Hi there! So here begins the obligatory ‘getting to know me’
first post.
I am a 25 year old girl living in London. I still can’t
quite bring myself to call myself a woman; I’m in that Britney phase. Even when
the comment ‘Timmy, watch that lady’ echoes in the chilled foods aisle at my
local Saino’s, I still never realise that a grown up could be talking about me
until I’m shoved out of the way of perusing the Cheesestrings (twisters only,
thanks) by Timmy. Anyway… I digress.
I am originally from Derby/Nottingham but I’ll always go
with the latter when asked because… well we all know why. After a year living
at home and attending Derby University, I realised how crap my course was and
that I was the only person I knew at 18 still living at home and not drinking
themselves silly and pretending to attend lectures in a foreign city. Even
though having a car, a part-time job, home cooked meals and a personal
launderer, (is that a word?...I LOVE YOU MUMMY)) sounds pretty swell, I needed
to get out of Nottingham. So after a year of living vicariously through various
friends in various cities, it was up and onwards to a much better
place…Sunderland (no comments please)! Off I went in my Seat Arosa 170 miles up
the A1 into Mackem land – yes there is a difference between Geordie and Mackems
and YES IT REALLY DOES MATTER.
After three years of many litres of cider and debauchery, I
actually managed to graduate with a BA in Dance. Even though Dance was my first
love and the idea was to have some kind of career in that field, predictably
it’s proved quite difficult to gain ANYTHING. So for now, I’m stuck in finance
doing accounts; and no, that’s not a joke. I have always had a massive love for
fashion and beauty, and since moving to London my tastes and opportunities (to
shop in bigger and more expensive shops) have broadened and now I’m finally
dipping my toe into the world of blogging!
So that’s me I guess! As I continue to write I’m sure you’ll
get to know me a bit better, including my love for cats, cheese, wine, pickled
onions and of course the reason I’m here, fashion, beauty and my life in
London.
