! I also chatted to Years & Years who are on the soundtrack to the film which was a MAJOR fangirl moment!!

You can watch all my interviews from both the sit down chats with the main cast and the glitzy glamour of the red carpet on @eonlineuk here.

I always want my blog to remain and fashion and travel hub, somewhat of a hobby to stand side by side with presenting career but I think a premiere is the perfect event to also capture here on Clutch & Carry-On. The fashion steaks are always sky high and I love dressing up for the occasion! For Monday, I was kindly dressed head to toe in Luisa Via Roma, my dress is Self Portrait here, shoes Jimmy Choo here and bag Valentino here.

You can shop the whole look here:

I am so lucky to be able to share another side of my life with you on here and I would love to be able to show you even more of my on-screen journey, if you are up for reading all about it 😉

It can be very tough to remain true to yourself in an industry that is so image focused and as a part-time blogger alongside being the host of E! UK I constantly find myself torn between my social media and personal life. I am so easily inspired by influencers and presenters alike and I have so often been caught up in the blogging world, trying to make my social feeds ‘flow’, taking certain styles of photos, wearing particular outfits etc and I am finally at a place where I am able to fully separate and focus on myself as a person, I dare even say as a brand. I am not too fussed if my instagram is all over the place as long as my personality and process is being captured. It’s something I have to remind myself of daily. Being a creative can be a tiring job sometimes, there’s always so many factors an thoughts that go into one teeny little thing, my brain fries on a daily basis so this small gesture of being true to myself has really helped me over the past few weeks and I strongly urge anyone in a similar vocation to follow suit.

Rather than worrying about what colours I can capture with my photography and which brands have asked me to work with them, I am happy to have been able to refocus my mind and remind myself of my own personal path and journey and do you know what, I feel pretty awesome about it! I am not trying to be anything or anyone other than myself, as tough as that can be.

I know blog posts like these can come across as quite self-centred but I love reading articles like these myself and I can often see resemblances and relate to their words which for me would be so touching to be able to reciprocate.

I have, before, written posts and then followed my words with advice but reading as often as I do I think it’s actually best to share your own words as opposed to dishing out unqualified advice and just hope that there’s a handful of people out there that are touched by your own journey.

Deep conversation and life clarification aside (insert crying laughter emoji) I had such a blast on the Pink Carpet and I felt amazing in my look – it has definitely got me in the mood for Fashion Week on Friday, oh the glitz and the glam, bring it on!!

I document the majority of my day to day on snapchat so please come and join the party! My snapchat username is sabrina.chakici – send me a snap message to let me know you’ve read today’s post, it’s my favourite way to interact with you all 🙂
