What working at Zara/working in retail taught me

You can learn something from absolutely anything you do, whether the thing you did was a good experience, or a bad one. When I finished university I knew that I wanted to travel before settling down and beginning work, so I knew that I had to spend a good few months earning some money to …

My experience with the Fashion Retail Academy

I'm really keen on a career in fashion PR or Marketing, but it's something I only became aware of/started to want to do when I was half way through my degree in Philosophy. Whilst I've absolutely zero regrets about uni and the degree choices I made, I thought that it would be good to get …

Christmas OOTD plans

OOTD = outfit of the day I love getting a new outfit for christmas day, it doesn't have to be especially glamorous or expensive, just to have something new and pretty to wear means that it's something extra to look forward to, a little treat to myself for christmas and it saves me frantically looking …

Prettylittlething bits I’m loving

I'm still going strong with my clothes buying ban, but there's no harm in looking is there? Wrong! There is harm, lots of harm.  My heart now aches and pines after all the beautiful things I've seen on Prettylittlething, they're absolutely KILLING it recently and I'm crushing on it all. I don't know why I …

The best of the BOOHOO sale

My recent trip to New York

If you read my recent blog post about my New York outfits, then you’ll already be aware that I went to New York with my dad and Mat last month over the Easter break (if you haven't, take a read). Going away with my dad and Mat is so much fun, we all bounce off …

Being Productive

We're always juggling loads of different commitments or tasks, and sometimes completing them all to the best of our ability seems impossible. It can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I don't think I am alone when I say that feeling overwhelmed can often lead to a decrease in productivity and motivation. It's often when we have …

Let’s make BOSS porridge.

I'm swamped with deadlines this week so I'm posting a blog that I've had sat in my reserves folder for a while. I think I've been hesitant to post it because it's not the most juicy or interesting post, but I still think it could be really beneficial and educational for some, so enjoy! For …
