The New Me

It's been a while, yes. But there have been some pretty large-scale changes in my life in the past seven months. Here, let's list them:

  1. Quite unexpectedly finished my university degree in June. 
Didn't even realise, tried to re-enrol. A phone call to Student Administration resulted in a very succinct "yep, you're done," and I spent the next three days crying. That sounds incredibly pathetic, but it was such an utter shock. Don't worry, I've finally digested the information and haven't looked back.

2. Byline was finally put in print.
This was such an enormously proud moment for me. The wonderful Christine, editor of Box Magazine (quick, go buy it!) commissioned me for four stories after I interned with the incredible Box team. I was, and still am, totally rapt! Check me out in the current Summer 2012 and the upcoming Autumn 2013 issues.

3. Scored a fashion internship at Marie Claire, stuffed my suitcase and moved to Sydney!
Which is where I am typing this from right now. This city is beautiful, full of life and really my home away from home. So far, the first day of my Marie Claire fashion stint was a sensory overload of fluffy feathers, a luxe rainbow of fabrics and stilettos galore.

In all it's clichéd honesty, this feels like a turning point; the beginning of something. I am doing things I have never done before (see: living with strangers, imposing a budget.) So, I'm returning to the blog with a renewed interest.

Hopefully you'll enjoy reading along.

Oh, congratulations!

Finishing uni by suprise sounds like heaven, but I can understand how you would have gotten a little shock!

Your career sounds like it is making leaps and bounds, and you are on the verge of something great!

Well done :)

Thanks so much Cindy!

Feels like it's all happening at the moment.

Goodluck on your journey too ;)
