Stalked: Monika, Founder of Layana London
27 August 2014
I always go by the saying 'life is too short to wear boring jewellery'!
In result, it's safe to say I have a lot of jewellery, but there are only a few pieces that I wear religiously everyday. One of them is my Great Frog snarling wolf head and the other is a ring by Dubini, who is one of my latest favourites and the reason I stumbled accross Layana London, the online destination for unique jewellery designers. After becoming rather obsessed with wanting to buy everything on the site, I thought it was about time I stalked the person behind scouting out all these incredible jewellery brands.
So here we are...
What
do you do and why do you love your job?
I am the founder of Layana London, an online jewellery specialist. The
aspiration for the company is to offer jewellery that is both distinctive and
beautiful and to present it in a simple and uncluttered surrounding.
The amazing thing about Layana London is that I get to work with
fantastically creative people, some of whom will be deservedly famous, and
provide our customers with pieces that are unique and beautiful. It is a great
feeling to see the customers putting the pictures of their new pieces on their
social media or writing back with thanks. Plus I get to wear a lot of jewellery
for work – what’s not to like?
Stalked: Dave, Manager Of Sunday Somewhere Eyewear
25 August 2014
Oh dear, it's finally sinking in that we're approaching the end of those hot summer nights and lazy days in the sun. To celebrate what a fabulous summer it's been, my last 'summer sunnies' interview is with the lovely Dave from Sunday Somewhere. An Australian eyewear brand with a simple philosophy - to create glasses that are all beautifully crafted, with classic and modern frames. With a
make-up-your-own-mind attitude, the brand relies on inspired imagery to assist
with the vision both it and its customers relate to.
I caught up with Dave (one of the two Daves that run the brand) while he was briefly visiting London.
What do you do and
what's the coolest aspect of your job?
I'm the General Manager
of Sunday Somewhere and would have to say that my job is my life,
travelling and meeting amazing people. The best part about this is you are
constantly developing as a person and no new day is ever the same.
The Art Of The Ancient Selfie
22 August 2014
You
may remember I wrote a post earlier in the year on our obsession with selfies, well
it’s just got a whole load funnier!!! It began, as so many monumental internet
trends have, on Reddit. A user visited Ireland’s Crawford Art Gallery, where he
cleverly manipulated his camera-phone around Greco-Roman statues, many of which
just happen to have their arms outstretched in an uncanny gesture of
selfie-taking, to look like they are participating in the social media craze.
Back to basic stalking: Ripped Jeans
20 August 2014
There’s something sexy about ripped
jeans, especially when someone can carry it off the right way. I stalked this chick near Bond Street, looking outrageously cool in her beanie smoking a cigarette!!
The history of
ripped jeans dates back to the bands of the 1960s and 70s, like The
Ramones, who were the first celebrities to wear them. While this caught on
as a fad, it didn't make its way to the fashion runways. Instead, it became
popular with the whole cliche of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, which was the
motto of the 70s child.
Stalked: Emma Hart, Creative Director, PUSH PR Agency
18 August 2014
A career in Fashion PR is one of the most sort after and is
certainly not for the faint-hearted! Competition for jobs is fierce and you
need plenty of enthusiasm and confidence if you want to successfully sell a
client's product to journalists or pitch for new business. Most of all, you need 101% dedication; this is exactly how the founder and director of Push PR succeeded in creating her very cool agency situated in Exmouth Market.
I caught up with Emma over a glass of prosecco and picked her brains on how she achieved what she has and tips for all you aspiring PRs!
What do you do and why do you love your job?
I am the founder and creative director of Push PR; a luxury fashion, lifestyle, beauty and health & fitness creative communications agency. I love my job as it's insanely busy, very creative and a huge challenge on a daily basis. I am surrounded by energetic, creative and inspiring people who have the most incredible entrepreneurial spirit and drive. My real passion is seeing growth in business and nurturing talent - I get to do this on a daily basis; what's not to love??
