PRESSDAYS: George At ASDA, Specsavers, Very & Barry M

Thursday, 4 September 2014

Just a little update on my latest press days for you guys!

George At ASDA
First, I popped in to George At ASDA to see their Christmas collection! Every time I see a supermarket line I am shocked! The clothes are just so fashionable, they wouldn't look out of place in Topshop but the prices are literally so affordable! There was lots of sequins, my favourite was the sparkly floral skirt which the lady who showed me around was wearing and looked lovely on. I also loved the red jumpsuit (which also comes in blue) which costs £20, that's crazy! My last favourite of the day was the maroon coat which looked so big, warm and snugly!! Looking forward to when this hits the shops!

Specsavers
Next I popped, very briefly, along to Somerset House to see the new Specsavers designs,  after a bit of celeb spotting and a glass of prosecco over looking the Thames, I had a quite look around at all the frames. Thick frames are getting more and more popular, I didn't see a thin frame anywhere!!

After a quick pizza break I walked to St Martins Lane to my next event...

Very & Tanya Burr
Very always do lovely gifting events and this time was extra amazing with the opportunity to pick three things from the collection and special guest Tanya Burr. There were lots of pretty lace co-ords, lovely neoprene materials along with some really interesting patterns! As usual with lots of cocktails, canapés and of course there were cupcakes too!

I really didn't get any good photos as I was the first there, which meant the changing room was empty so I ran in there with all my favourite bits to try them on and by the time I was finished the room was so packed it was impressible to get any photos!

Barry M Launch
 I have always loved Barry M products be it the polishes (which are the best) or the eyeliners or anything else so when I heard they were launching a new product I was very excited to try it! When I arrived, I learned that it was actually two new products, both mascaras, one for length and one for volume which are meant to both work very well together and from the promo photos they looked great! 


 And thats what I did yesterday!!

LIFESTYLE: #MomentsThatMatter

Tuesday, 2 September 2014

August was a big month for me, even more so this year, so when Sure got in touch about their Moments That Matter campaign, it was the perfect timing!

I was challenged to capture all the big #MomentsThatMatter to me and share them here with you! To help me along my way, they send me a package of very helpful goodies which definitely came in useful!

Starting a new job!
Finally! After being unemployed for so long I've finally found myself a little part time job at Boost! My deodorant obviously came in handy for keeping me fresh all day whilst I was running around plus my yummy bounce ball gave me the extra energy I needed during my lunch break!

My 21st!
So this is part 1 which my parents made perfect for me! After a morning of opening cards and presents we got all dressed up and drove into town for Afternoon tea at The Ritz! The hotel itself and the food were both amazing and it was such an experience as it was something that I have wanted to do for a while. There was endless food and I even got a surprise birthday cake at the end!

I definitely had alot of use for a couple of the things in my inspiration box that day, firstly the deodorant which I now use every day and secondly the rollasole shoes were a great help when my dad parked a 10 minute walk down the road! I just slipped them on and then changed into my heels as we got a little bit closer haha. I wore my amaaazing Vesper Two piece (and my trusty ASDA heels) which was so super comfortable, I didnt think it was even possible for something so tight to feel so great on, all my Vesper dresses are the same plus the amazing placement of the peplum meant I could wear a crop top and still hide my afternoon tea bloating (Which is one of the worst kinds hah)!
I had an amazing day and to top it all off, when we got home Andrew came over straight from work with lots of amazing presents and a giant cookie! mmm



My 21st Part 2

Since Andrew was working on my actual birthday, he planned the most amazing weekend for us a few days after. Whisked off to the Sanderson Hotel for two relaxing nights in this crazy hotel, we went to my favourite places for dinner, had breakfasts in the hotel, went out and got drunk in soho followed by a champagne and strawberry fuelled trip to the spa the next morning! We had the best weekend ever! 

Have You Had Any Moments That Matter Recently? 

LIFESTYLE: #QuornBBQ

Monday, 1 September 2014

Having lots of BBQs in the garden with family and friends is one of my favourite things to do in the summer but sadly, for some reason, this year, we really haven't had anywhere near as many as usual so when I got an invite to a blogger BBQ I was super excited since it was probably going to be my last one for this year now that they weather is going all strange!

This BBQ was a little different - instead of the usual burgers and sausages, we had Quorn ones! As always with Quorn, I wasn't too sure to begin with, I've now tried it cooked a few times and its certainly not bad but with the BBQ I thought it was just crumble through the grill - but it didn't! The chefs also marinated the food before they cooked it so both the burgers and the sausages had an extra yummy flavour on top!

I was also very impressed with cocktail sausages - which they have absolutely perfected - and the scotch eggs although I'd never had a real one before to compare it too haha but they tasted good! As well as the Quorn they laid on free drinks from the bar, crisps and nibbles with lots of dips, all the buns, cheese and sauces we needed and for dessert, cheesecake and trifle!

Anyway, we grabbed our food, got a drink (my new favourite thing is a Passion fruit Rekorderlig - soo yummy) and sat around eating and chatting all night!!

Such a lovely way to spend the evening! Big thanks for Quorn for having me!

FASHION: Julia At F&F

Thursday, 28 August 2014

I was recently contacted by a brand called Julia, who are launching exclusively at Clothing at Tesco. Since I love F&F so much, I knew I was going to love Julia too and I was right, there are a few dresses that really caught my eye! Lots of lovely floaty summer dresses which would be perfect for a family BBQ or a picnic at hype park but they now also have a lot more darker colours and prints avalible for the autumn which would be lovely for family meals and evenings at the pub.

I picked this pretty blue, floral, chiffon overlay one which comes with a white slip which was very helpful. It has great length, floaty cap sleeves and a little tie over the elasticated waist. Its just such a pretty piece and looks great with my white heels which I wear to death plus its super comfy!
