I feel like I’m apologising far too much for my absence on MNSFL but I have some super exciting news: I HAVE A REAL JOB. Not only is it a ‘proper job’ (all students/ ex – students will understand), it’s a fashion writing position based in Bristol. How exciting is that! What’s more, it’s working with my favourite designer brands, such as Vivienne Westwood, Victoria Beckham and Versace (the 3V’s).

So this blog is more a chance for me to express my excitement via words and to explain why I’ve been away, than to speak pure fashion but please follow my journey anyway! Instead of apologising for my lack of writing, I will propose that my blog will now be written once weekly as trying to juggle a job (which I started on Wednesday), my degree and this blog is getting quite difficult.

So, I am now a fully fledged fashion writer for Garment Quarter in Bristol. Check out our website: https://www.garmentquarter.com and get involved, this boutique may be small but it’s a fabulous profitable business with some high – end designer brands that will probably be of interest to most of you reading.

Let me show you around anyway:

My new office! Looking very professional!

My desk, and product description list

One of the most gorgeous Westwood bags this season – a timeless day bag!

In fact, I get to look at these beauties all day looooong!

I even spotted an absolute find for Mother Bear

Deciding to be the lovely daughter I am, I bought my mum one of the biggest new Westwood bags to hit our store and soon to hit nationwide. Pictured in a green hue with a leopard overlay, this new season essential just screams out to my mum! Let’s hope she loves it as much as I do. Can you believe I used the last of my money to buy her a bag and didn’t even use my generous discount on myself?! I have become altruistic in my professional life…

Looking intellectual, I’m hoping this new fashion world is for me because let’s face it guys – it’s everyone’s dream! After thinking about the film the ‘Devil Wears Prada’, I decided that i’m more like the Devil in Westwood – for now anyway! In a few years, if you see my blog post entitled ‘The Devil Wears Chanel’ you know i’ve made it!!

First day outfit. Ripped Jeans, All Saints top, Leather Jacket followed by a fur – body warmer and Kurt Geiger heeled boots. Teamed obviously with my timeless Moschino scarf!

Day 3 – More of a laid back look – with a LBD underneath a long All Saints cashmere sweater, teamed with black tights, black floppy hat, Westwood Seditionaries and a Westwood Scarf

So that’s what I’m doing if you don’t hear from me – and i’m swamped! But i’m definitely going to keep posting my various outfits here and hopefully you’ll see some major names when I start getting paid – yay!!

Imagine working here – aaaaaah!!

The most luxurious of boutiques!

Obviously it’s Valentines Day, and I received love in the shape of a little turquoise box… which can only be…. Tiffany!

The best jewellery box!

If you know me, you will know i’ve worn Tiffany from the age of two – so i’d like to think I’m a bit of a connoisseur with the brand. I have held an affinity with Tiffany even before I was born… intact, it’s just that, I was BORN to wear Tiffany.

Gorgeous present

So I’m also now wearing a Tiffany affinity ring which has ‘I love you’ engraved on the silver band – absolute J’adore. Couldn’t ask for a better gift – I’ve been the luckiest girl this week. From new job to new Tiffany, what could be better?

24 red roses delivered to me this Valentines – what a hopeless romantic

I almost forgot that I haven’t posted about my major 21st birthday present! Finally made to fit perfectly, I received this diamond – encrusted platinum princess – cut ring:

Pricing higher than a Rolex, and acting as an heirloom – this reduced me to tears!

The camera doesn’t do it justice – this is perhaps the most gorgeous diamond ring you will ever see – perhaps ever.

I still remember a quote from my favourite film Breakfast at Tiffany’s when Audrey Hepburn says:

Personally, I think it’s a bit tacky to wear diamonds before I’m 40.

Well on this occasion Audrey, I think you can never be too young for diamonds and having worn them round my neck and in my ears for years now, it’s the natural progression to having thousands of them in a ring also! Let’s hope my engagement ring will be half as fabulous….

So here’s to a great start to 2015 and let everyday be a great one!
