Being an intern is not an easy job, we repeat, BEING AN INTERN IS NOT AN EASY JOB.
Packing and unpacking boxes, then repacking and unpacking again, and again, and again. Running around, running errands, copious amounts sourcing and ridiculously long periods of time for returns, hours of scouring the internet for the hottest fashion and beauty trends to suit your budget, breaking celeb news, cool health trends and tricks to try…and you’ve got an idea of what it takes to be an intern.
We decided to get to quiz our new interns to get to know them a little better.
Kea, digital intern.
1. Describe your style
My style is really ruled by whatever I feel like wearing on the day, which makes it difficult to describe actually, but one thing I know for sure is that I like to add a pop of colour to my look. So, if I am wearing a denim dress, for example, I’ll definitely style it with a pair of shoes, statement neckpiece or nail colour that is rich and vibrant
2. Tell us something funny/interesting about yourself-a quirk that you might have
I laugh easily, and a lot…like a lot, a lot. I laugh at everything. I’m actually laughing while answering this question.
3. Favourite designer and why?
Giorgio Armani = elegant, trendy, cool. What’s not to love?
4. Your shopping tips/advice?
As difficult as it may be sometimes, try to shop for wardrobe staples often, i.e. buy the black shoe instead of the neon yellow one (no matter how cute they are), wardrobe staples allow for a lot of versatility.
5. Flats or heels? Why?
Both! Heels for glam, and flats for comfort.
Robyn, fashion intern.
1. Describe your style
I would describe my style as fresh, romantic and the typical girly-girl that loves all things beautiful.
2. Who is your style icon and why?
My style icon would have to be Blake Lively. It is difficult for anyone to forget the days when she starred in Gossip Girl and had everyone talking after each episode about her gorgeous preppy outfits.
3. Your shopping tips/advice?
If you see something that you just cannot get off your mind and you just have to have it – do yourself a big favour and buy it! It’s the worst thing ever having sleepless nights because you cannot stop thinking about that one item that you left at the store or barely putting something down and seeing someone else buy it!
4. Flats or heels? Why?
Heels for sure. I can barely concentrate in flats.
5. Favourite 2016 fashion and beauty trend
Fashion Trend: My favourite fashion trend for 2016 would be 70’s trend specifically fringe bags and clothing. Beauty Trend: My favourite beauty trend for 2016 would be to go for a more al naturel look with minimalist make-up.
Tasmin, beauty intern.
1. Tell us something funny/interesting about yourself-a quirk that you might have
I am always growing out my fringe and then cutting it. It’s like my life’s mission to grow it out before I have the urge to cut it again!
2. Who is your style icon and why?
Kendall Jenner. I love everything about her, head-to-toe!
3. What is the one thing you splurge on and why?
Clothes and Shoes. I just have no self-restraint when it comes to these things!
4. Your shopping tips/advice?
Find your own style. It’s great to get inspiration from celebrities but as individuals we should have our own style and mix and match clothes as we want to.
5. Favourite 2016 fashion and beauty trend
The colours of the year, Rose Quartz and Serenity. They filter into beauty and fashion and these colours can be worn all year round. They are gorgeous!
