Brightside Entry | Time of Your Life

So I have been MIA from this blog for about three days, which is forever for me. I've totally been slacking off on all of the things which this blog is supposed to provide--fashion, bits from everyday life and certain bouts of introspection. However, while there is no good excuse for slacking off, I have not been completely unproductive, and I'd like to share these things with you all:

1.) Job Opportunities

Ever since I was little, I've always known that I wanted to write. While I am more passionate about literature, I do realize the need to make a living and I recognize that fact (with the exception of J.K. Rowling hahaha) is usually more profitable than fiction--and I need to stay alive to be able to write, so yeah. I've been applying for jobs via JobStreet, which I think is one of the most efficient ways to go about the employment process. I've been receiving a lot of job opportunities so far and have interviews lined up for next week, which I'm simultaneously anxious about and looking forward to. :) I won't mention any names due to confidentiality and so as not to jinx anything, but I'm definitely hoping for this one job that I really want. :D Wish me luck!

2.) Being A One-Woman Machine

One of the challenges of owning your own store and blogging alone and all that jazz is that for all the glory that comes with being an "independent" woman, it is downright difficult to do everything yourself. I spent yesterday gathering garments, finding a place to shoot them in natural lighting, photographing them and then hauling them back to my room. I then went on to spend the rest of the evening uploading the photos and listing prices as well as working on the poster for the collection. :)) I'm not complaining--in the end, it was all worth it, because I got the collection up as promised but I'm definitely considering hiring an assistant who wouldn't mind doing things for me like handling prices, listing orders and helping me shoot photos for the collections (if I can afford it, that is). :) Anyway, here are a couple of things that are available over at the store. Definitely check that out! I've also got another giveaway with Price Tag coming up tomorrow. :D

 This frog jacket is adorable and is a great way to stay festive and fresh during the rainy season; it's definitely one of the jems of this collection--it also helps that the fabric is feather-soft.

 Glamour, glamour, glamour. I posted a photo of myself wearing this beautiful jacket and I'm very, very surprised that this is still available. :) This jacket was bought in the States and the lining and the quality of the finish are impeccable. This could style a million old Hollywood looks just right. If it wasn't considered stealing (kind of) I'd buy this myself.

 So many shorts for this collection! We've got something for everyone--whether you're classy, country club-pinstripes type gal or a more casual, denim and sneakers type doll, I guarantee you'll find something here. The adorable Mickey-print detail on the pair of shorts below definitely lend a feminine, nostalgic take to any look styled with these denims.

Houndstooth--one of the classiest, most versatile patterns ever created. This skirt is perfect for any woman who's got curves--it tightens and gives way in all the right areas and would look wonderful under a blazer and worn to work as well as dressed up with a tight black top, red lipstick and strappies on a date out. ;)

3.) Study, Study, Study!

Organic Chemistry long test coming up this Monday. Wish me luck! *GULP*

And that's it for now! :) More tomorrow, definitely!
