After a dismal weekend of a sluggish hangover from drinking a $5 bottle of rosé with my gorgeous friends and the drone of work, work work, I awoke Monday morning to something very exciting indeed.
Everyone who knows me seem to roll their eyes in jest at the frequent manner with which I check my Blackberry. It's routine, it's religious and when I wake up, it's the first thing I do as part of my post-coffee-don't-even-dare-try-and-talk-to-me-yet ritual that is woven into my being.
Well, you can imagine the squeal and the scarlet blush that flitted across my cheeks when I awoke Monday morning to find a tweet from a lovely lady at Peppermint Magazine in Brisbane...
@silkandmoney hi jessie, we found an old email from you at Peppy today. (Yeah we're working weekends). Like your style - email me! x tess
I gave the creative folk at Peppermint an email right away and I got a reply saying that the love my writing style and are potentially, possibily, hopefully, Oh-God-pretty-please-with-a-cherry-on-top looking to hire me as an intern!
Imagine that! I feel as though I am jinxing it by writing this post, but even the prospect is just amazing in itself. I am so sure that this is what I want to do with my future - and that's such a wonderful feeling! I hope they hire me, I will forever revel in euphoric bliss that my dreams are coming true so early in my career as a journalist.
If you haven't read Peppermint Magazine, you must. They're an eco-friendly fashion magazine based in Brisbane and if there's anything I love more than creative folk livening up this ghost town of a city, it's recycled fashion.
After my encounter with the lovely lass at Peppermint, I had a knock at the door and a jolly old postman stood with my box of Topshop goodies in hand. After two weeks of nail-biting anticipation, the beautiful, black leather heels I had been coveting were finally in my hot little hands nestled under a bed of tissue paper. I tried them on and they are a perfect fit. Cinderella, you shall go to the ball!
Here they are, sittin' pretty:
I can't wait to head out on Thursday night to don them with my faux-fur vintage jacket, that I have come to love so dearly during these chilly winter months...
Fingers crossed that all goes well with Peppermint, in the mean time I shall keep my nose buried in textbooks as I study for finals in a few weeks. Wish me luck!
