i literally have no time to blog these days! i'm working almost all the time lately, as i've got myself a summer job at monsoon and accessorize! i absolutely love it and i'm hoping to stay on after my temporary contract runs out, so fingers crossed. the girls are lovely and they have me doing lots of visual merchandising for them, sale stock, homeware displays, transitional stock floor plans - the lot! when i'm visual merchandising my days go fast and it's such a satisfying thing to do, maybe i could go into VM as a career option - that would be amazing to try out! these snaps were hurridly taken on my lunch break!

summer bonfires in our dirty garden, burning brambles and junk mail.

cute moon charm wish bracelets and congratulatory cards from an amazing friend back home.

my recent glastonbury wristband addition and afforementioned moon bracelet with my other wrist attire

my poorly eye instructions - never sleep in your contact lenses!

my new favourite lunch break berry treat

kirsty's new do, she looks very 'charlotte free' i think.

waking up in my new sheets every morning for work.

making scrunchies out of waste material from dresses i've cut up.

sunshine and wine for a drunken birthday gathering.

identical sunnies i found on eBay to replace the urban outfitters pair i lost in a dreaded glastonbury portaloo.

my new bargain topshop patent chelsea boots that i haven't taken off my feet since bought. t:shirt: h&m, shorts: tk maxx/DIY, necklace: primark, boots: topshop, bag: so old i've forgotten.

spontaneous nights out and photobombs with two of my favourite girls, bill and beth.

and my new favourite southern comfort cocktail in the cutest glasses (which we pinched).

about as summery as i go

okay so this is me, pretty much as summer acceptable as i get. i'm the worst for warm weather dressing as i somehow still always end up in black skinnies but i'm pushing myself and my amounts of skin exposure i promise.

i'm not really going to apologise for my lack of blogging lately.. i've had a fair few trials and tribulations on my plate recently - varying from the loss of my beautiful little dog right through to some ridiculously painful ulcers on the pupil or my right eye and so on. but blah blah blah, hopefully my run of bad luck is up because i'm going to think and be more positive, healthy and active from now on.

i've also got myself a new summer job, i'm currently working in monsoon and accessorise pretty much full time and its such a lovely retail job. even though i've only been there two weeks i feel like part of there family and have been given loads of interesting merchandising tasks in accessorise to keep me busy throughout the day! the girls who work there are all lovely and its all been very warm and welcoming so far, even throughout my eye hospital fiasco! monsoon/accessorize seems like such a lovely caring company to work for so far!

life update over: playsuit from yayer and dr.martens from scorpio. the blonde hair is from a recent quarter life crisis and radical image change i was seeking a few weeks back. going to bleach again soon if my hair condition allows. IM GOING MENTAL, it seems.

glasonbury 2013 was the best five days ever

glastonbury was literally the best thing ever, i can't imagine never ever NOT going again! i loved everything from the deep house tent in silver hayes dance village, being able to wake up to the band playing on the other stage every morning, to going to the circus whenever we wanted, to weaving through the south east corner stumbling upon the best clubs and secret movie sets, to sitting in the healing fields getting henna tattoos, to dancing in the rain on the beat hotel sign, to wandering through the amazing stalls and markets filled with embellished everything, to watching ben howard make a crowd cry with amazingness, to seeing the stones live, to watching the xx absolutely kill it and every other moment in between.

same again next year?
