Label Lovin'

Here are a few of the labels I am absolutely loving at the moment.



  1. For Love & Lemons

For Love & Lemons is based in LA and BFF's Gillian Rose Kern and Laura Hall are the creative minds behind it all. They have delicate feminine designs, specialising in lingerie. They're look is distinct and instantly recognisable. Find them online here
        

    2.  EKAY 

Ekay has a variety of bright and intricate items. Shells, tie-dye, lace and tassels; these are a few of my favourite things. It's still quite a small label, but she's definitely got the goods. Find them online here.
     3. Dyspnea

Dyspnea is an Australian label that describes tim selves as, "the lovechild of Rhianna and Noel Fielding, Beyonce and Russell Brand". If that doesn't give you a good idea of what Dyspnea are, think candy, pom-poms and fairies. You can find them online here

Read about my Boston riots article for Maxviral.com

I am finding it hard to find time to write a new weekly post. So to combat this, and compromise with my conscience, I am going to just upload past works and stories of mine with a bit of a critique, overview and background about the process of writing the story. I'm going to start with one I wrote up this week for Maxviral.com.

I am currently interning at Maxviral.com as a journalist. It is a click-bating-type website that upload content about trending topics. It's a very different kind of writing that I am used to, and I'm not entirely sure if I have particularly high respect for the work, but I have definitely learnt a lot from being there so far. I have learnt much about marketing and also website function including uploading stories and working with metadata, focus keywords, tags etc. All this knowledge is obviously very useful in the age of digital journalism.

This story was written as part of an in-office interview challenge where we had to interview anyone of our choice from Reddit AMA and put the Q&A into a story. This challenge was developed to give some of the other interns a chance to exercise interview skills. I found a journalist who covered the Boston Riots and asked him about his experience and opinions.
