Bloody hell it's freezing out there!!
How is it this cold??
Ok yeah I know its winter but still!!!!
I've never been a fan of winter...I'm still not!!
How rude of me.
Hello Everyone!!
It's good to see you all again!!
How is everyone??
Full of cold??
Doesn't surprise me.
My nose runs and then my eyes water - hate it!!
Anyway...
This was me on Wednesday after popping in to London.
Have you ever had one of those moments when you just thought O M G WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?!?!?!?! I have them quite a lot mostly for the worst reasons.
I received an email last week asking me if I would like to get involved with a fashion website, (I won't mention their name yet just in case they change their minds HA HA). I remember reading the email when I woke up and being completely shocked and confused (all my pestering paid off). We all know what I'm like so I consulted with the parentals and decided to go in for a chat. As my Dad rightly pointed out you need to know what you're signing up for. The last thing I wanted to do is waste their time. The chat was set to take place in a week's time. Fast forward one week and it was time. I left home early as there was lot's of frost around and apparently the trains were playing up. I got to the station (after running around like a headless chicken) to get my train. I ended up getting a delayed train so long story short I was up at Covent Garden by 9:30am, I was half an hour early!! I did originally plan on going for a coffee or something; but when I noticed that the Apple store was open I thought I might as well pop in. I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Pro or an iMac; but as you all know I'm a complete techno phobe so I have no idea what I'm looking at. I got talking to a nice lady who was asking me what I was looking for, what I was going to use it for etc. After explaining all about the laptops and computers, she recommended I get a 15 inch Macbook Pro which is £2,299!! I literally had a heart attack when I saw the price. That is way too much money for me to spend on a laptop and I know it's a good laptop but still. It would literally take me 2 years to save up and I can't wait that long. Anyway I ran up to Neal Street soon after and buzzed the door. (I always hate buzzing doors because I never know what to say). I went up to the reception area, where I was met and taking up to their offices (it sounds so dull). To begin with I was really confused as I was sat at a table and given a Mac, eventually I was kinda like 'what's going on??' But I was told that they person I was there to see wasn't in yet; so they wanted to give me something to do rather then wait around. It wasn't long till the chat began and I wasn't sure what to expect. Whenever the words work experience or internship is mentioned I get all anxious. But in this instance it wasn't and I felt really relaxed. So long story short I would say I'm a contributor and have been given a street style project to do. Initially I was really excited but when I realised I would have to talk to complete strangers, I kinda went in to O M G REALLY mode which happens a lot. It means I pop in to HQ 2 or 3 times a week to work on it and in the meantime I go looking for stylish people. So if you see me come and say hi and I might even take your photo. While I was there I helped out with a couple of their features which was really fun; but now my clicky wrist REALLY hurts. I started taking photos yesterday in town which was really nerve racking; but thankfully I saw a colleague of mine and convinced her to let me take her photo. Overall I definitely think this is going to be an interesting project.
To the outfit...
For once I knew exactly what I was going to wear. When I bought this lovely looking t-shirt at River Island on Thursday; I knew I had to wear it especially with my red blazer. Now I absolutely love this t-shirt and ever since I saw it on the River Island website I knew I had to have it. It was £15 but I got money off (I took back a necklace/student shop in); so I ended up getting it for £9.60 which to me is a complete BARGAIN!! You know me I love my graphic t-shirts so this is perfect for me. They do it now in white with a black logo which I think might have to be mine. I didn't really accessorize this outfit apart from my new H&M scarf. I know everyone is buying tartan scarves, but I kinda got hooked on the trend and decided to hunt for one. I stumbled upon this one when I was browsing the H&M website; but it was £7.99 and I thought it would be smaller then it was. I decided to look at it in person but I never got round to it. So when I looked back on the website when the sale started and saw it was £4, I knew it was a no brainer and bought it immediately. I've worn it since it came (which was Tuesday); and I really like it plus its sooooo soft!!
I'm a bit annoyed today as I've tried to publish my haul video 3 times and each time my laptop keeps dying. I've literally had enough off it so I'm going to definitely get a new one.
I'm going to try and upload my video tomorrow and if it doesn't work I think I'll scream!!
Wish me luck!!
Btw this is the link to the video of the focus group from last week - http://themuse.tv/2012/12/the-muse-tv-nintendo-special-style-boutique-launch/
