  • This Week…

    It’s been a hefty exhausting week. I think I shocked my body into these early wake up calls, now my body clock hates me and I crashed out pretty early yesterday evening (in hindsight it probably wasn’t the best idea to agree to work all day at my Saturday job). Other things that seem to be coming to me a little harder: blogging inspiration and writing.
    So I did a post at the beginning of August about creative writing and Camp Nano, it was all about forcing creativity out of your system and how good unpredictability can be. What I didn’t factor in was life getting in the way. I’m failing pretty bad at Camp Nano (not even at halfway point in my novel, boo!) and am finding it hard to garner interest in blogging at the moment. Admittedly August is a pretty quiet time any industry, fashion particularly with not much really exciting or new happening, and  many people indulging in holidays etc. But I guess I’m just going through one of those slumps in inspiration and still trying to get used to a completely new life routine. I probably need a moment to step back and do some admin-y thinking about how I’ll be running this ship for the next year.
    But for now I think I’ll just relax a little in the sunshine while it lasts, I’ve scheduled this post as I’m at a BBQ with some family friends.

    Hectic week was hectic! Getting used to a new routine was harder than I thought and didn’t help with blogging lol. It also didn’t help that I went to go see my old theatre group do two shows, one of which my sister was in and the other, an entirely emotional affair. One thing I have been finding nice has been delving head first into work wear. I’m slowly getting used infusing my own style into a new environment. It’s also giving me an excuse to do a little online shopping ;) The placement itself has been really good so far, learning lots but lots more to learn in the next few weeks and I have a little handover with the current intern. 
    It was also exciting to get Wish magazine in the post! I’ve already had a little read through and I’m already finding it wonderfully witty and gorgeously illustrated. I’ll definitely need to do a little review of it soon! 
    Trying to write this post while watching the Olympic closing ceremony so forgive me if it’s a little disjointed :P

    So I’m 3 days into my work placement now and I’m already shattered lol 6am starts are harder than I thought. I’m really liking it so far and have already learnt a lot too. With working in an office comes a brilliant opportunity for work wear and I’ve started to document what I’m calling ‘A Year In Work Wear’. I’m going to do a quick snap of what I’m wearing in the morning every day for the next year and post the outfit to my Tumblr with a couple of details. I figured as I’ll be wearing less casual wear this would be a nice alternative and saves me time having to pull together a full outfit shots (plus you’d all get bored of constant photos of black trousers and collared shirts right?). 
    Aside from work I had a nice catch up with friends over a Nandos on Thursday, have been plodding along with my Camp NaNoWriMo novel (check out my post about it from Thursday) and am fully addicted to watching the Olympic coverage (how amazing was Jessica Ennis yesterday!) 
    Also apologies for becoming another blogger to subscribe to using a weekly Instagram post, but I honestly don’t see what’s so bad about them? It’s an easy way to document my daily life and even easier to pull together for a Sunday summary post! 
    So I’m gonna get back to writing then my first full on working week commences tomorrow! Bring It!

    Keep on wishing…
