So recently, when I've been on my daily survey of the latest fashion looks on TV and magazines, it seems that were to not bother and look no further than our mums wardrobe....
No, this is no joke, this season there has been more and more people 'thinking vintage' so why not take insperation from your parents own fashion faux pa's by looking in that dreaded wardrobe and see what turns out...
shoulder pads, leggings, leg warmers, sequins...they all come back...fashion is fickle, so why not recycle whats infront of your eyes...
and then atleast you know nobody will be wearing the same thing as you...

So..
I think this whole blog thing is a very awkward situation, everyone I talk to who has one says it's like an addiction but the real reason for me doing it is that the career that I am trying to break into encourages and emphasises blog writing, so here I am...
Firstly, I suppose I should some up the reasoning behind the title, no its not me just being an avid and obsessed fan of the original 'The Devil Wears Prada' book written by Lauren Weisberger... Merely and simply it's because I can truly relate to the role played by Anne Hathaway in the blockbuster film.
Nineteen years old, almost dying to be part of the British Media specialising in my passion for fashion, not only is it an interest like most girls my age to be up and coming with the latest trends, I thouroughly enjoy writing.. So my chosen career path bodes well for me yeah?!
Well, you've got to get there havent you, and believe me, I'm trying, working at a dull and dreary supermarket constantly since I turned sixteen, I am dedicated to breaking out of the slavetrade, all the while I've been there while I've been 'INTERNING'...Now interning people of different industrys would give you a different definition coming up with a different answer, from where I stand, an intern is an unpaid slave, who undertakes the dirty work of the media in order for that tiny little name on their cv....
So far since September, You name it, I've possibly done every bad job you could think of, and that is just juggling life at the slavetrade with full time work in the media. I've worked at FHM, Zoo, Heat & have just finished my two month placement at New magazine...
I've enjoyed all of them, taking different experiences from each, and swapping stories with other interns has also been a highlight, we add eachother on facebook and occasionally ask eachother 'how we're doing' 'have you found anything yet'.. In my book that means 'look mate, its dog eat dog, If i find something I'm not telling you so butt out' because obviously everyone wanting to work in fashion has to be equally as obnoxious right?
So today, I would get the timid 'first date' blog out the way, because at the end of the day, I'm writing to no one but myself...and whose gonna read about me> really...
Applied for a job today, Where? well that would be telling, I could have other interns poaching my blog rather than gorkana...We'll see aye?!? I'm sure like the rest that I've spent the whole afternoon writing a 'kickass' coverletter and never here from them again...
