I've moved to the big city



So this was probably more scary than when I moved away to Uni! But this was an opportunity I definitely couldn't pass on. After 2 years of applying, emailing and interviewing for countless amounts of jobs, I was finally lucky enough to get offered a job as Social Media and Sales Assistant with Olive&Moss, the company I did a 2 week placement for in May. 
So in July, I packed up my life, squeezed it into my Dad's car (just) and moved to South East London. Talk about scary! 

See, I said it was a squeeze!

And here's my new room...

What can I say, I like floral print!

The Months of May & June

A month after I did my Fat Face Work Experience, I was lucky enough to get another placement (it's true what they say, you wait ages and nothing...then everything happens at once!) 
I worked 2 weeks at Olive&Moss, a baby and toddler clothing company based in West Dulwich, London. I helped them with some Graphic Design work for their Autumn/Winter catalogue. Check out their website, if you've got a little one, you'll love their stuff! http://www.oliveandmoss.com/

JUNE
We went to Glastonburrrrrryyyyy! This was my third year going, and as usual, we had an absolutely brilliant time. Who cares that you don't get to shower for 5 days? Embrace the babywipes I say! The fact that you get to spend 5 days, with some of your closest friends, having a few ciders in the sun (if you're lucky) watching your favourite bands, is my idea of heaven. 



It's been a while...

OK, so it's been an extremely long time since I've blogged. 5 months to be exact-eek! However, I feel I have a very good excuse...I got a new job! :D Wheeeey! And it's in London, so have had to pick up my life in Cardiff, and move it 3 hours across the M4...that's a pretty good excuse I feel. OK maybe not 5 months worth of an excuse, but I'll be good from now on!
So instead of boring you with 5 months worth of blogs, I'll quickly give you some highlights in photo form...

April
Sooo, I used to work in a Fat Face store in Cardiff and, thanks to my awesome Manager, Stacey, she managed to get me work experience in the Women's Design Department at their Head Offices. Was only for a week but was definitely beneficial and pretty cool to see how the clothes are all designed and produced. Plus everyone was lovely! This little fella was just casually hanging out by reception.




Also...we got a dog!! :D




And here's the little beaut herself. Her names Roxy, and she's a 22 month old Chocolate labrador from Dogs Trust. And she is GORGEOUS!
