Daydreaming...

I'm not currently earning a wage until my job starts in September, but that doesn't mean a girl can't dream, right?

When I'm not working on my online shop, I do tend to daydream about clothes...shoes...bags...and more clothes! The ever revolving cycle of 'I'm bored of my clothes, I'm bored of my style', which is insanely frustrating :) So I thought I would vent some of that frustration into a very pretty blog post.

Ahh so cute! This is one of those 'I need it in my life' garments.

I've been toying with the idea of getting some more sophisticated looks in my wardrobe.
This gorgeous drape dress from Topshop is perfect.

And for those cooler summer nights, this cosy angora-mix cardi from Topshop.

A nice change from the nude-coloured shoe trend. 

These gorgeous caramel patent heels from Topshop.

I love these boots with summer dresses and ankle-length trousers!
Great leather ankle boots from ASOS.

This awesome wee briefcase from ASOS!

I'm considering starting vlogging after reading some articles about how many people blog versus how many vlog, and how big the audience for vlogging is. It's something I think I might experiment with over the next few days and see if I can stand the sound of my own voice!

Something Awesome This Way Comes :)

I'm starting to think summer. And next academic year. And final collection. It's all a bit much and the thought of the cost is just insane, I'm hearing people have spent £500, I'm hearing others have spent £1500 just on their final collection. So it's get-job-time.

However, I'm sick of retail. I don't think after working for Louise Gray and ASOS that I could possibly go back to being just a sales girl.

I've got something far more creative planned, but I'm not saying what yet! Still need to do some planning and organising and weighing up of my options...but watch this space :)

So Glad That's Over!

I have a pile of work that's roughly the same height as me. A 5ft 3" pile of work. For some reason I thought once we were back from work placement I had 3 things to do - a presentation, one project and help the 3 years with their final collections. Instead there's - a presentation, a diary (to be bound), a report (to be bound), a project, a manifesto project (which has turned into making a film), a dissertation class, PPD, random other classes thrown in for fun, and helping the 3rd years.

It's crazy.

Today was presentation day, mine was about my work placement at ASOS which is an awesome thing to talk about...but to a room full of people? No thanks. Okay, so it was 7 people in the end. This presentation has also caused me to miss the ASOS Press Day which I'm so gutted about as they've been emailing me for a week asking me to come back (it's always nice to feel wanted!) but my timetable is so full.

Anyway - presentations - they always seem so much worse before you do them, then once it's done, there's the adrenaline rush, the sudden boost in confidence and the big question - "why was I so stressed out over that?"

I'm saving this post for the next time I have a presentation and I have a meltdown.

Kissing Bunnies

My fourth Lookbook post. It's so exciting when somebody hypes or comments me, it's really getting me addicted!

I've started at ASOS, it's so much fun! They have a press day in April (which is like their fashion week!) so things are busy, busy getting ready for that, yesterday I put together the floor plans for the kind of exhibition space they are using.
The most exciting thing I've done so far is design some leggings which (I think!) are being put forward to the buyers - I will definitely be posting a pic if they are selected! What an amazing thing that would be to put on my CV.

Above is my latest look, I got the gorgeous bunny t-shirt from the Christmas Market in Central Park when we were there in December, everything else is just things I've picked up here and there. Gotta love a classic black and white bag to set an outfit off :)

Good News!

I've gotten lots of exciting news the past few days! Firstly, I had an interview for an internship at ASOS which went incredibly well and I start on Monday, it's full time for 2 weeks and then (if my uni timetable permits) I'll be going part time for a little while. Also hoping that when I come back from Scotland in September that I can pick up where I left.

And today, I got an e-mail from Lookbook.nu with an invite code :-D I plan on spending my entire day playing around on that! (and possibly catching up on some Desperate Housewives!)
