It's Christmas!!!

So it's becoming really difficult to be as active as I would like on 'Taylor Made' with everything going on at the moment, but I had to make an exception as it's the 1st of December and its officially CHRISTMAS season!!

November came to a close with the submission of our 10 week Interior Project, that I discussed in the last post. My idea developed a lot since then, to a more refined contemporary collection with an earthy and natural colour story. I stuck to my farm inspired theme, incorporating milk canisters, cows, hens, sheep and cats. Here are some visualisations of my final 6 prints for my interior collection entitled 'The Scullery'.









The project was submitted at 9.30am on Friday the 28th of November, leaving us with the rest of the day to ourselves. Friday the 28th was conveniently 'Black Friday' too, so we felt we definitely deserved a treat or two. I've had a few things on my Wardrobe Wish list for quite a while now and I felt Black Friday was the day they would finally be ticked off.


First purchase: I had no intentions of buying a top like this, but as soon as I seen it, I couldn't walk away. 'Don't Worry Be Yoncé' possibly my favourite top, right now. Found this treasure in Wunderboxx, the coolest little store in George's St Arcade, Dublin 2. Have a look at the rest of their stuff at www.wunderboxx.ie a great place to find the perfect gift for yourself as well as your friends and family!

Second Purchase: A Khaki Parka. I've been looking for a Khaki Parka for months and I finally found the perfect one. After searching through Topman and River Island and not being overly impressed, I found this beauty in H&M, priced at €59.99 with 15% off for Black Friday, reducing it to €50.99. A great investment, extremely cosy, lots of a pockets and a removable fur rim on the hood.





 Third Purchase: This was the second thing on my Wish List that I'd be looking for, for ages. I found it in River Island at €40, unfortunately there was no Black Friday discount in store but there was online. So when I came home I ordered it online with 20% off, reducing it to €32 and then I chose to get it delivered to RI Store for free, instead of paying for delivery.

I had my first shift in Office, Henry St. over the weekend too, the Christmas rush has well and truly began. So glad to be back working again. The Christmas buzz around town is amazing, feeling so festive now. Still haven't started my Christmas shopping though aaagh!

24 sleeps til Christmas... let the Christmas songs commence!

As always, feedback welcomed, feel free to follow and share!
Thanks,

London Life | The Official Move

Image
Over my past few internships in London, I've posted a series of 'London Life' blog posts.. so it seems fitting to resume with the series, now that I've moved back (long-term!!) It's been nearly a month since you guys have heard from me (apologies), but I swear I have been super busy! Currently in my sixth week working for ROKSANDA and living in London and I'm absolutely loving it... With everything happening so fast, in terms of getting offered the job and moving, I didn't really have an option, other than to dive in head first and make the most of it. I arrived in London on Friday, the 31st of March, moved into my new flat on the 1st of April and started working on Monday the 3rd. I've been so fortunate that I ended up living with two amazing girls, both so sweet and welcoming and have truly made the transition so much easier. Similarly, I'm so grateful for the incredible team that I get to work with every day

Paris & London | A Month of Madness

Image
The last you guys heard, I was in London for Fashion Week, well oh how things have changed... PARIS SHOWROOM Following London, I was at home for a week, before flying to Paris on the 28th of February for the ROKSANDA AW17 Sales week. I arrived in on the Tuesday night, just in time to finish out Pancake Tuesday with Katie and I had the next day to chill before starting the week in the showroom from the 2nd-10th of March. It was a great (albeit hectic) week, doing anything from teas and coffees, to dressing the models, merchandising and greeting clients. Half way through the week in the showroom (6th of March to be precise), I had a follow up chat with Carmela the CEO, re: the interview I had in the ROKSANDA Head Office, back in February when I was in London *drum Roll please* and I got offered the job as Office Manager at ROKSANDA in London. To say that I was elated, would be an understatement, it didn't feel real, the thought of a permanent paid position in a high
