I started this blog back in February as a bit of fun and something to do but I am already hooked and borderline obsessed! I love finding new things to do to my blog and new fashions to write about.
Since I was little I have always loved fashion, dressing up and designing my own outfits. Then I realised I was no good at drawing so my attentions turned to the business side of the fashion industry rather than the pure creative. For the last six years I have wanted to be a fashion buyer, so off I went to University to study Retail Management with Buying. I absolutely loved it and it convinced me that a fashion buying career is the one for me!
As anyone who has tried to get into the fashion industry knows, it is extremely hard. So after countless rejections and no replies, I decided to take a gap year. What better time than any to move away and do something completely different, whilst I have no commitments. So here I am with my boyfriend, Ash, on the Gold Coast, Australia. I am completely in love with the lifestyle out here, it is so laid back and I spend my free days chilling around the pool or beach topping up my tan and reading a book! Whilst I love it out here, I am coming back to the UK in October and will be putting everything into getting my foot on the career ladder and becoming a successful fashion buyer!
