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.

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.
