Fourth and Main #2

I recently stumbled across Art and Culture publication Fourth and Main and was so impressed with the quality of the writing, photography and overall presentation that I had to share it with you. After researching a little bit into Fourth & Main, I found out that not only is it a Art and Culture publication but also a clothing line, with a store in London. If the clothing line is anything to go by the publication, then quality, attention to detail and presentation will be amongst some of it's strengths. 

Throughout the publication there are beautiful illustrations by the talented Micah Lideberg. I hadn't come across his work before, but after taking a look he is incredibly talented and each of his designs is well thought out and breath taking. If you also enjoy his work then you can check his website out here.

Photography by Elliot Lee HazelThe photography and styling in Fourth & Main is so versatile but all of the images are eye-catching and beautiful in their own way. The above image is actually one of my favourite, the girly colour palette and great use of natural light works so well.

My week through Instagram...

I have only had instagram since August but I am definitely addicted! I find it hard to go a day without posting an image, and whether boring or not I am going to share with a week of images with you.It has been another very busy week for me in London from sight seeing to lots and lots of interviews. I absolutely love London but I can't wait until I have money to go on a huge shopping spree.

Christmas lights on Regents St, London

The lights really are impressive in London this year and I love being part of the christmassy atmosphere every day. Regents St and Oxford St both have a lovely vibe at the moment and I must have taken about one hundred images now just of the christmas lights-sorry instagrammers!

Graduation-Fashion with Photography (First Class Honours)

On Monday I headed back to Southampton for my graduation! I know you may be thinking 'that's late' and yes in typical Southampton Solent style our graduation was months late. It was well worth it though and I finally had my moment in the gown and hat! Unfortunately my dad couldn't make it as he lost his passport, but the great thing about technology is that he could watch the whole ceremony online. I do keep joking now though that he will just have to pay for me to do a masters so he can make that ceremony (I can keep wishing!).

After my successful attempt at walking over the stage without falling over I headed back to Oxfordshire to go for a family meal. It was such a big day for me and I got absolutely spoilt.

New charms for my nomination bracelet-scroll and graduation hat!

After all of the excitement of my graduation I headed back to the big smoke in search of that 'perfect job'. I have applied for every job under the sun from Production Assistant at REP Ltd to Marketing Executive for a boutique in Chelsea. However in London it all seems to be a waiting game and in the end I had to accept a job at Forever 21, Oxford St. It isn't the type of job that I particularly want to be in but for not it will pay the bills and it is Oxford St!!

Me and James at Trafalgar Square

As we have only been living in London for around two weeks now it is all still very exciting. I love making the most of what the city has to offer and keeping myself busy. Today we spent the day visiting Tate Modern and generally being tourists around the London Bridge kind of area. James also starts his job tomorrow and I start at Forever 21 next week so we thought we would make the most of our free time!

London Living

It has now been 4 days since I have moved to London and I absolutely LOVE IT! I wish I had done it sooner but I am here now and loving every minute of it. I have nearly unpacked everything and the place is starting to feel very homely. Sunday was the first day where it really felt like I was living in London and me and my boyfriend went to Oxford Street shopping for the day. As the evening kicked in the christmas lights were absolutely stunning-it felt magical. 

I then had a meeting with Pause Mag-it was so nice to be able to hop on the tube rather than the train or coach I would normally have to take. Yesterday I had my first interview for Marketing Executive for a boutique on the New King's Road. The role sounds challenging and very fast-paced but it sounds amazing and I would love to get it! I have been asked back for a second interview so fingers crossed!
