LEATHER IN LONDON
Today I spent the first half of my day in London where I had an interview for a Fashion internship. I wanted to go for something smart and interview-proof but as it was a fashion internship i still wanted to look good and keep within my style. I dug out my leather trousers and paired them with this two tone shirt which I think smartened them up a bit. I threw on my orange jacket which added a splash of colour and tied the whole thing together with my trusty crocodile print ankle boots and black bag.
JACKET. Asos
LEATHER TROUSERS.H&M
SHIRT. River Island
BAG. Urban Outfitters
BOOTS. Asos
NECKLACE. Vintage shop
GLASSES. Spitalfields market
FOUNDATION. Mac Studio Fix
POWDER. Bobbi Brown skin weightless powder foundation

MASCARA. Mac false lashes extreme black
LIPS. Ted Baker lip balm
Unfortunately I didn't get the Internship, but despite feeling a bit gutted at first I still managed to find a few positives from the day:
.Despite travelling to London many times with friends, I'd never done it on my own before so I now feel much more confident travelling in and out of the city.
.I got a small glimpse of a fashion environment in the actual environment
.I spoke to a woman at the head of her own company who praised me on my photography work, which has encouraged me to continue down that path
. I got a nice day out on my own and did some shopping after
I really tried not to get too disheartened when hearing I didn't get the internship. It's the first interview I've ever not succeeded in, but Fashion is a fiercely competitive industry and I'm aware that knock backs are going to be common. Sometimes we just need to find the positives in a situation, learn from it and see it as an experience. After a rejection it's important not to quit, you just have to pick yourself up, brush yourself up and start all over again. And make sure you look damn good while doing it.
Hope you're all having a lovely week.
