So I've definately decided to study the marketing, buying and merchandising option for next year and I informed my tutors of this decision at my tutorial. I feel that this potion will broaden my knowledge base within this field and help with future job opportunities. I still love design but am happy to continue this in my own spare time and not at Uni.


I have very nearly got a summer placement at Juicy Couture! I am just waiting on one of the other head people from the brand. Fingers crossed!!!!


If I get this placement I will be over the moon as Juicy is a company which I aspire to work for one day! I have worked alongside products from the brand for a long time so I feel I have a lot of much needed experience to offer if I get this placement!

For the past few weeks I have been working full time at the shop (Richmond Classics) mainly at the Ladies shop, which I prefer! I much prefer working with ladies brands and I love seeing all the new items that come in to stock. We've now become a stockist for Arrogant Cat, which is great as their dresses are amazing but they are yet to actually sell. Maybe Bournemouth people are slow at picking up London trends. The dresses aren't cheap though so we'll see if they sell.

What is really selling within the shop is the Disney Couture Jewellery, everybody loves this stuff and I understand why! The collection is full of adorable necklaces with slogans such as 'believe' with tinkerbell attached, tinkerbell earrings, bambi bracelets.... etc just cute girlie stuff (every girl loves Disney).

The Dark Muse t-shirts are also a hot seller, these consist of controversial balck and white images of celebrities on a plain tee. The most popular of these is a t-shirt with Kate Moss sticking up her middle finger!!! This flew of the shelf! The public can be weird haha!
