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!

H&M Fall 2011 Trend Guide

I realize it's been a while since I've updated this blog, but you can expect to see more posts here in the near future. Since I receive so many emails about local fashion events, I'll start posting them here, especially for my L.A. area readers. I'll also be posting information about Fashion's Night Out events in Los Angeles as the event info trickles into my inbox. Something to look forward to!

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?

What do you think of Metallic wellies?

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!
