Intern - Ups and downs

So I finished at Ralphs for now and recently everything has been hectic! Just the way I like it. After a couple of weeks of being stuck in a rut I manged to get a few Interviews. I literally applied EVERYWHERE. However only a few responded and most of the time when I conversed with them, the companies either didn't cover expenses or only covered within London (£29 a week) which was something I couldn't afford.

So things started looking brighter as I got an interview with Premier Model Management, you know, 'The Model Agency' they got filmed for a documentry. I was pretty excited as I thought it would be pretty cool and a good insite to the other side of the fashion industry, it seemed like a busy lifestyle and something I could uphold. I turned up for my interview and Leomie Anderson (new face with big things a head of her) was outside with some film crew. Obviously a bit intimidating as the room was big white and spacious just like on the tv with everyone working hard and being all cool and stylish. The interview was pretty brief and the girl was nice, lasted about 5 minutes and was told I'd found out if I got the job on Friday. Unfortunately I didn't hear from them so back I was to finding a new internship.

Soon I had a reply for a showroom called Rainbow Wave who deal with all the buyers who want to stock their designers such as Carven, Mario Schwab, J Brand, J.W.Anderson and more. I went for the interview and I think it went pretty good and I go for a trial day soon and see if I like it etc.

Since then I've been to London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week which was incredible, lots of fun. Manish Arora was by far my favourite show as he is one of my favourite fashion designers and never fails to excite me with his inspiring ideas.Tiring with a lot of shows to attend however it well worth it and fitted lots of cocktails and shopping in between. As you can probably see...

Me and Jemima doing our thangggg,  I'm pretty much tipsy or taking the piss and having a shit load of fun!

Be on point this season - Splurge, Spend or Save

Pointed heels are a must have this summer. Last season it's all been about the chunky block heel but now its about elegance. The pointed shoe gives your feet that slimming shape and show off those dainty ankles, although they might not be the most comfortable style of shoes, they are the most sophisticated. With a stiletto heel make sure you practice walking and break in the shoes before tottering around the fashion weeks which are soon to commence.

Thrifty Tip: Take a look in charity shops, those old grannys out there wore fabulous pointed shoes and buying them would be a bargain and also helping those less fortunate. Everybody's happy!
