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?

Pandora AW13 Collection Preview & Flagship Store Opening

So the other day I was lucky enough to attend the Pandora press event to see their new collection and to celebrate the opening of their flagship store on Oxford Street.  I absolutely adore the autumn collection as they venture from muted rose colours into richer hues like emerald green and deep purple. It is inspired by enchanted autumn woodlands and features whimsical designs of delicate feathers and leaves, embellished with glittering stones, capturing femininity and fragility.  The food there was also both beautiful and delicious - I ate far to many canapés, but how can you not when you're surrounded by cake pops and macarons?  I'd like to say a big fat thank you to the Pandora team for putting on such a lovely event and for the gorgeous necklace I received in my goodie bag - it's definitely going to be constantly featured in my autumn outfits!  To see the new collection click here for the Pandora website!

Missguided AW13 Press Day

          

The other day I had the great pleasure of attending the Missguided AW13 press day and lets just say, thank god I took photos of the event before I started on the cocktails because the alcohol was flowing!  It was held in a beautiful stained glass room in a hotel just off Oxford Street in London, I'm so annoyed my photos of the windows all turned out blurry because it was absolutely breathtaking.  The clothes were all on rails, organised by different themes, such as sports luxe, baroque/religious, higher end glam, and so on.  I absolutely love the collection as each item has so much detail and is great quality, which is an amazing combination with such affordable prices that Missguided always promises.  My favourite pieces were the religious prints, sequin maxi skirt (photos didn't turn out good so it's not featured!) and I love the take on the cut out boots trend - the burgundy and snakeskin leather go together so well and they might just make their way into my wardrobe when the collection is released!

I got to speak to the designer who was so lovely, and it's interesting to know the thought processes behind the collections.  I got to spend time with Sarah, Leanne and Sara again, and met Kavita, Robyn and Francesca who are all lovely!  We all got real flowers put in our hair and because we stayed until the end we got the special press goodie bags that were left over a couple of us popped into the American Apparel sale afterwards.

I'd just like to say a massive thank you to the Missguided team for organising such a great event and I hope you guys have liked the little sneak peek of the new collection!

Oh My Love AW13 Blogger Event

    First 3 photos by Oh My Love - all others my own

So a couple of thursdays ago I attended the Oh My Love blogger event to celebrate their new collection and to preview their new advert!  After a lengthly walk (heels were a bad idea) I found the venue and was made welcome immediately.  There was a Mother Flippin' Burgers stand so I had a candy bacon burger (which was absolutely divine!) as well as a Nail Girls table so I got some pretty galaxies put on my nails!  Lastly there was a photobooth set up with a ton of silly accessories so we had some fun with that too!  It was nice to see Sara, Rhiannon and Laura again, and to meet Zoe, Robyn and Lauren!
Moving onto the clothes!  There were a couple of different rails, all with different themes running through them.  I photographed a couple of my favourite items but I don't think they do the clothes justice!  The mixture of different prints and textures alongside quirky shapes and cuts was too gorgeous!
Altogether I had an amazing time and I love going to events and meeting other bloggers.  It's always a bit scary at first but once the drinks are flowing it's always a good time, especially if there are burgers (may or may not had another one at a later point in the night..!).  I'd just like to say a great big thank you to everyone at Oh My Love for organising the event and making it such a success! I'd highly recommend taking a look at their gorgeous clothing, so have a browse of their store here!
