I’m in a bad mood, my GPS keeps pointing me in the wrong direction, I’m cold and pretty sure my shoes have got a hole in as my feet are soaking wet. I’m a stubborn girl and I’m determined to find this shop. Vivienne Westwood is an iconic and a celebrated British designer, which is why I’m on a mission to find her shop. My mind turned into a foggy blur as I stepped into the shop and it only became clear when I stepped into the downstairs area and there was the beautiful Anne Hathaway in the flesh. My heart was racing, wow a Hollywood actress in the flesh. Keeping dignity intact I simply compliment on her outfit and hoped she had a nice day, I felt rude for interrupting her day. I left the shop smiling and contained my excitement. I left in a happier mood with a spring in my soggy step.

My trip To Christian Dior
As I stepped out of the cab, the soft lights from inside the store reflected on the wet pavement. A tingle of excitement and I knew I was in for a treat. Dior bags lined the wall showing of their elegant designs, I wanted to own one. I want to be in that special world where I could be a Dior queen. Walking down the mirrored stairs, I have transformed into that Dior queen I have dreamt off. I’m wearing a white silky figure hugging mermaid evening dress, my hair is up in curls while having a dark maroon leather Dior clutch bag. Admiring my transformation in the mirror, I picked up a light musky brown fur coat from the store closet adding a classic finishing touch to an elegant new look. Calming my nerve and excitement, taking a deep breath I truly felt like a Dior queen
Dressing for sucess
Is there one thing my mum has always drummed in to me from an early age is that you need to dress for success, she would often give me lectures that you will not get anywhere in life looking like you been dragged through a hedge backward. Sure you might be the right person for the job but if you got a massive ketchup stain on your new shiny white shirt, don’t expect a call back, First impression always count which bring me to my point.
A wardrobe full of clothes and yet nothing to wear!
I’m having a dilemma, it a personal dilemma and it’s one that I’m sure everyone (even the boys) can relate to. How often do you look at wardrobe and relies that there is nothing to wear. I been having this crisis (of a sort) this week when on Monday I looked at my wardrobe and it drawn on me that I got nothing to wear for my work experience.
I was planning on going to Westfield this week but I been having a really bad chesty cough and I been helping my partner with his photography job, so instead I been turning to online shopping. This week I was sent a lovely discount voucher e-mail which gave the perfect excuse to shop online, so I had been surfing up a storm on online fashion shop such as Zara, H&M and my personal favourite, Miss Selfridges.
I’m your typical girlie girl, I love buying and wearing dresses so when I look at online fashion shops I always goes straight to the ‘dresses’ first. I had been (ahem) blessed with a lovely bramley apple figure so a lot of figure hugging dress doesn’t look good on me. I want to experience the feeling of being feminine and am that girlie girl I see when looking in the mirror.
I won’t go into details how I now have big black hole in my bank account or how the postman will be a busy bee next week. I don’t want my work experience to be turns into a fashion show where I’m competing for attentions but I want my clothes to reflect my confidence and that I means business, I am dressing for success. I do believe that first impression really does count and I want to give a good first impression and to make it firm and clear that I do belong here and I’m not afraid of any challenge, so bring it on.
