The Blue Suit Theory

Sooo I have said it before but yet I still fail the task of updating more frequently.


I have a friend who is an amazing writer and  is quite successful at it- it got me thinking about sticking with it.

The Blue Suit Theory originates from my idea that - for the men of this world to show without the arrogant boasting that they have hit a point in their life where they feel they have "made it", but like any career/life ladder- we want oh so much more and will continue to up their goal (and the blue suit gets lighter).


You will mostly find them on the bodies of men who are of a certain age – but that is only because men of a certain age have the money to buy a blue suit.


I have built up this theory that a blue suit signifies “you have made it”


So whilst working in London I would start my quest for a man in a blue suit – which adds one more category to the already endless list of criteria. FYI – A “catch” in a blue suit – very few under the age of 30!


This piece of information led me to the conclusion owning a blue suit is defined by your age because is it later in life that you really make your money, unless you are an extremely lucky soul. A well tailored blue suit is a hard thing to come by on a budget – (also the lighter the blue the richer you are - in the process of being proven.)

Faith is restored in the blue suit defining a superficial element of SEXY!

Dresses Galore

Sooooo events of the week, I buy a dress..... Well I have brought a few dresses! But first off I’d like to make a very sarcastic thank you to DP for failing to inform your customers that nice Mad Men style dresses come with embarrassing Marilyn Monroe moments... countless actually!

The culprit:

For future reference – can only be work successfully in Space!

To understand the significance of this next buy, you will have to be privy to a little bit of present history. Having been measured a couple of years ago for probably the third time in my entire life, (one of those being the counting of 10 fingers and toes).... I always took an estimate of how tall I was – whenever I was asked, I’d reply “oh... about  5”2.”

Little did I know a helping hand on a nurses dissertation would follow a re-evaluated growth spurt of 3 inches.....

And while in some places 5”5 is still classed within the short category, I was pleased when trying this next dress on to find I – yes a short person was just that tad bit too tall. But after walking away – no sooner was I to return with the decision “well I just won’t wear heels with it” (Holiday buy no.2 Whoooo)

This one I may make a return journey for....

And well this.... if you have read the previous posts will know I am soon to e an aunty and baby fever is starting to take over a little bit. We are yet to find out the sex, but if statistics were the prime factor it is going to be a girl! But until we are sure uni-sex clothing buys only... humphhh

Quick update...

I have struggled to be bothered to continue with this... but it is always nice to share with anyone who will listen!

So a quick update – it’s now May a one month internship has turned into 9 months – but I am still happy and grateful to be here.

I found out in March that I am going to be an Aunty! It is one of those moments that you thank your lucky stars that it did not happen to you – but then if it was to happen to me over the past (insert ridiculous time frame here) then like the virgin Mary it would be by “the immaculate conception”.

The whole family; despite our initial shock and worry how this will all play out, are all extremely happy for my little brother and his girlfriend. We viewed a (what I thought) was a very funny looking baby scan, (it hit me- this was going to happen – commence cool aunty training!)

I am still continuing the fantasy relationship with golden beard (formerly aussiehottastic) where in my imaginary world he does not have (which I’m sure she is) a fabulous girlfriend, nor has he seen me at my absolute worst and laughed at me.

And the worst of all – one of my best friends has just got engaged to a girl who has decided she hates me, and is dangling a personal vendetta against me.

The potential love of my life!

Fast forwarding a little to the present day...

New Years brought about some action, but not the kind I am looking for...

Covering reception is part of the daily duties of an intern, so when this handsome looking Aussie walks into the building, I am slightly mesmerised, but the moment passes, as the realisation sets in, (I am probably not going to see this hottie again, am I?)

Sitting down he starts to fumble with his shirt, soon I noticed it was not nervous fidgeting, but nervously trying to attach his cuff links  I sit contemplating whether I offer to help, going over the notion of it sounding a little patronising. I contemplated too long, and soon he regressed back into a calm position. The moment had passed.

On return to my department, I inquisitively asked *****, does the name **** **** ring any bells, ( this was more of a tactical move on my part, making sure he was not a prominently well known person within the business, that openly admitting my initial thoughts about this guy would turn round to bite me on the bum.)

Phew she did not know who he was – so a discussion soon arose, about this mysterious guy and who he was, and how I think he is beautiful, in all sense of the word...only a masculine beauty.

Two days later, in walks ******* with Mr. Aussiehottastic – great he is a new employee!!

Where I intend it to start...

I am now at a stage of a person’s life, where the education system has either succeeded or failed me. A cross roads where a decision of what to do for the rest of your life haunts every move you make. I know I am destined for success, I just need to figure out how to get it.

You attend countless interviews, turned down by some, failed by recruitment agencies who forget to tell you that a job offer has been made; and after no response the role is handed over to the next candidate. After a while, you start to consider what life would be like working in retail day in day out, till you hit retirement. I swore to myself this would not be the case – so starting a new era – I went back to the gym, started a voluntary placement at the local radio station, and spent my days searching for the right job.

Then it came – 6 months after leaving university I applied for an internship with a high profile businessman. I walked into the interview confident, passionate, and dedicated, “I was going to get this placement”. After showing them some of my work, I was asked to submit a piece of writing; giving them a feel for my written style. (This was a Thursday) (Email) “Can you start Monday?”

First thoughts of a good impression when working in London do not start with the answer “well could I possible start Tuesday, as there is a tube strike Monday?”

After receiving no answer – I quickly identified the best route to arrive on time, or nearest to. Worried that on my first day I would be turning up late was not something I wanted to do. Luckily, it was all fine and I would be starting a month’s agreed internship in a Mayfair business.

Past to Present...

Rewinding to a former time – it is funny how a person can change so much in a few years. But I have always stayed true to my morals; I have never rebelled out of control, nor have I given in to peer pressure. I am a strong minded person, who can get over looked, but in the right moments when they present themselves I live up to the expectations people hold of me.


My earliest memory is walking out of church, grabbing a man’s hand who I thought my was dad, and hearing a strange voice say “I do not think I am your daddy”


Wish I lived more by the saying “Vivre a l’amour et l’amour de vie”


I have in my lifetime caused many moments that demand a raised eyebrow, but only have they been at times of laughter.


I am not one who partakes in confrontation – I bottle up the serious thoughts, so to not offend others. However, if I am confronted; god help that person.


I have labelled myself as a bit of a hypochondriac; I can over think comments or questions and create the worst possible scenario over a miniscule piece of information, or lack thereof.


I relish the event, (when and if it happens) that most relates to a fairytale.


I genuinely believe that the best things in life are free.


I do set aside time for myself but I am my most happiest with friends and family.


When sleeping alone, I have to have the covers over my ear.


As much as my exterior would deceive you, I have many insecurities. But I love when a moment of euphoria sets in, with no real catalyst.
