JANUARY 2015

So as you can probably tell this blog hasn't become a weekly thing so lets try monthly.
The first month of 2015 will be coming to a close in a week and lets face it, it was a depressing month.

December on the other hand was magical. My Internship at Look Magazine was surreal; having lunch over looking the Shard and having my name printed on glossy paper in the credits in a magazine I subscribe to. Assisting Lucy Clifford on the Lingerie shoot was definitely the highlight; the Welsh model Remy Green complemented my leather boots from Clarks and I realised she was wearing the same. As they say you cant judge someone till you walk a mile in their shoes so to wear the shoes of a model? I will take that type of gratification thank you very much.

 

So as I was saying the high of living and breathing the London dream in harsh contrast to the January blues is all in all...depressing.

I am still working at Karen Millen as a Stylist, although I am cursing the day I ever decided to sign the part time contract and struggle financially. I thought there might be some sort of poetic notion in doing the thing you love and struggling to make ends meet as so many bohemian, penniless writers do in films but the truth is there isn't. Although it is not all doom and gloom, I had an interview in London at KM HQ for the role of Design Admin Coordinator and had the privilege of being interviewed by the PA for Karen Millen's CEO. Whilst sitting in the light spacious office with only a pane of glass between myself and the famous Karen Millen Atelier I thought, this is where I need to be.

On the train ride home, returning to our room at Mikey's Mums with boxes of all our belongings waiting in anticipation for their final destination, it occurred to me; if I didn't get this job how much longer could I postpone our lives together for the sake of a career? Depressing huh?
