Sleepover Club

Girls Gone Wild (ish)

So what happens when you’ve got a hotel full of bloggers with new sleepwear and some pizza courtesy of Papa Johns? A photoshoot, obv. I’ve been so excited to share these photos since we took them – prior to our trip we were determined to do a sleepover shoot but were a little worried about the logistics, however London’s CitizenM turned out to be the perfect location thanks to the absolutely ENORMOUS beds – more than enough space for six gals and their pizzas. Unfortunately the pictures I took on my little point and shoot 35mm that you might notice in these photos are not featured here because I double-exposed the entire roll of film (oops), and whilst there were some great results to that accident, these did not work out. Boo! In spite of this I’m still super happy with all the photos we did take, curated and edited by the queen of ~internet grunge~ herself Kayla.

Street Style with Grafea

Dress – Bank* | Coat – BooHoo* | Bag – Grafea* | Shoes – Public Desire (similar)*

Last week I had the pleasure of shooting Grafea’s new ‘Wild At Heart’ rucksack with them on the streets of Manchester. It’s great to work with and support a Manchester company, particularly one which produces such great quality products. I can’t wait to use my new backpack for university! They are pricey, but absolutely worth it in my opinion – they’d definitely make a great Christmas present, or maybe a moving away present if you’re leaving home and have a generous family! I styled it with a really simple striped shift dress by Blonde & Blonde at Bank, white Public Desire sandals, and a pop of colour in this BooHoo coat which you might’ve seen in the photoshoot I blogged about here. Check out some other photos from my Grafea shoot and a little interview with me on the Grafea blog here.

BooHoo AW14 – Blogger #FASHPACK Photoshoot

Trend: ‘Locker Room’

my jumper / my shoes

Trend: ‘In The City’

my coat / my skort / my shoes

A few weeks ago I was invited to BooHoo’s Manchester HQ for a photoshoot with blogger babes Victoria/inthefrow and Charlotte/lurchhoundloves, We were asked to pick out one outfit each from BooHoo’s three main trends for AW14: ‘Brooklyn Princess‘; ‘In The City‘; and ‘Locker Room‘. We all had a blast, and I love how each of our styles is different yet because we were sticking within the trends our looks all compliment each other. And of course, the clothes! I’m struggling to decide which is my favourite trend – originally I was all about the Brooklyn Princess trend because I’m like a magpie with all the shine and sequins and of course the gorgeous baby pinks, but now I think I’m loving ‘In The City’ becuase just look at the two piece I’m wearing, and Charlotte’s trousers!

You can shop all the trends now via the links below, which is your fave?

Outfit Of The Day | Peach Co-ord

Co-ord – BooHoo (top/bottom) | Jacket – Topshop | Boots – Topshop

There’s nothing cooler than a co-ord at the moment, but rather than the super skimpy stringy crop vest and mini skirt pastel numbers that are popular I wanted something more wearable in the current temperatures, so I couldn’t resist this BooHoo peachy pink co-ord when I came across it. The crop sweater and skirt combo has a sports-luxe vibe to it, whilst the faux cable knit and shade of pink keep it cute. I wore mine simply with all black tights, boots and a leather jacket, but when the weather is warmer and I’m feeling braver I’ll definitely rock bare legs and some trainers!

**The Company blogger award nominations are open! I’ve decided that I’d like to give it a shot for the first time this year, and so I’d love it if you could nominate me as ‘Best Personal Style Blog in association with Missguided’ if you like reading my posts and seeing my outfits.

Introducing: Dirty Disco Vintage

Trousers – Dirty Disco | Top – BooHoo | Shoes – Choies*

Remember these amazing vintage daisy print Moschino trousers? You might have seen them before if you follow me on Instagram. I borrowed them during the warmer weather from fab new vintage store Dirty Disco; sadly they aren’t mine to keep but you can buy them for yourself on the Dirty Disco eBay store, ending tonight!

I didn’t want to over-style them because they’re such a statement piece, so I paired them with a simple off-white high neck crop top and black and white pointed shoes.

Get bidding on these amazing trousers now, and check out the rest of the Dirty Disco store and eBay store for a range of vintage treats.

Vogue Fashion’s Night Out – Manchester

Last night Vogue brought its famous Fashion’s Night Out to my city – how exciting! From Selfridges to Spinningfields to the Arndale, a variety of shops, brands and boutiques held special events into the evening, celebrating everything fashion.

I didn’t quite know what to expect from FNO as I had never ventured down to the one in London, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was super busy almost everywhere as was to be expected, but there were plenty of fab things to see and do which were worth braving the crowds for.

I started off at BooHoo‘s fashion bus, which they had stationed just off Market Street. BooHoo had their sparkling upcoming Boutique collection on show (which will be available for general purchase at the end of this month), as well as make-overs, cute pink BooHoo cars and a cool Instagram activity.

Coat – eBay | Top – Topshop | Trousers – ASOS | Shoes – Topshop

Next I popped over to Selfridges, which was absolutely heaving, but of course they had enough going on to warrant sticking around. There was a plethora of well known faces mingling with the crowds too, I spotted Henry Holland, Sophia Webster and Erdem Moralioğlu to name a few! Jameela Jamil was DJing on the top floor, so of course I had to sneak a photo!

I also bumped into some blogger babes, including the fab Lucy who I’m sure you all recognize!

Harvey Nichols was hot on Selfridges’ heels as usual, with masses of fun things to see and do. Pic n Mix, Pin The Pony on Karl, exciting talks from a variety of influential people in the world of fashion (I caught a bit of Sophia Webster’s interview, she’s so adorable!), and some more famous faces including Proudlock and Jamie from Made In Chelsea. Despite feeling sort of bad for them both being mobbed by fans whenever they surfaced from backstage, I couldn’t resist a selfie with Proudlock! :’)

I also ate a cute tiny hotdog…

The rest of my night was spent wandering around the city exploring what else was on offer, whilst handing out some fliers for my friend’s amazing new vintage store, Dirty Disco, which has just launched online. You might have seen Dirty Disco around on eBay for a while, but the transition to a webstore is definitely an exciting one. Check out www.dirtydiscovintage.com now, and keep peeking back for new additions!

Check out a few other photos from my night below, I hope all of you who came along enjoyed FNO too!

Pink Cheeks

Shirt – ASOS | Trousers – American Apparel | Necklace – Primark | Shoes – BooHoo

Today’s outfit! After seeing this fab new colour of American Apparel Riding Pant, ‘pink cheeks’, on the amazing Leanne, I had to have them. The colour appears more muted in photos (including those on the AA website) than it does in person – they are extremely bright so be warned!). I took advantage of a 30% discount code American Apparel sent out to their mailing list a week or so ago and purchased them, at £64 RRP they are quite pricey but I already own and love the Riding Pant in two other colours so I can certainly say they’re worth the splurge, particularly with the Disco Pant being a pretty extortionate £74 now (and every man and his dog doesn’t own a pair of Riding Pants!). Today I wore them with my favourite pointed toe-cap flats, super cute scalloped collar shirt from ASOS and this amazing necklace I picked up in Primark yesterday – a perfect summery statement piece. Sadly the summery weather we’d been having (for all of 3 days) has not lasted and so I was definitely dressed brighter than I felt today 🙁

Mono-floral

Dress – Ravi Famous* | Jacket – MissGuided | Shoes – BooHoo

I’m sure you’re all bored to death of my thing for monochrome at the moment, but here is yet another black and white look! I love this dress from Ravi Famous*, the fit & flare skater style is flattering on so many figure types and the flocked black and white floral print is a really pretty take on monochrome. I wore the dress outfit out to a meal for my grandma’s birthday this weekend with my sparkly but super sophisticated MissGuided jacket (which you can pick up on sale here) and pointed toe-cap flats from BooHoo which I’m obsessed with and definitely need in more colours!
Are you bored of monochrome yet?

Dupe of the Day | American Apparel Corduroy Circle Skirt

The Corduroy Circle Skirt | American Apparel v BooHoo

The Corduroy Circle Skirt is one of American Apparel’s most well known items, but BooHoo.com’s new ‘Cindy Cord Skater Skirt‘ is giving it a run for its money! The American Apparel skirt (pictured above left) comes in nine colours, ranging from size XS to L (roughly UK 6-14) and retails at £40 here in the UK, whereas BooHoo’s ‘Cindy’ (pictured above right and below) is a mere £18 (or £14.40 with their 20% student discount!). BooHoo’s skirt only comes in 4 colours, however with basic black and dupes of American Apparel’s most popular colours camel (tan) and truffle (wine) covered, as well as a bold pink, I don’t personally see this as a huge con. The only issue I personally have with BooHoo’s version is the range of sizes – they only go down to a UK 8 which they describe as a 26cm waist, which sadly with a skirt like this is an essential measurement to get right. Unfortunately for plus size ladies, both versions only go up to a UK 14, which also sucks. HOWEVER, I still think that the BooHoo dupe is a real bargain at £18 and if they had a wider range of sizes I would 100% be making a purchase! I’m still tempted to buy one anyway and belt it… oops!

Does anyone own the BooHoo Cindy skirt yet? Does it look as great in person? Let me know your thoughts 🙂

BooHoo Boutique Collection

BooHoo has never really stood out to me in the past and I viewed it only as a good place to buy cheap basics, but its new ‘Boutique’ collection is both impressive and still very affordable! The collection is full of heavy embellishment: sequined and studded trophy jackets, brocade fabrics, spiked shoes and gorgeous repeat patterns on both daytime and party wear. At a measly (in comparison to other high street and online competitors) £45, the trophy jackets from the collection are probably my favourite pieces as they are both striking and versatile – wear one during the day with a jersey pencil skirt or skinny jeans and ankle boots or with a dress for the evening. I also love the Lexie Dress and embellished tops.

Check out some of my other favourite pieces below and view/purchase (almost) the whole collection online now on the BooHoo website. Which are your favourite pieces? Will you be purchasing any of the collection?
