The LDNBloggersParty and What I Wore!!

I was lucky enough to grab one of the last places at the London Bloggers Party (it was guest list only) so if your name wasn't down you wasn't getting in.  I was really looking forward to meeting as many bloggers as I could, especially the ones that I have been talking to for months on twitter!!!

It was held on Saturday the 29th June at Dirty Martini in Hanover Square, London at 1.30pm. I will apologise now for my lack of photos but I was having such a great time saying hello and chatting that I didn't take my phone out hardly at all.

There were so many bloggers there I didn't know where to begin.  Gradually I began to recognise some faces in the crowd! I bumped in to Kat from Talesofapaleface with her fab new hairdo and I recognised Sophia from TattoedteaLady who was lovely.

It was just an all round fab party. I want to say a huge thanks to Scarlett London for organising such a great meet up. And hello to all the other fantastic bloggers I met including:

Sophia Meola

Ellie Adams 

Anna Rozanska

Joelle

Laura

Emma

Sophia Ford

Nuala Maria

Scarlett

Becky

Ellie Steadman

I am really excited to dive in to the goody bag because it looks so jam packed! But, I am going to do a video of this over the next few days so keep yer eyes peeled!!!

I'm Going to a Wedding | Get ready with me!!!

Hi all, so this weekend I went to my cousins fantabulous wedding! 

It was so lovely to see all my cousins and I have A LOT! We are pretty lucky and tend to have a reunion about every 5 years which I always look forward to.

This year things haven't been too great for me so far (minus the blog and new friends) it has been a little tricky shall we say. A few months a go I was actually sure I wasn't going to go to the wedding I thought it would all be a bit much for me with all the people and the travelling (it was in Newcastle). 

But as the time got closer I knew if I didn't go I would feel so crap about myself and I really didn't want to be the one who misses out on a family occasion yet again (I feel like I have missed so many already in my life). So I made the decision to pack my wee case get Poppi ready and off we went on the long drive to Newc. 

I have to say the first few hours for me were NOT pleasant if I could have jumped out the car and run away I definitely would have but I stuck it through and managed to relax. 

In the end I had the best time. I am so so so so so so proud of myself for going. It really has raised my confidence so much. 

With all the excitement I managed to take a whole host of pictures thinking I would do one blog about it all. But as it happens there is just too many pics for one post!! Soooo I have decided I will do a 'getting ready with me' type post and then one on the venue and the actual wedding (a wedding review if you will... ha ha not really I wouldn't do that to my cousin and his beautiful bride).

So without further a do I will shut my gob and get posting piccies for you....

First thing was first.  It was time to make use of the wonderfully gorgeous bath in my room. The room treats were all Molton Brown, which is fab. So I used the lovely bath foam which smelt relaxing and helped to chill me out before the pandemonium of getting ready began!

I decided to half do my hair then started doing my make up because as usual I was running out of time. I was also assisting my mum with beautifying herself, while giving her a little eyeshadow tutorial along the way. I love doing my mum's make up :-)

So I had decided to do my hair in a classic 'Hollywood icon' look with 60's curls and a flower on one side. I made sure I took plenty of product with me. I find Styling mousse and hairspray together hold my hair very well in place. The curls ended up lasting for 2 days.

Makeup, I had my heart set on bright red lips so it was more of a muted eye with a semi winger eyeliner look. I am not great at using black liquid eyeliner to create this looks so I played it quite safe using a dark eyeshadow with a thin angled brush to create the same type of look. Of course I needed some powder to keep it all in place as weddings are quite a long day. So I chose my trusty Mac Studio Fix which I find amazing. I reapplied it once half way through the day as I was getting a little shiny after dinner.

On to the dress...

I actually had my heart set on a Lipsy Millie Macintosh dress which I managed to buy on ebay but when I tried it on I realised it was just too small for me.. boo hoo! So off I popped to town in a rush with the idea set in my head that I wanted a girly/prom type dress. Then I spotted this one and fell in love. I thought it was so classic and simple. The lace at the top is just lovely. And the best part? It was only £20 in the Topshop sale... seriously I couldn't believe my luck. Amazing!

With this style and length of dress I knew I needed a black court shoe and found these lovely ones for £19 in New Look. Not the most comfortable but I managed to keep them on all day and night!

So almost ready, on to the finishing touches...

 

My favourite perfume at the moment, Miller Harris Coeur de Fleur, which I reviewed here, a dollop of Laura Mercier body creme in Fig, and my jewellery. This ring I bought in the Primark sale for £1 and I love it's big bold design. The pearl earrings I borrowed from my mum as I felt pearls would finish off the 'Hollywood starlet' look perfectly.

So finally ready. I think it took me about an hour 20 minutes, not at all bad...

OUTFIT POST Totally in Love with Fringing

OK lovelies, this is my very first 'proper' outfit of the day. I know I have done a few before but the pictures I used weren't actually intended to be for a blog post. But this one I was brave enough to have pictures taken of myself especially. For the past little while I haven't really wanted to take pics of myself. So I hope you all like it.

The Jacket

TK Maxx £30

This is a lovery faux leather, or pleather, jacket that I got quite recently. I love the fringing on it which you can't see too much of in the pictures but it is really great. I think the staple of a wardrobe should be a black leather jacket, it really goes with anything.

The Jumper

£200 American Retro

I got this jumper just before Xmas as it is so cosy. The fringing drew me to it as I think it is a bit different. I am not sure if you can see but there is a navaho type pattern woven in to the front. The fringing also goes down the side of the jumper from under the arm, it is so preeetty!

The Jeans

£210 Current Elliott

These beauts I have blogged about before here. I love them like lollipops. They are super comfy and stretchy and are also really long. I think the colour will be wearable right through spring and summer with a white tee.. Yip!

The Shoes

£20 Primark

I love a good trainer wedge. I have a few pairs from the wonderland that is Primark. These beauts are faux suede but I think they look pretty snazzy. The best thing about them is they are super duper comfy, hooraay for Primani!

The Bag

£850 Louis Vuitton

Ahhh my faithful Denim Louie Neo. No doubt you will see a lot of this bag as I wear it all the time. I already featured it here in a previous outfit post. I love it because you can literally wear it anywhere with anything. I have had it for quite a few years now and it still looks like new.

Well that is it gorgeous people of the interweb. 

What did you think of my OUTFIT POST?

Lots of love and snuggles.

OUTFIT POST - Bright Juicy Colours To Make You Smile

I love how different colours can effect your mood. In spring/summer the sun isn't the only thing that can brighten your day.

So here is my 2nd outfit post :-) Featuring some more spring ready colours.

Juicy Couture orange bomber jacket £170

The jacket is super cute and really comfy. It also keeps you warm which is good as the temperature is still pretty low.

Juicy Couture racer back tank £60

I like oversized t-shirts. I think they look great with skinny jeans and most of all your don't have to worry what the state of your stomach is. This particular Juicy one is a racer back, so looks really cool with a bright bra or even a boob tube underneath.

Zara ripped Jeans £25

These jeans I am totally in love with unfortunately they rip really easily and now have a huge hole in the knee where I put my foot through while getting them on, so I'm trying to figure out what to do with them.

Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Neo Cabby

My trusty Louis. This is one of my main bags, as it goes with almost anything. It is really comfortable to wear with its shoulder strap and handles. Because of its subtle print and colour it doesn't scream 'Louis Vuitton' like a lot of others bags do.

Topshop iPhone Purse £15

This is a great little purse. Keeps you iPhone well protected from getting damaged by anything else laying around in your bag. It also has space for a few bank cards and some money. I think on reflection £15 is a lot to pay as it isn't real leather and other shops do them cheaper.

Matalan Ankle boots £19

I adore these ankle boots and have worn them to death. Nobody believed me when I told them they were from Matalan and I wish I had bought 2 pairs as they get damaged quite easily. They look great with a dress too.

What you think??

OUTFIT POST : Herve Leger & Muubaa Love

This is my first outfit post!!! Almost blogging for a year and it has taken me this long, can you believe it?

So here it is :-)

Here I am wear a Fringed Herve Leger bodycon dress with a Muubaa jacket over the top. I love my Muubaa jackets and wear them all the time, they are so versatile and I am very comfortable in them.

So what do you think?

Lots of Love..
