The final piece in the puzzle!

When I came back to uni the 1st thing in my mind was to find a job, every day I went out to the town to find a job, I swear I gave out 30 C.Vs into stores! And I finally have got a job! YAY! It is a store called 'Jigsaw' which is a high end fashion store and it was the MOST DIFFICULT job interview I have ever done! I was asked to find an outfit for a 30 year old woman who has just given birth and wants to return to work, however she also wants to wear it on a night out. I also had to choose an outfit that she could wear in the day time. I was petrified at the task but all I could say was 'great, was size is she'....?! What?! I was sent onto the shop floor, breathing grew difficult....but luckily it seems that everything worked out well!
Just to give you a taste of the fashion in the store, here is some images from their autumn range courtesey of the Jigsaw website. I'll keep you informed on how my first day goes!

Lisa Mitchell- the 'honeycracked' voice




I have always been an advocate of female singer/songwriters and Lisa Mitchell is no exception. I encountered her music video for her new song 'Coin Laundry' and I have been hooked on her ever since. Her 'candy-coated folk-pop' just makes me want to jump about and be completely creative. You have probably heard one of her songs 'neopolitan dreams' on the 'Surf'' advert. Just play her songs on a summer/autumn crispy day and you will be lost in your imagination. The lyrics are so clever as well, they may be 'sugar-coated' but she brings hidden depth to her songs that makes you follow her journey. If you like Emiliana Torrini's voice, then you'll like her.






- I LOVE the album cover! Puts me in an Autumn mood!
Seriously, download/buy her album; You'll love it. I do :)
