Denim Shirt: c/o Ellos
White v-neck t-shirt: Primark
Dusty pink skinny jeans: Primark
White plimsols: Vans

I meant to get this post ready last week but I was blessed with a stinking cold - I don't seem to get the sniffle but full on head cold where it feels like it's going to fall off - and I was also taken by suprise by a job offer! More on that later!

This was the denim shirt I was kindly gifted by Ellos. I've been after the perfect denim shirt for ages. I wanted one that was just the right shade, fitted enough to look right tucked in but not too fitted it looks silly undone and just the right length to not make me feel awkward about my child-bearing hips. This Ellos one ticked all the boxes! It has the perfect amount of stretch and feels lovely and soft on my skin. Once agin I think it's going to be a staple - everyone needs a denim shirt in their wardrobe. Ellos actually have a cracking sale on at the minute which is well work a little splurge!


So I have a job. A proper full-time permenant job on a magazine! To be honest I was beginning to think this day would never come. It's been a hard year doing internships since I left Uni and being offered short-term contracts here and there. I craved the stability so that I could get one foot on the career ladder and start moving up in the world. I actually went for this job last year but unfortuately didn't get it. I received a phone call last week to state I was actually second choice for the job and as the orginial candidate had left, was I interested in it! Needlessly to say I was shocked. My full title will be junior picture researcher on Love It! magazine and I can't wait to get my teeth stuck in. It shows if you have a dream, never ever give up. It might take a long time getting there but it will come true in the end. You've just got to have a little faith!

  10. Congratulations on your job. I'm in a similar position to you prior to your new career, I have a few questions if that's ok? what were you studying at uni? I'm doing my honours in commercial music but want to get into journalism, hearing about people getting magazine jobs without doing a journalism degree, is this the case with you? and also, how did you manage to intern for a year, i presume unpaid?! x

  15. Thanks for replying to me! My twitter is @laurajaynesings :) Ah that's a bit scary for me then! I've got a lot of work experience and done a few internships at magazines, and doing my dissertation on music journalism, so hopefully that will be enough to push me where I need to be! Interning for free is scary though, I live 500 miles-ish from my parents :/ wish me luck! and congratulations again :) x
