Off to London to get inspired about my future in Fashion.

So you want to work in Fashion?

PepperHaus Event

Well yes, yes I do.

We got told about this event at Uni in one of our lectures ages ago. There was a lot of um and arr'ing about wether to spend 15 quid on an event in London which was cost a bomb to go down anyway. 

Well 15 quid is a night out so I think we can afford to spare one night out, at least. 

 

So we got the train into St Pancras

 

Dearest Clare from Burton-on-Trent extremely excited to go to London.

 

Speakers from Fabulous magazine, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Independent Fashion Blogger, Frank PR talked to us about their jobs in the fashion industry. It was inspiring to hear about their experience of how they got into the fashion industry; basically either a lot of hassling and rejection, or just pure luck. (Eek) 

But I tell you what, it was probably one of the best £15 I have spent in the last two years! 

NEXT STEP:

to get work experience for Easter!

Love. x

Oh and I wore this:

 

(just in case you wanted to know)

Jean Shorts.

Ive been wanting a pair of jean shorts for a very long time. So I searched and searched for the perfect jean shorts, finding a few completely out of my price range a long the way. But none took my fancy.


I thought to myself: "why not buy a pair of jeans and cut them up yourself?"


Well of course!

So I visited one of my favorite vintage shops in London, Beyond Retro.

Beyond Retro London, Leaflet.

When I got home, with total excitement and also nerves (?!) I cut up my jeans and ended up with a sexy pair of light jean shorts by 'Lee'. I also bought myself a nice black belt to go with it. Take a look.

Business Cards

Due to my job with Red Bull doing promotions, I manage to collect a load of business cards, just for reference on the places we go. I recently realised actually how many I have collected in the last few months. Me, being someone who does not like to throw away anything, I end up with this huge pile of stuff. So I decided today to scan a few of them in. Not for any particular reason. Just something to write about I guess. 

 Me, being someone who does not like to throw away anything...

Looking at these business Cards, I notice that every single one uses a different type face. Oh how important a Type face is to a brand. I guess the type face says a lot about the brand identity, Lush with its curly, swirly type face, SPITFIRE with bold statement type face, Le Chien et Moi, quirky. 

It makes me wonder, If i had to use a typeface to promote  Natalie Sawyer, what type face would I use...maybe something to consider.

Write soon. x
