Bleary eyed, haven’t taken two sips of my coffee yet and I’m sitting down at my desk. Not many people are in yet. Marie Helvin, elegant and subtle, in white trousers and a crisp blue shirt walks in and declares ‘I have no idea where i am…’. I feel the same way sometimes, Marie. She’s being shot in Rankin studios as we speak.
Just one of the wee shocks that once again jolts me into realisation that I no longer work in digital media and am now working in a fashion environment. I fess’ up. The fashion outsider slant that I initially carved Style Bubble out of no longer applies. Standing on the periphery might be a better way of putting things. Whilst my working environment has changed to fashion, the ‘outsider’ aspect will probably always apply because rather than wanting to fully integrate, retaining a wide-eyed view might just help me get me through the days.
Oh, and a daily view of the covers is another nice realisation too…
oh my, that vintage puffball dress from a few posts back is to die for– and Pia’s designs are just beautiful! i remember seeing your profile on mystylediary awhile back… your blog is truly amazing! xx
susie, you have the BEST job, dazed is brilliant as is your blog !
apart from congratulating you on your jump to the periphery, my 22-year old self (which was A LONG TIME AGO) would like to have those framed covers of blur please.
oh, how i adored them and adore them still…
Exciting!
I am seriously so happy for you, and am so happy to see someone who truly appreciates what they’re doing in their day to day life, wonderful!
Oh! Fantastic. How long ago was this switchover, hm?
You must just want to pinch yourself everyday! Weldone!

I love hearing about your job!! And I’m so glad you’re in the fashion world full time now too . . . Dazed sounds like it will be perfect for you!
PS, I want to steal Marie Helvin’s entrance line . . .
You’ll always have The Bubble no matter where you work…though I can’t believe your office actually has the covers framed and up on the wall! And I’d love to steal that line from Marie, too…
Thanks for giving us a little hint about how the new job is, I’m sure I was not the only reader waiting for some little details.
Stay wide-eyed and bushy tailed… I’m so excited about your new job. Congrats!
I’m second everyone’s congrats. I can’t wait to hear more about the fashion job. I hope to one day make a transition from normal day job to fun and fabulous fashion job.
Keep us posted.
There’s something very appealing about a perspective that has been nurtured outside of the boundaries of any circle. i think it gives you a wider peripheral vision… you have the space to see, appreciate and understand the overlaps of different circles that occur. In my humble opinion i think this is probably what has made so many people fall in love with you and your blog. And what made you so desirable to Dazed… your vision must seem so fresh and lovely x
Meeshy – well put! x
how nice for nostalgia: blur dazed covers!
I’d love to have them in my room!
Nancy Kwan, not Marie Helvin
