F&F at Tesco Spring/Summer '12 preview

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to the Tesco bloggers evening where I got to have another natter with the gorgeous Sarah, Sarah, Hannah and Lily. I also got to meet Kat, Emma Lizzy and Jazmine for the first time who are lovely in real life!

I trotted off to Waterloo to the amazing OXO2 dragging my boyfriends sister along as my plus one, too be fair she didn't take much persuasion! The evening consisting of making funny faces in the photobooth, attacking the Stylist man for Topshop vouchers, chasing the waitress around to nab some fish and chips, becoming part of the blue ring club after finding one in a cracker, lusting over gorgeous summer clothes and making the most of the champange. So as you can probably tell, it was a wonderful evening!

Oh the clothes! They were gorgeous! I fell completely head over heels for this cream lace mid dress. It was completely beautiful and felt like it had my name written all over it. I cannot wait for it to hit the stores.

How pretty is this floral maxi skirt? Who would have guessed that you could pick up something as amazing as this in your weekly shop. It will be perfect to take on holiday with a simple vest top and a pair of gold sandals.

I also fell in love with this bright pink bag. It is the perfect size to carry all my junk around and add a pop of colour to any outfit.

I am so pleased to find that midi skirts will be bang on trend again come the summer months. They are the perfect length for work. I love the colour of this green pleated skirt, isn't it lovely?

I love the frills around the neckline on this navy and white polka dot jumpsuit. It helps to add a little extra. Again this would be perfect in the summer months with a pair of sandals and a white shawl for when it gets a bit chilly.

Nomnomnomnom.

Photobooth fun!

Thank you very much to F&F team for throwing such a fantastic night and to Elana at We Are Social for the invite.

When she wakes up in the morning she writes down all of her dreams

Outfit:
Cream skater dress: H&M
Heart patterned tights: Primark
Black faux suede wedges: New Look
Leopard print faux fur coat: Next

Gold ball necklace: Topshop

Gold round wire earrings: Topshop

Assorted gold bangles: Topshop, Acessorize and Primark

Red plastic watch: Toywatch

Yes yes I know I have worn this dress in my last proper outfit post but I am a pauper and don't have any money to buy any clothes. Plus everyone wears an outfit more than once right? Soz for the awful facial expression in the first picture, my camera is complete poop and it hates taking more than one picture.

I have not had this coat off my back since last Tuesday, it is perfect for winter. It has really gone cold recently. I also feel a bit like Bet Lynch in it which can only be a good thing as she rocked the old animal print back in the day. So pleased to be busting out my patterned tights, shamefully found about 7 new pairs in my drawers. Too pretty to be kept hidden away!

Off out for the first time in four Fridays, just a shame it is only to the local pub for some karoke. Quite a few people are work are leaving as they are opening up a Next Home store in town so they are transfering over. For £3 we get a the back room of a pub, as much buffet as we can eat and the chance to laugh at colleagues destroying their favourite songs. What more do you want from a night out eh? I have also been giving the weekend off work. Score! Going to try and source out some indoor bootsales or jumbles to visit. Seeing Foster the People Sunday night, guess I actually need to listen to a few of their songs. I only booked a ticket for a night out!

If you follow me on Twitter you will know that I have had some good news. I will working full time back in London as from the week after next. I have been offered a two month internship in Hoxton with the possibility that it will be made into a more permament position is all goes well! Fingers crossed that I impress eh? I cannot wait to be back in the city and writing again!

What have all you lovelies got planned for weekend?

An evening with Motel and Glossybox

As I mentioned on Sunday I was very lucky to be invited to the Motel/Glossybox bloggers evening to showcase the company's fantastic Christmas collection. Boy do Motel know how to throw a party! It was amazing! I took advantage, as you do, of the cocktails, popcorn and candy floss as well as having a cheeky cupcake or two! I have honestly never seen so many bloggers all in once place. It was so nice to have people to talk to about blogging, I usually get from my friends "huh you take pictures of yourself? Why?"

To be honest I had never shopped in Motel because I just assumed that it was just bodycon and I have never been a fan of trying to squeeze myself into a tight dress. How wrong was it? They sell everything from coloured jeans, leopard print blouses and lace shorts. I had a lot of trouble chosing an item to take home with me so put down two, very excited to see what one I am to be given!

I finally met the lovely ladies who I pester on twitter so much and thus then started to pester them in real life too. Sarah, Rachel, Charlotte, Hannah and Eloise all made me feel so welcome and not so much of a loon when I started to stalk them! I also met up again with Steph and Dani but unfortunately didn't get to talk them as much as I would have like! I met some new ladies such as Rebecca and Sarah. I am so sorry if I didn't get the chance to say boy or hello to anyone, I felt a bit overwhelmed and just didn't know who to talk to. I just keep floating all over the place! I am also sorry if I have missed you off my list, I lost track of just how many people I spoke it!

Thank you so so much for Motel and Glossybox for throwing such a fantastic shindig and to Selina for inviting me :)

I was very kindly given permission to use the photos by the Glossybox team and Steph. I haven't included any pictures of my mug as I am in dire need of a fringe cut. I look like cousin It and you would not have been able to see my face anyway :)
