Goodbye to Gilda

Still from the Rita Hayworth film 'Gilda' that the brand takes its name from

Since I've been writing this blog I've brought up my work a fair few times. Since October last year I have been working in the Covent Garden boutique of a wonderful jewellery brand called Gilda's Tryst who make pearl and gemstone jewellery that takes inspiration from classic vintage styles and adds a modern twist. Due to various reasons I have decided to move on to pastures new. Taking some time out to recharge before looking for work again - if any one wants to offer me a job please don't hesitate to contact me!

Instagramming myself at work - I've acquired so much black clothing because of this job!

But in all seriousness, I'm really sad to be leaving. Not only because of the loss of staff discount but because of how much I've enjoyed working in the shop. Although I've mainly worked alone in the shop I've still been fortunate enough to meet some of the other girls who work in the shops who are all lovely, as well as the owners; Shireen and Amanda who are just about the nicest bosses I can imagine having. The boutique was always a relaxed place to work as the customers were always really pleasant and it was great to be selling something I liked so much. As a final goodbye I've picked out some of my favourite pieces that I'm debating getting before I go.

LFWend

So fashion month is drawing to a close and if, like me, you have been trying to keep up with the show coverage you're probably feeling some serious fashion fatigue by now.

The weather all weekend was amazing - certainly not what you expect of February

This weekend I was working at London Fashion Weekend at Somerset House for the Jewellery brand I work for 'Gilda's Tryst' who had a stall there. I found the show to be a bit disappointing compared to the last time I went - far less designer stalls. However lots of people had made the effort and turned out in style, major trends showing up were pastels, longer skirt lengths, sheer, clashing prints, towering platform heels and multi-textural black (always a favourite!). Below are a few snaps from the weekend and looks that I loved.
