Punctuality isn't my strong point. I was never good at getting to school on time, my assignments were all handed in at five to the hour, and friends have always had to add at least 10 minutes to my ETA. So when I started this blog in my university dorm room back in 2009, I guess I was a naive in thinking I'd be any good at sticking to regular updates: the #1 rule of blogging. Instead, adopting a more scatty approach, I've dragged it round the world with me, updating it daily - hourly even - at times when I've been most inspired before neglecting it for weeks when reality strikes and real life needs me. For that reason you could say I'm a bad blogger. And I'd agree. But nevertheless, I don't give up on things. Least of all when those things hold so much personal significance, reading like a diary of some of the most exciting months of your life. Instead, I'm going to carry on just like normal from here, ignoring the six month hiatus and apologising now for the next editorial wane. (But I will try extra hard this time, I promise.) As you can imagine, a couple of things have changed.
Since June:
-I've graduated. I'm now an alumni of the University of Leeds, holding first class honours in Fashion Design.
-I took on the job of Refinery29's London editorial assistant.
-I moved out of my city sky rise apartment in Leeds, sad times.
-I holidayed in Croatia, and spent 10 joyous days in my bikini.
-I said goodbye to 20 years of blonde hair and crossed over to the dark side.
-I followed the bright lights and moved to London.
-Then even brighter, yuppy-style lights to Islington, the place for now I call home.
-I became an editor at
ModMods.com, and love helping it grow and grow.
-I had my most sophisticated New Years so far. No drunken antics, no broken windows, no hangover.
(On a lesser note, I also learnt how to make poached eggs and finally found the perfect pair of thigh-high boots.)
