Last weekend, I went to Boston to visit my friend, Christina, who is living there for the Summer. I had the absolute best time & it was so nice to have a break away from the city for a few days. I visited Quincy Market, Harvard, Newbury Street, went out both nights & had the nicest dinner in Little Italy. I also found a very cool store called, The LF Store. There wasn’t one thing in there that I wouldn’t have bought but unfortunately, the prices were outrageous! Oh well….it was nice to see anyway. Here are a few snaps from my trip….

On Tuesday, I got the chance to go to the Capsule Menswear Tradeshow which was taking place in NYC for 2 days…& it was amazing! Its basically a show which buyers, press, etc. go to to check out stores from all around the world. There was so much to look at it that it was almost a little overwhelming, but I loved it. In September, I will be working at the Womenswear one, as some of our clients will be taking part, so I’m very excited about that :)

Ok so I’m not going to lie, yesterday was my favorite day here in NYC so far! Why? Well I got the chance to do a video shoot with Refinery29.com, one of the biggest fashion websites here in the US. When I arrived here first, I got stopped in the street & was asked if my picture could be taken for the street style section of the website, which I blogged about HERE. So that same day, I gave the photographer my business card & told her to let me know if they ever needed Stylists & Bloggers for any upcoming features…it was a long shot I knew, but it was the start of my NYC networking, at least. So… you can just image my reaction when I got an email a few weeks later asking if I wanted to take part in a Video Shoot Refinery29 were doing to feature different bloggers & stylists!! Oh and get this, I was going to be getting paid (very generously) for it. Crazy crazy stuff! So it took place yesterday anyway in an amazing studio where I had to wear 4 different outfits & talk a little on camera. The talking bit was nerve-racking to say the least & I’m a little nervous to see the end result…but all in all it was such an amazing experience & I met some really cool people. Then just when I thought the day was coming to an end, I got talking to the stylist of the shoot, who informed me that she was actually currently looking for an intern for the next 2 months & asked would I like to assist her!? I think I actually said yes before she even had a chance to finish her sentence , ha :) She’s a freelance stylist here in NYC & styles shoots for publications such as the New York Times Magazine & many more. So as you can imagine, I am beyond excited!! I’ll definitely keep you updated, but in the meantime, here are some pics from yesterday…
