Google+ Hangout with Glamour and Very.co.uk

If you didn't already know Glamour Magazine created an exclusive collection for Very.co.uk! The collection has a timeless appeal with a bit of Glamour's signature pink thrown in there in the form of a cute tutu (my favourite!) . It adds a bit of fun to the range and I literally can't wait to see what's to come next out of the collaboration. They've magically managed to include all the wardrobe staples and made it accessible and attractive to many different women. So if you haven't done so already, check out the collection - Jo Elvin herself gives a video for each item in the collection!

For the launch of the collection I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Google+ Hangout with Glamour, Very.vo.uk and some really influential fashion bloggers! YES I was star-stricken. Being in a virtual room with Frassy, StyleSuzi, Fashionista Barbie and the Fashion Team at Glamour including Jo Elvin, the editor was a dream. The bloggers got a chance to exclusively interview the Glamour team which included Jo Elvin, Charlotte Anne Fidler (creative and fashion director) and Emer Dewar (Editor and Large) and we chatted about the vision of the collection, the inspiration and we explored how this wonderful collaboration arose. 

Here's the YouTube vid of the Hangout!

I've also been sporting my new Glamour collection pieces a lot since they joined my wardrobe and will be doing a post about the different ways to wear the tutu!

Today I'm Wearing the Tutu!

Last Week I was Wearing the grey sweat shirt top

Holiday Haul

A big reason for being massively absent in August was that I spent a good chunk of three weeks holidaying in Florida. It was the best - all you can eat full fat, fully greasy, feeling full food; soft American accents; the sun; Disney; and of course, the shopping. I'd already made a shopping list and saved for items of brands which I knew would be cheaper in the States but that rapidly went out the window when I came face to face with thrift stores and flea markets - something I could have never anticipated.

Here's the fashion haul vid of some of my favourite things I picked up out there. I spent less than $200 overall in three weeks and came back with at least 7-10kg more! 

The day after visiting Disney - and feeling very Minnie Mouse inspired....

Minnie Mouse Headphone!

My gorgeous new double faced watched sitting pretty.

Fashion Haul!

I've made another video! They're not getting any easier but this one is shorter and marginally less painful. Hopefully you'll find it interesting....

Below: images of some of my recent purchases :)

Stage Fright

Today I did my first ever fashion haul. It was so scary talking to the camera and can't physically bring myself to watch it fully! Hopefully they'll get better when I get used to talking to myself out loud alone....
Hope you enjoy :)

Today I'm wearing Cheap Monday

I Love fashion and today I'm showing you a fashion-first for me: the jumpsuit. I've never felt 100% with my proportions and jumpsuits just seemed like a honking red flag - a no go zone at all measures. Then I found this one by Cheap Monday - its a strapless drapey type with huge pockets and I think its fabulous. I love this brand but find it's far to pricey compared to prices in its homeland of Sweden so I've resisted. Then floating in the racks of the sale shed at Urban Outfitters, I find this beauty feeding my hungry eyes and for just £10 I snapped it up. It's a size XL so some of the £70 I saved went to the dressmakers to take it in :)

Silver wrap Cardigan - Mango

Gold Necklace - Primark

Pair of gold Cuffs - ASOS

Fringe studded Bag - Mischa Barton

Pointed Wedge Shoes - Office

Here's the video...

Today I'm wearing: a Forever21 dress

This week I picked up a stunning green, pleated front mossy green dress from Forever21 for just under £30. Its so pretty and floaty - I'm happy I can get tons of wear out of it by grunging it up a leather jacket and accessrories; but also I can make it an evening thing by mixing up the hair and accessories again!

Here's the video:

For the grungy look: the necklace is from Topshop, £35 this season.

The white leather jacket was £35 from a Brick Lane pop-up vintage market.

The shoes were from eBay, like all my favourite shoes!

Today I'm wearing my new Studded Shorts...

I had so much fun customizing these shorts this morning, I've been wearing them all day. 

The shirt is from Urban Outfitters, and the itchiest jumper ever is from Primark.

Here's the video of my outfit, its my first time - they'll get better, promise....
