London Calling... The Next Day

      Playsuit: Asos Curve. Blazer: Vintage - Charity Shop. Scarf: Vintage - handed down. Boots: Simply Be.

The second post of my little over night trip to London. This is as much as I can show you from the shoot as everything else is shush shush for now, I'm sorry! I really love this playsuit I would say its quite a generous fit though but I don't mind that really, I wanted to look nice but also be comfortable and feel good in what I was wearing as I knew I was going to possibly get filmed in it (which I did) the only not so comfortable thing is the fact you basically have to get almost naked to pee. The blazer I was lucky to find in a charity shop for a fiver a few years ago and it's my go to for all occasions to be honest it's rarely off my back! The scarf is vintage and I have a feeling my mum gave it to me as far as I'm aware I've always had it and in the last few years its been worn to death! Boot's are Simply Be and were a bargain with a discount code, I drag them out all year round really tiny heel that I'm comfortable with!

My make up was to die for, it's all about the eyes. Now I have been known to dabble in eyeliner before from fifties cat eye flicks to full blown emo style but in recent years it's something I've almost become bad at it. I used to be a big fan of thick winged eyeliner but now I'm much more into the thinner more delicate lines, which I can't do at all but after seeing how lovely this looked I'm totally inspired to play up my eyes more. I told the make up artist (Mitzi, who was utterly lovely and a babe) that I tend to wear red lipstick a lot so she put this really lovely colour on my lips which is different to the pillar box red I tend to go for but in the best way I totally love the shade she put on and feel it works so that I don't feel so self conscious for everyday!

So of course I had an insanely ace night and day. It was an experience I will never forget and hope I could do more of in the future but for now I still can't tell you what it was for! I think I can come February so I'll just have to try and zip my lips on here until then!

London Calling... The Hotel Room

 

Not the most inspiring title to this post but I haven't had chance to transfer my other pictures from this little  trip to London, so for now you can just check out what my room was like for the night unfortunately Harry Styles was busy so I had to stay in it alone...

Actually my lovely friend (who may be featured on the blog in the not so distant future) was nice enough to walk me to my hotel and just hang out for a bit which is always nice when you haven't seen each other properly since the summer. My room was really nice and the bathroom was surprising big but this is coming from the girl who had the tiniest bathroom in halls last year! I will say IT HAD A BATH I was naturally very excited until I realised the miniatures in the room were just bars of soap (which I obviously brought "some" home as presents to my family, because I'm nice like that). My hotel was the Travistock Hotel which is next to The Royal National it's only a stones throw from Euston Station. Only downside was how cold it seemed to get once I was curled up in bed, I was probably ill prepared Pj wise! Over all this is just a snap shot of what I took with me.. over packed but didn't if that makes any sense? Took my laptop but rarely used it like I generally do always when I go anywhere. But at least I took an umbrella, yes London you were very rainy come Friday morning!

My next post will be what I wore for the Friday (I arrived Thursday night in case I didn't mention it earlier) and the make up I had some... which I was obsessed with, I felt like you could really notice my eyes and normally they often disapear into my face!

Recycle for Greater Manchester Fashion Show.

I just wanted to show you all some pictures for an amazing event I went to a few weeks ago in Manchester.
I was invited by the lovely Stephanie of "The Wardrobe Angel" to sit with her and her lovely interns (Hi girls!) to talk about vintage fashion/styling and how to wear different outfits depending on your shape. Now in my opinion you should wear whatever you want regardless whether it's supposed to suit your shape or not but I do tend to just go for things that generally do suit my shape and tastes I think on a whole a lot of people do!

This was so much fun and I hope when it's on next year I can get involved even more! I was there as a Blogger but it also worked well with the job I have/had at the magazine. The top image is me "blogging" on the photographers phone (Don't Ask!?). But all in all this was so much fun though I do feel I should of dressed up a little more but never mind! There were also two fashion shows showcasing creations from students at Salford Uni and every collection had the theme of recycling whether it was made using vintage fabrics or a jumper knitted created with plastic bags!

(Thanks to the event itself and The Wardrobe Angel for the photos!)
