Internship Number Three Please

Updates.. I finished interning at Flax PR last Thursday. It was great to learn so much about how an agency runs, and it was a hugely informative experience.
But it really just wasn't fashion forward enough. Half of the whole PR excitement for me, comes from being passionate about the product/clients.
Passion for Cath Kidston/Laura Ashley, I do not have.
So I interviewed on my birthday for another internship (after dragging myself to the interview because I was THAT SICK - my birthday was not a happy time) and tomorrow I start in the press office for none other than ..

Nicole Farhi.

Very Excited.
I think it's fabulous because I've now had so many different experiences, in-house for a smaller designer, agency, and now in-house for a huge, established designer. Nicole Farhi has done wonders for London Fashion Week and I think it's really to her credit that LFW is known and respected in the fashion world.
Huge fashion houses like Nicole Farhi, Paul Smith, and Burberry just give London the brilliant name it has.
What to wear for the first day?!
Fail safe black. Works everytime.

In Love.

I am so head over heels. Completely and truly smitten.
Unfortunately, t'is not a man at the centre of my affections, but these trousers.

They are utterly delicious.
Smart, and casual, show my personality, nod to st patricks, and still oh so on trend for this season's florals.
I thought they'd be one of those pieces that I ADORE so much I have to ignore that others hate them.
BUT I wore them to a party last night and had exactly 1 million people ask me where they were from.
Love is a very splendid thing.

Oh, ANOTHER rejection for paid position. At Burberry. Just to make it hurt a little more.
ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. AS IF I CANT BE A PRESS SAMPLES ASSISTANT. How could you BE more qualified?! I would genuinely like to know what makes you qualified to be a samples assistant, not a general press assistant, no no, a SAMPLES assistant. Are. You. Kidding.
I'm angry. So angry.
That job would be a quarter of all the responsibilities I had at my in-house internship. And I would work SO HARD. Urgh. I freaking hate the recession. I hate it. And everyone who has a job a the moment and is getting paid for it. Its a far off concept for me.
And hell yes I'm bitter about it.
