Being a good cousin

So today was busy!
Here's what I was wearing today. I've decided to embrace accesories as I've lost my way with them over the past year but I had a bit of an eBay splurge recently and annoyed the poor postman with the amount I ordered! My two necklaces here are from eBay, la-la-love eBay!

Playsuit - River Island
Blazer - Topshop
Belt - River Island
Tights - Primark
Shoes - Primark

Firstly, I interviewed Daniel Sloss over the phone and it went really well! Nice addition to Brig this issue and it's the second time i've interviewed him and he's as nice as ever. First time I interviewed him face to face last year for an underage festival and he's even bigger now. Off to see him live on Wednesday so that should be fun. :)

So after my interiew I went to visit my cousin in hospital because she's broken her leg the wee soul. Being the good cousin I am I painted her nails and did her hair and make up. Turns out the ladies on her ward thought it was a great wee thing to do and made my cousin feel miles better! Poor soul is now lying in a hospital bed with bright green nail polish and a St Tropez glow but what can you do!
After dolling my cousin up I had a look around the shops and found a few beauts in River Island which I feel I need to share. I found this amazing black playsuit with wave collar and belt detail. Nothing like a playsuit to pull you in at the waist and give curve to the hips. A playsuit like this creates an hourglass silhouette without being too obvious. The buttons are popping open when I wear it though so a few stitches to narrow the eye-lets should do the trick!
I also snagged this red blazer in the sale, very Duran Duran but looks surprisingly less 80's when it's on!





Now i'm planning my interview questions for tomorrow as I'm doing two interviews! Busy much? First i'm interviewing a wind turbine company then my old chemisty teacher so I should really get started.

Later, gater ;) x

The Michaelmas daisies

The Michaelmas daisies are growing so tall,
They reach right over the garden wall.
I wonder, I wonder, "Oh what can they see?"
For the Michaelmas daisies are taller than me.

My dad used to say this poem to me and I can't find it anywhere on the internet.
I think that's kind of nice. Then it's special :)

Well, not since i've fucked up and shoved it on the internet, but you get where i'm coming from.

So I've never had a blog before

But I feel like it might be time to start.

I'm home from uni for mid-semester. This, to me, means I have three people to interview and 1000 words left to write of an essay. Instead, I have re-activated my blog, had a bash at twitter and listened to Cher Lloyd. Oh dear.

But before I leave to shower before work, coffee doesn't serve itself I'm adding a post to this blog that i'm hoping will gain me a job in journalism. If it doesn't, at least I tried.
I've always been opposed to blogs as, no offence, I don't read any. But if this gets me a job in journalism or research then there's n o harm in that really is there?

Maybe I should use this to talk about fashion but to be honest, I don't claim to know a great deal about it, I just enjoy it.
To talk about fashion however! I recently bought an un-tied bow tie from a closing down tie rack and I have made it my mission to wear it this week for one of my interviews. I stole this look from Katy Perry on the X Factor and I like the idea that masculine can be feminine.

Once I get this outfit together I will attempt to post a picture, if I manage to find out how to.

I am now 10 minutes over my alloted time of blogging before showering for work.

Goodbye to those who are not reading.

New to this

but if it helps me pass journalism... :)
