Office clothes

I recently got offered a job working in an office, which is AMAZING and extremely EXCITING news!!! The only problem is that I have hardly any clothes suitable for working in an office environment. This lead to an afternoon of shopping.

Harbour Town was my first option.
A: It's cheap :)
B: It's got Portmans and Cue... which lets face it, are some of the best options for women's work wear.
C: Two of my friends work there.

The trip started as a bit of a disaster. It was pouring down with rain. My mate and I had to sprint from the Cat Bus, while trying to desperately stop our umbrellas from turning inside out and not get run over by traffic. Once we successfully made it into shopping centre, I realised Harbour Town did't have a full roof covering it. This meant there were wet patches of water on the ground. Greeeaaaattttt... We were both wearing little ballet flat shoes as well.

Lession one learnt: Wear boots when its raining...even if they slightly wreck your outfit.
Lession two: Get a better umbrella. (I was extremely jealous of one girls umbrella that literally came down around her head. Who new they existed?)

Once we were in, coffee and food were the main things on our mind. After we got lunch out of the way, we started our hunt for office clothes. This lasted a whole 30 seconds, when we saw Ally. Such a pretty (and cheap) shop! My eyes slowly wandered to the floral cardigans and dresses. I proudly resisted the clothing, telling myself I was only here to buy work stuff.

Wild Horses

Due to my new Natasha Beddingfield obsession, I'm gonna share another song of hers with you that I love. It's called "wild horses"and is about how she longs for the freedom of wild horses in her own life. She sings about the idea of breaking free, not worrying about consequences, and opening up despite the heart ache that might come.
The strong and heart-spoken lyrics are backed-up by the passion Natasha sings them with. It's a truely beautiful song that can make anyone want to realise a bit of their wild side.

New music obsession

Natasha Beddingfield

I randomly came across her song "unwritten" and became attached to the lyrics. It's one of those songs I can listen to over and over again and never get sick of. The inspiration and wisdom in the lyrics makes me appreciate Natasha and her talent.

Side note - Yes... its the theme song of The Hills... makes me like that show a bit more now haha

Listen here

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin


No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
