Aaaaand i'm back! Apologies all, for my brief hiatus, i've just been having far too much fun as of late, so my blog has been sitting on the back burner for a little while. Forgive me pleaseee!!
The last you heard from me, I was absolutely loving life, after finishing my first year at university and just a few hours away from jetting off to Croatia for a much needed break in the lavely sunshine! Don't worry, I will be bombarding you with lots of photographs of my trip very very soon.
However, this post is dedicated to another one of my recent adventures, a two week stint in London Town and oh, was it a treat. I took on the role as an intern for the first time, and after hearing so many negative comments around internships in the fashion industry, it's safe to say that I was more than apprehensive about it. What was I thinking?! It was bloody fantastic!
I spent my time working with the fashion, ecommerce app THE EDIT. If you haven't heard of them before, then get downloading!!! And no, I'm not just saying this because I loved my time with the amazing team and I maaay be only ever so slightly biased hehe! But seriously, the concept behind the brand is so unique, something I'd never come across before. You can shop all of your favourite clothes, shoes and accessories from across 300 brands, how can you fault it! And, with the additional option to filter down your search, you can browse everything all at once with a Tinder style swipe functionality.
While working with the brand, I was given lots of different roles, from graphic design work, all the way to social media, and although it was all new to me, I found it exciting but also challenging when it came to putting my skills into action. My first brief given to me was to re brand the parent company that powers THE EDIT, this involved me re creating the brand logo and coming up with a new brand name. Aaaah, daunting or what? But I managed it, and everyone seemed to love my work, which was such an accomplishment for me. Who said fashion interns only make coffee?
I can't thank the team at THE EDIT enough for everything they did to make me feel comfortable and useful, the skills I developed in the work place and just through living in London for such a brief time, are more than I could ever have imagined I'd gain. I mean, I did sleep on a sofa for two weeks, so it's definitely fair to say I toughed it out but I would do it all again and twice over, for sure.
Now, I urge all of you fashion lovers out there, to get downloading here and definitely make sure you're following THE EDIT on Instagram, Twitter & Pinterest, for all the latest fashion updates and daily edits, selected perfectly for the current trends of the season.
Thank you so much THE EDIT, lotsa love for you!
