WHAT I WORE

Lookbook | Chictopia
Top: H&M | Jeans: ONLY*
Flatforms: ASOS | Clutch: Dorothy Perkins
Necklace: New Look

I think the green in these pictures is a little deceiving and gives the impression the weather is glorious! I'm sure most of you will agree with me when i say it couldn't be further from it. Luckily there was a gap in rain clouds earlier so i could nip out and take the photos! As i type this the rain is once more hitting the sky lights above me. Summer, what summer?

I finally got round to sticking some items on eBay over the weekend. The free listings sold it for me in the end and i finally found the motivation to do it! I've set up a brand new account just for selling (even though i did accidentally buy some nail wheels from it earlier!) so that's why i don't have any ratings and i can only sell X amount of items. I'm hoping to increase that ASAP and stick some more on there when these end on Sunday afternoon.

I know i say this every month, but i cannot believe we're in to the 5th month of the year already! It's so strange to think that this time last year i was in design and production haze and coming to the end of my degree, it has honestly flown by! Because it's the start of the month it also means the adverts over to the left have been updated and i must admit there's some fab shops/bloggers on there this month! Just click their picture and it'll take you to their site!

But now on to some pretty exciting news! After a few weeks of emails, phone calls and meetings, I'm very happy/excited to announce that I have a brand new sparkly job! I will be dipping my toes into the heady world of fashion/beauty journalism, working for a design agency in Sheffield. I'm very proud that something (my blog), which once started off as a hobby, has given me this amazing opportunity. It also proves that something always comes up when you least expect it! For those wondering, i will still be living in Leeds but commuting in and also working from home. This also explains why I've been shopping at lot online, I've had to buy some suitable work wear, this gold box top and necklace were part many purchases! I'm SO excited about it and i can't wait to get stuck in!

I hope you all have a lovely week whatever you're up to! I'm currently in a snot and swollen gland related hell so i hope you feel better than i do!
