Well move over and make some room for the latest beauty.






Jewellery by Vanya has created a gorgeous one, in a variety of colours, with lovely little charms and a tassel. I adore it and would have it in every colour if I could!!! Orange, Nude and Turquoise being my absolute favs!

Yet another new Internship... OFFICE

Hi Guys,  


Another apology needed for the lack of blogging lately, it has been a mad few weeks.


After hoping for the possibility of a job coming out of Instinct PR, but then being told that actually they were not in the situation to hire me, I was left devastated and back at square one! Back to applying for more internships and jobs.


I managed to get an interview with Tobie @ Office Press, as he had been told by Robyn @ InStyle that I was a hard worker and organised, which led to my latest placement. 


I am filling an intern/press assistant role, and am hoping that with even more experience under my belt, after 3 months I will be suitable for a paid role somewhere.


I am based in the Office Press Showroom in Covent Garden, and I absolutely love the atmosphere there. Neal's Yard is my favorite hideaway for a little salad and sunning when the weather is as nice as it has been! 


At Office I have been busy organizing shoes to go to different publications, as well as ensuring they all come back and are logged into the system correctly. I tidy the showroom and ensure all is looking it's best, as well as keeping on top of the shoes that get returned to the press cupboard. 



This cupboard is my home from home for the next few months, from her I email, call and organise the samples to be sent and returned. I love my little cubby hole.


I have to say so far so good but it's only the first week, lets hope it stays as fun and that I keep smiling! 


Don't forget  to share your smile!
Have fun and enjoy

Regal Rose...

If you have never heard of them... Where Have You Been Hiding?????


This delightful jewellery brand is run by twin sisters Rebecca and Louisa, and the fashion forward, funky but feminine jewellery is a must have for every aspiring fashionistas wardrobe.

I love their selection of eclectic cuff rings, and not to mention the extremely covetable locket necklaces. 


And to make them even more desirable, they are affordable!! 
How can we resist?!?!?

Instinct PR ...

So it turns out there is no job placement to fill. :( (feels sorry for self) 


But not to worry, keep smiling! 


I have been asked to stay on for one more week, and already have an interview scheduled next week, so the next part of my fashion career begins to unravel in front of me...


This interview will hopefully lead to another internship, from which I can gain even more PR experience and ultimately help me develop my knowledge so I can aim for a job!


It's all part and parcel of being a fashion graduate I suppose! Hopefully it will all fall in to place and I will work my butt off until I get a job.


Until then...


Smile.

A little bit more Instinct PR ...

So it is coming to the end of my 2 week scheduled internship with Instinct PR. I have been doing the day - to day jobs of a Press assistant/officer, and have really enjoyed my time here.


I will be sitting down with the team tomorrow and discussing the future, which could lead to a number of things:


*Staying on as an intern for a bit longer
*Looking elsewhere for other intern/job opportunities
*OR (the one I am most hoping for) getting offered a permanent placement on the team.


Fingers crossed for me please!


I really like the people I work with here, and love the mixture of responsibility, hard work and fun.
The more time I have spent here, the more I have adapted to the way they work and I feel like I am now in sync with the team, knowing what to do when I am left to my own devises.


Let's hope it all works out for the best.


Don't forget to share a smile and keep checking in for the news, whatever it may be!

The Graduation Day!!!

It finally arrived...


It was a super early start, as we had to get from home to Kent for 8:30 am. I got up early, washed my hair, and did all the usual girly things to get ready, prepping for the big day! 


I had searched high and low for the perfect dress and after changing my mind on a few dresses I opted for one that was slightly different, but colours that would go with my graduation robe and hood.





I was really happy and comfortable in my dress so felt confident on the day. I was also extremely impressed with all the other girls outfits who looked suitably gorgeous. And despite the initial fear, NO-ONE wore the same outfit! OR fell over during the ceremony!!!! Thank our lucky stars. 

A MASSIVE thanks to everyone for their support, and all the staff at UCA Rochester who made the course so enjoyable! 



It was so nice spending time with family and friends who were all so proud! We spent a lovely evening at the fabulous little restaurant in the old town Hemel Hempstead; Restaurant 65. I got to eat great food, drink great wine, and champagne and spend it with my nearest and dearest! PERFECT.


Me and my Pal Sarah got too see each other again after not seeing her for a while, so that too was very good! She looked lovely as ever!  








The day turned out to be beautiful, which helped with the picture taking, and also the after ceremony drinks and BBQ that was put on by the University. Very tasty!!! 


Let me know what you think of my dress, and if you graduated what you wore!!! 


Share a smile and be happy,


Enjoy

Tomorrow is the big day!!!!

Helllloooo...


So far Instinct PR has been great! the people = Fab, the clients = Fab, just Fab Fab Fab.


I had a reasonably calm weekend, visiting the local moor, for mini festival "Music on the Moor", which show cases local bands and with good weather, which we were lucky enough to have (most of the time), it is a brilliant excuse for a knees up! 


I had a good laugh and chilled out with friends and family, which I love. 


On another note... Tomorrow, I graduate!!!!!! 


Scary, it has come round so fast! But that will truly be it! The end of my education, although you never truly stop learning. 


I am really looking forward to the day, catching up with friends and collecting my degree. And then spending the evening with the people closets to be for celebratory dinner and drinks...


I'll blog a few pics of me in all the gear to so keep your eyes peeled for an update! 


Smile...
