Lifestyle | #BLFW Day 2

9 September 2014
Here is the second part to Bloggers Love Fashion week. I decided to go on day 2 as I wouldn't have been able to leave work on time both days and so I opted for this one. I did take more photos but the lighting was really bad when it got darker so they didn't come out at all. I'll have to think of a solution to this for next time.












Me and Jough decided it was appropriate to selfie in the elevator on the way up to Penthouse for the event, we look like Simpsons! yeah! So you can see a little snipet of what I wore to the event but you can see one of my previous posts here where you can see the whole outfit in all its glory. I love this dress as its the perfect mix of monochrome and colour. I can see me wearing this a lot!














FYT & co were at the event showcasing some of their new collection which I think is really pretty. I love the patterns and the accessories were the softest material I had ever felt. After asking I came to realise they were made from bamboo! I couldn't believe it! Who knew that materials like bamboo could be made into products like this? Its a great way of using sustainable materials without it effecting the world in anyway. What a great brand to have in this country. I love how lots of british brands are coming about now which most people appreciate a lot more now the country is starting to get back on it's feet. Support our country folks!













After having a little nose around some of the brands that were there the fashion show kicked in. The first brand to rock the runway were Vania Couture who are a fairly new occasion dress brand. They make bespoke wedding and occasion wear dresses designed just for you. The brand came about because Vania, the owner of the brand couldn't find that perfect wedding dress so decided to make it herself and loved the experience of choosing every detail so it was perfect for her. There were some gorgeous dresses on the runway so check out their website if you have a prom or you are getting wed yourself as this could be just what you are looking for.

My camera went crazy with the dozens of cameras all flashing at once so these images look like I've edited them in a funny way but that's just how they turned out. I quite like them to be honest, very artsy! I can assure no one has the same images ha!
I then went snooping around the Tweet Boutique section upstairs and accidentally missed the rest of the fashion show but I had a nice time meeting new brands and chatting to other bloggers. Fiorelli had a tweet shop where you had to tweet an image with one of their bags to them and they would pick their favourites to win them. I tweeted them this image with the black bag and thats what I won yay! I was super happy as I never win anything and its a super cute and sturdy bag. I haven't heard of the brand before but I'm definitely going to check them out as all their bags were gorgeous!

On the left I am wearing a Nina Rai couture headband which I think is amazing! I would look so good if you went to the races or something. Its something different from your typical headpiece. I love that its grey (my favourite colour at the moment) It's just too pretty!








Now I'm going to tempt you all with a chocolate cupcake! How delicious does this look? yum! Cupcakes are always good at events as a good pick me up if you have rushed from work or travelled from far and didn't have time for anything, although a little naughty!

I also came across this brand Oxygenetix who were showing us some breathable foundation they had created which is meant to help a variety of skin problems from rashes to acne. This has actually been used on hospital patients with facial scars to a create a full coverage look so you feel more confident without it looking like you have anything on. On first impressions I can say it does make it look like you but with better skin only after a while I could feel itching? I'm not sure if this was my skin getting used to the ingredients or that it's not good for sensitive skin. I'm going to give it another go and report back.






Here are a few more images of the fashion show I managed to get which didn't go too crazy with thr flashes. I really enjoyed my time at the event and I'm looking forward to more in the future. It's a great way to get insight into new and upcoming brands and meet other like minded bloggers too! If your a blogger yourself I would highly recommend you try going to an event yourself.

I hope you enjoyed this post
Catch you soon

Best Dressed: Met Ball 2014

7 May 2014
Looking at celebrities choice of dresses are the first thing we want to see at any event, judging their risky or safe decisions and lusting over gorgeous couples. I've picked a few of my favourites to share with you, mainly so I can keep a record of dresses/celebrities I want to lust over myself!

Beyoncé wore a Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewellery

I am a HUGE Beyoncé fan...She IS the queen and she didnt let me down, head-to-toe glamourous & what a hot power couple they are! I'm just waiting for the day Blue Ivy is old enough to grace the red carpets.
Sarah Jessica Parker – one of the ball’s co-chairs – wore a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown

I just love this monochrome gown with matching hair piece on SJP! Sex & the City vibes all over.
Now lets make a cuppa tea and get the movie on quick, I need more...

Cara Delevingne wore a top and trousers both by Stella McCartneySource: http://www.vogue.co.uk/ & https://www.google.co.uk/search

Stella McCartney done good this year! All the girls look amazing but I particularly love Cara's look. I'm more of a trouser person, which I've realised in the last month so this is a great alternative to a dress.  Stella herself  has pulled of an interesting number. It really shows off her style and personality which I love.

The gala ball isn't just about long dresses, if you have great legs like Rosie you can pull of anything. I just love this piece which was seen on the catwalk. It has a real hard edge to it but the shape still makes it feminine for a real girly grunge look.


Janelle Monae wore an outfit by Tadashi Shoji

Ok so I'm realising that I'm loving most of the non-gown outfits. And damn this girl has style! Its full of personality & thats the most amazing cape I've seen. Red riding hood has hit the 21st century and I want a piece of that! 


Dita von Teese wore a Zac Posen gown

Last in my selection, even though I was impressed by quite a few of them this year, is Dita Von Teese. Not everyone can pull this off but boy those curves and that flat stomach! This really shows off her glamourous style which never seems to let us down. Her paring of the red with her lipstick and clutch finish off this look to a T! Good job!

As well as some amazing looks which I have shown, there have also been the outfits which not everyone agrees on but you all know that for yourself. I hope you have enjoyed my selection and I look forward to the Met Ball 2015!

See Ya'll next time....
