INTERNING AT LONDON FASHION WEEK

Whilst London Fashion Week happened way back in September, for me it is still fresh in my mind. Not only because of the fabulous clothes that were being showcased, but because for the first time ever I was actually there! (Yes, you read that right). I was actually in attendance at two of the coolest shows at LFW: Peter Pilotto and Ashley Williams.

Now whilst I wasn't lucky enough to be a seated guest at the shows, I got the amazing opportunity to intern at both. I worked at a PR company in the build up to both shows, going around London delivering invites to all the VIPs, and greeted and seated the guests at the shows, held at the new Brewer Street location. 

TALES OF A FASHION PR INTERN

Hello again lovely readers! I must once again apologise for my long blogging absence, but I can assure you it was for good reason (I would never abandon my readers without one). So what is it that has kept me away from blogging for the past two months? Interning. Last Friday was my last day of my press internship with Impulse PR, a fabulous fashion PR agency based in London specialising in jewellery and accessories. I can tell you, for someone who's jewellery collection consists almost entirely of Freedom at Topshop, (which is a client of Impulse), there was no better place for me to intern.

JUNE WISHLIST

Even if you don't know me, I like to think that by just looking at this mish-mash collection of items you can get a sense of my personal style. I'm not particularly girly, tending to stay away from a lot of colour and pattern.

MET GALA 2015 | CELEB STYLE

The Met Gala is easily the event where celebrities go all out with their outfits. It's the one chance a year that your fave celebs wear the craziest clothing and it deemed acceptable. Whilst there were some questionable outfit choices at last nights event, I am going to focus on my best dressed! So here we go...

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is showing of her AMAZE figure in this stunning Atelier Versace dress. If her ensemble wasn't sexy enough, she paired her look with slicked back hair and a dark lip. Round of applause for RHW? I think so.

BRITISH FASHION AWARDS 2014 | CELEB STYLE

The annual British Fashion Awards took place at the London Coliseum last night and the style stars were out in force. In attendance were designers, models, editors - basically every influential person in the fashion industry.  As you'd expect, there was not only a fierce fight amongst the celebs to win the awards, but also to win the crown of best dressed on the red carpet. Luckily, I'm here to give my verdict on the ensembles from the night...
Cara Delevingne won model of the year wearing this stunning Burberry gown with Christian Louboutin heels. Gorgeous.

THE LIFE OF A FASHION INTERN

Oh why hello there, haven't seen you in a while. I think it's about time we had a good catch up isn't it?
Back in September I had one of the best experiences of my life. My dream of having work experience at a magazine finally came to fruition... Waking up at what seemed like the crack of dawn for a teenager (but in reality was 7am, a pretty reasonable time for most), I scrambled to find my most "fashionable" outfit. I then made the short trip to my local train station and headed for London Paddington.  The moment I stepped off the train, the typical London public transport chaos ensued but I kept a cool and level head as I made haste for the Bakerloo Line. Getting off at Oxford Circus I switched lines to Central. I was one stop away. Tottenham Court Road. The hour and a half journey had flown by and standing outside the big glass doors of Bauer Media, inside awaited my fashion and beauty work experience placement at Heat magazine.  

ST. TROPEZ DIOR HOUSE | TRAVEL

A few weeks ago I went on a family holiday to St Tropez in the south of France. Not only is St Tropez famous for it's amazing beaches and boats that fill the harbour, it is also renowned for it's designer shopping stores. One such store is the Dior House.

THE GLAMOUR OF ITALIAN FASHION

Walking through the large glass doors you are immediately presented with what seems like a traditional Italian marble wall. On the wall reads the words: THE GLAMOUR OF ITALIAN FASHION.


Last week, I attended The Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition at the V&A Museum, which ended sadly yesterday. The exhibition showcased fashions by designers including Pucci, Sorelle Fontana, Valentino, Gucci, Missoni, and Giorgio Armani, spread across 5 sections: Return to Luxury, Tailoring, Made in Italy, Cult of the Fashion Designer, and Italian's Fashion Future.

SUMMER SOLSTICE | OOTD

My first outfit of the day on ANNA IN VENTURE is finally here! Saturday 21st June was the longest day of the year, a.k.a. the summer solstice, and in honour of that day I decided to dress in my most summery outfit of the year so far.

PRADASPHERE AT HARRODS

A few weeks ago, on Monday 26th May, I visited the Pradasphere exhibition at Harrods in London. 

On the 4th floor of this world famous department store, was a Prada inspired paradise, with clothes, shoes, books, and images everywhere. It was like a mini museum tucked away in the maze that is Harrods. 

The exhibition was arranged in six zones: Origins, Evolution, Typologies, Specimens, Construction and Observations.
