Vero Moda Lookbook Spring/Summer '12

While I have been assisting on Junior I have been lucky enough to be able to tag along to some press shows with the fashion assistant. As a result I have been collecting lots of lookbooks and it is making me yearn for some sunshine so I can wear the pretty clothes.

One of the press shows that caught my eye was Vero Moda. I have vaguely been aware of it after spotting it on various blogs and flicking through clothes on ASOS. With Alexa Chung just announced as the face of the brand, it's profile is only going to explode.

This flamingo dress (due to be launched in March) caught my eye straight away. I feel like I should be holidaying in Miami with a cocktail in one hand laying on a sun lounger. I am a sucker for animal prints, they just seem so wonderfully kitsch.

I am so pleased to see that midi lengths are going to be on trend for yet another season. It really is my perfect skirt. I am loving the tie dye effect on this skirt (also coming out in March). This whole outfit just seems brilliant for holidays in the sun.

This is the sort of dress that I wish I was cool enough to pull off (delivered into stores in Feburary). It just seems so fashion forward and I love the colour blocked. Hang onto your coloured jeans for another season girls, you will need them to work the trends in the summer!

I love the hot pink clutch peaking out from under the models arm. It really makes the outfit go pop! Does lace ever go out of fashion? These cream lace shorts are so cute and are available from March.

What has caught your eye at Vero Moda? Would you be interested in seeing some more of the different look books?

P.S Sorry about the dark images, I took pictures of pictures!

Happy Aussie-versary

I was very lucky to attend the Aussie-versary VIP party last night where I had the pleasure of meeting so many lovely people such as Lisa, Dani, Steph, Charlotte, Sinead, Abby and Steph. If I missed anyone out I am sorry, I met so many people that night! They were all so friendly and really made me feel welcome. Especially as my dad was convinced that I was meeting up with serial killer, don't ask, so I was a bit nervous to say the least! I felt like I was at a school disco waiting for the hottest boy in school to ask me to dance but after the champagne I was chatting to everyone!

How amazing is that Aussie hamper? We got to help ourselves to some products to take home. Needless to say I was very excited and as an Aussie virgin I cannot wait to try them all out. I think I might treat myself to the deep conditioner later this week.

I felt very special as I look full advantage of having my hair beautifully curled, as someone who has heavy hair my curls are not always my friend. They always drop out and I have to put so much hairspray on. But I have no idea how the stylist did it but these curls were so soft and stayed in until this morning. I also wore foundation for the first time as I got my make up done, not sure I was a fan! I wimped out getting my shamefully bitten nails done, too embarrassed!

I think I enjoyed the half naked men serving me canapés a bit more than I should have, although it was a bit disturbing when one of them started serving sausages...

The venue was amazing and tucked away on Shaftesbury Avenue where we had full use of the rooftop, felt very exclusive! We all found it surprisingly well after a little help from an iphone!
I haven't been to many posh venues; I tend to stick to the dark and dingy ones.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Lisa for allowing me to gatecrash and to Steph who allowed me to use her pictures. Fingers crossed I will get invited to some more events in the future, they are so much fun!

Just a skater girl

Outfit:

Cream skater dress: H&M

Black chain belt: Primark

Black opaque tights: Primark

Black studded smoking slippers: Topshop

Gosh this camera is awful, bring on getting a new one. I feel like I have lost a limb without my normal camera!

This dress was a bargain at £15, even better that I had a voucher to use so it was in reality free! Orginally brought it for work but alas it's too short and I am sure people in the office do not want to see my behind so it has be resigned for meals out. Shame you can't really see my shoes but I brought those studded loafers from Topshop that everyone seems to be blogging about. Know what ones I mean? They are so comfy and literally feel like slippers. Best £28 I have spent in a long time!

Off out tonight for my best friends birthday to eat lots of noodles. I am gatecrashing her family meal! Not seen her since before the summer so I am very excited to see her beautiful face. Just a shame she's not down for longer. Ahhh well hopefully I can kidnap her when she comes home for Christmas. Kinda selfish of her to live so far away to be honest!

Massive hello to my new readers, you seem to have appeared from nowhere! I am very grateful that you read the old blog.
