Scarlett and Jo Review

A few weeks the lovely Lucy from Scarlett and Jo contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in reviewing a item from the their range. As I missed out on the Style Session I was invited to, I jumped at the change too try something.

A few days later I received this little beaut.

In all honesty, it isn't something that I would pick myself. However, saying that, I love it.

I have styled it with black tights and some black heels, which is perfect for the cold night at the moment. I think the next time I wear it though, I will wear it as per the model, with the tie at the front. I chose a size 24, but would have definitely got away with my normal size 22.

I can't wait for the summer to arrive when I can wear this with out tights. I am now on the look out for some blue sandals to wear with it, so if you see any, let me know!!

The Scarlett and Jo range is available from here from Evans.

OOTD - Joe Browns

 A few weeks back I was lucky enough to get hold of some of the new items from Simply Be.

One of the dress I chose was from the Joe Browns range.

In the past I have been a bit 'meh' about the Joe Browns range. But over the last few seasons it seems to be improving. One of my issues was always the sizing. I generally had to size up by one or two sizes, the recently they seem a lot more true to size. The dress I am wearing is my normal size 22 and I reckon I could have actually been better in a size 20.

What I wore -

Jacket - New Look Inspire
Dress - Simply Be
Leggings - New Look Inspire
Sandals - Primark

The only think I would change on this dress is the lining. Not all of it mind. Just the frilly bit around the bottom. Apart from that I really love it and can see it becoming a staple item in my wardrobe, especially during the summer!

I have currently set up a Facebook Page for my blog and would love it if you would give me a 'like', thanks in advance!!

Fatshionologie - Work Meeting

Fatshionologie is a blogger style challenge born out of a discussion on twitter in the hope that it would help us create exciting new content for our blogs as well as show that each new style 'theme' can be rocked by a variety of different body shapes!

This months theme was dressing for a work meeting or interview. 

This one should have been a walk in the park for me as I work in an office and attend meeting almost weekly. However, that said, my office is fairly relaxed as we only deal with internal clients.

Whilst looking through my wardrobe one item instantly popped out.  My lovely Swan dress....

I think its perfect for the office/meeting/interviews as its smart but fun at the same time!

what I wore :-

Blazer - Next

Dress - Clement Riberio at Evans

Tights - Marks and Spencers

Shoes - George at Asda

Summer loving swap

A little while ago the lovely Kim suggests that we have a little blogger swap. I thought I was an amazing idea! Not only do we get a little gift from a 'mystery' elf, we also had to research our giftee and find out what they like!

We set a limit of £5 and began asking secret questions on elfster. We were asked to post our gifts on the 2nd so they could received by the 5th......

Here is what I received....

Barry M Gelly polish, MUA eyesp shadow and a lip stain.

Once everyone has received their gifts, Kim is going to do a npbig reveal!!!!

I hope my giftee liked her gift!!!

So Fabulous range with Littlewoods.com Bloggers Event!

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a So Fabulous range with Littlewoods.com bloggers event at their press office in Soho.

For those of you who are unaware of So Fabulous, they are the Plus range of Very and Littlewoods.

Upon arrival of the venue we were greeted by Elly and the So Fab team.

After a quick look around the current range and a sneak preview of the AW13 range, we were split in to two groups for a style challenge. Becky was our willing volunteer model and we had to dress her for a night out to the theatre.

Myself, Lauren and Kirsty decide on a feather print dress with mesh arms and neckline. To be honest, the dress didn't look like much on the hanger, but it looked amazing on Becky.

We also managed to find an amazing pair of shoes which match the dress perfectly....even if
Becky couldn't walk very far in them!

So Fabulous have some amazing items coming out shortly and I cant wait to get my hands on them!!

This is my favourite dress ever...I'm a bit addicted to Nashville and the whole country thing at the moment!

I love this dress but I would never wear it.

I also got to meet the amazing Lauren for the first time. I am a long time admirer of her blog and can't wait for Plus London in November

After the event a few of us went out for a meal. We found an amazing little Greek place which is delicious!

Thank you So Fabulous for a wonderful evening......maybe your next event could be in Liverpool???
