Diary of a Intern- Day 1 at LOOK Magazine

Standing outside the enormous Blue Fin building in Central London, my legs were shaking. The huge sky scraper was daunting itself, but wait awaited me instead scared me even more. I was about to embark on a new journey in my work experience life. 2 Weeks internship at the famous and much loved LOOK magazine! I knew as soon as I walked through the doors, I would be in fashion heaven, but the thought of entering such a respected magazine made my heart skip a beat!

As I walked through the rotating doors (love them, such a child!), I made my way to reception to collect my pass (ahh I know!) then I headed up to the seventh floor of the magnificant building. Working towards the glass doors, I saw signs for In Style mag and then LOOK! My nerves dissappeared the moment I walked in. It was everything I had expected it to be. It was like being on the set of Ugly Betty and I suddenly turned into my normal relaxed (ish) self!

There to meet me was Features Editor, Jo Adnitt, who towered over me in her gorgeous heels. She was so friendly and showed me around the whole office, including the amazing 11th floor canteen!

I was given a desk and started work. As some of the articles had already been written this week, I was set the task of finding some more info on a new feature. The article looked at the big question about degrees and whether or not we needed them anymore and so I had to find some inspirational women who had made it without a degree in their back pocket. It took a lot longer than I thought!

Whilst working throughout the day, the stylist team working beside me were busy getting outfits together for The Saturday's shoot. I open mouthingly gazed at clothes which had come flowing in from all different high street shops. From sequins to brogues, I was totally in awe!

Then at lunch time, I headed up to the canteen for a cosmopolitan lunch. With chefs on hand and a view of Canary Wharf, I must say I had the perfect dinner! I even rushed back down to my office because I was so eager to get back!

After Lunch, Jo gave me an ongoing task to find out some new information for features articles, so, I got to work straight away again.

I cannot wait until tomorrow!
