The Red Floral Playsuit
When you are on holiday i'm now convinced playsuits are an absolute essential. I lived in playsuits whilst I was recently away in france and I really loved this one I got from Desire Clothing! (for fashion-train readers they offer 10% off too!) yaaaaaay!
sadly when these photos were taken it wasn't as sunny as it should be! (france was a bit of a disapointment this year on the weather side of things)
At only £22 this playsuit is a really good buy too!
I think with this sort of playsuit it's not just for summer wear but can be worn in the evenings too like for someones birthday or out for a nice meal with friends :)
with some wedges this outfit would be perfect!
Do you like playsuits? Have you been wearing them all summer long?

Joe Browns A/W 2011
Just over a week ago I was lucky enough to be invited to a preview of the latest collections from online store Joe Browns.
The event had about 15 other bloggers too which were all absolutely lovely some I've never met before and some I've met at events before.
We were welcomed with mexican themed drinks and yummy samosas! (but sadly they were all gone before I could get a photo!)
They had covered the whole office in bunting!
We watched a presentation from Joe Browns himself, the womenswear buyer & the menswear buyer. I love how Joe Browns doesn't follow the same ethos as most brands and like to be unique and offer fashions for the people who want to stand out with what they decide to wear.
One of the rails of clothes we got to look at!
We were given time to look around all the rails of clothes and tried what we liked on. I tried on this massive chunky knit grandad cardigan. (I absolutely loved it and so did lots of the other bloggers!)
It was such a great evening and it was lovely to meet everybody who went too!

Since I receive so many emails about local fashion events, I'll start posting them here, especially for my L.A. area readers.

What I've tried on in Topshop
When it comes to shopping I'm one of those people who likes to take a photo and then try on the next outfit and then compare to which looks better, or to whatsapp (its a smartphone application which lets you send photos and text through a wifi/3g connection) a photo to my best friend (this is if she's not with me) to see what she thinks of my next potential buy. I'd realised about a week ago that there's a bit of a collection of photos from outfits i'd tried on in Topshop this past 6 months or so I thought i'd do a post to show you some of my potential buys and what i'd bought too for that matter!
I'm rubbish with trying to remember the prices but I do know that all these photos are from things i've tried on in Topshop. I loved the t-shirt on the left but it was too bright for me, and I bought the shorts in the right photo.
I wish i'd bought the jumper on the right now but I wasn't too sure about it at the time but i've got the shorts instead!
The outfit on the left is an outfit i've bought most recently for a local festival I went to at the end of july. Who can resist a pair of high waisted shorts and a crop top?! (yay to vouchers)
When I thought about giving the t-shirts another try and realising they weren't for me at all, they are a gorgeous design though! I bought this REBECCA print playsuit by inlovewithfashion @ Topshop to wear on my birthday as a treat and I couldn't just leave the playsuit in the shop... I mean it was made for people called Rebecca!

Lingerie at Ann Summers
I've never posted about Lingerie before but I think when you get older you want to find that perfect bra and that perfect set of matching bra & underwear and you take more care and attention with where you get your lingerie from. With a whopping 27% say that wearing a pair of underwear that’s unattractive or doesn’t fit well can ruin their day. (yes quoting statistics here of 18-34 women)
With 47% of women say they feel sexier and more confident wearing a nice or special pair of underwear. there's now more choice than ever or what type,shape,sizes lingerie to buy. Ann Summers Lingerie have a large selection and i'm sure there's something which will catch your eye.
Before now I knew there was about 6 different types of bras you could buy but looking at sites like Ann summers and figleaves it makes you realise how many types their REALLY are. I love the idea of having a matching bra and underwear and here are some of my favourite matching sets available on the Ann Summers site.
Statistics have shown women are spending more and more money on underwear to make them feel better about themselves and how they are feeling that day, what do you think? does this effect you?
You can take a look at more Sexy Lingerie at Ann Summers and let me know what you think about their collections! Have you been on the Ann Summers site? I think with the variety of e-tailers & high-street stores it's hard to stick to one shop!
What do you think? Are you a fan of the matching bras and knickers look?
Do you think spending that extra few pennies on a nice bra and knickers makes you feel better?
Would love to read all your comments on this topic!

Festival Fashion: Sarenza Metallic Hunter Wellies
I've become a little bit obsessed with wellies as these few months have passed and I absolutely love my blue metallic pair of hunter wellies they are from Sarenza.co.uk and are just perfect for the festivals!
Sarenza have the The widest range of shoe brands in the UK and you can check out the Sarenza.co.uk Blog too! You can also check out the rest of the Hunter collection available at Sarenza.
I've decided to go for an outfit which is perfect for any festival (maybe leeds?) which you maybe going to this week. I'm wearing a scalloped vest top and shorts from Topshop.
These wellies were such good value at £60, cheaper than your normal pair of Hunter Wellies! I think every girl should invest in a pair of hunter wellies as they really are worth it, especially for the festivals in the years to come (yay!)
I think this blue is a great colour if you want to stand out from the crowd but not be TOO noticeable.
My other outfit to wear with these blue metallic hunters is just simply adding a pair of leggings and changing the top to a different colour and i've chosen navy!
I love these tops from Topshop as they are perfect all year round with jeans, shorts, leggings, skirts so they are very versatile.
Is anyone going to Leeds or Reading this weekend, who went to V last weekend?

Diamonds are a girls best friend
I think every girl dreams about their wedding day. Never knowing when it's going to happen just knowing it's going to happen someday. It does cross my mind what kind of ring i'll be wearing once I get married myself and when I was contacted by thediamondstore I couldn't help but look and pick out some of my favourite Diamond Rings!
These are just a few gorgeous rings i've picked out! Which ones your fave? what does your engagement ring look like?

The Colour Block Maxi Dress
When you're going on holiday you always think you've not got enough holiday clothes. I find myself thinking what on earth do I wear? Well for the past year the maxi dress has been the ultimate holiday saviour (yay!) it's the dream item of clothing (well for on holiday anyway) you can be wearing no make-up and have your curly beach hair and still look amazing! the maxi dress just completely transforms your outfit! I've started to have a collection of maxi's now. The ones I bought last year still look as great this year too so I'd invest in a couple of these bad boys maybe 2 or 3? or you could just go all out and get like 6 like me...
My most recent maxi dress purchase was a last minute one from Desire Clothing for about £14 I think it was with the 10% discount code available to all fashion-train readers when you type in 'fashiontrain' at the checkout. I don't think you can get more of a bargain for such a gorgeous dress!
Yes this dress really was £14! It's very on trend right now, who can resist a colour block maxi dress? It's elasticated at the top so it's a great fit around the bust area and it'd be very flattering on curvy body shapes too. For a night out wear with a denim jacket and wedges (depending on your height) and for a daytime look just team it with some sandals if it's sunny!
I don't think i'd genuinely wear something like this but I wore this all the time, especially to the beach with some sandals whilst I was away!
I teamed my outfit with some white sandals. I don't think i'd have ever worn white sandals either, but they look amazing. So elegant and smart and they look ten times better than a tan brown pair (yay!)
These sandals cost me just less than £10! They were in the sale how could I not buy them?!
Can you really go wrong with an glamorous outfit like this, perfect for your holidays for under £25? Yes that means more spending money! (wahoooooo)
Bikinis by Very.co.uk
I'm back! Yay! back to blogging, back to normal back from my holidays. I think when you go away you become more and more obsessed with how you look on the beach. If you're like me you have a few bikinis and you alternate depending on your mood. Now the more I know about fashion the more I see that there's a bikini for your body shape not just one you like the pattern of. I hope I don't become too conscious about what I wear on the beach and I hope to find bikinis which I feel comfortable in.
I really love the amount of swimsuits available at very.co.uk and I'm falling in love with all of the styles and patterns... here are some of my favourites.
*all bikinis are available at very.co.uk*
Which ones your favourite? My favourite is the first bikini love love love the pattern! for my holidays next year I can see myself going on a hunt for the perfect bikini!

My New Hair by Regis Salons
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to get my hair cut by my local regis salon! I absolutely love my new hair.
(this is my old hair curled it was very long!)
If you remember my hair is very long and I've never really dyed it so I fancied a change & this is my new hair!
They curled it at the salon too which was fab, I have purple highlights underneath and they took about three inches off!
I love my new hair and i've had so so many compliments for it. The purple has faded a bit now but it's still quite bright and the new layers in my hair are great too. It look fab curly now so i'm going au natural more often!
I just thought i'd write about my new hair and my trip to my local Regis Salon because I had such a great service and picked up loads of tips to keep my hair glossy and shiny! (yay)

Hello Pixie Knitwear
I suppose you think I'm mad right now, posting about a cardigan! But I suppose at this time of year, in England it's either really hot or really cold. But anyhow, I thought I'd show you all my latest purchase from Pixie Knitwear!
It's a gorgeous cardigan and I love love love the bows on the front!
I kind of have a love/hate relationship with cardigans, like i didn't expect this cardigan to be as big and chunky as it is! It works well as a blanket and let's put it this way, this winter I will NEVER be cold!
I love the big arms on this cardigan but I think I would love this cardigan even more if It was a bit shorter in length. I love how unique this cardigan looks and how eye catching it is though!

Oasis Vintage Collection: Biscuiteers
A few weeks ago, I was sent the coolest press release ever! I seriously think more companies should come up with ideas like this... Pippa from Clashingtime was an intern at OASIS HQ, we've been following each others blogs since we both decided to make one!
It was lovely to receive an email from her asking for my address to a few days later to receive a delivery and I really had no idea what it was!
Instead of being sent an email with a press release of the new vintage collection, I received it in the form of biscuits! These were genuinely the nicest biscuits ever...
Need I say anymore? I had to photograph them quickly I really wanted to eat them! They were so so so so so so so good!
Which is your favourite dress from the collection?

Holiday Snaps
Recently I went on a holiday for a few days in Wales with some friends! It was so much fun and it was great to just explore wales and go to the beach whenever we wanted. I thought I don't do many 'personal' posts so maybe it's time to feature one!
As soon as we got to wales we were on the beach, it was lovely and sunny!
We decided to walk across a bunch of cliff edges? I don't know what else to call them... can you spot me and Lydia? we look like small dots...
Later on that night we then went back in the sea at about 8/9pm and had a BBQ on the beach too. It was something i'd never do normally and to be on a beach at 8pm watching the sun go down whilst your in the sea is beautiful! Also the beach is so peaceful too as nobody is on it at that time!
I like the sea more at night I think. The last photo of me and Lydia looks like a postcard! I had a fab time in Wales and there are lots more photos, but these are just my favourites!
Have you been on holiday lately? Are you on holiday?
