Hi Guys! I’m so excited to share today’s outfit post with you all, I think this is a recent favourite! I’ve mentioned before here on Life of a Lady Bear that my pale Irish skin is something that I’ve come to accept as part of my “Snow White” aesthetic. It’s only when Summertime comes around and shorts season begins that I tend to really become a little self conscious of my “Milk Bottles” aka my super white legs! It’s no secret that I love to wear dark colours (black more specifically, actually funny story! My boss at work told me the other day that I need to start wearing a little more colour because Anna really dislikes black! So be warned there’s going to be an injection of colour in my wardrobe over the coming weeks!) Anyways, I usually wear dark colours because I always fear that I’ll look a little washed out if I wear whites or pastels which is why I was a little worried about how the pictures from this shoot would turn out but thankfully this beautiful H&M Playsuit somehow manages to not make me look ghostly!
Hi Guys! Apologies for the radio silence here on the blog over the past few days! Since starting my new job last week, it’s been a crazy time trying to adjust to a new schedule and find my feet with a new routine! I’m definitely someone who thrives on routine and when it changes I always need some time to adapt and find my feet again! I once read (in this article) that starting a new job is one of the most stressful “happy experiences” you’ll ever have to endure and I must say I kind of agree! This past week has quite literally been a rollercoaster of emotions from excitement to fear to exhaustion topped off with some of the most wonderful moments that will stick with me forever!
Hi Everyone! I’m back in the New York Groove after spending a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend in Cape Cod! I’m very lucky in that I have family living up there so it’s such a nice treat to go visit them and escape New York for a few days. Summer weather has most definitely arrived so we spent Saturday at the beach which was especially relaxing. I tried my best to take a little vacation from the internet and from being on my phone so much because I have quite the big week ahead of me!
Today is an extra special Tuesday as I’m starting a new job at TEEN VOGUE this morning! I’m so beyond excited and thrilled to be working for a brand that I’ve genuinely admired since I was in secondary school! The position is similar to what I did at MTV, working on their social team and focusing solely on the visual platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook Live which I’m delighted about! I’m especially looking forward to working for Teen Vogue and getting more involved in the fashion industry as it’s something that I’ve always been passionate about! Honestly I found out the great news about two weeks ago and it still hasn’t set in, never in my life when I was studying for my final exams last year in Galway did I think I would be working at Teen Vogue (I mean does this make me cool like Lauren Conrad in The Hills lol!)
And the wonderful thing about it is that this little blog of mine as been such a huge help in getting me where I am today. In my interview with Amy Astley (TV’s Editor in Chief) she mentioned that she loved my blog and my instagram which meant the absolute world to me! I mentioned it in a previous post, that my entire intention when starting Life of a Lady Bear was to use it as a platform to teach myself about digital marketing and social media in hopes that it would help me transition from a career in Biomedical Science to Business and thankfully it’s done just that! New York has taught me many things but most importantly it’s taught me that your dreams are never too big and anything is possible!
It’s certainly going to be a big week with lots of changes and meeting new people which is of course nerve-wrecking but super exciting at the same time! Here’s to another exciting chapter! (If you’re quick and check out my snapchat (Michaelabear1) before tonight you’ll hear all about how I got the job!)
TGIF Everyone! I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for a quite some time! It’s a long weekend here so Cathal and I are planning a trip up to Cape Cod for a few days before starting my new job next week (more on this soon!). As much as I love city life, NYC gives me a whole other appreciation for weekend getaways and the fact that the weather is so warm lately makes me beyond excited for a little beach time! Make sure to follow along my fun weekend on snapchat (Michaelabear1). Here’s some fun things I’ve come across on the internet lately for your weekend reading pleasure!
