My week in the Big Smoke

For the past week I have been in London doing an internship in the LK Bennett Press Office. Total shoe heaven! I should have taken some photos of the press room. Shelves upon shelves of beautiful shoes, bags, belts and then rails of their elegant AW09 collection.

I was in an office with only two others, sorting out press samples; sending off items from the collection to magazines and newspapers to use in shoots and making sure everything was correct on the system. Not very taxing, but was a lovely environment to work in and the people at Head Office are really wonderful people. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I've heard the fashion industry can be very cut-throat - I think I've been watching too much Ugly Betty!

Although it was a great experience and I was looked after very well (I even managed to bag myself some very good bargains using the last of my staff discount) I don't think I'll be pursuing a career in the fashion industry. I'm going to keep fashion as a hobby/obsession!
