Tuxarees

Just a quick one tonight! If you happen to be following me over on Twitter, then you'll have heard me mention some early morning photo shoots with my dear friend Kev. Here's the results of the first one!

http://lookbook.nu/look/widget/5538535-New-Look-Tuxedo-Style-Dungarees-Necessary-Clothing After spotting Lucy of Shiny Thoughts in her dungarees, it reminded me that I had a pair that I'd bought months ago hiding in somewhere in my wardrobe! Mine are originally from New Look, but ASOS have a fab range in all sorts of varieties. I decided to just go with the tuxedo style of mine and wore a white chiffon shirt underneath. This shirt is super cool as it has a little black ribbon to tie as a bow, and I love the black collar and cuffs.

My snazzy shoes are from Necessary Clothing. Every time I wear them, I feel like I should be tap dancing down the streets of London.

My cute little bow bag is also from New Look but I bought it through ASOS.

We took these photo's at around 7:30 in the morning! It's getting so difficult to take decent outfit photos as it's so dark by the time I finish work. I think Kev quite enjoyed being my photographer, so much so that we did another one the following morning, so come back for more tomorrow!!

Goodnight for now :)

Tracks

Ahoy!

I'm back with an outfit post which is a bit more glamorous than usual. This weekend is my brother's 20th birthday. For his present this year, I took him to see a film at the BFI London Film Festival in Leicester Square. He's a big film fanatic so I knew he'd be happy to see any of the bills on this years bill. I chose to take him to see Tracks, a film based on a book of the true story of Robyn Davidson who trekked across the Australian deserts with the help of 4 camels she trained to carry her belongings. It stars Mia Wasikowska and Girls odd hunk, Adam Driver. It's a very inspiring movie. Anyway, here's what I wore for the red carpet event (I took so long getting ready, we sort of missed out on the red carpet part).

I was very excited to get the chance to wear this lacey number. I bought this maxi dress in New Look's sale for just £15! I thought it only right to pair it with some pearls. The pearled belt actually came with another dress and the pearl necklace belonged to my Great Grandma. My shoes were quite glitzy too! I got them in the ASOS sale.

My cute kitty ring is from Wholesaleitonline.com and was just $2.06! The pearl clip is my Mum's (Thanks!)

After the film, I took a wee walk to Waterloo and met a friend for a drink. There's a new vintage train style bar that has opened up just around the corner from where he lives. We were given some 'train tickets' to exchange at the bar for a free beer/glass of wine. The bar had a really cool look to it. The couches looked like luxurious train seats and there were screens showing passing landscapes so it looked like windows. It was called Carriage 34.

I've had fun using my new camera, though I'm still trying to figure out how to use it properly.

I have also been given the chance to trial out an item of clothing from Oasap. Once it has arrived, all shall be revealed...

Monsoon Reward Event

If like me, you have reward/discount cards for almost every shop in the World, then you probably received an invitation from Monsoon to attend their exclusive reward event which takes place tomorrow (Thurs 12th Sept). There will be 50 selected stores holding this event which includes a free exclusively designed Monsoon necklace when you spend £80 or more, personal styling advice and tips, a complimentary glass of fizz (and much more!) AND 15% off all full priced ladies' and childrenswear. If your nearest Monsoon store is not participating, fear not, as these offers are available online with your special rewards code (unfortunately you'll have to provide your own bubbly). Monsoon has recently become one of my favourite places to shop, so I thought to get you all ready for tomorrow, I'd share my top picks!

First up are the day dresses. These are all perfect for work and social events. I am most likely going to buy the first tartan dress. Everytime I go into Monsoon, I'm lusting over it and with 15% off tomorrow, it's the perfect time to buy it!

If you're looking for something a bit more special, how about one of these glamorous numbers? Be the bell of the ball in a Gatsby inspired flapper dress.

With Winter quickly approaching, why not invest in a warm new coat. Monsoon have lots of styles to offer, from this beautifully decorated Mac or this fur lined hood Duffle.

Head over to Monsoon's website as they also have shoes for all occasions, pretty jewellery and practical bags. I'll be sure to come back and show you what I bought on the night!
