F&F COVENT GARDEN POP UP SHOP

pastel rail - red white and blue - shoes
black and white - clutch bags - lace dress
bird cage display - vintage cosmetic company - champagne
lingere - covent garden view - maxi dress

On Wednesday, I attended the event for the launch of F&F's Covent Garden Pop-up Shop, it was such a lovely little shop (it's only there until today so definitely pop in if you're in the area!). It introduced a 'new way to shop'. You could try on items but they weren't available to buy in store, you could order them to your house or a store near you. You could also use any smart phone to play catwalk shows on your phone when you pointed it any of the special images in store. I thought this was great as there were lots of pieces on display, but the store wasn't cramped or over-filled.
The store is located in the Piazza in Covent Garden, which is a perfect location as it is surrounded by street entertainers, restaurants and other shops, so you could really make a whole day of it while you were there. It tied in beautifully with the Jubilee celebrations with stunning red white and blue dresses on display (see picture 2) and gorgeous patriotic bunting at the windows (picture 11)
The store was beautifully laid out and the staff were very friendly as usual - and beautifully dressed!
如果你有机会,我一定会recommend the pop up store, but if not, definitely head over to theTesco Clothing website等他们a fantastic and well priced range on offer!

F&F A/W 2012 PREVIEW











Yesterday, Darren and I attended Tesco's Florence and Fred Autumn/ Winter Collection event in London. It was a fantastic event, the staff were all very friendly and the new collection was gorgeous! The Autumn/ Winter pieces included a lot of metallics, sparkles, lace and animal print, which was stunning! They also had their current 'High Summer' collection out on show, which was beautiful, lots of pastel colours and we all know I love my pastels!
They were serving complimentary burgers and cocktails as well as soft drinks and hot drinks, courtesy of Meat Liquor, which was lovely! One of my favourite things was the manicures by The Illustrated Nailhttp://theillustratednail.tumblr.com/, they were so detailed and gorgeous! You could've had all sorts of designs such as strawberries, kiwis, watermelons, florals and geometric patterns, which were all fab, I opted for a simple polka dot, as I thought it looked so cute!
Overall, it was a fantastic event and a brilliant day!

I'D PICK YOU EVERYTIME



dress - h&m
cardigan - topshop
boots - local shop
bracelet - destiny matalan
necklace - accessorize
lips - natural collection rose petal

Happy Sunday everyone! This is what I wore to work today,work -on a Sunday! Oh the life of a College student! I'm just chilling with the boyfriend now, having a nice relaxing day in as Easter's almost over and we're back to College on Tuesday, sob. I really love this dress, it was only £12.99 from h&m which isn't bad and they have lots of different styles too! I have a stripey one as well which I'm sure you'll see in a post some time soon!
If you're in the UK, you'll probably also be wondering where our fab sunny weather have got to. I should add a disclaimer on my blog, *beware weather rants in majority of posts* but honestly England, is a little bare-leg weather so much to ask? Ah well, looks like the black tights and boots are here to stay for now!

HELLO SAILOR


top - primark
shorts - forever 21
boots - local shop
earrings - topshop
necklace - topshop
nails - h&m get a rose 4 me
lips - rimmel - alarm

Bit of anchor overkill today maybe? I do love anchors though, especially in the spring/ summertime! I think this top will look even better in the warmer weather with some white lace shorts :) I'm just in with the boyfriend again today, damn this British weather! My hair's just natural today and I thought I'd mix it up a bit with some red lipstick for a change! Hope you're all having a lovely day!

hat - h&m
jacket - h&m
heeled boots - new look
necklace - accessorize
bracelet - ebay
rings - kukee.co.uk/ topshop

My camera was playing up big time today so please excuse the quality! My birthday's next month and I'm getting a new camera - so excited!
Today, me and Darren are just heading into town to do some shopping and things, so I wanted a cute but also pretty casual, but it's been rather chilly and miserable here, as is always the way when we're on a break from college! So I thought I'd break out the old winter hats again! I do love wearing hats and this one is one of my favourites, unfortunately you can't see but it's got a cute furry pom pom on the back, trés chic!

HAPPY EASTER

shoes - matalan

bracelets - Pisa, Italy/ Barcelona
nails - as in last post
lips - MAC Plink

Happy Easter everybody! I'm spending my Easter with my boyfriend today, we're just chilling inside because it's raining now! Typical British weather!

Today I'm wearing what is definitely one of my staple pieces in my wardrobe, my black skater dress! Even though I love wearing colour, I think every girl needs a little black dress (or two!). This is my favourite one because it can be worn casually like I have today or dressed up for a night out! I also love these scarves from Primark, they are a McQueen rip off but that's okay! I love light scarves for this time of year!

I hope you're all having a great Easter!

MINTY FRESH




top - h&m
jeans - forever 21
shoes - primark
spike bracelet - dorothy perkins
peace bracelet - topshop
necklace - not sure - sorry!
nails - sally hansen hard as nails, sheer strawberry + rimmel disco ball
lips - rimmel spotlight beige

Today I'm wearing a pretty simple outfit as I'm not really doing too much. I love this spike bracelet, it's a statement piece, but the minty colour makes it girly and perfect for springtime! I tied in the minty theme with the shoes and the peace bracelet.
请交货cuse the lack of face in this post, I looked completely miserable in every photo I took so this was the best I could do for today!

What do you think?

WORKING ON IT/ INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY - CLOSED




top - new look
skirt & boots - local store, similar on boohoo.com
jacket - h&m
bracelets - ebay/ destiny
earrings - topshop
ring - topshop
necklace - accessorize
nails - both barry m nail paints
lips - topshop lip stick in coy

The title of this post has a bit of double meaning. The first being that this is the outfit I wore to work today, and the second because this is my first post on my snazzy new blog! So I am therefore, working on it. Clever, right? Well I thought so!
After the couple of weeks of teasing us with brilliant sunshine, it's been rather again gloomy here in the UK and I must say I'm rather disappointed to have to break out the leather jacket again. However, rain or shine I am definitely not parting with my pretty springtime pastels!

I really like this outfit, I adore wearing pastel colours and I love these kind of crochet tops. There's currently a baby pink version of this one in New Look, very tempting! The jewellery is my favourite part, don't you just love pastel jewellery for spring? I'm loving anchors at the moment too so I had to have these earrings when I saw them! Also, just to explain, the scrabble bracelet has a D on it, I've not got my name wrong, it's because my boyfriends name is Darren!
