I'm so happy to announce that I'm finally back on YouTube with a haul video - hopefully I'll be able to keep up with 2 videos a week from now on as my computer is literally exploding with footage!  It'll be difficult as my computer has gone into repair, but I can use my dads for the time being, just annoying that all my vlogs are on mine, so for now you'll have to deal with a lot of hauls I'm afraid!

So a couple of weeks ago I was very kindly asked if I would like to attend the shoot for the first Fashion Union TV ad, and I always love seeing what goes down behind the scenes, so of course I HAD to go along!

I got an exclusive sneaky peek from the new AW14 collection, some of which I've been able to share with you guys, so..you heard it here first!  This season is all about colour and textures - bright fur coats with an edge, loud prints, layering, and of course super soft, snuggly knitwear!  Fashion Union are on point with it all so make sure you check back to their site often to get your hands on the new collection!

The shoot was based around a rotating cube - sounds a little basic but seriously, go watch the vlog because the final shots look absolutely insane, wish I could pull the same shapes as the pros!  After watching them all day I did get to have my own little mini shoot, which I'll make sure to post on here as I love how they've turned out, but for now you'll have to make do with the BTS footage (;

The ad will be released in September, so keep an eye on your television screens.  Until then, to see more photos from the shoot, including a sneak peek of my own mini editorial, make sure you check out the Fashion Union Instagram!

Drop Dead AW13 Collection Launch Party

          
What I'm wearing:
Cardigan // Primark
Dress* // Motel Rocks


A short while ago I attended the launch party of the Drop Dead autumn/winter line.  I brought along my boyfriend, Alex, as he's a big fan of Drop Dead like I am, and we got to see Zoe & her boyfriend again which was nice!  The new collection stays true to the DD image, featuring all over prints, distressing, and of course comical slogan tees.  The women's collection included loads of printed leggings and baggy drop sleeve vests which I love - I especially want the top with the wolf print on the back, must be sold out on the website though as I can't find it anywhere!  The menswear featured some great knitwear pieces and ombre detailing, as well as a new parka design which Alex actually bought since the event!
I had such a great time at the event and big thanks to the Drop Dead team for organising it.  Make sure you watch Zoe's video of the event and check out the AW pieces on the Drop Dead site.  What do guys you think of the new collection?  Have any of the new items made your wishlist?

Motel Rocks 90's Press Day

      
   
   


   

   
So the Motel Rocks 90's blogger party was on Wednesday, I'd been so excited about the event since I received my mixtape invitation and I met up with Leanne (whom I went to Missguided with) and Hannah before and walked into the Motel showroom which had been transformed into a typical 90's girls bedroom, complete with Polly Pockets, Dream Phone and even a lava lamp!  There were also a load of posters featuring 90's celebs like The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears before she went a bit nuts!  I was greeted with a slushie, and later had a Hooch (which are so nice!) and there was some sushi to nibble on as well as sweets like flying saucers, sherbet and pop tarts.

There were a couple of different stations dotted around, including a Colour Xtreme stand where bloggers had their hair sprayed pretty colours, a Skin Art stand where I got a little glittery star on my face and other bloggers got temporary tattoos, then I got some henna done by Madina Henna Designs.  I've never had it done before but I love it so much, one of my friends actually thought I got a tattoo!

Anyway, onto the collection!  There were a few different themes running through the clothes, including cyber dreams, which included trippy monochrome prints and after dark which was decadent lace and heavy sequins.  There was also a ton of graphic prints revolving around a krishna theme which I loved, and even a dress with a pegasus on it!  Finally, it wouldn't have been a 90's themed press day without tie dye, and there certainly was rainbow colours galore!

After the Motel event I went to the AX Paris blogger party, but I'm going to post that separately as I don't want to overload you with photos!  Anyway, a massive thank you to Selina and the rest of the Motel Rocks team for organising such an awesome day, I had a blast and it's always nice to meet some new bloggers!
