Oh what a difference a year makes... Topshop was fun, hard-work but fun. There was always a manic air about the job, always a new task to be added to the list, never enough time to complete everything. I completely understand why some people thrive at Topshop and never leave but I also always knew that it wasn't for me forever.
Out of the blue in February I then got the chance to jump ship. Within 1 week, I went from feeling settled at Topshop, looking 6-8 months down the line for a realistic opportunity to progress internally to having handed in my 4-week notice after accepting an AM role at Hobbs.
And what a great change that is turning out to be! The working environment at Hobbs is calmer, details matter, perfectionism isn't regarded as a negative characteristic and I am very much liking being back in the arms of the same system that Ted Baker used (who would have thought it was possible to miss CIMS?!)
So casual trousers have been replaced by footwear & accessories - and with AW12 starting to hit down in stores, just look at some of the looovely things that will be part of my professional life in the upcoming months
