Emma's Adventures

So theres been some serious slacking on the blog front, but there is a good excuse! Robyn and I have been experiencing the real world in the form of work experience. So instead of sitting here blogging I've been in London working for a little company called Saltwater. I cant give too much away about the company but it was fascinating learning how a small fashion company worked. I saw the the different parts of the process from design to production to selling and it was really interesting! Its amazing when you think about how long it takes to get the clothes we wear. Oh and Ive seen next season's stuff and it is NICE!!!

So what else did I do in London? I saw 3 shows (Phantom of the Opera, Thriller Live and La Cage aux Folle), 2 celebrities (Patrick Stewart and George Lamb!) and visited the markets! Oh and shopped obviously! Camden market is actually like a different world! I saw a guy graffiting onto t-shirts and hoodies, which I personally found amazing. I wish I'd had money that day! And there was the cutest vintage shop selling furniture and records and clothes from the 1940s/1950s. And a woman who made clocks from records which were pretty nifty and the coolest part was that my aunt could pick out all the ones she had cut back in the day! She is an incredibly cool 67 year old!

So I guess I should share my buys with you since this is the point of this blog :P

I pretty much spend all my money on shoes which will not shock anyone who knows me! I am addicted to shoes, I cant help it I just love them! Nothing makes you feel better than a good pair of shoes :) I got the cutest pair of pink brogues and a pair of black fringed ankle boots from River Island which have pretty much not left my feet :) I'll stick some pictures up later. I also got a uber cute denim jacket and some cool loose t-shirts from Illustrated People and We Walk at Topshop. Oxford Street Topshop is like actual Heaven! But its sooooo soooo busy all the time! Which isnt so fun.

So I guess that was my trip to London! Im sure Robyn will update us with tales from her work experience soon :)


Over and out
Emma
