Let's take a vacation





So I'm back from my holibobs and have really enjoyed it. Mallorca really is a beautiful place and the turquoise waters are truly exquisite. Was so good to get away from the mundane routine of work etc and just relax. I did however miss all of London Fashion Week- what an error for a Fashion Blogger, but I'm thoroughly enjoying indulging in catching up on the going ons of the epic event and am especially loving these Street Style pictures and this video from the Topshop Unique show.

Whilst away I did treat myself to two new purchases...



I have wanted the Flowerbomb perfume for a while and I am so glad I bought it as the scent is really sensual and feminine. It's very light and could be worn in the day or in the evening. It's floral fantastic!

PS It's good to be back in the land of blogging ;)

Dreaming




So, it's September, one of my favourite months. Really glad that the Autumn/Winter season can officially begin, even though I've been dressing for it for the last couple of weeks. Here's one of my favourite outfits at the moment...a burgundy vintage pleated skirt, tan Chelsea boots and an old favourite striped jumper from H&M.

I've titled the post 'Dreaming' just to reflect on how I seem to be feeling at the moment. Currently very disillusioned with my job, which is working as a HR & Communications Assistant for a charity in Newcastle. Some aspects are absolutely great and very rewarding however for me HR is not a direction I want to be going in. I have studied Journalism to a postgraduate level and really want to be able to use those skills in a job that I really enjoy..hence the 'dreaming'

I am realistic at how hard it is to become a writer, let alone a Fashion Writer however this is my dream and I have decided I need to get out there and try and get into a role where I feel I can use my skills. So, that's the plan for September...find a role for me, rather than a role that isn't me...if you know what I mean?
