London Life: Week 7 - The One When I Finally Made It To Brighton!

Week 7 complete and it was a pretty standard week. Not complaining, it flew just like every other week and it was extremely enjoyable, however it was a quite repetitive week, justing undergoing the usual errands and tasks. So I won't ramble on about that, I'll keep it simple and get down to the exciting bit, this weekend I finally made the trip to Brighton and I can safely I'll be returning. Such a beautiful town, keep scrolling for some pretty seaside pics from my Saturday!

Monday:

Embroidery sampling and a trip to the laser cutters

Tuesday: 

Embroidery, a trip to VV Rouleaux for grosgrain and to Kleins for boning, finished my embroidery piece and started a new one.

Wednesday: 

Embroidery, sourced gold card for laser cutting, a trip to forma leather, took some photos of a garment to be sent to a client and began sampling embroidery on smocked pieces.

Thursday: 

More embroidery sampling and collected fabric from Laurent Garigue, a supplier to some of the world's leading designers.

Friday:

Cleaned tortoise shell embellishments on a dress, unpacked printed tshirts and unpacked returns from a Hunger photoshoot followed by a night out in Shoreditch for a fellow intern's birthday.

Saturday: 

A day in Brighton with Stacey, Eimear and Hannah. A few hours spent on the pebble beach, followed by a stroll down the pier, through the arcade and refuelled a coin tipping addiction. Followed by a trip through The Lanes and we then returned to London.

Sunday: 

A long awaited trip to Madame Tussauds with Stacey. Plenty of photos were taken.

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
