Queen of Shoes

This week has been rather exciting in the career department. I have been promoted to Supervisor of New Look Douglas and I can't wait for the new challenges that lie ahead! :-) Being part of the management team for the first time is nerve racking but I'm sure the nerves will settle once I have found my feet.

The team have also been given their own departments to manage, I have been given shoes, winner!! I thought I would share a few pics of my hard work this week re-merchandising the shoe department. Organising shoes definitely channels my OCD in a positive way!

New Look-A New Career

Since starting my job as a sales advisor at New Look last August, I discovered not only a job that I love but a career in fashion that I never thought was possible. In March last year I sadly had to leave behind an opportunity to have the dream career that I thought I wanted, a Secondary School Art & Design teacher. I have various health problems that have plagued my life since my teens and alas my body could not cope with my PGCE in Lancaster. I came back home to the Isle of Man to recover and when I was feeling stronger I thought about taking on a part time job. I applied for New Look and needless to say I have never looked back and feel I have finally found the career I am meant to have. 

My dream now is to become a visual merchandiser, perfect for me, combining my artistic knowledge from my Fine Art degree and my love for fashion. The pictures below are of one of our current store trends-Pagan Tapestry. The theme centres around denim, ditsy florals, cowboy boots and the festival season. I merchandised this theme and thought I would share my work on my blog. I hope you like it, fingers crossed a visual merchandising career will be just around the corner for me :-) if my health allows it!!
