Today I think I ate my entire body weight in food. My boss & I got invited to a catering event to sample the new corporate menu for hospitality events put on at my company. We had pomegranite punch & fresh lemonade, followed by tray after tray of delicious canapes; mini ceasar salads, cheese wrapped in courgette, honey glazed sausages, tempura prawns...followed by thai green curry and sticky rice. For dessert, lime & vodka sorbet (always a good day when its acceptable to consume vodka at work), and these amazing mini chocolate liquer mousses with strawberry pieces. A-mazing!

I was also lucky enough to be invited to a private screening of the new Morning Glory movie. As its centred around a failing tv production called Daybreak (Coincidence, much?) they feature Autoscript products in the movie. As we are work closely with Autoscript, they kindly invited us to come along to a luxury venue for complimentary beverages (never one to miss a beverage, me!) and then to watch the movie.

So flattered to be invited and included in work events. I wake up everyday and think about how lucky I am to be doing what Im doing and i never take it for granted, not for a second. Im so happy to have finally found my feet in an industry that I know I want to work in. Gotta love TV land.

Morning Glory Trailer

Scandelous!

Talk of the Gray-Keys comments dominated conversation at work today.
Any football fans out there? What do you make of it all?

Today I wore:

Jumper with buckle detailing around the neck: Jane Norman
Leggings - Topshop


So nice to come home to a cuddle with Mol!

Build me up, Buttercup

I'm a big fan of this Piz Buin self tanner.

It's a self tanning tinted lotion - applied like a moisturiser and sinks in very quickly. I don't find that this leaves my skin at all greasy, which I do find with other cream tanners. It is tinted with the intention of you being able to see where you have applied it, although I find the colour blends with your skin very quickly so its still hard to see where it has been applied.
One big massive thumbs up I will give this product is the smell. It smells light and lovely when it is applied, and continues to smell lovely. There is nil trace of that trademark fake tan smell. Bonus!
I apply this before bed, and then wake up with a lovely natural tint to my face. I repeat the next night if i want to look a little more tanned. I also have this in the spray version which I use to cover larger areas like my legs, but this cream is perfect for the face and neck. Thumbs up :)

Calling all Fashionistas

I recieved these beauties for Christmas:


My mum kindly tracked these down for me after I spotted my 16 (!!) year old cousin sporting these at a family party.

I'm dying to wear them, but my question is - what on earth do I wear them with? A pair of killer heels is a given, but a skirt? dress-top? shorts?

What would you wear them with?x

The title of this post effectively describes exactly how I feel right now.
I am currently holed up in my bed with my cat Molly, feeling like i've been beaten round the head with a cricket bat.

What I initially thought was a raging hangover the morning after a night of work drinks (we went for a 'few' to the bar next door, but before too long myself, one of our presenters and another colleague had managed to demolish three bottles of Rose) however copious amounts of water, hangover food and painkillers have done nothing to dull the pounding in my head, which I can only assume can be a migraine. I get these pretty regularly and they are horrendous, nothing seems to help.

So here I am, 10pm on a Saturday night, tucked up and ready to call it a night before work tomorrow. Tragic.

Currently reading:

'One Fifth Avenue' by Candace Bushell: Written by the author of Sex & The City (a book that I struggled getting into after continually making comparisons to the series). Described as 'a modern day story of old and new money, of sexual politics, real-estate theft and fortunes won and lost in a day'. Am only a chapter in but enjoying it so far!

'The Game' by Neil Strauss: One of my male colleagues enlightened me about The Game one lunchtime whilst taking a stroll in the park, Costa coffee in hand. The book depicts the journey of a man who has become the most successful pick-up artist in the world. It details how PUA's can completely manipulate social situations in order to pick up women. I bought the book to get an insight into the methods used by pickup artists, so interesting!

What are you reading?x

Don't tell me i'm dreaming

My future husband and his band of merry hotties has done it again. LOVE this song!

Today we were broadcasting an important show with some high profile guests, so I thought i'd wear one of my smarter ensembles to the office:



I picked this up from a little boutique near where i live. The relatively short length and the cute ruffle detail help to spice up what would have otherwise been a fairly plain office dress. I bought this in white and camel also, but i love the grey one the most. I teamed it with a belt from New Look that i purchased wayy back in the day, a black drop pocket cardi (also from New Look), black tights, and a pair of black ankle boots with faux fur around the tops (again, New Look)

I have become addicted to buying officewear! Any shops you would recommend for pretty office outfits?
