STATEN ISLAND FERRY & BATTERY PARK | NEW YORK PHOTO DIARY DAY #2

So here it is people - day two of my New York adventure! We started the day off by heading down-town on the subway to catch the Staten Island ferry. It's a shame the ferry doesn't go closer to the Statue of Liberty, but luckily my camera has a pretty good zoom lens so I was able to get some good shots. I love how you can see right up the Hudson river and see NYC on one side and New Jersey on the other, and then if you turn the other way, you can see Brooklyn. 

Me and friends couldn't resist getting a Starbucks and slice of pizza for lunch. When in New York...
 
Afterwards, we headed to Battery Park which had some beautiful memorials and a beautiful view of the river with the Statue of Liberty in the background.

TIMES SQUARE | NEW YORK PHOTO DIARY DAY #1

Let me just get out of the way now: Sorry for my recent blogging absence of late everyone! And hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year!

Now that's done, I've got some exciting things to share with you.. you ready?!

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to travel to NYC with my university. Now it would be a definite understatement to say that I fell in love with this place just a little bit. 

So I thought, I'd give you a little insight into what I got up to in my short six days there. So here is my New York photo diary - enjoy!

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.
