Wish list <3

This month as per usual I am craving a number of items, many of which are beyond my price range but hey a girl can dream!

Mac Book Pro 13 My little netbook is slowing up and although it has served me well it may be time to think about trading in. Of course my magpie tendencies are drawn to the very pretty shiny Mac screen, design and interface. Swoon...

Saint Laurent Pointed Leather Mary Jane pumps These pretty much speak for themselves...amazing! Teamed with a LBD you can network any room in these beauts or carry off a sophisticated look by wearing them with this season's favourite look, tailored cigarette pants. I'm going to justify the 625 euro price tag by saying they are a wardrobe staple and will last you year after year.

Topshop Premium Linked Chain necklace this neck piece is at the higher end of high street jewellery but in my opinion it's worth it. I love Freedom jewellery and have to be careful when I hit Topshop as I have been known to get carried away by all the pretty baubles on offer.

Mulberry Willow Tote This bag has appeared on my blog before and undoubtedly will again but I really do love it. Gorgeous structure and fabric, Mulberry bags just scream luxury and ooze sophistication. Arm candy at its very finest, mmm yes please. 

         

First fashion shoot at IMAGE.

So as I mentioned in the last post I will try to blog about what I consider the exciting things happening as part of my role at IMAGE.

I mentioned before that I have been organising fashion shoots and this week I got to see one in action.

What can I say? It was just amazing, high couture mixed with a little high street love. Stylist Niamh O Rourke of www.niamhorourke.com picked some fabulous looks and it was a joy to watch the final product.

The theme of the shoot was checks and stripes, trying to pick a favourite look is impossible amidst all the neon colour popping and fun patterns but I did absolutely love the pink Chanel skirt suit with gorgeous pearl detailing. A modern take on an old classic, just gorgeous.

I have a couple of behind the scenes photos to share but watch out for the May issue of IMAGE to see the full spread!

IMAGE... Yay!

Felt quite guilty to see that my last post was in January and now almost two months later I have finally got back to the blogosphere. In my defence things have been pretty busy! I have managed to secure an internship in IMAGE magazine and how hold the grand title of editorial assistant.

I have been so busy what with moving to a new city, figuring out the best commute route, putting in long hours and trying to soak up every new nugget of information. That is no excuse for the lack of blogging but during the week it's pretty much..wake bus work lunch work bus home eat bed. At the weekend it's trying to see the people I am neglecting during the week and of course catch up on a little extra beauty sleep.

However I will try and find the time to blog more as I am seeing, learning and doing exciting things since joining the IMAGE team. Last week our March issue went to print and seeing my name in print on the magazine's masthead was a pretty cool moment. I always thought it was a cop out to say it makes all the hard work worthwhile but in a funny way it actually does. I guess it's because there is concrete proof to show that you were involved.

There is a lot of competition for internships like mine so I am determined to make the most of it and hopefully it will prove an important milestone in my career. It's only been six weeks and I have learnt so much from organising shoots to editorial planning, even attending my first editorial meeting was such a revelation for I really got to see how everything worked.

Its exciting so from here in I will do my best to blog about what I think are the most exciting and interesting events/news/happenings etc.
