The Hierarchy of Fashion Intern Footwear

Fashion Intern Footwear - What should you wear when?!

I noticed whilst interning, that the footwear much like the hierarchy of the fashion world worked upwards; we're talking heel height, designer and style of shoe. Obviously anyone is free to wear pretty much anything on their feet, whatever their role within the company. There aren't any 'written rules' to say otherwise, but the shoes you wear on your feet pretty much display the kind of job role you have; whether practical from the 'run-around' interns in trainers and flats, right up to the fashion editors who wear anything from skyscraper Givenchy heels right through to New Balance trainers.
I have noticed this with my own footwear, how it has developed over my (very short) fashion career, and most obviously how the shoes I wear reflect the jobs I would be doing that day. I have mentioned this briefly in my previous Fashion Intern Advice articles, but this time i'm taking it one step further; showing you what shoes you should wear when. Sounds obvious right? Trust me i've seen plenty of interns shifting heavy suitcases in heels. (Yeah I know what you're thinking, they probably cried themselves to sleep that night!) So here we go my 'Hierarchy of Fashion Intern Footwear'...

Fashion Blogger Q&A

Hello everyone!

As many of you may have noticed, i've been quite absent from my blog recently. The new year as brought new opportunities and a bigger work load. I had to take some time out from blogging to focus on my career at ASOS and producing more work for iKrush.com.
I have missed blogging very much, I've also missed looking at all of your blogs, and honestly i've been feeling a little uninspired recently. I know i'm not the only one who goes through a dry spell with blogging (many of us have been through it) - But i'm back, and i'm ready to give you guys lots of content and lots more insight into the fashion industry!

I want to also take this opportunity to give a massive thank you to Mariana from Going Teen. Shes always been a loyal follower of this blog and has her own amazing blog I love to take inspiration from. I'm honoured that she wanted to do a Blogger Q&A with myself and featuring my blog. So take a look at Going Teen, I promise you'll keep going back! Take a look at the Blogger Q&A here.

HC StreetStyle Pervert

My second post on my 'StreetStyle Pervert' Series. This time I have snapped up some interesting textures and details from the streetstylers of Camden, London whilst on my travels to and from work. Once again I got odd looks when trying to take sneaky pictures on my iPhone of Camden's most (and oddly) styled individuals, just so I can share them with you guys! So who are you (and not) loving? I have to say these girls inspired me to get my very own fringe bag!

Everyone has their own handbag must-haves for the day, but after interning since May 2012 and doing everything from running around London to dressing models, these are the things I make sure I’m carrying around with me, even to my jobs now!

Creative Industry Advice #3: Be the perfect intern, Get that Job!

So we’ve been through all of the previous processes (hours of writing cover letters, searching for jobs/internships, prepping for the interview, doing your research and impressing on the day) and now the big day is fast approaching, everything you’ve worked hard for has finally paid off. But in reality it’s just the beginning.

I’ve had my fair share of internships (both good, and bad), interning alongside other girls (both good and bad) and now here’s my advice on how to aim to be the memorable intern, to make an impression (sometimes biting your lip) and improving your chances of getting that permanent job at the end of it.

Fashion Friday

 So I've had a busy busy week working at ASOS, loving every second. I 'M also loving working in london, but not what it's doing to my bank balance! Just up the road from where I work is camden highstreet. Not only does it have the amazing stalls, but also a couple of highstreet stores, one of them being my favourite, H&M So here's my purchases for this week.

Neons and bright shout out colours are going to be big for S/S'13. This shirt is the perfect piece for the awkward Winter into Spring weather, as I can layer it up now, then wear with leather shorts when it gets warmer. 

Neon embellished collar shirt // H&M

Along with the green and glitter theme, I couldn't help but buy this pair! I will wear them both on there own and together, maybe painting my ring finger with both, keeping the rest mint.

Glitter Polish, Collection, Boots // Mint Polish, H&M

And if my week couldn't get any better, I nabbed myself one of the new ELLE issues, of which has a Kurt Geiger £20 of discount card with it! I already have 6 pairs of shoes i'd like to purchase, just having trouble deciding which ones! I suggest you pick yourself up an ELLE ASAP!

I already have Kate Moss Matte collection lippy in a pale pink, which I wear all of the time! I love lipstick to transform a look, plus the matte finish is right up my street. I treated myself to two of the other shades, 107 & 110. 107, a oxblood red is my new favourite, and features in one of my next blog posts! 110 I plan to wear with all black at work, and in the evenings.

Neon Shirt, Cross Skinny Jeans, Loose Knit Jumper, Mint Nail Polish, H&M // ELLE Magazine with Kurt Geiger Gift Card // Glitter Polish, Collection @ Boots // Lipsticks, Kate Moss Matte Collection

I have an outfit post lined up for these pieces already, so look out for it tomorrow!

Happy Fashion Friday!
