Interior: Zoo Portraits

Meet my new favourite artist: Barcelona-based Yago Partal. 

The talented photographer has set his work apart from others by combining photography and illustration as well as the animal world and the fashion world to perfectly humanise animals and to create remarkable artwork. Partal's work has been met by a fantastic response and has been featured in a multitude of noteworthy magazines from Time Out to Design Taxi.

Exclusive art is available for purchase and I will definitely be dipping into my savings to pick myself up a 'leopard cub' or a 'red panda', but there is also a wonderful selection of everyday items from this artist, including clothing, clocks, stationary, homeware and even iphone cases.

Yago Partal and his artwork are definitely something to get excited about and if you are interested in cool new interiors, get involved! Check out his website and have a peek!

La vie en Rose Gold

Unless you have been living under a rock, you should be aware that rose gold is seriously trending right now. Rose gold jewellery and accessories are flying off the shelves and even rose gold tinted make up is expanding, but I want to talk about rose gold interiors.

As a huge fan of interior design with not so subtle dreams of working for Elle Decor in the future, I love browsing the latest interior trends and spoiling myself. The latest rose gold minimalist fad is not one to miss, below are a few of my favourites on the market now...   

  After all that browsing I'm starting to see the world through rose gold tinted spectacles!!

Floral surprise

I woke up to the most gorgeous surprise this Valentine's Day. Not only did my boyfriend wake me up with a bouquet of red roses and breakfast in bed, then whisk me off for an italian meal in Bristol, I found these on my doorstep.   

Blossominggifts.com sent me the most exquisite bouquet of lilies, roses, daisies and carnations tied together with spring ribbon and arranged beautifully in a huge cardboard box, making me look very popular and making my boyfriend a tad jealous.

It was such a gorgeous gift from the flower company to congratulate me and my team for our work on Her Campus UEA and it made my bedroom smell incredible. I now have quite an impressive selection of flowers in my room which make me so very happy.

Her Campus UEA Celebrity

This week as Campus Correspondent for Her Campus and as Editor in Chief of HC UEA, I was given the honour to appear on the UEA radio station Livewire (where Greg James started his career) and I was also interviewed for Campus Celebrity of the Week at Her Campus which was a truly lovely surprise.

Secret shoot at no. 37

I have taken part in a secret project that will be revealed at a later date...I can't say too much other than that I am really excited about it! It was a long day full of great people, hair and make up, filming, smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels and chic french treats from my favourite brand 'La Duree'.  I could definitely get used to this life...

Tea leaf shopping

 As a true Brit there are few things that I love as much as tea sampling and buying. Not only do you get to drink cups and cups of tea, but the shops are always so aesthetically pleasing with kilner jars stuffed with leaves and huge wooden shipping boxes giving it a vintage effect.

I tried to buy a few of the empty wooden boxes but unfortunately they weren't for sale so I'm on the hunt for some. I just love the idea of storing my English Breakfast tea leaves in there and I think it would give a house for young adults such a cool vibe.

Her Campus UEA Launch

The day is finally here...As from today I am officially a magazine editor.

Six months ago when doing magazine research I stumbled across an online student magazine called 'Her Campus'. The online site was launched in 2009 by three Harvard undergraduates and has since expanded with over 250 chapters at universities across the world, becoming the number 1 global community for college women.

I was instantly attracted to the magazine and when I noticed that UEA (my university) did not have a chapter, I immediately got in contact and started the application process to create and be editor in chief of the chapter at UEA as well as a Campus Correspondent for Her Campus in general. The process was long and difficult, with numerous edit tests, interviews, tests and written content to be assessed. Finally I was told in November that I had succeeded and I was over the moon.

Today Her Campus UEA launches under my leadership and our team have worked hard towards this day! I am so excited to gain this rare insight into the magazine industry and to work with the nationals on a larger scale in terms of publicity, journalism, social media and events.
