The New Girl

So this past week I have been pretty quiet with my posts but my reason for this is because I started my new job! My first week of being the new girl has been absolutely amazing and I have a feeling that this is the start of something really good! I am continuing with Product Development but this time in hair care. One of the highlights? My new location is Covent Garden, need I say more?! The atmosphere is amazing, not to mention the shopping, oh and did I mention I finish at 1pm on a Friday? Winning!

My new team are lovely, I couldn't ask for a nicer mix of people (age, gender etc.) everyone has been so welcoming which has put me 100% at ease! I have wasted no time in throwing myself into my projects along with endless induction meetings, I feel as though I have blinked and missed this whole week (not complaining at all!) Now that I am a city girl I commute by train, something everyone had made sound so negative, but it's not been too bad, the one thing my journey is missing is a good book, which will be purchased over the weekend!

The first day outfit choice was a big decision (when isn't outfit choice a big decisions?) and this office is a lot more formal than what I am used to, however, we do have dress down Fridays! I was unsure about footwear so opted for loafers, however, due to being 5ft 1" and the fact everyone else wears heels Monday-Thursday, I will be definitely joining the rest of them to save feeling and looking like a child. But after Tuesdays footwear choice resulting in major blisters, trainers will be my choice for my journey!

ASOS PETITE Trouser with High Waist

Russel & Bromley Chester Tassle Loafer

I felt this outfit looked smart but also edgy, I teamed it with my gold accessories and my red Hermes Birkin!

I am looking forward to sharing my new role with you all along with my Covent Garden adventures.

Sugarhut Shenanigans

Friday night consisted of champagne, vodka and spag bowl in the comfort of my second home, Georges' house, an evening that sounded so relaxed equaled 3 people getting sick, pie in the face and shots of 70% rum! So, after finally recovering from the hangover from hell and a serious anxiety meltdown, I was due to join my friend Isabelle for a night out to celebrate her 21st.

My anxiety almost stopped me from missing out on girls night out that I was seriously in need of and I am so glad I didn't let it beat me. We had dinner at one of my fave restaurants, The Fat Turk Meze & Grill, Ongar. Turkish food is the gift from Gods as far as I am concerned. This was also my choice of restaurant for my birthday and Valentines!

Strawberry daiquiri was my choice of beverage, of course along endless skittle vodka shots. It wouldn't have been a celebration without some pink vodka clearly! 4 of us then made our way to the most Essex of them all nightclubs, Sugar Hut, Brentwood. We danced until our tootsies seriously couldn't take anymore which was difficult because the music was incredible. There were such a mixed bunch of people, ages, accents etc. and it was a real eye opener on how men approach women on a night our, I swear, a man barked in my face?! When did it become acceptable for a man to bark in a women's face, shortly after, myself and Isabelle were patted on the head, another move I cannot say I have seen in action before! It got to the end of the night and then there were 3 before making our way home and there is no better way to finish a night out than by having a heart to heart with you Mum until 4am!

I adored my outfit choice which was a black, plunge halter neck dress with lace detail. Plunge isn't usually my sort of thing, but I was clearly feeling daring! The dress was from Rare and a steal at £49.00 (find it here). I paired it with black Christian Louboutin shoes and my caviar Chanel handbag and finished it with my Christian Louboutin satin rouge lipstick. 

Take a look at my next post devoted to Saturday night's make up look.
