MY LAST WEEK :-(

19th - 22nd Dec 2011 my last few days at New Look Press Office.

I must say I was defo sad to go. Since Jan 4th 2011 - Dec 22nd I have been with the Press Team Mon - Thurs 9am - 5.30pm.

The week has been very very slow so there has not been much to do apart from the usual. To me it felt like the days were moving soooo slow which made my last few days drag on forever.

Wed 21st was our X-mas party down at the Loop Bar where the majority of New Look partied the night away. It was such a laugh seeing everyone get together and have fun. Some drunk some more drunk but hey its X-MAAAAASSSSSSS lol. Before the party had started back at the office was a mini beauty parlour, where the showroom was transformed. There was a lady to do our nails and eyelashes and all that was needed was a donation towards a charity. There was champagne all round , loads of cakes and nibbles and music *dancing* I had to get my lashes done but unfortunately I had to do my nails myself as the lady was so busy doing lashes for all the women that she didn't have enough time to do the both :-( (my nails looked good anyway :-p) So that defo got the party started.

As I was leaving on my last day I recieved a card from the whole Press Team. It was so nice of them all to put in their little messages. Rohini awwww bless her she came down and gave me a lil goodie bag with loads of lil presents and cards. Was such a nice thought of her.

My time is over for now but I will be back. Would like to so thanks to the Press Team and thanks to everyone who has folled me along my journey.

Best wishes to all for 2012 *including myself*

BYE BYE x x  x xoxoxoxoxoxoxox x x x x

IT'S ALMOST OVER!!!

A day before my last ever sample sale which sadly I will not be attending :-( however I did get to pick out a few bits and bobs. Perfect timing for x-mas as I got prezzies for my family.

The week has been so. Was in the Press Office over at store for the day and it was sooooo quiet. Hardly any store appointments or call ins, so it was a chilled week for us all. Fingers crossed my last few days next week will be much better than the last.

See ya next week. xoxo

SS12 PRESS DAY!!!

Press Day Invitation

On a whole Press Week was amazing. The collection is very feminine, soft and playful. I'm loving the collection especially the contrast of colours and fabrics. Even the food was sooooooo good OMG!!! which was all made and prepared by Park Royal Studios Catering. :-)

It was nice to see all the old interns back for the day as we got to catch up a bit. and we all got to receive a goody bag. (Minus the goods :-(

All in all it was a good turn out and such a fun day. Sadly this will be my last Press Day. (Unless they invite me back :-p) Bet they will ;-p

Until next week!!!!!! x x x

SHOWROOM TRANSFORMED INTO A SAMPLE SALE :-)

The showroom has been transformed into yet another sample sale. This sample sale was BIG I mean BIG!!! Literally all the the samples in the cupboards, rails, catwalk and wall boxes were for sale. All the W11 samples had to go in preparation for the new SS12 collection :-)

As you can imagine sample sales can be crazy! Which yes it was. Everyone who works in head office gets to purchase goods for less than a fraction of the retail price. I got my hands on a green parka jacket which I got for £1. Yes £1 arghhhhhhhhh OMG loving it :-) and like me soooo many other people they got to grab a bargain to. OH HOW I LOVE SAMPLE SALES!!!


The day after the sample sale out came the SS12 Footwear. Most will be used at Press Day. They just keep coming down form the buyers upstairs. There were so many boxes.

If only this was my bedroom floor I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN IF I WAS :-) I must say it took what felt like a life time displaying all those shoes like that. Box after box after box. Some of the shoes are amazing defo need a few pairs when they start to come out.

As you can see there are way too many. And this isn't even the half of it. *can't watch*


Luck for me it will not be my last :-p

SHOOT SHOOT PHOTO SHOOT!!!

Such a fun and interesting week. Best day of the week has got to be 15th. Photo shoot with Donovan Pascal (The Designer Director of Idol) for "PREY OF LONDON" @ SNAP STUDIOS.

What an amazing collections. The designs were incredible and made to such perfection. The detail and embellishment was mind blowing. The colour scheme went well and each outfit was thoughtfully  put together.  Here's a sneak peak at their moodboard Shhhhhhhh!!!

There is a rock-chic feel to the designs with stud, leather and feathers. The colour scheme is suited perfect and works well together. Lace and texture makes the collection look edgier than edge. LOL
 
The Model (Anastasija) from Elite Models was fantastic. She knew exactly what she was doing and the photographer loved her every move. She suited everything that was put on her and made the clothes look even better.

 I am so glad I got to be able a part of this experience. The whole team work so well together and you can see the hard work and effort that has gone into each and every garment from designing to making.
The whole day was great (even down to lunch. yuuuum!!!) Will gladly say I will be more than happy to work with Donovan again as I was such a great and understanding time.

Can't say a lot about the collection as the Look Book is for AW12 so my lips are sealed. All I can say is be prepared as this collection will be huge. Defo grabbing my fav pieces when it hits the shelves.  

Truly Amazing :-) x x x

SAMPLE SALE 1!!!

Sample sale prep for the start of the week. This sample sale will take place in the car park. Rails will be brought up from press and displayed in the car park. 10 interns will be taking part which means it is a big sample sale. Setting up the day before means all samples will be gathered; bags, shoes, clothes, jewellery and accessories including womens, mens and kids.
As there were so many interns to help organisation will be key and structure in order for the sample sale to flow with ease.

The day of the sample sale was hectic. Many people from each floor at Head Office came down to grab yet another bargain. Each sample sale is crazy I must say. Clothes end up on the floor, hangers are everywhere and stuff in boxes are all over the place. It started at 11pm and finished around 2pm. All the money gathered will go to charity which the Press team donate to each sample sale we have.

The rest of the week I spent instore doing call ins. Pople from different publications came in such as The Sun and More magazine.

Another week has gone by until next week ;-)

STORE!!!

In-store this week, 3days. As it is leading up to SS12 Look Book shoots the Press Office in-store was being run by interns. Lauren might be there in the morning for an hour or two but not for a full day, so its up to us the look after and maintain the office.
Keeping an eye out for any call ins being emailed through to the press inbox and answering the phones "Hello Press" lol. It hasn't really been busy as there are not many store appointments. We get through a lot of emails per day, which means the more call ins we send out its more likely for New Look to be used and seen. A lot of the people who come in to store are usual known faces who usually come in regularly. I must say it does take some time remembering names as soooooo many people come in that you remember their face but you can't but a name to it.

It is quiet chilled being in store but there is always something to do so it isn't that bad.
