Oh Hai Real World!

So since finishing uni in May I have been a very busy gal! After one night of partying and celebrations at our summer ball I delved straight into the world of (free) work, kicking things off with my month's internship at Glamour magazine!....very exciting stuff.

It was hectic times in the office as I came smack bang in the middle of getting things ready for their Woman Of The Year Awards, and I had a GREAT time, and got a good insight into the workings of the magazine.

Straight after this, I had my three day stint at the London Collections Men with Notion magazine....which was THE BEST time evs! (see post below) and then I was back at More! magazine for a week, doing a bit of covering whilst one of the features team was on holibobs. (And got my first pay cheque as a journalist!)

I love going to More! as everyone in the office is #TOTESAMAZE. Also got given a fair bit of responsibility and was in charge of obtaining contain for certain pages of the mag as well as getting vox pops and interviewing people!

Loving life.

Then I moved out of my uni house (sad times ahoy) and came back home to Caerdydd, before I GRADUATED WITH A FIRST CLASS HONOURS IN JOURNALISM ON WEDNESDAY!!!!

Just call me Anna Verdon BA (hons)......Lol

Me and my uni housemates: Katie, Holly, (me) and Emilie.

London Collections: Menswear

I know I haven't updated this blog in FOREVER but I have been extremely busy GRADUATING and stuff....that's right GRADUATING.....it's all very exciting.

so....earlier on in June I was very fortunate in getting the chance to attend LCM (London Collections: Menswear) for Notion Magazine, and it has to be said, it was definitely, BY FAR, one of the best experiences of my life. I had never done anything like this before and the atmosphere of the whole weekend and the buzz I got from being there was the best feeling.

As well as working with some incredible people, I also got the chance to attend shows and presentations, writing catwalk reports and interviewing designers. IT WAS SICK MAYN.

And how could I forget to mention I had a brief but sweet little conversation with Alexa Chung (ALEXA FRICKIN' CHUNG) whilst sharing a lift with her in BFC headquaters...little bit star struck? I think so.
