I'm sure you'll all be deeply saddened to hear that my time as a fashion intern has come to an end... although on a more positive note I'm back in Newcastle & reunited with my partner in crime Bex aka Grace! This can only mean one thing; there will be some fantabulous posts coming very soon from Alice and Grace! (I can almost hear the cheers from here...).
As sad as I am that I'm no longer living the high life in London (did I mention I met Gok Wan?) part of me is actually relieved. Shock horror! Interning is extremely hard work & I recommend really thinking about whether you're ready to committing to the work load before applying. If you get a bad reputation in one magazine or newspaper it can make it ridiculously hard to get another internship within the same media company.
However (and that's a big however), I haven't been put off of my dream career in the process of this blood, sweat & tears regime...okay, there was no blood. But in all seriousness it's taught me a lot about the industry & the amount of work that goes into a magazine. Something I admittedly never thought of when I picked up a copy of Look in my local Tescos every week.
For all you keen bean supporters (I know you're out there somewhere...) if you pick up this weeks copy of Look & flip to the High Street Catwalk page then look at the teeny weeny credits down the right hand side you will see yours truly! That's right, I dressed those lovely ladies & enjoyed every single second of it.
I'm famous!! (In the small print world...).
