    B.O.B ft Taylor Swift – Both of us

    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…

    Soundtrack: Newsies Original Broadway Cast – Carrying the banner

    Despite the absolutely horrendous weather here in the UK, I’ve had a pretty good week. As I said in my last post I was at my town’s local Cultural Mela Festival, helping out with the traditional Filipino dance my mum organised. The whole day was great even if it did seem to downpour every other hour and I did manage to get a little sickly towards the end. 
    The rest of the week has been spent getting back to reading and planning my Camp Nano novel, as well as obsessively geeking out over The Amazing Spiderman, the Newsies soundtrack and Comic Con spoilers for Glee and Dr Who. I did have some friend’s over on Friday who I used to do musical theatre with, it was so nice just catching up with all the drama and generally pigging out over horror films and RENT. 
    I also tried out my Models Own Nail art pens, which I’m terrible at using at the moment. Definitely need to learn how to have steady hands.
    I’m also on my two week countdown till my placement starts. I’m generally really excited but nerves really hit me the other day and I really need to get organising travel, admin and a working wardrobe too. 
    Finally, I’ve also now have a page if you’re interested in PR/Ad spots on my blog. It’s the tab at the top of the page, just send me over an email if you’re interested.
