It all kicked off with a panicky, semi-last minute decision to buy tickets to the hyped Tomorrowland Festival which takes place in the aptly named Boom, Belgium. Got giddy watching this
promo video for it and eventually just went for it! My flatmate Katy and I were lucky enough to get through after using 6 laptops between us and managed to get the ticket, camping and return travel from Newcastle for around the £430 mark! (Equally as excited for the ferry over there thanks to As You Like It Holidays!) Can't even express how excited I am to experience not only a festival in another country but also one that is such a hyped gathering with a line up of completely different music to my usual Leeds Fest. Aside from the music, the visuals look incredible! Last years took an Alice in Wonderland theme, can't wait to see what they do this year, it will definitely be a week to cherish!
I then followed this exciting new summer development with a house party with a bunch of my closest friends. Had such a lovely time :)
HOWEVER. The main event of this past week has been working back of house at Manchester's first Fashion Week (!!!) I have had so much fun getting an insight into the manic preparation behind the curtain to watching the professional, calm attitude once the models reach the catwalk! It also gave me my first experience of commuting, leaving my house at 6.30am to catch two trains and not returning till around 10pm - tiring stuff! I have met a group of amazing people through this too who I will definitely be keeping in contact with and I think I've got the intern bug now! Want to do it allll over again.
Here's a group of photos from the 5 brilliant days:
fallen in love with this £3,500 Mulberry bag :(, taping the bottom of shoes to prevent them getting scuffed, Mulberry's collection, cutesy model couple at Ted Baker, anti-fur protesters who jumped onstage after the Flannels show..., love this jacket, Rebecca - the model I was helping for the Mulberry show, ByCaprice underwear/swimwear show, models in a bed for the Calum Best show, pillow fight on a catwalk, me and Gabby with Calum Best!
THEN today, hungover Sunday, I found out that I'd won £60 worth of clothes courtesy of Naked Bones simply for reblogging one of their posts on Tumblr! So happy!
What a week!
