work experience: day two

I strolled into work today a couple of hours late- which was great it meant a little sleep in! Today my activities were pretty much the same as yesterday. The shop was dumped with a whole lot of new summer gear all of which were in the tones blues, purples, beiges and greys... unfortunately all this clothes meant hours of sorting, tagging and pricing. Working at a clothing store is a 'dangerous job' as my mum says, because i walk about imagining all the clothes in the shop sitting in my cupboard! I'm really enjoying the retail environment; i love admiring all the different customers try on the clothes, i like admiring the way certain necklines flatter different body types and different clothes make skin and eye colours pop. I would say that I'm acquiring new knowledge working- most definitely a different sort of knowledge to my peers at the law firms but i'm still loving it.

as promised, heres todays outfit...









(Today I'm wearing) : a shirt by a brand named 'Somi', 
its rouched on the sleeves and on the back and embroidered all over the front. 
I usually wear this with my leather jacket but i was in a rush out of the house today so this different sided fur vest was the easiest top layer to add on. I'm wearing my blue Bettina's which have worked me through 3 seasons of summer and winter. I'm never wearing shoes when these photos are taken but i was wearing knee high mushroom coloured leather boots as well. 
the necklace I'm wearing is like my latest discovery. I found it in mums jewelery draw... but she bought it on her last trip to India ... its uber awesome, these photos don't do it justice. 

until tomorrow xxx

work experience week

Hola much adored smily gypsy kids,  

This week as a part of the year 10 school curriculum i am participating in 'work experience week' which is a week where you get to experience your preferred work field. All my friends are doing all these meaningful things that will (most likely) be bloody boring and they will hate so i took the lighter option and decided to chose something that i may not consider in the future but i certainly love now. I am working at a clothing shop on possibly my favourite shopping street in the whole of Melbourne (High St) called Eco-D.

I wasn't so nervous going into the work field as i already have a job at Bakers Delight and i am a pretty chatty person as it is so it was chilled putting myself in a new, daunting environment. It was more a- 'what the fuck am i going to wear scenario' so last night i planned my 5 favourite winter looks. I guess a photo for each day would be appropriate, so heres todays look...






This outfit consisted of my fav Arabella Ramsay animal print leggings, Kirrily Johnston long grey throw on and faux fur fest that i always steal off Manf which we found in a market in Paris a couple of years ago. I was also wearing these ripper tan ankle cowboy boots that i picked up on sale at Witchery (the last pair in Victoria- epic win!) 

Today was like a fairy tale. I was alice trapped in a wonderland of beautiful clothing. Today such jobs included sorting and pulling looks for the next season summer, organising, tidying, folding and suggesting. Although i was stuck on my feet for most of the day there was NOTHING i would rather be doing more... when your passionate about something you can talk about it all day... for me that 'something' is clothes.

"When We Were Younger"

Last night i had the partay bus that i bought the 'minnie mouse' costume for. The party, although starting with a bit of a speedbump ended up to be a fun night. A night filled with little bunnies, vomit and a really f-ed up bus!

A couple of snaps from the evening..

Defend the people

Well, I have had a pretty good STUDY FREE weekend now that exams are over! I still have one more week of school until the 2 week Winter break, where Jess and I are heading off to Bali! I seriously CAN NOT WAIT! I am so ready to get out of this miserable Melbourne weather, and get into some nice tanning weather! Bring on the vitamin D!

Anyway, I spent last night chilling out at my best friend Max's house. Max is getting ready to set off on what sounds like it's going to be an incredible trip! He is off to Europe for a few weeks, then he's living in Israel for 6 months! Aaaah, what to do for 6 months without him!? Here are just a few picas from last night.
