WELCOME
Hello, I’m Lauren. Welcome to New Perceptions.
I graduated from University of the Arts London with a BA Hons degree in Journalism and while writing for South London-based magazine, Artefact I have spent time to assist global publications such as Marie Claire, Woman & Home, NME, Uncut and Q magazine. I have now have ventured into the world of digital academia publishing at Pearson. When I’m away from the laptop music and travel are my favorite things to enjoy. To name a few, my travel bug has taken me to beautiful rice paddies in SE Asia, yoga hotspots of Bali, Cambodia’s Wonder of the World, rum shacks in the Carabien, and many more - you will hear about my adventures shared here on New Perceptions.
ABOUT ME
Then there is rock. I was introduced to rock 'n roll by in my late teens. I was once told in order to go further in life I need to know where I came from. This also stands the same for music itself. The musicians of todays' world are all influenced by somebody before their time, so it is important to still continue to play them vinyl's and value their heritage.
When I am not feeding music to my ears, I am hunting through charity shops to find those hidden gems. Whether that shirt from Nana's wardrobe can be used for a dinner date in town or if that velvet jumpsuit can be rocked on a Friday night with the girls. To quote Warhol himself ‘Art is what you can get away with’ and it doesn’t have to cost you the world to look fabulous. Keep and eye out for my #thriftshopthursday posts to find the best charity shops to venture to.
So, I would like to combine my three loves of travel, sustainable fashion and music together with a few drops of wellbeing deep-dives to create New Perceptions. Enjoy!
